About

Northern Illinois Pug Rescue and Adoption, Inc. (NIPRA) was a 501c3 non-profit organization that existed to assist the community in placing any needy Pug dog in a permanent, loving home. The last pug in our care was formally adopted and NIPRA ceased operations as of December 31, 2023. We would like to thank all of our adopters, fosters, volunteers, and supporters over the years. We couldn’t have done it without you! In the 20+ years of rescuing pugs, we met so many amazing people and made so many friends. More than 1,000 pugs were rescued and rehomed. We’re so glad that we were able to be a part of so many happy stories and we’re very proud of what we accomplished.
