The rehabilitation process begins with dedicated volunteers....
Curly Tail Pug Rescue www.curlytailpugrescue.org received an urgent call about an emaciated pug named Pixie. Apparently her owner was very very ill & Pixie was dying along side of him. Her owner was not able to take care of himself, let alone poor little Pixie. Friends pulled Pixie from the situation and into informal foster care. Everyone meant well but Pixie needs a tremendous amount of care. That is when CTPR received the call. Thank goodness Pixie was able to get safely into rescue and receive care within 2 hours of getting that call! When Pixie came into our rescue, she only weighed in just over 10 lbs and was all skin and bones. She also had cuts all over her body, her ears were infected, and her nails were curled under her paws, and her wrinkles were terribly crusted with dirt and & a yeast infection. Curly Tail worked tirelessly to help rehabilitate Pixie, providing her with love and medical care that our rescue provides for "all" of our Pugs. In one month, Pixie was doing soo well that she had gained 4 pounds, was infection free, her cuts were healing, and she was ready to be adopted! Pixie has since been adopted by a loving family, and her family wrote to us to say, ""THANK YOU! THANK YOU Curly Tail - and, especially Drea! - for rescuing our little miracle girl! She's an adorable, smart, wonderful addition to our family - and George's new best friend."
