So unfortunately the little fawn girl was still available tonight on craigslist, so Mike is on his way to Las Lunas tonight to go pick her up. We really don’t want to leave her on Craigslist as it is unfortunate what can happen to pugs listed on there. So if anyone is interested we will have her here with us in Tijeras.

 

We will also be picking up the male fawn pug in Las Cruces on Sunday. Again if anyone is interested let us know.

 

If we do not hear anything I will be contacting rescues outside the state for adoption, as we currently have 8 pugs and can not foster them.  We just did not want to leave these babies hanging, especially the male has been listed for 2 weeks.

 

If you are interested in either pug you can email me at [address removed] or text[masked].  I do work so I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.  We are only charging what the craigslist fees were and not sure of their medical issues at this point but both have said healthy & the male may not be neutered.  The female is $100 rehoming and the male is $300. (These are not OUR fees, it is only re-cooping the fees from craigslist we are paying to get them.)

 

 

To answer a few questions:

Yes, we used to meet the Westside Park on occasion but seemed to get a bigger turn out on the Eastside. I would be happy to schedule some at other parks throughout the month. I would not be able to be in attend as I also work weekends as does Mike, but would be happy to plan them for you all. J

 

I have also wanted to bring back Pugtoberfest as well.  The last few parties I had to do myself and incurred a lot of the expenses myself as well.  Unfortunately, we didn’t have many volunteers which made it hard. It is an incredible amount of work and especially the silent auction. I just found it hard to bring back until we charge an entrance fee to cover the costs & have enough people to help coordinate. But I really hope to do this in the future!!

 

Thank you,

Tracy

Hi, 

 

Do you ever meet at the dog park on Montano /Unser? I live on the Westside, and don't like to go to Los Altos. It's too far with 4 crazy Pugs! I've asked before, but no one answered me. I'd like to be part of the group! I worked with Kelli as well. I helped with all the Pug Parties at Bow Wow Blues, fostered and found her Pugs, and I rescue Pugs on my own. I miss those party days! 200 Pugs, everyone having a blast! Photographers, contests, and the auction became epic! One day we need to have a good old fashioned Pugtoberfest again! 

 

Thanks,

 

Gabrielle

Alright there is another pug listed TODAY for adoption on Craigslist in Los Lunas. It is 4 year fawn female and they can't take with them moving. :-(  They are asking a rehoming fee.

Also the boy in Las Cruces I emailed about earlier less than a week ago, is also STILL available on craigslist. He is fawn 5 year old male and they are asking a rehoming fee $300. (That is similar costs to a rescue fee and I sure they want to make sure he has a good home.) We emailed them and offered to go get him on Sunday so he is in ABQ for adoption. We are worried that he has been on there for almost 2 weeks now. So if anyone is interested in him and can't get down there or wants to foster? He will be up here Sunday night if all goes well.

Just a side note about pug rescue in New Mexico....

Many of you know Mike and I have been helping and rescuing pugs here in NM on our own since Kelly Chapel dissolved the NM Pug Rescue about 4 years ago.  I used to help Kelly & the NM Pug Rescue by fostering & adopting pugs and also organizing the parties & fundraisers. Kelly put her heart and soul into rescuing pugs for 13 years in NM, but as a full-time teacher it was time for her to retire rescue and there was no one to take over the rescue. It is also Full-time job & very expensive!!  No rescue unfortunately makes money, it is a labor of love. :-)

I actually met my husband Mike when he adopted pugs through the rescue!!  We have stayed in contact with local rescues in town since the rescue dissolved and now rescues in CO, TX and AZ rescue too. We try to stay on top of pugs when they need homes and email you whenever we hear of any. Our members are also great about contacting us and spreading the word too!  One of our members recently started a rescue in Santa Fe, so we also stay in contact with her.  We also watch the shelters and email you right away too as they go fast.

Mike and I plan to file for our non-profit status at some point, so we can bring back an official NM Pug Rescue here for you. With both my husband and me having our own businesses, kids and 7 pugs and rescuing any pugs in need.....you can imagine our life is a little busy & crazy!!! LOL

However, we volunteer our time, have driven to TX, CO  and AZ to pick up pugs in need and doing it all on own money. Last year we spent close to $6000 on vet bills just for rescue pug medical costs. And we do not fundraise or solicit from you or the community, as we don't feel it is right without being an official non-profit.

So we understand it is hard when you want a pug and there is not one available.  It really comes in waves!  Just look this week I heard of 3 now and the last 2 months - nothing. It is timing and I will tell you, out of state rescues will adopt here too with certain circumstances.  Our good friend Amie in Amarillo has a great rescue, Gilly in Santa Fe, the Dallas-Forth Worth just adopted to another amazing pug friend again and I do home visits for them.  I do not however breed, I get requests all the time asking for puppies. :-(  I know everyone wants one. But I do not know of any breeders here, my goal is rescue pugs not to profit or sell.

Sorry for the long post, but just seemed like there might have been some miscommunications earlier in the week on rescue in NM. OXOXOXO

Hug & kiss your pugs for us and we have a meet-up scheduled for Saturday, May 21st 10am at the Eubank Dog Park!!!

OXOXOXO

Tracy & Mike and The Pug Ranch Gang
