Every Little Bit Helps

Many of you follow us of Facebook and have seen the pictures of Molly and her puppies, Abby & Lucy.

Molly and her best bud, Carly came to CPR very ill and in need of immediate medical attention. They both spent three days at Hollywood Animal Hospital in ICU.  Not only was Molly ill, but also in labor.  She gave birth to Abby & Lucy but is struggling to eat and drink.  Her babies are holding on but are not thriving as well as we would hope.

Carly and Molly

Molly and Carly are just two of several pugs and pug mixes we are now caring for from a recent hoarding case. The dogs were ill, scared and needed to see a vet ASAP.

The love we provide to our beloved pugs is free.  However, the medical treatment is not.  We are incredibly grateful to the clinics & hospitals like Hollywood Animal Hospital and South Shore Animal Hospital who are continually caring for our pugs and coming to their aid.

We also need your help.  The medical costs are rising but a price cannot be put on saving the lives of these sweet pups.  Please consider donating to CPR.  You can do so directly by sending money via PayPal to: cpr@compassionatepugrescue.com (also found on our homepage) ~OR~ you can mail a check to: CPR – PO Box 630626 – Miami, FL 33163.  All donations go directly to the care of our pugs and are tax deductible.

You can also donate to CPR by:

  • Signing up for BarkBox (monthly surprises for your dog!) and using discount code PAPAPUG.  Each time the discount PAPAPUG is used, $15.00 will go directly to CPR.

If you or someone you know wants to help using their walking skills but doesn’t have a dog – no worries!  You can still download the app and help CPR.  The more people who walk, the more they’ll donate to us.

Of course, we have to be careful with our pugs – especially in this Florida heat!  No matter what breed you’re walking, check the pavement temperature.

To My Pet

russell 7

I will never move & not take you with me.

I will never put you in a shelter & leave.

I will never let you starve.

I will never let you hurt.

I will never desert you when you get old.

Nor will I leave you when you go blind.

If that time comes, I will be there to hold you.

Because I LOVE YOU and YOU ARE FAMILY.

Sweet Sweetie

Sweety1

Sweetie is a special girl.  She was saved by CPR and has been in the loving homes of some of our amazing foster volunteers.  Here is a little about Sweetie:

She is approximately 8 yrs young, is incontinent and has an inability to walk on her back legs. However, she is quite mobile and can scoot from room to room, especially well on smooth surfaces. With her feeding and toileting schedule down, she’s doing really well! Despite her issues, she is quite independent and just wants cuddles, hugs and kisses and is just so happy when she’s hanging out with her people, other dogs and kitties too.  

Check out this video made by her current foster family.  It will melt your heart…
