It's Raining Pugs!
Due to the poor economy, rescues all over the country are seeing an increase in the number of pugs being given up. We are also seeing an increase, but not an increase in people wanting to adopt! Please help by donating or by becoming a foster home. If you shop online, you can donate painlessly by using Goodsearch and iGive (the links are at the left).Mission
INWPR is a registered non-profit charity whose mission is to rescue unwanted pugs in the Idaho Panhandle/Greater Spokane, Washington area and place them in loving permanent homes since 2004. We work with area shelters and other registered non-profit rescue groups.
All rescued pugs are seen by our vet and spayed and neutered prior to placement by INWPR. We spend at least $200 per pug on vet care, and more if you factor in food, supplies, time and gas, so we now ask for a processing fee with your application.
If you are interested in adopting one of our pugs, send in your completed application with a $5 nonrefundable processing fee. There is no need to email us about your interest. No placements will occur without a signed adoption application. Unsigned and/or incomplete applications and emailed applications will be discarded. Applications are kept on file for six months. If you are matched with a dog, you must sign an adoption contract; there are no exceptions.
We will not adopt outside the Spokane Washington/Coeur d'Alene Idaho (Panhandle) area. Save time and do not inquire or apply if you live outside our area. This is a hard and fast policy: NO EXCEPTIONS ANY MORE.
If you are looking for a "cheap" purebred dog, a rescue is not for you. If you are looking for a puppy, don't waste your time applying. We do not get puppies in rescue because they are so cute and adorable that people wait until it's grown to give it up. Please find a reputable breeder instead (a good "test" is to ask them if they know what a liver shunt is.)
