The Flat Puglet Project was started by a real pug in San Francisco who wants the whole world to know how perfectly perfect a recycled dog can be.
It all started when the real Puglet asked his human to flatten him with a camera so he could fit in an envelope and travel the world. At first Puglet just wanted to see where his flat self would go and what he’d do when he got there. But then he remembered the New Year’s resolution he made to help dogs in need. And this got him thinking...
What if Flat Puglet could do more than just travel? What if he had… a mission?
Puglet knew there would be fewer homeless dogs if more humans understood that recycled pets are just as good as new ones. If Flat Puglet made it his mission to raise awareness about adopting a recycled dog, all the perfectly perfect dogs in rescue would have homes in no time.
To date, Flat Puglets have been deployed to over 25 U.S. States, the UK, Canada and Australia. Volunteer hosts help Flat Puglet spread the word about rescues by introducing him to local people and places (he's been everywhere from Naval bases to Weight Watchers meetings!). Photos of Flat Puglet's visit are then posted to a website, along with information about recycled dogs.
