A 501c3 non-profit pug rescue serving northern Illinois and surrounding areas

To rescue, care for, and find suitable homes for unwanted, stray, or abandoned Pugs. To reduce pet overpopulation by increasing public awareness of the need to spay and neuter pets. To provide educational programs promoting the humane treatment of animals. This mission is accomplished through the dedication and energy of our board of directors and legion of faithful volunteers.

NIPRA accepts all stray and abandoned Pugs, regardless of age or health, which we care for until we find responsible new homes. Our ability to accept animals is limited to the foster home space that we have available. We euthanize only in cases of irremediable health problems or other grave circumstances.
