Southern Nevada Rescue Pugs Inc

Pug Rescue in Las Vegas began in 1997 as KC's Pug Rescue. The website rescuepugs.com was launched, and the annual Pug-O-Rama fundraiser began in 2001. In those early years, 315 Pugs were adopted as KC's Pug Rescue alumni.  It soon became apparent that a larger network of volunteers would be needed to keep up with the ever-increasing needs of Las Vegas. Some great traditions were established, and this created the foundation for Southern Nevada Rescue Pugs. (SNRP - SNPR)

In 2005, Southern Nevada Rescue Pugs began. This organization was comprised of a core group of adopting families and volunteers from the original rescue. The transition was a fantastic continuation of the dream of the founding members. We are comprised of a team of diverse individuals with a common goal; saving Pugs in need. Since 2005, we have rescued over 1,100 pugs and pug mixes.

Our adopting families are the heart and soul of our organization. Many have come to adopt from us, and stayed on as volunteers and foster families. If you would be interested in joining our team of volunteers, please contact us.

We are an all-volunteer organization. Every penny donated to rescue goes directly to the care of the Pugs in rescue. We are committed to educating the public about the breed, and finding safe, loving, forever homes for the Pugs in our care.
