Pug Rescue of San Diego County

This is truly a heartbreaking and tragic story. We adopted Mallory to a family in 2014 and she was just returned very sick, emaciated, and with out of control diabetes. The owner contacted us last month, saying they were out of money and food and we helped them out as best we could. We had no idea of the gravity of the situation though. This poor girl is only 5 years old! We are doing everything in our power to save her and she is getting a wellness check from one of our vets today. We will post more details as they become available.

Please help support Mallory on her journey to recovery! Any excess funds will be used to cover the medical costs of other rescued pugs.

Love & pugs,

Pug Rescue of San Diego County

On July 1, 2015, Kennaii was dropped off at a veterinarian’s office in the Coachella Valley and instructed to be euthanized by the owner. He is only 18 weeks old and has already had to deal with more pain than any animal should have to endure. Kennaii had previously been treated for being hit with a hammer and this time around was delivered to the veterinarian’s office with a broken jaw from a dog fight.

Pug Rescue of San Diego County was notified on July 1st of Kennaii’s situation and by July 2nd, Kennaii was at a local veterinary office in San Diego and undergoing surgery to repair his broken jaw. Because of his age, the vet performed a unique surgery that will require Kennaii’s jaw to be in a “surgical muzzle.” Because of this he will be on a liquid diet and crate rest for weeks.

The initial cost of the surgery will be over $1,500 with the potential for more costs in the future. Pug Rescue of San Diego County’s generous donors have already donated hundreds of dollars for Kennaii’s care, but with the potential for thousands more in costs, a fund-raising goal of $3,000 has been set. Any excess funds will be used to treat and care for other pugs in need.

Pug Rescue of San Diego County is 100% volunteer driven and a 501(c)(3) charity certified by GoFundMe. All of your donations are tax-deductible.
