Special Needs PugsRSS

Our special needs hospice pugs often arrive with debilitating medical conditions. Some are very close to the end of their lives, but others are young and have suffered from profound abuse or an accident that has robbed them of mobility. Hospice pugs need additional medical care, a tremendous amount of love, and a safe place to live out the remainder of their time. A few of these dogs can be adopted, but they can only go to homes where the families are well equipped with dealing with medical or physical challenges for their pets, some of which can be long-term.

Some of these pugs, due to age and or medical condition, will never be adopted but will live out the rest of their lives in one of our loving foster homes. As you can probably imagine, trying to take care of lost, abandoned, abused pugs can cost a great deal of money. All donations to our most special needs pugs are welcome. If you can't donate money we also need things such as food, blankets, travel kennels and so forth (check out our wish list).

Please open your hearts and give to help the rescue pugs who face the hardest challenges ahead - and please remember that all of your donations are tax deductible. Thank you for caring for these precious little ones. The pugs cannot ask, so we ask for them.
