Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Eight-year-old Mel is a loving, outgoing, and energetic guy. His favorite activities include going for walks, playing, moving from window to window during car rides to catch the best views, being petted, and eating all the things. And we do mean ALL the things, because he is a food-motivated guy! Mel enjoys eating his own bowl of food as an appetizer, and then moving on to his second or third course wherever he can find it; in the recent past, these courses may have included other dogs’ bowls and his foster dad’s stash of granola, trail mix, and seasoned pretzel sticks (which were accessed on the sly). When he’s not carbo-loading, Mel enjoys relaxing with his pack and cuddling under the covers in bed next to his human. He isn’t bothered by other dogs but definitely prefers the company of people (which is fair, because they’re the ones that supply the granola). Mel is housetrained but doesn’t love to be crated. Because he isn’t a big fan of solo time, his ideal forever family will have at least one person home most of the time so that he can live a crate-free life with consistent snuggles. If you’d like to make Mel a permanent part of your family, lock up your snacks and apply for him at dfwpugs.com!

More about this rescue
DFW Pug Rescue Club, Inc., (DFWPRC) was incorporated in July 1997 as a non-stock, non-profit corporation for the rescue, care, and placement of unwanted, mistreated, or homeless pugs in Texas.
DFWPRC is the largest pug rescue organization in the United States and has rescued and placed thousands of huggable, squeezable, absolutely adorable pugs — we rescue 5-10 pugs a week.
We rescue ALL pugs regardless of age or medical condition. Since we rescue ALL pugs, our veterinary care is our biggest on-going expense and we average approximately $250,000 a year in veterinary expenses. This amount is after our veterinary care clinics provide deep discounts. 100% of all funds donated to DFW Pug Rescue are used to pay for Veterinary care.
All pugs rescued by DFWPRC are taken immediately to the vet where they are examined, tested (and treated) for heartworm, vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped and rabies shots administered before being placed in a foster or permanent home.
70% of the rescue pugs are heart worm positive and all are treated at DFWPRC’s expense.
DFWPRC is an all-volunteer non-profit organization and do not have a staging area to hold our rescue pugs so we depend on the generosity of our volunteers to provide foster homes until permanent homes can be located.
All pugs must be picked up in Dallas/Fort Worth area by their new families — no pugs are shipped. We adopt in the state of Texas and to the neighboring states of New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana only.
The majority of our pugs are owner surrender due to military deployment, death, divorce, relocation, new baby, marriage, travel, and estate placements.
DFWPRC is not affiliated or sponsored by any national or local breed clubs.
We rescue more males than females (10 to 1), more fawns than blacks (40 to 1), and the average of our rescue pugs is 4-years old. The average life span of a pug is between 14 – 18 years.
We maintain a Certificate of Good Standing with the Texas State Comptroller’s Office. DFW Pug Rescue Club, Inc. is a non-profit corporation with Federal Tax Exemption as a public charity under Section 501 (c) 3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
