Welcome to the Arizona Pug Adoption And Rescue Network

Looking to adopt a pug? Need to surrender your pug? We can help. APARN is a 501(c)3 non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of the pug breed.

APARN‘s Mission is to rescue abused, abandoned, homeless, unwanted, sick or injured Pugs, rehabilitate them and place them into loving, permanent adoptive homes in Arizona. We strive to educate the public about the Pug dog breed, including its personality, special needs and care. We provide medical care and spay or neuter operations for all of the Pugs that come into our rescue.

We’re recommended by Dogster.com!
