Appalachian Pug Rescue — Saving, Healing & Rehoming Pugs in Need
At Appalachian Pug Rescue (APR), we rescue pugs in need, provide essential medical care, and place them in loving forever homes. Every pug deserves comfort, safety, and a chance to thrive — and with your support, we make that possible.
If a forever home cannot be found, we ensure every pug lives out their best life in a warm, loving environment.
Help us make a difference in a pug’s life.
Our greatest strength is the dedication and compassion of our volunteers. Whether you foster, transport, fundraise, or help behind the scenes, your time truly saves lives.
