how are we different?

Pug Nation is different from many other organizations because:

n We focus on the neediest of pugs. We pride ourselves on always being there for the most vulnerable
dogs—seniors, special needs and pugs with serious health issues. We also provide our dogs with
excellent vet care and train our staff to handle special diets, medication, physical therapy, expressing
bladders, etc.

n Our private facility allows us to rescue pugs without delay; we have our own isolation unit for incoming
pugs that may have communicable diseases and will have plenty of space for any pug in need.

n We have developed a highly-engaged volunteer program to support our mission. We are particularly
proud of our HiPPo program (Honorary Pug Parent), which allows volunteers to act as a “parent” to
a pug at our facility that is waiting for its forever home. HiPPos provide love, comfort, peace and fun
for dogs in need while serving as a champion in helping “their” dog get adopted by socializing and 3
marketing them via social media.

looking ahead

Our vision is to revitalize our new building and create a positive, functional atmosphere for our pugs and
staff. We feel it is important to establish a forever home for Pug Nation and the special, high needs pugs that
may never be adopted.

Additionally, we would like to expand our education on rescue and pugs in particular so potential adopters
understand the special needs of this breed. We would also like to focus on our special needs and senior pugs
and improve on their adoption rates.
