We are a 501(c)(3), all volunteer, Non-Profit, Pug Rescue in Huntingdon Valley, PA

Our mission is to rescue brachycephalic dogs and to help other rescues.

Finding Furever Homes

Philly Pug & Short Nose Rescue, Inc. is a 100% volunteer organization to rescue brachycephalic dogs (Pugs, from time to time PPSNR will help out Boston Terriers, English Bulldogs and Shih Tzu's). We are a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization.

We opened Philly Pug & Short Nose Rescue, Inc. because it is difficult to adopt in the tri-state area. We only adopt and rescue in certain counties in PA, NJ, DE & MD.

Our mission is to rescue from owners who have chosen to surrender their dog to a rescue. PPSNR will also rescue dogs from shelters. Our ultimate goal is to place them into a good, loving “furever” home. Like many rescues, we rescue for the life of the dog. This means that if an adoption should not work out for any reason, the dog can come back into our rescue at any time.

Short Nose Dogs are often misunderstood. These small dogs have big personalities. They snort, snore, play, but they do not make good outside pets or jogging partners.

Quite often a brachycephalic dogs grunts and snorts are misunderstood signs of aggression with medium and large breed dogs. We do adopt to families with medium and large breed dogs on a case by case basis.

At Philly Pug & Short Nose Rescue, we believe in doing what is best for all the dogs in our care.
