Colorado Pug Rescue

Colorado Pug Rescue (CPR) is an all-volunteer organization organized in 1995 by members of a Denver-area pug dog club who were concerned about the welfare of their breed. CPR works to recover pugs throughout the state of Colorado and occasionally adjoining states. We network with surrounding states to rescue, medically and emotionally treat and place pug dogs.

CPR is:
*Dedicated to the welfare of pug dogs
*Incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation
*Licensed by the State of Colorado as an animal rescue organization
*Operated solely by volunteers
*Supported by the Rocky Mountain Pug Dog Club
*Member of All Breed Rescue Network of Colorado

Additional adoption info

CPR requires an application before anyone is considered for one of our pugs. It is NOT on a first come, first served basis, but the best match available.
When CPR receives a pug, it is evaluated and current applications are checked for a match. If there is no good match, we wait for a good applicant for that specific pug. If there is a good match, the applicant is contacted and a home visit is conducted. If all goes well, the applicant is contacted again to set up a time to sign a contract and take possession of the pug.
