Noel is a wonderful friendly pug who loves to cuddle up next to a warm body. She gets along very well with all the other pugs. She is a very gentle dog. She is currently on medical hold. Noel has labored breathing due to an elongated palate. Our vet has recommended having her palate shortened & possibly her nasal passages widened in addition which should aid in her breathing. We plan to haver her rotted teeth removed at that time also. Surgery estimate is approx. $550. We are currently accepting donations to help with her surgery expenses. Her surgery is scheduled for Feb. 21st. Info. will be updated after her surgery. UPDATE: We've had to push Noel's sugery back. She needs to see a specialist to have her epiglotis trimmed first. This procedure is recommended because her epiglosits is trapping her soft palate causing her to have labored breathing. Her surgery will be done at Northview Animal Hospital in Pittsburgh. We do not have an estimate on this surgery yet. When we do her info. will be updated. We are accepting donations to help with Noel's medical expenses.

UPDATE: We had to move up Noel's surgery to have her epiglotis trimmed due to her having more labored breathing. The vet said her epiglotis was so long it obstructed part of her esophagus which was why she was having such a difficult time. Our bill for Noel's surgery is $2,770.
