Surrendering Your Pug

Thank you for choosing to surrender your pug to PWR. We completely understand this is a difficult decision for you as an owner and we would like to offer you some reassurance:

All pugs are placed in foster homes rather than kennels.
Your pug will be assessed by one of our fosterers to find them the perfect match.

Useful Information

While we all love our pugs, they can have their quirks. Please provide us with as much information as possible, telling us all about their likes and dislikes. Don’t worry, it won’t deter us.

Please let us know if your pug has any health issues. This will not put us or our adopters off. If your pug arrives with health concerns, PWR will cover any necessary treatment and ongoing veterinary care for life.
We would appreciate it if you could include a photo of your pug. Pugs usually love having their picture taken, so try and get their best side and of course their lovely face.
If you know your pug’s microchip number, please share it with us. If not, your vet can scan your pug and provide the number. It is usually a 15-digit number, so we do not expect you to know it from memory. The pug should have your name as being the keeper but if not do not worry, it will be something we can help you with.
We will try and help every pug we are asked to but on rare occasions we may not always be able to help.
Contact information and PWR Area. Finally, when you call, or email us if that is your preference, please provide your name, the best telephone number to reach you on, and the area where you live. Thank you.

What Happens After Surrendering Your Pug?

Many of the callers enquiring about rehoming their pugs ask about what happens to them once they leave their foster home and go on to be adopted. It’s perfectly natural for people to want to know that their pug will be loved, looked after and go on to live a happy and fulfilling life. One of our most experienced Volunteer Area Coordinators, Jackie, recently put this article together to reassure all surrenderers that their pug will always be extremely well cared-for and treasured within our wonderful pug-loving community…
