We know there is a lot of interest in Pugs, Sparky and Mila. This breed is known to have a host of health problems. It would be irresponsible of us to place in a home until we make sure they don’t have a significant issue. Especially since they came from a backyard breeder. We will accept applications once they are vet checked. Applications aren’t first come first serve, we pick the family that is the best fit for the dog. Stay tuned!!!! ... See MoreSee Less

Ducky is home!! He went to see our friends at Logan Animal Clinic. He had his blood work re-checked. His RBC count is trending up and he’s gained 2 pounds since his visit there last week. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief. We are still waiting on test results to see what caused this mess but for now we will celebrate that Ducky seems to be headed in the right direction. After his vet visit he spent some time enjoying the afternoon sun ♥️ Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes, prayed, donated and shared. We still accepting donations towards his care. You can donate via our website, the link is in the comments below. ... See MoreSee Less

Every rescue has moments that remind us we can’t do this work alone. Today, that moment is Ducky.Our humane agent seized Ducky just in time. Another day or two may have been too late. He was severely emaciated, covered in open sores, and dangerously anemic. Right now, our focus isn’t on how he got here—it’s on giving him every chance to recover.Yesterday, Ducky was moved to the ICU at MedVet to receive a blood transfusion after his red blood cell count continued to drop. We still don’t have a diagnosis, and some of the tests we’re waiting on will take several days to come back.His medical bill currently is at $5,000, and we expect another $1,00-$2,000 in care before he’s healthy enough for neuter surgery and the next chapter of his life.When Ducky came into our care, we made a promise to fight for him. Walking away isn’t an option.The reality is that a case like this stretches a small rescue to its limits. Every dollar we spend helping Ducky is money that isn’t available for the next neglected or abandoned animal that needs us.Despite being so sick, Ducky has been the perfect patient. Wagging his tail and seeking affection and giving the best kissesIf you’re able, please consider donating to Ducky’s care. You can click the link in the comments below that will take you to our website. If you prefer to mail a check message us and we’ll give you an address. If you can’t donate, sharing his story is just as important. Every share gives Ducky another chance to reach someone who can help.Thank you for believing that dogs like Ducky deserve a second chance. ... See MoreSee Less

It’s been a scary 12 hours. Ducky’s foster woke up to him with vomit in his crate. Within 6 hours he was so weak he could no longer stand. When I say we have the best fosters, we aren’t just giving lip service. These wonderful people notified us as soon as they knew something was wrong, then spent the entire day with him at MedVet. They have loved and cared for Ducky like he was their own and they’ve had him less than 48 hours. Thank you Julie and Garren from the bottom of our hearts. Ducky is a humane case. He came to us emaciated and with open wounds on his ears from fly bites. His body condition was 1/5. We are still uncertain at this time why he got so sick so quickly, but we know MedVet-Diley is exactly where he needs to be. We’ve only had Ducky since Friday night but we’ve already got 3k in his care, and we are a long way from having this pup healthy. If you can donate even $5 to his care it would be greatly appreciated. You can donate via our website (click the link in the comments below). If you prefer to mail a check send us a message and we’ll give you the address. Please share, Ducky needs our help. ... See MoreSee Less
