Welcome to our site.
Our Mission as a non-profit organization serving
the Southwest Pennsylvania area is to rescue
older, disabled and special needs pugs that
require ongoing special care and/or medical
treatment from shelters where these particular
pugs are scheduled to be euthanized and
considered unadoptable to the general public,
where we will be dedicated to providing
appropriate medical treatment and placing them
into a nurturing environment, utilizing temporary
foster homes, while awaiting adoption into loving
forever homes.

Each pug will be evaluated on a case by case basis as to the severity of their
particular need or disability along with any ongoing medical treatment considered,
restoring their health whenever possible, or if only corrective surgery is needed,  
whether they will be placed permanently in a foster home where we will be
dedicated to providing medical treatment and long-term care for these pugs for the
remaining days of their lives, or be put up for adoption to find them an appropriate
loving forever home.  
Southwest PA Pugs with Special Needs runs solely on foster families, donations,
volunteers & networking.  Visit our Rescue Info page for more details on fostering.
Volunteering is a great way to help out during events and other upcoming activities
that will be listed on our News/Events Page.  Make sure to visit this page to find out
how you can help.  As a new organization, spreading the word is very important.  
Networking with other sites & organizations is very beneficial in making people
aware that we exist and to steer traffic to our website.  If you would like to become
one of our partners, please email support@swpapug.org for more information.  
Lastly and the most important of all are donations.  To keep our organization
running and to afford the care of rescues, donations are very crucial.  There are
many ways to donate.  Gift Cards, Monetary Donations, Pet Items, etc.  As a start
up, monetary donations are the most important right now.  We have created a new
Paypal Donation button below for your convenience.  Any amount, large or small is
welcome.  Not comfortable with donating online?  No problem.  You can mail your
donations directly to SW PA Pugs with Special Needs.  Send to:  SW PA Pugs with
Special Needs, PO Box 4202, Pittsburgh, PA  15202.
