Colorado Pug Rescue (CPR) is
an all volunteer organization established in 1995 by members of
a Denver-area pug dog club who were concerned about the welfare
of their breed. CPR works to recover pugs from private
relinquishments, shelters, and other sources throughout Colorado
and in surrounding states. We network with surrounding states to
rescue, medically and emotionally treat, and place pug dogs. CPR
maintains a five-member board of directors, several committees
and a number of foster homes.
CPR is:
Dedicated to the welfare of pug dogs
Incorporated as a nonprofit organization - 501(c)(3)
Licensed by the State Of Colorado as an animal rescue
organization
Operated solely by volunteers
Supported by the Rocky Mountain Pug Dog Club
A member of All Breed Rescue Network of Colorado
Why are Pugs Relinquished?
The general state of the economy, changing lifestyles, and owners
who no longer want them or care for them are some of the reasons pugs are given
up. Some have a beloved owner who is going into a convalescent facility, a
retirement residence or who has died and no other family member wants to care
for them. Some rescued pugs are from animal shelters or strays whose owners
cannot be found.

Hi! My name is Peanut. My owner had
to give me up because I had some expensive medical problems. When I came to
Colorado Pug Rescue, I was a very sick girl. Colorado Pug Rescue provided
surgery to remove a cancerous tumor and numerous bladder stones. They also took
care of my much-needed dental work. Now I am so much better; a loveable
sweetheart who loves to "talk." I am so glad Colorado Pug Rescue was able to
help me. Please donate toward my veterinary expenses if you can.
Cost of Peanut's treatment: $1148 Raised: $395

small!
Our veterinary expenses for 2011 averaged
over $5900 per month
Pugs sometimes come to us injured and debilitated due to
abuse, neglect, and human unawareness. Sometimes, they are even
relinquished on the spot at a veterinary clinic after receiving a
diagnosis of an expensive condition. Because CPR NEVER refuses a
relinquished pug no matter his/her physical condition, we may receive
pugs requiring tumor removal, leg surgery, eye surgery, heartworm
treatment, or even surgery and recovery from accident trauma. Foster
pugs can be with their foster families for several weeks while they
recover from medical issues or while we strive to help them through
retraining issues. Foster pugs with chronic health problems or elderly
health issues may spend many months, or even years, in the loving homes
of foster parents while CPR pays for all necessary medical costs and
living requirements.
