Pug Squad is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to helping pugs in need. Proceeds from our online fundraisers and in-person events are donated to rescues across the country that are working to place pugs in loving forever homes.

Through the power of social media, we also support families who want to keep their senior or special needs pugs but are struggling with the cost of care, by promoting their personal fundraisers to help them raise much-needed funds. Our extensive network of experienced rescue volunteers is always ready to assist rescues in the tri-state area with shelter pulls, transport, and emergency fostering.

Pugs are a special breed (the best, in our opinion!)—they’re adorable, spunky, funny, and full of love. But their brachycephalic (short-nosed) features can make them high maintenance. As pugs become increasingly popular, we’re committed to educating the public about the breed and raising awareness about the growing number of pugs in need due to puppy mills and backyard breeders.
