Help a Pug, Take a Trip!

Our Pacific Pug Rescue pugs are hoping to cash in their “snuggle miles” and get the medical care they need! We’re raising funds for luxating patella surgeries, diagnostic testing, and other veterinary expenses for some of our current rescue dogs.

Enter our raffle for a chance to win round-trip Southwest Airlines tickets + a $500 gift card while helping pugs get the care they deserve.

A ticket could take you somewhere new — and help a pug get one step closer to feeling their best!

❤️‍🩹Mabel

8 year old Mabel was found locally as a stray. She needed the typical care (spay, dental, etc.), but unfortunately she also has been living with painful knees, called luxating patellas. This is caused when the kneecap does not stay in place, making even walking painful. She is such an active and happy girl, we just know she will feel so much better after getting her knees fixed.

❤️‍🩹June Bug

June Bug came to us from Mexicali, Mexico. At only 8 lbs, she may be the smallest pug we have ever seen! Unfortunately, her little body tells a story of severe neglect. We were thrilled when all of her lab work came back normal and we could get her a spay and dental, but after being here for 2 weeks, she suddenly stopped eating and did not feel good. New lab work shows her liver enzymes are off the charts and we believe that June most likely was born with a liver shunt, which is an abnormal connection that allows blood to bypass the liver, instead of going through it like normal. The liver plays an important role in metabolizing nutrients and filtering out toxins, and a liver shunt bypassing that process could explain why she is so tiny and why she feels so bad. We need to get June Bug to a internal medicine vet to get an ultrasound to confirm this diagnosis and make sure we manage her care in the best way. Sadly June is not a candidate for surgery, but we want to get her on the right path to spend whatever time she has left as a princess!

❤️‍🩹Athena

At just 4 years old, Athena came to us from Tijuana, Mexico. Athena was found near death from starvation and tick disease along with both eyes ulcerated and we agreed to take her in. She spent several weeks being cared for in Tijuana where she built her strength up and arrived to Oregon feeling much better. She has been spayed and had one of the damaged eyes removed for her comfort. Despite all she has been through, she is a happy and well-adjusted girl. Athena has one more hurdle to work through: both of her knees are luxating and she will require specialty surgery to fix them. Once that is done we know she will be unstoppable!
