Dear Fans of Pacific Pug Rescue,

Pacific Pug Rescue is entering its sixth year of helping homeless Pugs throughout the Pacific Northwest. Even with the ongoing economic stress felt by so many, with your support we have continued to maintain our high standard of care for all of the Pugs that come to us. On average we rescue 10 Pugs per month from private parties and shelters. We expect our total for this year to reach 100.

 

PPR is operated entirely by volunteers – people with families, jobs and other responsibilities who give freely of their time purely because of their love for animals. We have 18 foster homes throughout the Portland Metropolitan area along with a cadre of volunteers in Oregon and Washington who help with home visits, transportation, outreaches and the myriad of tasks that keep PPR running smoothly. In addition to our volunteers, we are grateful to Dr. Bob and Dr. Kay Bruno and the dedicated staff of Moreland Veterinary Hospital. Their commitment along with that of generous donors like you makes our work possible.

A Cold Breed by Casey O'Ryan

Now you can experience the many aspects and workings of a puppy mill almost as if you are standing amidst the cages, listening to the barks.  There's a terrific new and involved piece of fiction on the market entitled "A Cold Breed."  It focuses on the vivid discovery, investigation, and shutdown of a realistic puppy mill.  The storyline is fresh; the characters are rich; the gamut of emotions become real.  Spread awareness through a new venue.  A portion of every purchase is donated to the ASPCA.  Swing by the author's site for good information at caseyoryan.comor stop into the author’s blog at caseyoryan.blogspot.com.  Become a friend on facebook.  Thank You for your consideration.
