Permanent Foster and Hospice
Tootsie
Tootsie came To CPR after her family lost their home to foreclosure. Tootsie was born in about 2007 so she is a senior, but she still has a lot of spunk!
Unfortunately, Tootsie’s back legs don’t work for her anymore and her eyesight has gone. She needs help with all of her bathroom duties as she can no longer do it all herself.
Compassionate Pug Rescue is committed to making sure that Tootsie is well cared for and has everything she needs for a comfortable life in a loving CPR foster home for the rest of her days.
Tootsie currently does not have a sponsor or “Pug Angel” as we like to call them. If you’d like to be a Pug Angel for one of CPR’s Permanent Foster/Hospice pugs, please click our “Donation” Button on any of our CPR website pages and sign up for a Paypal Subscription for $25 per month or more and let us know which pug you’d like to be a Pug Angel for!
Thank you for supporting Pug Rescue! xoxo
Stubby
Stubby came to CPR ion March 2012. He was owner surrendered when his family’s home was being foreclosed on.
Stubby made his personality known immediately at the Vet’s office by biting a vet tech! Afterward, there was a hands-off policy initiated by the Vet’s office and a call went out to a CPR volunteer that had some experience working with dog training and behavior issues. She was shocked by this handsome little pug’s behavior and said it was the worst that she had seen – especially in a pug! But, she said she’d take him on for an evaluation and some behavior training.
After a short time, the volunteer knew that Stubby would not be a candidate for adoption through the rescue. His behavior was so extreme and unpredictable that they thought the only choice might’ve been to let him go. The CPR group was heartbroken at the idea of having to put to sleep a 7 year old – otherwise healthy – pug. CPR and the Volunteer agreed that it could be possible for Stubby to live a happy life with people that understood his personality, could live with it and loved him for it anyway! Stubby was neutered, brought up to date on vaccination, had a dental done, had a cyst removed from his side and was put on heartworm and flea/tick preventatives. Today, Stubby continues to live in permanent foster care with that volunteer and is thriving!
Recently, Stubby (now over 13 years old!), had an abscessed tooth and was rushed in for an emergency dental/extraction. He recovered nicely and is back to his old self!
Thanks to the generosity of CPR’s supporters, Stubby has gotten to live out the rest of his natural life to the fullest possible! Stubby sends a huge Thank You to you all for your support over the years!
