Foster Homes Needed
Funding needed
Pug Rescue of San Diego is in great need of Foster homes to care for the Pugs that are relinquished to
us. Usually we place approximately 45 Pugs a year. As of July 15, this year we have received 61 Pugs.
If you can help us out please contact us thru our hotline 619-685-3580 or Email us at
pugsandiego@yahoo.com
Our Foster families are the heart of our organization. Without them our efforts would fail.
Currently 16 Foster families care for our older or infirm Pugs. Many of the Pugs we receive are
seniors or need significant medical help for the rest of their lives. Pug Rescue of San Diego is
committed to the care of any Pug, no matter the age or medical condition. Those Pugs under these
circumstances are termed Long Term Fosters. Pug Rescue of San Diego will care for them for the
rest of their lives.
Understanding the above situation, we unfortunately are extremely low on funds. As the economy
declines so have our finances. Please hear our plea - Donations are needed to continue the care
that we have always been known to give. You may send checks to
Pug Rescue of San Diego
23905 Clinton Keith Rd., #114272
Wildomar, CA 92595
or you may make a donation thru Paypal by clicking on the button below.
A volunteer will contact you and give you the information you need to begin the process to volunteer
as a Foster home.

Meet Ladybug. Long Term Foster. She was surrendered at 16 years old! Imagine, a dear, sweet
old pug relinquished at that age after giving her family devotion and love for so many, many years!
Ladybug's family could no longer afford to properly care for her. Although she came from a home, she
had been kept outside, by herself, much of her life and was in dire need of veterinary care. When
Ladybug came to SDPR, she was immediately taken to the vet. Her mouth was full of rotted, decaying
teeth, she had a stubborn urinary tract infection, arthritis and deafness in both ears. The vets
pulled 15 teeth, put her on pain medication and antibiotics. When she went to her foster parent's
home that evening, she became terribly ill and had to be rushed to the emergency hospital for
additional treatment.
Ladybug is now thriving in her foster home - she takes daily, short walks, lives inside - where pugs
belong - and has a pug brother to play with. Her medical care is ongoing however. She needs arthritis
pills along with glucosamine and medication for a collapsed trachea. Ladybug's current medical costs
are well over $1,000.00. Please help us support Ladybug by sending a special donation to keep this
sweet little bug healthy and comfortable in her old age.

Meet Allie. She is darling of the senior set. Allie is a little girl whose original family could
decided they no longer care for her since she was old. She is in a loving home with
where she can rest her paws and be loving companion. Allie enjoys just being with her foster family.
She also is happy to sit on their lap. This 15 year old girl is nearly blind and deaf but gets around
just fine. Allie will always be a long term foster. Her foster family loves her. They take
her to the Vet for needed visits and care for her daily needs. Pug Rescue of San Diego will take care
of what ever financial costs are involved for the rest of her life but we need your help to continue
to care for this sweet little girl.

Meet Cornelius (aka Corny). Long Term Foster. He was rescued in June when he was found roaming
the streets of Temecula on a hot summer day. We don't know how long this boy, scared and in pain,
wandered around blind and alone. When he was found, his eyes were crusted shut and his decaying teeth
and infected ears caused him to whimper in pain. Corny was taken to a nearby vet who kindly cleaned
up his eyes, but could not provide a long-term home for him. SDPR was called and came to his aid!
No dog deserves to be dumped in the streets and left all alone to find food, shelter and water -
especially not a 10 year old, blind, deaf gray-faced boy! After Corny was placed with a SDPR foster,
he was immediately taken to the vet for a thorough checkup for his eyes, teeth and ears.
Corny is now being cared for by his foster parents the way all old dogs deserve - in comfort, with
food to eat, love and a snuggly bed to sleep in. Corny requires daily eye drops to help his dry eye
condition; he uses a doggy door and gets around very well once he has been shown around. Corny loves
to roll around on his fleece blanket and lovingly look up at you with his big brown eyes; he ignores
the cats and gets along with the other dogs. He enjoys his walks in the cool of the evening - he may
not see the flowers, but he loves to smell them! Corny is available for adoption to someone who would
open their heart to this sweet old boy who just needs daily eye drops, occasional slow, short-distance
walks to keep him in shape, a good diet, and a place to lay down and keep his forever parents company.

Meet Joey. He has been cared for by loving foster family and is gaining weight
and is ready for his forever home. He is 10 years old and lots of fun. Joey needs a family who
will continue with routine training to help him become a good household citizen. If you have
the love and time to work with this wonderful boy please contact us. Joey is considered as
a long term foster as he is 10 years old. He is doing very will and would make a great addition
to any family. He is not on any meds and enjoys playing and also relaxing with his foster family.

Meet Earl. He is 6 years old and a real sweetie. This fellow has epilepsy that is under control
with meds. This is a very inexpensive drug to handle seizures. Other than that he is a happy
not so little man. He was relinquished to a family during the recent fires but they could not keep him.
This boy has been thru a lot. Earl gets along well with other dogs and people. Earl is incontinent
of bowel. His foster family loves and cares for him. They are truly saving his life every day because the
shelter would have put him to sleep. Earl is a long term foster. His foster family enjoys the
love they get in return from this little guy.
