Jemima (# 395) is a
true KPR success story. Just look at her now!
This once frail little pug is now living the good life.
She is getting lots of love and attention in her foster
home and has made many new friends. Her foster mom and
Uncle Mike are spoiling her rotten, but sadly this isn’t
always how life was for Jemima.
A severely malnourished 9 lb Jemima wandered into a Good
Samaritan's yard during a snowstorm. Riddled with
intestinal worms, pneumonia, ear mites, infections in
both ears, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease it
isn’t any wonder that the vet gave such a grim
prognosis. The vet wasn’t sure she would make it, but
this little pug wasn’t giving up and neither was her
foster mom. Jemima was slowly nursed back to health and
thanks to this foster mom’s love and attention that
pitiful 9 lb pug is now a healthy 19 lbs..
Jemima is such a sweet pug. She is estimated to be
around 8 to 9 years old. She loves to lie at your feet
or beside you. She also loves her crate and will go in
it by herself to nap during the day. She sleeps well in
it at night, but prefers to sleep in the warm bed curled
up next to her foster mom. This is allowed whenever it
storms because Jemima is terrified of storms. She has
puggy panic attacks! She knows when a storm is coming
even before her foster mom does, but her foster mom
holds her, loves her, and reassures her that everything
will be okay.
She gets along great with kids, other dogs, and totally
ignores cats. She is housebroken, but every once in a
while she may have an “accident” and pee on a puppy pad.
She’s a good dog that is potty trained and knows better
than to pee on the floor, but she is on medicine that
makes her urinate more frequently so her foster mom does
leave out puppy pads when she isn’t home just in case.
Jemima will use the puppy pads rather than the floor if
she cannot hold it. Jemima takes Lasix daily for her
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), and this
daily treatment costs approximately .20 cents a pill or
between $5 & $10 a month (depending on the
vet)…basically the cost is about the same as the
Heartguard or Frontline that you give your pet each
month.
Jemima is a little treasure and whoever adopts her will
be very fortunate.
