Doggy Steps and Ramps

Good for you in choosing to adopt a Pug rather than buy a Pug puppy! You are not only saving a life, but also helping to put an end to the pet overpopulation problem in the world. And you usually get a better pet from a Pug rescue centre than from an untrained Pug puppy. Although there might be Pugs, a very popular breed, in your local animal rescue shelter you might prefer to go to a Pug rescue centre.

Although there are excellent Pug rescue groups that have websites, there are some things you can do to prevent being taken in by a scam pretending to be an animal shelter. First of all, never pay for a dog you have never met. Don’t be taken in by cute photos ? they can be faked.

And never fall for a “pay ahead” scam, where you can get a free Pug puppy after you send the transportation fees to this overseas untraceable bank. Often, dog rescue groups will charge a non-refundable fee for filling out an application form, but it is a small charge or less than thirty dollars.

A legitimate Pug rescue group will not offer to ship their dogs and almost never have puppies available. They often will not allow potential adopters to be more than a few hours’ drive from the foster home. A legitimate Pug rescue group will base their adoption process a lot like the process for adopting a human child. This is to not only discourage impulse adopting, but to make sure the Pug doesn’t get abandoned again.

You can find links to good Pug rescue centres from Petfinder.com or PugRescue.com. Both of these sites contain two of the most comprehensive lists of Pug breed rescues in America and Canada. Because dog rescues are made up of volunteers, there is no parent organization that governs them or makes them have to put up a website at all.

A good Pug rescue centre will grill you over closely with a ton of questions, background checks, home checks and application forms. They have the final say over who gets what Pug ? you don’t. A good Pug rescue centre will also help you with any Pug information questions you have and can help you with training and advice long after you bring the dog home.

Most Pug rescue centres are a network of foster homes and not one central building. Get to know about Pugs in general before you visit. They often are a noisy breed and naturally chunky. If you not aware of how a healthy Pug behaves, looks or sounds, it will seem that all of the Pugs are quite ill when they are acting normally.

Don’t rush them, and realize that you have to work around their schedules (not the other way around). The adoption process can often take months. In this way, you are reassured of getting a dog that will want to be part of your family.
