The former Cambridge United striker is almost certain to miss the entire National League South season after breaking his leg in pre-season.
Pugh, with the club since 2014, had to be stretchered off 13 minutes into the friendly against Colchester United.
Now the 29-year-old has praised the fans who have helped contribute towards his comeback.
He said: “I would like to thank everyone involved with Dartford football club for the incredible support I have received at a difficult time.
“From the messages, the hospital visits and ever so kind contributions, it has really touched me.
“I am so fortunate to have the support that I do and I will ensure I will do everything I can to make sure I am back out there on that pitch scoring goals for the Darts as soon as possible.”
