Zack is just four years old, full of life, love, and energy. But his heart is under siege. Surrendered for being “too active,” this joyful pug now faces a deadly diagnosis: caval syndrome, a rare and life-threatening complication of heartworm disease. His only hope lies in a high-risk, life-saving surgery at Texas A&M University.

We recently rescued two separate pregnant pugs, and we are pleased to share that both dogs just safely gave birth in the comfort and safety of our rescue. Cranberry, seen on the gray towel, has given birth to seven beautiful puppies, while Stuffing, on the pumpkin towel, welcomed six lovely puppies into the world. We’re grateful to provide them with the care and support they need.

Meet Bingo, a pug mix foster in our care who is a sweet and happy dog with a literal broken heart. His heart valves are too narrow, forcing his heart to work much too hard and putting him at severe risk. But there is hope! A procedure called balloon valvuloplasty can widen his valves and fix his heart. However, this life-saving procedure is very expensive, costing upwards of $6,500, and can only be performed by a handful of cardiologists.

Chance, our little parvo survivor, is doing fantastic! From being lost and living outside to battling parvo, he has now been given the life he deserves. We want to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated to help him, especially Pug Squad for their generous donation. Chance sends his love and gratitude to all his supporters!
