We at Colorado Pug Rescue
are deeply touched by the generous support we have received for the following
three dogs. We are so very grateful to the donors who replenish our funds after
we respond to emergencies such as these. Thanks to the help of so many of you,
we are able to remain prepared for pugs with urgent medical needs.
SPECIAL HELP NEEDED
This is Ancho, a four-year-old
porgi (that's half pug, half corgi). Ancho is a super happy, easygoing dog who
came to Colorado Pug Rescue with torn cruciate ligaments in both rear knees.
This injury renders the hind legs almost useless. Ancho's knees have been
repaired in two separate surgeries three months apart. The total cost of these
surgeries is $3752. When Ancho's recovery and rehabilitation from the second
surgery are complete, he will be able to use his hind legs as if nothing had
ever been wrong with them, and he will be ready for adoption.
Cost of Ancho's knee
repair: $3752 Raised: $3300
SPECIAL HELP NEEDED
Hi! I'm Kermit. Colorado Pug
Rescue doesn't know much about me, but I can tell you I've been through a lot.
Thanks to Colorado Pug Rescue, I was able to get a ride from Missouri to
Colorado, and I now enjoy my foster family. In addition, CPR is helping me to
get lots of medical care that I urgently need. I had such severe arthritis in
both hips that the joints were permanently dislocated. Colorado Pug Rescue
enabled me to have surgery to restructure those joints and make my hips stable
again. Now they are raising money to help pay for my surgery. The vet said it
would be about five to six months before I am completely healed from the
surgery, but I am doing really well already.
Cost of Kermit's hip
surgery: $1500 A very generous donor has stepped forward to pay the cost of this surgery. Merry Christmas, Kermit!
SPECIAL HELP NEEDED
Meet Puggles, a two-year-old boy.
He was hit by a car November 4, and his family relinquished him to us late the
next night. Puggles had a broken
pelvis requiring
two surgeries to repair.
One side of Puggles's pelvis has been
repaired, and Puggles is expected to make a full recovery from this surgery.
He is now recuperating in a foster home. He's restricted to his crate full time
but may graduate to an exercise pen after a couple of weeks if he is doing well.
Thanks to all of you for your support and generosity; your donations paid for
this first surgery. We're sure Puggles would
give you lots of pug kisses if he could!
Needed for repair of other
side of hip: $1300 The balance needed to complete Puggles's treatment has also been generously donated.
Who We Are
Colorado Pug Rescue (CPR) is
an all volunteer organization established in 1995 by members of
a Denver-area pug dog club who were concerned about the welfare
of their breed. CPR works to recover pugs from private
relinquishments, shelters, and other sources throughout Colorado
and in surrounding states. We network with surrounding states to
rescue, medically and emotionally treat, and place pug dogs. CPR
maintains a five-member board of directors, several committees
and a number of foster homes.
CPR is:
Dedicated to the welfare of pug dogs
Incorporated as a nonprofit organization - 501(c)(3)
Licensed by the State Of Colorado as an animal rescue
organization
Operated solely by volunteers
Supported by the Rocky Mountain Pug Dog Club
A member of All Breed Rescue Network of Colorado
Why are Pugs Relinquished?
The general state of the economy, changing lifestyles, and owners
who no longer want them or care for them are some of the reasons pugs are given
up. Some have a beloved owner who is going into a convalescent facility, a
retirement residence or who has died and no other family member wants to care
for them. Some rescued pugs are from animal shelters or strays whose owners
cannot be found.
Considering
a recurring donation? Give conveniently through Network for
Good. No amount is too small!
For the first half of
2011, our veterinary expenses averaged $5500 per month
Pugs sometimes come to
us injured and debilitated due to abuse, neglect, and human unawareness.
Sometimes, they are even relinquished on the spot at a veterinary clinic
after receiving a diagnosis of an expensive condition. Because CPR NEVER
refuses a relinquished pug no matter his/her physical condition, we may
receive pugs requiring tumor removal, leg surgery, eye surgery,
heartworm treatment, or even surgery and recovery from accident trauma.
Foster pugs can be with their foster families for several weeks while
they recover from medical issues or while we strive to help them through
retraining issues. Foster pugs with chronic health problems or elderly
health issues may spend many months, or even years, in the loving homes
of foster parents while CPR pays for all necessary medical costs and
living requirements.
