We understand there are many reasons why people can’t always keep their pets and appreciate that they look to rescue for help.

Northern Illinois Pug Rescue & Adoption, Inc. accepts all purebred pugs into rescue. You will be required to complete and sign a Surrender Form, stating all known information about the pug, including medical records (if available), habits, etc. This form will serve as your legal agreement to permanently relinquish ownership of the pug.

All pugs that come into NIPRA are vet checked, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and treated for any medical conditions before the adoption process begins. All information that can be provided at the time of surrender is extremely important in this process.

NIPRA also takes in stray pugs and makes every attempt to find their owner. If you have found a stray pug and want to surrender it to us, you will be asked to complete a Found Surrender Form, stating details about the pug you found.
