Please help us welcome Charlie to the rescue! He is just 3 yrs old and as cute as can be.

Charlie was surrendered because his people couldn't keep him at their apartment. Charlie's foster mom is a Vet Tech and as soon as she saw him she knew something wasn't right medically. He came into the rescue on Sunday evening and on Monday morning he went to work with his foster mom at the vet office so he could be evaluated.

We were surprised to learn that he had a dislocated hip! The vet team wasted no time getting the rest of his intake exam completed and making a plan for his care. It turns out they had a cancelation in their surgery schedule, therefore within hours he was able to have FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) surgery and his neuter surgery. An FHO restores mobility to the hip by removing the head of the femur. This removes the ball of the ball-and-socket joint, leaving just an empty socket.

Charlie will require limited movement while he heals from his surgery, but we are happy he is in very good hands with his foster family.

Please send lots of pug love and prayers for little Charlie. All donations to help with his medical care are appreciated!
