Got love?
Running a nonprofit on a shoestring budget is rarely easy. But what's really challenging about the work SPR does is finding a much more elusive resource than money: love.
One of SPR's biggest needs is foster homes and it takes someone with a big heart to be a foster pug parent.
Foster homes provide a critical link between the time a pug is rescued from a bad situation and when they find their forever home. Sometimes, the stay is short. Other times, it's a longer process.
Without a doubt, fostering is not for everyone. But for those who do choose it, it can be a rewarding experience, especially knowing that your donation is priceless.
If you think you're ready to open your home temporarily to a pug who's passing through the rescue system, fill out a fostering application. SPR volunteers will be in touch with you to answer your questions and see which pugs might be a good fit for your home and lifestyle.

That's Olive and she's looking for someone who will love her, hold her and fuss over her like the darling little girl she is.
Olive is one of the many pugs available for adoption. If you're interested in Olive, another pug who's listed, or maybe a pug who hasn't even come in yet, start by filling out an adoption application.
Seattle Pug Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, and placement of unwanted, abandoned, neglected, and abused pugs, giving them a second chance in a loving and caring forever home. SPR accepts pugs regardless of their age, temperament or medical condition. Pugs surrendered to SPR receive necessary medical and dental care; are spayed or neutered and microchipped prior to placement; receive heartworm testing and routine vaccinations; and receive behavioral care, if needed.
NOTE: Seattle Pug Rescue is not affiliated with WA State Pug Rescue.
