PRFG Year End Giving: 2025

To everyone who donated, bought merch, attended events, supported our Wish Lists, entered the photo contest or bought calendars, joined in donor matching, or participated in monthly giving and company match programs… THANK YOU for making 2025 brighter for rescue pugs in need.

2025 YEAR TO DATE:

Medical expenses: $305,000 - The most we have ever spent on medical care in a single year. We surpassed our total of $285,000 from 2024.
187 pugs and pug mixes saved; the most in one year since 2019.
We currently have 13 Long Term Care pugs who will remain in rescue for the rest of their lives and need ongoing veterinary care, medications and supplies.
159 adoptions

Since we specialize in pugs, we take on bigger medical cases than some other non-breed specific rescues and we go above and beyond to make sure that every pug is ready to start their second chance in life.

Medical care we have provided this year:

Liver Shunt surgery
Orthopedic surgeries (knee, hip, ankle)
Eye surgeries (entropion and enucleation)
Emergency surgeries for pyometra, tumors, bladder stones and intestinal blockages
Emergency visits and oxygen treatments for aspiration pneumonia
Specialist consults and treatments at UGA and UF (Neurology, Opthamology, Cardiology)
Dentals for more than 75% of our foster pugs; many with multliple extractions.
Heartworm treatment for 7 pugs
Spay and Neuters plus basic care such as vaccines, bloodwork, fecals, urinalysis and heartworm tests.
We provide every foster pug in our care with a minimum of 6 months Heartworm prevention which goes with them to their forever home.

As we look forward to 2026, we hope that you will remember PRFG in your year-end donation plans.

P. S. Be sure to check with your employer as many companies offer charitable donation matching.

Our mission is to give pugs in need a safe, healthy, and happy future. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome pugs from surrenders, shelters and other unsafe situations, ensuring they receive the love and care they deserve.

Since 2003, we have been known as Pug Rescue of Florida, a non-profit 501(c)3 animal rescue organization,
EIN: 14-1866385. In 2021, we obtained our license as an official Georgia foster-based rescue organization and are now officially recognized as Pug Rescue of Florida & Georgia (PRFG). All donations are 100% tax deductible.
