Bluegrass Pug Rescue's mission is to rescue abused, abandoned, homeless unwanted, sick or injured Pugs, rehabilitate them and place them into loving, permanent adoptive homes in Kentucky and surrounding areas. We strive to educate the public about the Pug dog breed including its personality, special needs, and care. We provide needed medical care and spay or neuter operations for all of the Pugs that come into our rescue.
1. Please start by filling out the adoption application here: http://www.bluegrasspugrescue.org/adoption-form-2. Your thoroughly completed application will assist the reviewer to ensure that the Pug will be placed in a home best suited for the needs of the individual Pug. Please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that you will be approved. Once a completed application is received, the information will be reviewed, references will be checked, then a volunteer will contact you and schedule a time for your home visit. Everyone living in the household needs to be present for the home visit. Once the process has been completed, you will be notified of the outcome. 2. Then, please pay the $25 application processing fee via the "Donate Now" link on our "Donate/Shop" Page (http://www.bluegrasspugrescue.org/donate-now/). Be sure to indicate that the payment is for the application fee and include your name as it appears on the application. 3. Once we get your application fee, we will begin processing your application. Within the next few days, you will be contacted by a volunteer to conduct your phone interview. Please let your references know we will be contacting them. 4. Once a phone interview is conducted, we will contact your Veterinarian and your three personal references. Please note that Pugs will not be adopted to homes or placed in foster care where the current resident dogs are not spayed or neutered. This information will be verified during the Veterinary reference check. 5. Upon completion of the phone interview and reference checks, you will be contacted to conduct a home visit. The home visit typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour. All members residing in the household must be present. Please have a list of questions prepared to ask the volunteer conducting the home visit. If at any time during this process you should decide not to continue, please let us know.
