El Paso Pug Rescue

Status Update - June 2020

Amanda Herrera

Hi Everyone,

I really needed to give you all a status update. I’m sorry for my absence. I’ve been going through a lot right now on a personal level, so I’m going just going to be open and candid. The El Paso Pug Rescue is in somewhat of an inactive state right now due to the pandemic. We are still accepting Pugs, but only if fosters are available. We are still providing medical treatment for those in need too. Unfortunately, we’re not able to complete adoptions at this time since we require home inspections and it is inappropriate to go into people’s homes right now. I may become willing to relax this stipulation in the near future; I’m considering virtual tours of adoption applicants’ homes. For now, the dogs that we have right now are currently safe in their foster homes and will remain there for the time being. If you are interested in any long-term fostering or fostering to adopt (“test-driving”), please send me an email.

Our vet bill is still climbing, but also because of the social climate, it feels a little tone-deaf to ask for money for Pugs when there are other more relevant causes helping people through the pandemic. I’m feeling so socially awkward about this topic and how to handle things right now. I just wanted to mention it, in case anyone is able to help us out and make a donation.

If you have my number, send me a text and let me know if you have any advice for me. If you don’t have my number, just send me an email.

Handwashingly,

Amanda
