Volunteering for Pugalug

pug face If you can't say no to this face ... then volunteering for Pugalug Rescue might be for you!

Pugalug Pug Rescue always needs volunteers to help in caring for our rescued pugs and pug mixes. Below is a list of the types of volunteer opportunities available:


Fostering Pugs
fostering   If you have pug experience and feel that you would like to offer your home and skills as a foster parent, please contact us at fostering@pugalug.com and we will send you our fostering manual. We screen our foster homes carefully and prefer homes that have previous pug experience. You could help a pug start a new life. Not all rescues will come to you with the same circumstances.

Some duties may include:
  • Transition pug to new home.
  • Vet check ups and post surgery care.
  • House training.
  • Behavioural assessment.
  • Reviewing applications, checking references and home visits.


Fund Raising
fundraising   Pugalug Pug Rescue fund raises all the monies spent on our rescued pugs. The majority of our money goes into vet care and costs. We are always looking for new ideas, energetic folks to help with fund raising.

You can be part of a fund raising committee to:
  • Collect and store raffle items.
  • Manage the raffle table at our events.
  • Take special photo shots of our pugs in costume.
  • Annual calendar and walkathon.
  • Thank you letters to donators.
