💛 We Need Your Help to Fight for Nala 💛

We don’t ask often. We don’t pull heartstrings just for clicks. We don’t post graphic, heartbreaking photos to guilt people into donating.
But today, we are asking—because Nala needs us.

Nala is just one year old. She came to us from Mexico after surviving life as a backyard breeder. She arrived in terrible shape—scared, underweight, and suffering from a massive, painful growth. We feared cancer. We feared the worst.

Our vet in Texas confirmed it: CTVT—a contagious, sexually transmitted cancer. She was also in excruciating pain from a damaged eye that had to be removed immediately.

💉 We started chemo right away. And for a while, it worked.

We watched her come alive. Even in her isolation setup (to protect other dogs), Nala played. She wagged her tail. She soaked up affection.
Her spirit began to bloom.

But now, after completing 8 weeks of chemo, her tumor is back—and bigger than ever. The bleeding has intensified, and the cancer has returned with a vengeance.

Now, we’re at a crossroads.
To understand what’s going on and if we can still help, Nala needs a biopsy under sedation. The estimate is just under $1,500, and it’s the next critical step in her care.

We’re so thankful to Pug Squad, who already donated $750 toward her procedure. 💛
But we need help to cover the rest. And then there's the great unknown of what the treatment will cost for when we finally get the answers, praying there is an option for her to be treated.

🌿 We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue. Every single dollar goes to the dogs.
We work hard to fundraise responsibly, and we don’t share horrific photos to try to raise money faster. We believe in dignity. We believe in transparency. And we believe this community always shows up when it matters most.

And this matters.

If you’ve been waiting for a way to make a big difference—this is it.
Please consider donating toward Nala’s biopsy. Your gift brings us closer to answers… and to hope.

Thank you for standing by Nala—and every pug we fight for.
