Support Our Process: $20 Non-Refundable Application Donation

A Quick Note Before You Apply

We’re so grateful you're considering adoption—it means the world to us and to the pugs who rely on our rescue.

Our adoption process is thorough because we’re committed to setting each pug up for the happiest life possible. As an all-volunteer team (with jobs, families, and plenty of pugs to care for!), we spend a great deal of time reviewing each application, checking vet references, scheduling calls, sending emails, and conducting home checks.

To help support the time and resources that go into this process, we now ask for a $20 non-refundable donation when you submit your application. Once your donation is complete, you’ll automatically receive a tax receipt and a link to our adoption application.

Please make sure to read through our adoption requirements before applying so we can be sure this is the right match—for you and for our pugs.

Thank you for your understanding, and most of all, for opening your heart to rescue.

With pug love and gratitude,
The Coastal Pug Rescue Team 🐾
