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.

Did you adopt your pug? Please consider passing on the love your pug received while in foster care to a pug currently in need.

I am happy to announce that APARN Pug Rescue website has been awarded the ‘Pet Community Dog Rescue’ award.The Pet Community award is handed out to special dog rescue websites who go above and beyond the call of duty to help abandoned and homeless dogs in their local communities. As most people know, all pet rescue centers are made up of hard working, dedicated volunteers who give their valuable time to this great cause, this award is to say your hard work is appreciated and acknowledged by pet lovers within our own online pet community.
Many Thanks,
Mark Singleton, Pet Forums Community
