Surrender A Pug

Surrendering Your Pug

PLEASE NOTE - We are currently taking in pugs on a limited basis due to the increased medical needs of our new and existing 
fosters, and current foster home limitations and unavailability.  

If it is not an urgent situation, you may be put on a waiting list to surrender your pug, however; If you need immediate assistance surrendering your pug, please reach out to these local pug rescue organizations:

PRONE - Pug Rescue of New England: 

GMPR - Green Mountain Pug Rescue: 
  • We will review each submitted form on a case by case basis to determine if foster care is available.
  • We will recommend other organizations and alternative avenues if we cannot be of assistance and we do work with a waiting list when necessary.
  • All intake decisions are based on a variety of circumstances within our organization.  We appreciate your patience.
If you need to surrender your Pug, please submit a Curly Tail Surrender Form.  

Please submit one form per dog.

Be sure to provide us with the name and contact number of your Veterinarian, as requested on the Surrender Form, as we will need it to retrieve your Pug's medical history.  

With all of the information above, we can make a full assessment and find the appropriate foster home for your dog.  Please note, we must have a completed surrender form, medical records, AND photos on file before we proceed with securing a foster home for your Pug.

If you are contacting Curly Tail on behalf of someone who does not have access to a computer, we may fax or snail mail him or her a Surrender Form.  Please send us an email providing us with the mailing address or fax number where we should send the form.

FAQ’s 

 

1.  After I surrender my Pug to Curly Tail, where does he or she live before he or she is adopted?  


After you surrender your Pug to Curly Tail, the Pug is placed in a Curly Tail foster home.  We are not a shelter and do not have a central facility.  Instead, Pugs in foster care live with a foster family best suited to care for them and in some cases attend to any behavioral or medical needs.  All of our foster homes have been approved and screened by a Curly Tail volunteer.  Screening includes a home visit, personal, professional, and Veterinary reference checks.

 

2.  Will Curly Tail come to my home and pick up the Pug I am surrendering?  


For the safety of our volunteers, Curly Tail transporters do not go to the homes of the surrendering owners.  Instead, we have our transporters meet you in a public place. Since we are 100% volunteer based, we do request that surrendering owners participate in a portion of the Pug’s transport to his or her foster home, if possible. 

 

3.  Does Curly Tail do “direct placement?”  Can my dog go straight to an adoptive family instead of living in foster care first?  


The way that Curly Tail helps Pugs find their perfect forever homes includes evaluation and, if necessary, rehabilitation in a foster home before adoption takes place.  Evaluating (and, in some cases, rehabilitating) the Pugs who are surrendered to us first hand gives our Adoption Team the necessary insight into just what kind of Pug he or she is and which forever family would be an ideal match.

 

4.  Can I meet or talk with the foster/forever family my Pug will live with after I surrender him or her?  Can I contact Curly Tail for updates on how my Pug is doing in foster care and/or his or her forever home?


We do not provide surrendering owners with any personal information of our foster homes’ or our adoptive families’.   Rest assured that we screen all adoptive applicants, as well as our foster homes, very thoroughly.  You can view Curly Tail’s website for photo updates of your Pug while he or she is in foster care, and also a photo of your Pug with his or her adoptive family.  You may also contact our Intake Coordinator, for a reasonable amount of updates.  (We ask that you submit for a reasonable number of updates only so we can keep up with our obligations to Pugs-in-need!).

 

5.  Can I surrender my Pug temporarily to Curly Tail?  After I surrender my Pug, can I adopt him or her back in the future?  


We understand the difficult choices within the decision to surrender your Pug.  However, Curly Tail’s policy is that the submission of a surrender form relinquishes ownership of the surrendered Pug and we do not return Pugs to the owners who surrender them.

 

6.  Will my Pug be put to sleep if he or she is not adopted after spending a certain amount of time in foster care?  


All Pugs in foster care will remain there until he or she is adopted, period.  Curly Tail does not put to sleep any Pug in foster care for any reason other than untreatable physical suffering and when it is the best interest of the Pug.
