older, disabled and special needs pugs that
require ongoing special care and/or medical
treatment from shelters where these particular

considered unadoptable to the general public,
where we will be dedicated to providing
appropriate medical treatment and placing them
into a nurturing environment, utilizing temporary
foster homes, while awaiting adoption into loving
forever homes.

Each pug will be evaluated on a case by case basis as to the severity of their
particular need or disability along with any ongoing medical treatment considered,
restoring their health whenever possible, or if only corrective surgery is needed,
whether they will be placed permanently in a foster home where we will be
dedicated to providing medical treatment and long-term care for these pugs for the
remaining days of their lives, or be put up for adoption to find them an appropriate
loving forever home.
