We rescue, rehabilitate and place unwanted, neglected and abused Pugs in permanent adoptive homes that have been carefully screened. The Pugs and former owners we work with are from throughout Oregon, Idaho and Washington and we rescue pugs regardless of age or medical condition, seeking to provide for their short and long-term needs. Prior to adoption, our Pugs are cared for by our dedicated foster families located in the Portland Metro area. While there and before adoption can occur, our Pugs receive medical care including spaying/neutering, dental checks, vaccinations, and microchips. In addition to saving Pugs, we strive to educate the public about the breed, including its personality, health issues and care, and about the importance of domestic animal population control.

Puppy Pleasers Rescue is a private non-profit no-kill 501c3 licensed rescue developed to find loving homes for dogs and puppies who are in shelters, abandoned, or are unable to be cared for (owner-surrendered). Most of our rescues are puppies. This is our main focus since this will help the development of our little friends while they are young and just beginning. However, we do also take in adults and large breeds. We are not breed-specific and believe all breeds are deserving of love and care. Puppy Pleasers Rescue also works with and supports the prevention of over-population by "performing" and requiring the spay and neutering of animals as well as the spread of canine diseases by adhering requirements set by law and encouraging the upkeep by adopters. All rescues go to their new homes under a fair and simple contract that is expected to be thoroughly read and followed.

Wildlife Response, Inc. (WRI) is dedicated to the preservation of wildlife through rehabilitation and education. One of the most universal challenges today in the battle to save wild things and wild places is how to bond people to the physical world in a powerful enough way to give them the motivation to want to protect and preserve it. It is especially important in our growing suburban and urban communities to increase significant associations connecting people and nature, especially where natural environments and natural experiences are less and less common. On a local level, the steady arrival of new residents to the Hampton Roads area is having a overwhelming impact on our wildlife and natural environment. As we accommodate this progression, it is essential that people who now call the Hampton Roads area home understand the sensitive balance of human and non-human populations, the affect we have on the natural environment, and the best ways in which we can coexist.
