Welcome to PugsCom - Home of Pug Dog and Pug Puppy Information
 The PugsCom site is dedicated to providing honest, factual information about Pugs. Some people call them pug dogs, and others chinese pugs. We DO NOT provide puppy or breeder referrals but we DO provide information, whether it's pug puppy information, adult pug information, pug breed information and maybe even just a little bit more information about the pug dog. In the case of pug mixes - bugs, chugs, puggles, etc. - we have a section just for you to learn about the pug portion of your dog! But there are no dogs for sale on this site.
Finding pug information: First you'll want to register with the site. It's FREE! If you're not a registered member, then you won't see the sections or links for Content articles, or the Pug Discussion Forum or the Pug Picture Gallery. That said, the CONTENT link in the About Pugs section, on the Navigation Menu, is a great place to start your search for Pug information. You could also try the PUG FAQ file. Our discussion forum is the heart of the site, with topics about all aspects of the pug breed. We're happy to have you chat about your dog all the time. Use the search box on the right hand menu called, "Search Our Site" which searches everything except the interactive forum, which has it's own independent search.
Your FREE registration gives you access to so much information about pugs, and does not obligate you to anything. We have a newsletter for information in general, and a mailing list that is ONLY for site updates information. We don't sell or lease our membership or mailing lists, and we try very hard to disallow the automatic robots and harvesters that attempt to take them from the messages or comments on the site. We DO NOT allow account signups from free accounts like gmail, hotmail, live and yahoo due to security issues for this site. Read more about why here.
We hope you enjoy learning about pugs and sharing your experiences with your pug puppy, pug adult, or pug senior with us!

Latest Updates to PDE/NME Information |
|
 Pug Dog Encephalitis, one of the scariest diseases of the Pug breed, has been the subject of much research over the past 15 years. In that time, we've discovered that there is a genetic component, and there's now a test to determine if a Pug is a carrier of the gene. While this does not necessarily predict if a Pug will contract the disease, it does let responsible breeders avoid breeding to certain others. We also know now that the disease affects more than just Pugs, and Chihuahuas, Maltese and Yorkshire Terriers can also contract it. In scientific literature, the name has changed to necrotizing meningoencephalitis, or NME. We've updated the information about the disease and the most recent research in our Pug Health Articles section.

Looking for Honest Responses - What Don't You Like? |
|
 We wanted to give everyone an opportunity to write about the things they DISLIKE about Pugs. Even though we're fanatics, we're also honest enough to admit we don't like every single trait of the breed. Please take the time to answer honestly. If you have multiple traits you dislike, you can vote for one every day. Thanks for participating!

Survey: Where Is Your Pug From? |
|
| In light of the situation with Kentuckiana Pug Rescue, we wondered just where folks normally get their pugs from. Who bought their dogs to show? Who bought from a pet store (the survey is anonymous)? Who got their pug from a shelter? Or a formal rescue group? They're all deserving of loving homes. And while you're thinking about it, this would be a great time to make a donation to your local rescue or animal shelter. They need our help.

Pugs In East Atlanta Strut Parade |
|
  SEPRA - South East Pug Rescue and Adoption - will have a float with rescue Pugs in the East Atlanta Strut Parade on Saturday, September 18th at 2pm. You are welcome to come out and march with them, or just stand on the sidelines and cheer them on!
If you are interested in meeting or marching, contact SEPRA through their website at www.pugrescue.com, or meet up near the Ace Hardware in east Atlanta.
Don't forget that you can also support SEPRA and Pug rescue through the SEPRA Store online where you will find all sorts of pug-related items. Shipping is FREE for most items, and for every dollar spent, a portion of your purchase goes directly to SEPRA to continue to help save pugs.
Southeast Pug Rescue & Adoption, Inc. (SEPRA) was formed in Georgia in 1990 to aid in placing lost, surrendered or abandoned pugs in loving, caring homes primarily in the Southeast (GA, FL, SC, TN, MO). Although, we will take any pug in need from any place.
We are an all volunteer, 501(c)(3), not for profit organization dedicated to our pugs. SEPRA will take any and all pugs regardless of age, health and/or temperament, and we've even been known to take pug mixes. Our pugs come from a variety of avenues including shelters, owner surrenders, and even found wandering down the streets.
All pugs are placed in foster care with dedicated volunteers for evaluation and vet-work, which includes: shots, spaying/neutering and treatment for any illnesses, if necessary. We've had many come through with heartworms, knee/hip problems, eye problems, broken limbs etc. We will treat all that is reasonably possible as long as the pug is not suffering. All donations are tax-deductible.
