Happy Birthday PPRA!!
PPRA is TEN YEARS OLD!!! Our organization was
started in January 1999 by the Malgieri family to help
pugs in need. Our mentors were Southeast Pug Rescue and
Adoption (SEPRA) and Alabama Pug Rescue (APRA). Without
their support, guidance and patience, PPRA would not
have been able to be the successful rescue it is!! We
are in the process of obtaining our 501c3 status.
Many people call PPRA a "Mom and Pop"
Organization because we make our applicants feel as
though they are part of this wonderful rescue family!!
Since its inception in January 1999, PPRA helped over
800 pugs!! Additionally, PPRA is proud to share that
three other pug rescues have been created in the
Tri-State/New England area due to their membership and
participation in PPRA. We are so grateful to have past
PPRA members start their own rescue in order to continue
to use all they learned during their tenure in our
organization! Members branching out on their own to
start Pug Rescues after being part of PPRA and
continuing on the PPRA Philosophy is a special gift and
a great "honor." It's wonderful to share PPRA's great
accomplishments during it's DECADE CELEBRATION!!!
PPRA is an all volunteer rescue organization
dedicated to helping pugs. We are proud to have "Junior
Members" of PPRA. Junior Members donate their time to
help the pugs in need as part of their Community
Services requirements for the various organizations they
belong too. It's wonderful to have our "youth" be part
of the rescue movement in the Northeast. These young
people will be the future leaders of rescue!!
PPRA continues to network with other pug and
non-pug rescue organizations in the Northeast and across
the U.S. Additionally, we have helped pugs as far away
as Alabama and Oregon!! PPRA has many members located
throughout the tri-state area and in New England. Our
members work as a TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves
More). Please
do read about our recent accomplishments due to the
memberships hard work and dedication to helping the
precious pugs of this world....
2008 was a very busy year for PPRA and we expect
2009 to be even busier. We are so extremely grateful to
our staunch supporters who continue to donate to our
organization. We at PPRA thank you in advance for your
interest and support in pug rescue!!!
