Are you looking for the perfect companion? He or she may just be waiting for you at the Alabama Pug Rescue.
The Alabama Pug Rescue is an organization that takes in stray pugs as well as pugs that can no longer be taken care of by the current owner. The organization then makes sure that the dogs are well taken care of and placed in a loving home.
Samantha Hottell is an Auburn student who holds the Alabama Pug Rescue in high esteem. That is because Sam’s dog Minervia Elizabeth, or Minnie, was saved by the organization after being abandoned and hit by a car. Now, Sam participates in many of the events that held each year to raise money for the Rescue.
Watch the video to find out more about Sam and Minnie.
