Meet Pawsitively Pugs Rescue- joining us at Spring Fling 4/13/25!

Pawsitively Pugs Rescue is back for Spring Fling 2026! They are North Carolina based 501(c)3 non-profit organization with mission to help unwanted and abandoned pugs:

“Until Every Pug Has A Home."

PPR is operated by volunteers and relies solely on donations from supporters. They have no paid staff, so every penny of your tax-deductible donation goes to the care of the pugs in their rescue. They also greatly appreciate the gift of time and would love to have more volunteers and fosters to support them in their mission.

Pugs surrendered to PPR receive necessary medical care; are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and receive routine vaccinations before placement in their forever homes.

"Pawsitively Pugs Rescue is dedicated to the rescue, care, and placement of unwanted, abandoned, neglected and abused pugs, giving each a second chance at a loving and caring forever home. PPR accepts pugs regardless of their age, temperament or medical condition."

Adopt Me! Meryl is currently available from Pawsitively Pugs Rescue. — Adoptable Meryl

Meet Meryl (again)!

(and maybe add her to your family...)

You may recognize this pretty girl from last year's blog. This sweetheart is Meryl, a ten-year-old pug mix, who is still looking for her forever home. She found herself in a shelter and luckily ended up with PPR. She loves to play with the other young dogs in her foster home and following her foster mom all around. She enjoys getting love and attention and we think she will be a great fit for almost any home.

When PPR first pulled Meryl out of the shelter it was immediately clear that her knee was popping out of place when she walks (not that it stops her from rough housing!) so she saw the rescue vet and had surgery to correct her knee. Unfortunately, the surgery was not successful. Since this leg didn’t bother her all or affect her quality of life the decision between the vet and rescue was to not put her through the surgery again. This little sweetheart with some extra character is ready for a loving family.

Meryl is housebroken, current on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. If you would like to be considered as a forever home for her, please fill out an adoption application today!

You can learn more about Meryl and all of Pawsitively Pugs' other adoptable dogs on their website and follow them on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to keep up with all their activities!

Success Story: Lulu Pug

Lulu Finds a Home — **Click here to see Lulu with her new family!!**

Lulu came into PPR after her family went into assisted living. She was estimated to be between 12-14 years old, but still full of spunk! After about 4 months with the rescue, a wonderful couple drove 6 hours from Pennsylvania to give her the best home for the rest of her golden years! PPR and Lulu are so lucky to have this couple that has opened their home to 6 senior pugs from PPR over the years!

Since their start in 2017, Pawsitively Pugs Rescue has rescued over 275 pugs and is still going strong!
