Another rainy day travel shoutout goes to Angelique, our foster coordinator, who braved the torrential downpour ⛈️ to transport little Lucy!!

Lucy has been in a temporary foster home while we monitored her for any aggressive behavior. So far, Lucy has made the acquaintance of at least 15 pugs; eaten with them, slept with them, shared toys with them, etc. We have not seen her show aggression toward the other pugs, and she made huge progress with the humans, too, letting them pet her and, most recently, not running when they tried to pick her up and put her on the bed at night. 😍 During Angelique’s Formula 1 lap 🏎️ around the great state of Georgia, in the pouring rain, no less, she encountered something unexpected. 😳➡️ Atlanta drivers were struggling to drive in the rain!! They were slipping and sliding like they were crossing Antartica instead of rolling down 285. 🤷🏼‍♀️ When the inevitable fender bender happened, and there was bumper-to-bumper traffic for miles… well, we have censored that part of the story for language. 😜😆🤣

We know this all seems farfetched, because Atlantans are known for their superb driving skills, especially during inclement weather. Paired with the fact that there’s hardly ever traffic on 285, we get it. Mind. BLOWN. 🤯 (AI must have written it!! 😜)

Fortunately, Angelique made it to her destination(s) safely and Lucy is getting settled in at her foster home. We appreciate Angelique’s unwavering bravery in the face of driving in Atlanta in the rain. She deserves a medal.🥇Thank you to Jen for fostering little Lucy. ❤️

We recently received a surrender form for a 7-month old baby girl named Ruby who has struggled with GI issues for some time, ended up with re**al prolapse, and required surgery on Christmas Eve. Her family has paid a small fortune in vet bills and tried everything the vet suggested, to no avail. Still, Ruby was plagued with diarrhea and gut issues to the point where the surgeon opted to keep her stitches in because they feared another prolapse would occur. After much consideration, her family decided to surrender her to rescue so she could see specialists and get to the bottom of what’s going on with her bottom. A member of our team was communicating with the owner to make plans to pick Ruby up, when her car started getting violent and the check engine light came on. 😅 That car was going nowhere but to the mechanic, and it was time for Plan B. Plan B consisted of using the owner and three other volunteers (amazing fosters and adopters!!) to create a transport chain to bring baby Ruby to us in GA - in the POURING RAIN (not part of the plan). Huge shoutout to Linda, Melissa, Anna, and Colby!! ❤️ However, rescue wouldn’t be rescue without some action!! There was a little bump in the road when baby Ruby had blowout-style diarrhea during the trip and needed cleaned up. (Also, it turns out when you tell your husband the story he assumes the pug is on the side of the road with a flat tire - different blowout 🤣) Anyway, this delay altered the timeline in such a way that the person at the last leg would now be late for a critical commitment and asked if we could find a replacement. We posted a panicked plea for help on social media and within MINUTES Lisette volunteered and was on the road, driving over an hour to go get her and bring her to us, then back home. What a hero!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 We can’t thank everyone enough for making magic happen today. Seriously. Dream Team!! Thank you again, and Welcome to the GPPR family, little Ruby!! ❤️🐾 She sees our vet on Monday.

This little hunk, Loafie, had xrays yesterday because something is “off” with his walk. We weren’t sure if it was A) his hips or B) his knees, but just like in school, we should have picked C, because, to our dismay it was C) ALL OF THE ABOVE. 😭 Both of poor Loafie’s knees are grade 4 luxating patella and have scar tissue built up to where one is considered locked. He will need a referral to an ortho and will require luxating patella surgery on both knees. He has dysplasia in both hips, with the left being worse than the right. We will get him started on a joint supplement right away and will monitor his hips. The doctor said that with his knees, because of the scar tissue buildup, he is likely not in any pain, which is AMAZING news in the present. However, for them to get to that point it must have meant a lot of pain in his past, and that truly breaks our hearts. We can’t wait to improve his mobility and quality of life, as it is long overdue for our little meatloafie ❤️ Also, it goes without saying, but best tongue ever!! 👅

Thunder update!! Since his intake exam, this little guy has had a busy schedule of eating, eating, and more eating. After being starved for so long, there are NO words to describe the excitement this little guy exhibits at mealtime. It’s enough to make you want to bawl. But, those days are behind him and he’ll never have an empty belly on our watch!! We are so excited to share that he has gain 4.1 lbs. Even more exciting is that his CBC came back normal, putting some other medical concerns the vet had to rest. Because of this, he was able to get the rest of his vaccines today. 🎉 Soon, he’ll be healthy enough for a neuter. Now, onto his limp that, sadly, greatly affects his ability to run and play and be a pug. 😢 He will definitely need surgery to repair a luxating patella. He also has the issue in both hips (one worse than the other) where the femoral head is not seated properly (dysplasia). They recommended starting him on a joint supplement and monitoring. At this time, his hips do not appear to be extreme or warrant surgery. We are so pleased with how much healthier Thunder looks and the wonderful progress he has made so far. We’ll keep you posted. Go, Thunder, Go!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉

We’ll share some individual pupdates after we’re home and settled from our vet appointment, but seriously how cute are Maddox, Finnley, and Thunder all worried because their friend Loafie just got taken back for an xray?! Such sweet boys 🥰

We’re kicking off our year-end reporting with a heartfelt THANK YOU to the folks who make it possible for us to say “Yes!” when a pug is in need. Fosters are the heart of every foster-based rescue. If you are a foster, go ahead and flaunt that cape because you are a HERO and saved one (or more) pug lives this year!! 🎉 We are quick to boast about the wonderful folks we get to do rescue with. 🥰
➡️ Fosters, your sacrifice does not go unnoticed and you are appreciated. You are AMAZING! Thank you for saving pugs in 2025. 🐾❤️
