PUP is dedicated to helping dogs in need. We are also a resource to others with the same objective. PUP dogs come from a variety of sources:

• Animal Shelters
We offer rescue services to small dogs found in dire conditions caused by overcrowding and lack of funding, such as those in animal shelters or puppy mills.

• Other Rescue Organizations
We aid other rescue organizations by promoting their animals in need and accepting dogs from them when we can be of help.

• Breeder Release
We take in dogs from breeders wanting to find good homes for them.

• Owner Release
We assist dog owners who need to give up their small dog due to changes in family circumstances.

Whatever the reason, PUP can often help if a dog is in need of a new home. We provide care in comfortable, loving foster homes while searching for a well-suited family who is eager to have a new dog. If you feel you can no longer keep your small dog or know someone else in this situation, please feel free to contact us for assistance.

• Referrals
Oftentimes families encounter problems with their dog's behavior and are unsure of what to do. Moving or other situations may also arise that create the need for finding a new vet who will provide quality care. PUP has numerous resources available and can provide excellent referrals.
