Other Opportunities to Take Action

  • Please support our online auctions. Ask to join the closed group, see the items and bid away. The auction site is “Yogi Bear and Pals Pug-TAS-ti-cal Auction”. Yogi and his sister Daffodil are alumni of Pug Rescue of Northwest Arkansas, as are Dabo and Noelle, who are the current spokepugs for this auction. These auctions are Facebook based. One simple way to provide an item for auction is to donate a gift card you will never use. Gift cards often end the auctions at higher prices than their face value. They also are easy to ship to the winner.
  • There is also a Spring auction managed by “Raising Funds for Rescues” from New York. You may make donations to any auction by simply notifying the Rescue you have an item and then providing a picture for listing. Once again you will need to ask to join the group to see the items that are up for bid, but the process is simple. Once again, this is a Facebook based auction as well. These auctions are loaded with pug items, so if you are looking for unique gift for that pug person, check these auctions for bargains.
  • The Rescue has found it necessary to lease a storage building in Bentonville to hold all the necessary items that have accumulated. The current rent is $49 per month and is payable monthly. It would be immensely helpful if a sponsor could be located to help with this ongoing necessary expense. The Rescue has a contingency plan for breeder shutdowns. When a large breeder or pug hoarding situation is addressed with the Rescue, there are items in the storage building which allows the Rescue to respond quickly with necessary equipment. All of these items are in the same place which helps when a situation presents itself.
  • Pug Rescue of Northwest Arkansas also needs your unique talent. Perhaps you are an artist, a great planner, work for a vendor, are available for transports, are internet savvy or just have some extra time. If so, we can use your help.
