Giving Tuesday 2024: Support senior pugs

Senior pugs are incredibly vulnerable in shelters and on the streets. Often neglected and in dire need of dental work, skin treatment, eye surgery, and basic TLC, we spend $2,300 on average to bring them back to health.

This population is near and dear to our hearts, so this Giving Tuesday, we ask for your support to help us take care of these sweet elderly pugs. The money we raise goes directly toward the medical needs of senior pugs in our care; this immediate care is critical to their long term health.

The good news is that after they're taken well care of by our veterinarians, most of the dogs live out their golden years happy and carefree in the arms of their loving adopters. On occasion, we also rescue seniors so delicate they cannot undergo certain procedures or will require ongoing and extensive care. In this case, they become forever fosters and stay in our rescue for the remainder of their lives.

Thank you in advance for donating toward our senior fund; these little pugs deserve all of the love and attention we can give them.

Each one of the senior pugs pictured is a delight. When they arrived in to rescue, they were in poor health, neglected and in need of care.

Georgie walks on 3 of his legs due to a severe curviture of his spine. He is one tough dude. He was picked up in San Jose, living on the streets. We often wonder how he made it. But once you get to know this fierce little soul, you understand the survivor mode that he must have existed in day after day. He is one of our forever fosters (too delicate and not often adopted) that lives with Shawna, one of our favorite senior fosters in Port Angeles, Washington.

You may remember Genevieve from August, when we posted her intake story about arriving to a shelter during a heat wave. The shelter workers soaked her in a cold bath to keep her from overheating. Temperatures were over 100 degrees at that time in the Central Valley.

Once we got her into our care and to a veterinarian, we found out

that she had a heart condition. She is scheduled to see a cardiologist later this month to determine if she could be adopted in to a home and understand the financial impact to a potential adopter.

Jordan is as sweet as they come. During her dental at intake, she lost all but two teeth. Some of her teeth were loose and took very little to remove them from her mouth.
