Once I submit an application, how long does the process take before I will be able to get a rescue pug?

This is a very difficult question for us because we review requirements on adoption applications and determine if we have a match in foster care. Sometimes, especially in the case of young pugs, we do not have a suitable match in our foster network. You could expect to wait between one week and six months for the right pug for you, longer if you have your heart set on a puppy. Please remember that we are a 100% volunteer organization, and many of our volunteers have jobs in addition to volunteering with us.
