Petunia update!! In the first pic, Petunia is hiding from the vet 🫣 but she had a great appointment and was given the go-ahead by the vet to come out of isolation and mingle!! 🎉 As you can see from other pics, she fit right in with her short-term foster’s grumble. She has enjoyed having snuggle buddies and sleeping in the hooman bed with everyone. Now that she is stable and getting stronger, she will transition to her long-term foster home in the upcoming days. It is a calmer environment and will be just what she needs for her recovery period. The first-available consultation with the surgery team at UGA was February 3rd, so we booked it. 📆 They said that often surgery occurs the next day, to give you an idea of the possible timeline. A huge THANK YOU to Trevour and Carrie for their willingness to foster little Petunia and be responsible for her many medications, strict eating regimen, and upcoming surgery recovery. They are phenomenal fosters and we know Petunia will be in great hands. 🥰 As you can tell from her nakey pics, she is a wittle bitty girl and gets cold easily so we try and keep her in warm sweaters. Fortunately for Petunia, her short-term foster mom is self-proclaimed pug clothes hoarder 🤭 and has bought tiny pug clothes over the years without even having a tiny pug! She’s been digging them out of totes and Petunia will go to her foster home with a full wardrobe to keep her toasty warm!! 😍 Thanks to everyone who has supported her and continues to support her along this liver shunt journey 🙏🏼❤️

Happy GivingTuesday Eve!! 😉 In the past two months we have taken in two puppies who have ended up being diagnosed with liver shunt. To-date we have spent $3,769.17 and $4,400.78 for Pickles’ and Petunia’s care, respectively. They BOTH will need surgery to correct the liver shunt, and each procedure is estimated to run between $3000-6000 at UGA. As you are considering organizations to support for GivingTuesday, we would appreciate if you would keep these two babies in mind and help us raise the funds needed for their surgeries. We have other pugs in foster that we are responsible for as well, so we appreciate any assistance with these upcoming procedures. Thanks in advance! ❤️

We have several admins who can post so wanted to let you know who this is about to share a funny story and huge blessing - it’s Jen. 💁🏼‍♀️ Tonight our grumble started barking at a delivery that was made. We assumed it was the wallet my husband had ordered off Amazon so he finished watching his show and then opened the door a bit later. He just stood there staring at the porch and said “Ummm, what is happening… I need your help.” I panicked and jumped up to see what was going on and I saw this pile of packages. He looked at me half-accusingly and I said, “I swear, it wasn’t me!! I didn’t shop!” 😅 (This time!!! 🤣) You guys are seriously the BEST. We are blown away by the generosity you have shown us with your Black Friday shopping. 🤯 We can’t thank you enough! Sometimes we are fortunate and a pug comes into rescue from a home that provides their belongings when they surrender them, but more often than not we just get a nakey pug with no harness, leash, dishes, bed, toys, bones, etc. and we must furnish all the things. This helps so much to have these items for our foster pugs and new intakes. 🥰 A sincere THANK YOU to Kimberly Watkins, Tina O’Brien, Carol Borota, and three anonymous donors for your generosity. It was seriously the best surprise ever and thank you on behalf of entire the GPPR team!! 🙏🏼❤️

Our wish for Bug was to have him in his forever home for the holidays. We had identified an adopter for him in October, but it ended up not working out. We asked y’all to help spread the word on social media, and boy did y’all ever deliver. Bug was shared over 1K times and we could hardly believe it!! The coolest thing happened - our friends at (PRFG) saw our plea and reached out to us. They had an applicant to their rescue who was a perfect match for Bug. 😍 They had done most of the preliminary approval processes, and us working together as a team allowed GPPR to expedite the administrative processes on our end and get Bug into his forever home ON THANKSGIVING DAY!! 🥰👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Who has goosebumps?! This would not have been possible without amazing rescue friends at PRFG who truly have the pugs’ best interests at heart; fabulous fosters Taryn and Jess who basically held an adoption pawty while elbow deep in turkey and mashed potatoes; a devoted adoption coordinator, Amy, who selflessly left her family for a few hours on a holiday to go make another family complete; and our adopter, Jen, who made all our dreams for Bug come true! When rescues work together to make magic happen for pugs it is a beautiful thing. Thank you to Lauren and Sherri at PRFG for facilitating the connection with Jen and helping us get Bug home for the holidays! Happy Adoption, Bug!! We are grateful for everyone who helped make the stars align this Thanksgiving ❤️🐾

Ok, we lied and Small Business Saturday wasn’t our last post of the day. 😅 We nearly forgot that our Advent Calendar Fundraiser ends tomorrow 12/1 at 2pm EST. 😳🤯 We also wanted to draw attention to an oversight; 12/1 is a Sunday and the post office will be closed, so we’ll ship on Monday 12/2. Should have looked at a calendar 🙄 sorry for that!! Thanks again to Melissa Waters for hand-crafting and donating this work of art to us ❤️

Last post for today, we promise! 😬 As you know, we are a non-profit and rely on support from the community to operate. When small businesses do fundraising on our behalf, we are humbled and appreciative because, simply put, they don’t have to do it and they didn’t have to choose us! 🥰 It’s truly an honor. On this Small Business Saturday, we want to say thank you to and who so generously supported us this year with merchandise sales and proceeds going to support our rescue efforts. We also want to thank and for hosting our Pug Prom and Pug-O-Ween events, respectively, as well as the numerous event donors and vendors listed at georgiapeachpugrescue.com/donor-spotlight and georgiapeachpugrescue.com/vendor-spotlight. We couldn’t do it without your support and we want EVERYONE to roll out, have a beer at these breweries, shop local, and have a puggin’ great time doing it!! ❤️🎉 Tag your favorite small businesses below!!!

Pickles Update: A few weeks ago we shared that Pickles had an appointment with UGA Internal Medicine for a thorough examination, including a CT scan, to determine the cause of his heartbreaking seizures. As we had suspected (but hoped we were wrong), sadly, Pickles was diagnosed with a liver shunt. He was given medications and a prescription diet and we will be scheduling a consultation with surgery to make plans to correct the liver shunt. Around the same time as we received this news, we had an influx of new intakes, and then Petunia’s emergency, so we have been tardy in posting Pickles’ update. The cost of his diagnostics with Internal Medicine was $1967.48 if you would like to contribute. The receipt and next-steps are attached. We would like to give a HUGE shoutout to Pickles’ foster pawrents, Anthony and Ilona, who have showered him with love and take him to attend fun pet-friendly experiences. On top of that, they have driven him to and from his appointments with the specialists at UGA, and are diligent in providing appropriate feeding and medication regimens to offer him the best health outcomes while awaiting surgery. In their care he is thriving and has gone from a super-skinny 13 pound boy to a healthy weight of 18 pounds. We are excited for his next-steps of liver shunt surgery to give him the best chance at a long, healthy life. Thank you for considering supporting Pickles’ medical fundraiser.

Petunia update: UGA called this morning and said that overall she was brighter and acting more energetic, but that she was still having a lot of diarrhea and they wanted to keep her all day today and overnight again to continue IV fluids. If all goes well tonight, she will be discharged tomorrow morning on Turkey Day!! 🍗 Praying she gets to come home for the holiday. 🤞🏼🙏🏼
