Help Us Help Carina
We just rescued Carina from the Carson shelter. As you can see by these pictures she is in deplorable condition. We named her Carina, meaning, Little Love or beloved one, as she is now truly loved by her Pugs ‘N Pals family. Carina was listed as a 5 yr. old Pug, she ended up being only 6 months. How can a human being allow this to happen is beyond our comprehension. These pictures don’t truly show the horrible condition she is in. She almost looks like a burn victim. She has severe Demodex mange. Her body is covered with bloody sores that are cracking and pus oozing out of every part of her body. The smell emanating from her is truly nauseating. He left eye has an ulcer and the infection from the mange got in there, so there is a possibility that she will lose that eye, probably limited sight in the other eye, as well as possible paralysis of the left side of her face. She is anemic, septic and so far we took out about 30 ticks and she is loaded with fleas. No dog should endure this pain at any age for any reason, but to have a defenseless 6 month old only know pain and neglect in her short life is something we can’t grasp and we suffer with her.
She is now in critical condition, and fighting for her life. We are doing everything humanly possible to pull her through. She is on a lot of meds, daily medicated baths, pain medicine as she can hardly move her body due to the crust, pus and skin just breaking at every move. Through it all she tries to wag her tail and give us many kisses of thanks.
She needs around the clock care, with eye meds every 2 hours, special baths to help her skin, and we work around the clock to slowly remove the crust imbedded in her skin, very painful to her. We will do what it takes to help her, but we need your help. Her care will be very costly. We survive by donations only and are very limited in funds. PLEASE give a donation to the Carina Fund, we appreciate any amount. We ask you to pass this on to any one you know that can help us. Your donation is tax deductible as Pugs ‘N Pals is a non profit organization. You can send a check made out to Pugs ‘N Pals, c/o Carina’s Fund to P.O. Box 9343, Newport Beach, CA 92658 or via pay pal at www.pugdogrescue.com

In loving Memory of our beloved friend and volunteer
Olive Maxwell
April 20, 1922 - June 3, 2009
Olive Maxwell was a remarkable person. Full of life, kindness, eager to help any person or any dog.
We lost our beloved friend and we will miss her very much. She has left a big void in our hearts and in our organization.
Olive was a very optimistic person and only saw the good in people. She loved her Pugs and also adored her foster babies. She took such good care of them and did everything for them. She worked very hard for our organization and was well known in Orange County for her work with Pugs ‘N Pals and for always wearing her Pug hat. Her zest for life was contagious and we all strived to have as big of a heart and kindness as she had and always that smile, what a smile, it brought joy and happiness to us and we couldn’t help but smile with her.
Our hearts go out to her family and friends. You left a big void in our life and heart Olive. We will miss you every day and we will honor your life and endless work for the dogs.
I know you are now taking care of all of our little babies that went to the bridge they now have their Angel rescuer loving them and caring for them.
To celebrate her life and devotion to Pugs ‘N Pals and all of the Pugs she loved, Olive requested donations to Pugs ‘N Pals in her name.
