Cheryl and Malcolm Gaw have dedicated their lives to rescuing pugs in South Africa, establishing Pug Rescue South Africa in 2010 to care for the overabundance of dogs in need. The center currently houses nearly 200 pugs, many of whom have been abandoned, are sick, or have been surrendered by owners who can no longer afford their care.
A woman in South Africa has rescued more than 2,500 pugs over the years after she and her husband sold their house, lived in a trailer home for a while and generally reset their lives to help as many dogs in need as they couldRescued pug pose for a photograph in the home of Cheryl Gaw in Johannesburg, South Africa, Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2025. Lots of hair shedding, tons of fun and a constant invasion of your personal space.
They eventually established their Pug Rescue South Africa in Johannesburg in 2010 because of an overflowing number of dogs in their house. It was "never part of the plan" when they looked ahead to their retirement, said Gaw, who is 63. “Of course, the pugs won,” she added. “They are known as the clowns of the dog world, and they can make you laugh,” said Gaw, giving her own breed guide. “Always in your space. They’re just an amazing, lovable breed. And you always have hair on you.”
