PRoNE's Adoption Process
If you have any questions about the adoption process or if you are following up on the status of your adoption application please contact the following individuals: MA,CT & RI Shawna McAlearney 617-233-5707 smmcalearney@yahoo.com NH, ME, & VT Kate Nichols 603-887-3227 pugldy@comcast.net Please note that as a general rule, we do not have puppies less than one year old available. Our adoption fees range from $150 - $350 depending on the age of the dog. The occasional puppy in PRoNE may require a higher adoption fee as well as a spay/neuter deposit or contract. We are unable to predict how long you will wait for a pug to be matched to your family. PRoNE does not place our rescued Pugs on a first come/first serve basis. Instead pugs are placed into an appropriate home where the pug's and adopter's needs match each other. Please note: We adopt our Pugs *only* to applicants who have undergone the phone interview or on-line application and telephone follow up process and are on the waiting list. You must be on the waiting list to qualify to adopt a pug. If you wish to adopt a puppy, we suggest that you check out Patriot Pug Dog Club website: patriotpugdogclub.org or other Pug Club sites and look for a breeder referral link, where you will be given the names of one or more breeders where you may be able to purchase a puppy. Thank you for your inquiry and Good Luck! |

| If you are interested in adopting a Pug from PRoNE the first step is to complete an adoption application. You may do this by contacting an authorized PRoNE application coordinator or by completing an online adoption application. PRoNE charges a fee of $10.00 to process each adoption application. This is a non-refundable fee and is not part of the adoption fee. The application fee ensures that our prospective applicants are as dedicated to the rescue process as we are. Reviewing applications is very important and time consuming and our volunteers take the process seriously. You will receive a call from a PRoNE adoption coordinator within one to two weeks of the date your application and fee are received. When completing your adoption application, please keep in mind that many Pugs act far younger than their years and that the average life span of a pug is 12-14 years or more. What may be considered a "senior" in a lager breed is not the same for Pugs, who often play and walk energetically well past the age of 10. Won't you give an "older" Pug a chance?
