🐾 Foster Care – We are registered foster carers with Pug Rescue & Adoption Victoria.
🐾 Sponsorship – We sponsor fundraising events that support pug rescues.
🐾 Event Organization – We help plan and organize fundraising events for pug rescue efforts.

RESUCE PUG FOSTERING
We have been blessed with six foster Pugs since 2021, with Buster the Blind Rescue Pug our current foster.
We love fostering rescue pugs because they give us so much love, even after they've been mistreated by their previous Hooman's.
They give us hugs that are soooooo warm and snuggly, and nothing beats a sneeze in the face either.
If you are not able to adopt a rescue pug, consider fostering or helping out with Vet trips or fundraising event volunteering.
FUNDRAISING & EVENT SPONSORSHIP
To date, Pug Parties has donated some much needed equipment for the efficient running of the Saffron on the Hill Rescue/farm, all of our can recycling money and we will donate our sales donation money each month for 2026 as well.
We are also planning on helping out with fundriaisng events and heading down to the farm in March for a working bee and to have a play with the current Puggie residents.
As of Feb-2026, our financial contribution to Saffron is $126.10 and we will update it every month so you know how we/you are helping the Saffron Puggies.
LEARN MORE ABOUT RESCUE PUGS AND THE PEOPLE WHO HELP THEM
Many years ago, when I rescued my first pug Louis a.k.a Fatdog through a local Vet who was doing everything they could to save the life of a little black pug whose only crime was that his family no longer wanted him and thought it was better to ‘put him down’ than find a loving home, did I realise just how naive I was about the world of pugs. Now we dedicate our PUGCAST, The Pug Life Show, to educating Pug Pawrents about how to care for their pug, as well as talk to other Pug Pawrents about their pug life.

I’m talking to Joanna from Pug Rescue and Adoption Victoria, a volunteer community foster care network that rehabilitates Pugs, and Frenchies when the need arises, so that they find their fur-ever loving family and to never have to face the possibility of being ‘put down’ because their owners don’t want to help them find a loving home.S1 EP08: Meet PugsSOS (WA)
