Welcome to our site.
Our Mission as a non-profit organization serving
the Southwest Pennsylvania area is to rescue
older, disabled and special needs pugs that
require ongoing special care and/or medical
treatment from shelters where these particular
pugs are scheduled to be euthanized and
considered unadoptable to the general public,
where we will be dedicated to providing
appropriate medical treatment and placing them
into a nurturing environment, utilizing temporary
foster homes, while awaiting adoption into loving
forever homes.

Each pug will be evaluated on a case by case basis as to the severity of their
particular need or disability along with any ongoing medical treatment considered,
restoring their health whenever possible, or if only corrective surgery is needed,
whether they will be placed permanently in a foster home where we will be
dedicated to providing medical treatment and long-term care for these pugs for the
remaining days of their lives, or be put up for adoption to find them an appropriate
loving forever home.

Thank you to everyone who has donated funds to help us out with Jamsime & Bandit's vet bills. We appreciate all the help & support. Jasmine is pictured here recovering from her surgery. |
| Help needed for our rescues 2012 has been a tough financial year for our rescue. Between Ping, Noel and Dante's surgeries we now owe approx. $1,400 in past due vet bills. Poor Noel had surgery to have her epiglotis trimmed due to her having more labored breathing. The vet said her epiglotis was so long it obstructed part of her esophagus which was why she was having such a difficult time. Dante recently had a mass cell removed and is currently recovering. Miss Ping has had a number of issues including her own 2 surgeries over the past few months. Any help, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. |

Phoenix's eye surgery and vet expenses came to $610. We still owe approx. $380 on this bill and are currently collecting donations to help with her medical bill. |
