Who We Are

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.

SPECIAL HELP NEEDED

Peanut

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



Considering a recurring donation? Give conveniently through Network for Good. No amount is too 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.

Tax-deductible contributions for medical expenses may be given through the Donate button above or sent to:
