On November 10, 2007 Pug Rescue of Florida will be holding their annual fundraising event Pugsgiving. Admission to the pug packed get together is free and there will be plenty of pug games and raffles. Pugsgiving is Pug Rescue of Florida’s main fundraising event of the year and all of the proceeds of the events will benefit the pugs!
Earlier this week, Compassionate Pug Rescue took to the airwaves of South Florida to help raise awareness of pug rescue and to raise some much needed funds for their latest rescue Angel.
Animal Services contacted Compassionate Pug Rescue to let them know that they had just received a pug that had been hit by a car. Because of the severity of the young pug’s injuries, Animal Services would be forced to put down the pug. CPR swooped in and took the young pug from Animal Control and set off to get her the care that she needed for her injuries.
X-Rays revealed that Angel had an upper hip fracture, a fractured pelvic bone, and a left femur fractured in three different areas. It was determined that precious Angel would need two surgeries because the surgeon thought trying to fix everything at once was more than the sweet little girl could probably endure.
Angel’s first surgery was on August 3, 2007 and her second surgery was on August 6, 2007. Angel has a lot of physical therapy to undergo in the upcoming months, but the Dr.‘s prognosis for the future is very bright for sweet Angel.
As you can only imagine, the cost of Angel’s surgeries is much more than a small rescue organization can support. Now more than ever, CPR needs the support of Pug Lovers everywhere! A donation of any size goes a long way in helping to pay for Angel’s medical costs.
Thanks to CPR, Angel now has a whole life of pug living to do.
You can make a donation to the Compassionate Pug Rescue Angel Fund from Compassionate Pug Rescue’s Website. Donations can be made via PayPal or checks may be mailed directly to Compassionate Pug Rescue.

Ahhh, the life of a pug. Here is an awesome, time-lapse video of two pugs catching up on their sleep. The stars of the video are Bijou & Moe and the video was captured from a web cam. You’ll see in the video that the pugs don’t want to show favoritism and they switch from bed to bed and Bijou doesn’t like to sleep alone so she makes sure she is always snuggled up to Moe.
