Our Comprehensive Strategy for Pug Rescue

At Tiny Paws Pug Rescue, we are more than a rescue—we are a lifelong partner in the health, happiness, and protection of every Pug we serve. Our strategic plan guides our growth, impact, and innovation in the years ahead, built around three core initiatives: operational excellence, sustainable growth, and stronger community partnerships.

Initiative 1: Set the Standard in Pug Rescue

Goal 1: Deliver the Gold Standard of Care

We are committed to improving every step of the rescue process—from intake to adoption—ensuring each dog receives timely medical care, behavior support, and loving placement.

Our Strategies:

  • Establish data-driven decision-making to monitor outcomes and improve processes
  • Streamline veterinary and behavior programs to shorten shelter stay
  • Develop outreach programs to help guardians keep their pets before surrender becomes necessary
  • Maintain a minimum 90% live release rate through adoption, reunification, and transfers

Goal 2: Collaborate Across California and Beyond

By working with fellow rescue groups and shelters, we extend our reach, share knowledge, and improve rescue outcomes regionally.

Our Strategies:

  • Build partnerships with shelters to facilitate smoother transfer and intake processes
  • Share resources, events, and best practices with like-minded organizations
  • Stay connected through regional coalitions focused on rescue innovation
