Georgia Peach Pug Rescue

Georgia Peach Pug Rescue We are a Georgia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit pug rescue organization.

Our purpose is to rescue pugs from a variety of situations and place them in volunteer foster homes where they will live while they receive the emotional, behavioral, medical, and nutritional care necessary to enhance their quality-of-life and prepare them for transition to their permanent home.

By the end of all the vet appointments scheduled for today we will have spent around $15,000.00 on vet bills in the past two weeks. That might be chump change to large rescues, but it’s an extraordinary amount for a small rescue. On this $5 Friday, we would love your support. Please do not doubt the effect that a small, heartfelt donation can make.

She is out of surgery and has woken up from her anesthesia! They said that the surgery went well and that there were no complications with the procedure. They were able to get the cellophane around her shunt and took a biopsy of her liver (the results of that will be back in a week). They were able to also complete her spay while she was under. Apparently she regurgitated a little bit while she was under anesthesia so they are going to be monitoring her for aspiration pneumonia. It is too soon to say when she can go home, that will depend on how she rebounds in the next day or so. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and well-wishes for this sweet girl!! ❤️

Quick Petunia update. The doctor called during surgery because once they got in there, they discovered her liver shunt is quite a bit larger than they were able to measure with the CAT scan. Basically what this means is the metal ring they were planning to use to close off the shunt, they would have to use a very large ring and they said the rings are pretty heavy and given her small size they do not think that is the best way to proceed. So they are proceeding with a cellophane band that will serve the same purpose, to gradually close off the shunt. They said both have similar outcomes and so they were just calling to give us a heads up. They said regardless of which method they use, given that the shunt is so large there is a higher likelihood that it will never completely close off, and she may still require medication or prescription food even after this surgery. There is even a chance she might require future surgeries. So of course that is not the news we were hoping to hear at this time, but we are going to BELIEVE and SPEAK INTO EXISTENCE that her little body will heal and that shunt will completely close off. Otherwise they said she is tolerating surgery well and they will call after with an update.

Pickles is our organization’s first liver shunt surgery. He is in foster and his foster family took him to and from his procedure, leaving us wondering what his incision looked like. 👀 We asked, and his foster dad was kind enough to send this picture. Without a doubt, Pickles is our HERO for enduring a year with a liver shunt, seizures, bladder stones, and now this surgery. Although it’s hard to see such a sweet little guy with such a big ouchie, we know that this surgery was life-saving for him. We want to share his journey with you all since you are the ones who provided the funds to repair his liver shunt and give him a fighting chance!! Thank you, thank you - a million times, thank you! ❤️

We got gorgeous Miss Zoey settled into her foster home today. No more backyard living for this girl! Her foster family had the sweetest sign welcoming her into their home. 😍 Zoey went from being a nakey baby who came with NOTHING, not even a harness and leash, to having her very own stuff thanks to your donations from our Amazon Wishlist. We gave her two soft blankies, some Nylabones, a stuffie, two bowls, a lick mat, a harness, a leash, a bag of treats, and will ship anything else the foster home needs as she gets settled in. Thanks a million to generous donors for shopping our wishlist and blessing these babies who have nothing to their name. 🙏🏼❤️ We also heard a rumor that some of her foster family’s extended family was planning to come meet her and bring her GIFTS🎉🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼, so she will likely be one spoiled girl, as she should be. Thank you to Stacia, Eric, and Corinne for fostering this sweet baby for us. 🥰

Guess who’s home?! Our bestest boy, Pickles!! 🥒 His foster dad said he has a long rib-to-groin incision. He reported that the vet was pleased and Pickles’ prognosis was good due to early surgery. Pickles will get his stitches out in 2 weeks. In the meantime, he has a cone and will be confined to a smaller space to prevent him from jumping. We know that he must be thrilled to be home and back with the people he loves the most. Praying for a speedy and painless recovery for him. 🙏🏼❤️ Thank you to his foster family for taking him to and from surgery, and for the amazing after-care we know they will provide. 🥰

Last night we were updating Petunia’s first momma on her upcoming doctor’s appointment (stay tuned for that update), when she mentioned that she was concerned about Petunia’s mom (Zoey, fawn, age 1.5), dad (Romeo, brindle, age 2), and brother (Casper, white, age 10 months) who lived next door to her. She said they were kept outside and only had a little dog house to keep them warm. 😢 Naturally, with the winter storm coming we knew something had to be done quickly. We had one confirmed foster, and reached out to our friends at . Working in collaboration with them we were able to head out in the middle of the night and go save these babies before the snow hit!! ❄️ The pugs are safe and cozy warm inside. Thank you to Crystal for seeing something and saying something. ❤️ If it weren’t for her they would be outdoors in the elements right now. Thank you to for being amazing rescue partners. To everyone, if you see a pug in need, say something no matter the time of day. Rescues will work together and jump through any hoops to get them to safety. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Cookie’s family circumstances were changing such that they were unable to provide her the care they felt she deserved. They reached out to us, and we were happy to go pick up this gorgeous merle girl and get her settled into her foster home. She was not one bit shy and made herself right at home. We honestly won’t be surprised if she starts charging her foster family rent, as it was clear within minutes that she’s the boss of the house. 😜 At 1.5 years old, she still has plenty of puppy energy to keep her foster pawrents on their toes 🤭 A huge thank you to Liz and Jimmy for fostering her! Welcome to the GPPR family, little Cookie!!

We wanted to share a quick update that Pickles’ liver shunt surgery was a success. 🙏🏼 He also had stones removed from his bladder while in surgery. These can be common with liver shunt pugs, but they have sent them off for testing to confirm they are associated with the liver shunt and not another form of stones. This pic is one his foster dad sent over Christmas. He looks so sweet and innocent here and it’s one of our faves. 🤗 We love you, Pickles, and wish you a wonderful recovery ❤️

How adorable is Petunia enjoying a little #nomnomnom from her first snowfall?! 😍❄️ We have wonderful news that we got an earlier date with UGA! 🎉 She has her surgical consult on Tuesday, where she will get a cat scan and they will verify internal medicine’s opinion that she is a candidate for surgery. If they agree, she’ll stay there and have surgery on Wednesday 1/15. 🤞🏼We’ll keep you posted! Thanks to her foster pawrents for this adorable video ❤️

Congratulations to Roxanne of @the_puggamuggas_crew for winning our end of year donation drawing!! Please message us your shipping information and what size hoodie you prefer. Thanks so much to everyone who donated and helped us finish 2024 strong ❤️

Become a foster home in 2025; you never know, you might end up with a foster pug who helps clean your house! 😜 Thanks to Petunia’s foster family for sharing this adorable video of her playing with the Roomba. She looks so bright and healthy and it’s wonderful to not see her little ribs protruding. We believe 2025 has great things in store for her!! ❤️

Pickles say, “Gimme dat cookie!” Thank you to his Rescue Ranch Secret Santa 🎅🏼 for the nice surprise of fruit-based treats that are better for his liver shunt condition. Super thoughtful and generous gift 🥰

Pickles says, “Burger bed?! Don’t mind it I do!” 🍔Thank you to his Rescue Ranch Secret Santa for spoiling him rotten this Christmas!!

Tis the season for giving, and our Rescue Ranch Secret Santas have been more than generous, as Pickles got more presents, too. Is there ANYTHING better than a pug named Pickles getting a stuffed pickle from their Rescue Ranch Secret Santa?! Pickles has had a rough year with seizures and a liver shunt diagnosis (cue the pickle jokes) so it is SWEET and a big DILL to see him zipping around with his pickle, happy as can be!!! He also received the coolest burger bed, video coming soon.
