Hospice Pugs
These are the permanent pug residents the rescue has been blessed with. These pugs are still adoptable to the right special family.

The Adoption Process
Many of the pugs taken in by the rescue have some issues that the foster families are working through with them (either emotional, physical, or training issues) so rescued pugs may need a bit more time and work than a pug without any issues may have. The process the rescue follows for adopting a pug is:
Adoption applications are filled out on the website.
Applications are received via email and are reviewed by board members of Pug Partners. It may take several days for review depending on the number of applications received. If you are interested in a particular pug it is recommended that you complete the application quickly as some pugs do get placed quite quickly and you may not want to miss your opportunity.
The foster family will contact those applicants (either by email or phone) whom they feel would be the best fit for the pug, and after a phone "interview", if all parties continue to be interested, a time will be set up with the potential adoptive family to meet the pug. The foster family will contact the vet references and personal references provided in the adoption application to verify that the potential adoptive family would be a good fit for the pug.
The foster family or a representative from the rescue will conduct a home visit at the potential adoptive family's home. If the references and home visit check out, and the potential adoptive family and the foster family feel that the family/home is a good fit for the pug, the pug may be placed with the adoptive family the same day as the home inspection.
Please note, from start to finish this adoption process often takes 1-2 weeks to complete once a suitable adoptive family is identified, so please be patient!
Possible Reasons for a denied application
1. A home that is not right for a rescued pug
2. References do not check out
3. Other pets may not be right for the pug
4. Children may be too active for a rescued pug
5. Resident dogs that are not altered
6. Not 19 years old
7. Other reasons decided by the board of Pug Partners
