• We actively educate the public about the Pug dog breed & required care, including their personality, health issues, and special needs. 
  
• We offer information to the public on the need for domestic animal population control.  
  
• We try to help people understand the need for Breed Specific Rescues and the correlation between us, puppy mills, and pet stores.  (Please visit our What is a Puppy Mill Page)
  
• We believe that kennel conditions, dog health, &/or population numbers determine whether a kennel should be called a puppy mill or be considered a detriment to our cause.
• We are dedicated to providing the short and long term needs of abandoned or surrendered pugs. 
  
• We give rescued pugs veterinary care, a nurturing foster environment, and permanent placement into a loving home.  

Curly Tail's Volunteers are a group of diverse individuals who have come together for the sole purpose of rescuing Pugs.  We have agreed to donate our various talents so that the pugs in need can live their lives with comfort, love, and care.   We are a non-profit with all volunteers and no paid employees.  Each person contributes in the way best suited to his or her lifestyle and individual skill set.  Our Curly Teams & Volunteers are ever-developing based on the unique ways our members can give of themselves to the organization & to the Pugs.

Curly Tail's Website was developed to reflect of our spirit as people, our approach towards rescue, and the dedication to the pugs in our care.  Videos, pictures and frequent updates are posted to help our supporters feel involved and share in as much of the process and our experiences as possible.   We want people who need to surrender their pugs to know our organization's processes and commitment to providing the best possible care.   Our website shows the work that we do, our drive, our dedication towards rescue, and our commitment to this organization and the people & Pugs that need us.

Curly Kids was created because we believe in young volunteers.  We had not had the opportunity to experience a youth program in any of the rescues we volunteered with before.  Children and young adults have an open, nonjudgmental way of looking at things.  They are eager to help the pugs in our care and are amazing with our special needs pugs.  We feel strongly about nurturing these childrens' interest and hope one day they will continue in our footsteps, support rescue, and continue to spread the message about the proper treatment & care of animals.  We enjoy this part of our rescue as much as the children and Pugs do!  Being a Curly Kid is a special thing and we make our Curly Kids feel very much a part of our rescue.

Curly Tail Blog was created to help people follow our group and get updates sent to them directly about successful adoptions, news, important updates, fun facts, product information, and special cases that have come into Curly Care.  Our Curly Blog is a great way to keep up with what's new in CTPR.

We are proud of the way we have developed this organization and the goals we strive to achieve.  We have determined that our common welfare as people and the welfare of the Pug breed must come first.  Our founders are trusted & compassionate volunteers.  There is no power structure for the sake of having power.  It is a volunteer program, with a sound business structure, designed to provide the best possible care for pugs in need.  We treat each other with respect and professionalism.
