Pug Rescue of Northern California (formerly Pug Rescue of Sacramento) is a non-profit organization that takes in pugs and pug mixes from across Northern California that have been abandoned at pounds or shelters, found as strays or turned in by their owners.
They spay or neuter the pugs, make sure they are current on their shots, perform a heartworm test and start medication, insert a microchip, complete a health check and provide for other medical assessments and treatment as needed. The pugs are fostered in the private homes of volunteers and then placed in loving, pre-screened adoptive homes.
