KPR rescues many Pugs, and the
majority of them are in need of medical care. Most of the Pugs
get better and go on to lead long, happy lives. Some however,
do not. These are the Pugs that KPR has taken in who have a
terminal illness. KPR is dedicated to making the last months,
weeks, or days of their lives comfortable, and letting these
Pugs know that someone loves them and cares about them. For
some Pugs, this is the first time in their lives they know
what the love of a family, a warm home and a full belly feels
like.
KPR will take in any needy Pug, regardless of health,
temperament or age. Please donate to help KPR continue to be
able to help ALL pugs that come to us. |

Jasmine's
Pals for Pugs!

Jasmine (# 462),
also known affectionately by her foster mom as “Mini
Moo” and “Mooey”, is a super sweet and super cute 16 lb.
female pug that is approximately 7-8 years old. Jasmine
was an owner surrender, who came to KPR after her owner
decided they had too many dogs.
Her first visit to the vet’s office revealed a laundry
list of medical needs/issues, including: numerous mast
cells tumors, early cataracts/PK, luxating patella in
her right back leg, and arthritis/compensation soreness
in her left back leg. Even though Jasmine has early
cataracts/PK, her foster mom reports that she can see
just fine. Due to Jasmine’s rear legs, it is important
that she be maintained at between 14-16 lbs in order to
alleviate any further strain on her already tender legs.
Jasmine will have a much-needed dental in the near
future and will also begin a treatment plan for her
tumors.
Jasmine is
good with sharing toys, likes walking on a leash and
loves to cuddle with her foster brother, but her most
favorite place to be is in your lap getting loads of
attention. Her foster mom summed Jasmine
up best by saying “She really is just the sweetest
little dog I have ever met.”

Cosmo (#223) is estimated to be approx. 14 years old
by the vet. He was rescued from a shelter in
Indiana. We think that Cosmo was a former breeder who
was dumped at the shelter when the breeder was done with
him. He suffered from heartworms and whipworms, but has
undergone treatment and is now worm free. Cosmo
likes to soak up all the love he can get. |

HOSPICE CARE!
Jazz (# 417) is a female pug who is about 10 years old. She is very loving!. She has a weak rear leg
and cannot do stairs or jump on furniture She weighs 20
pounds. Losing some weight will help
her in using her rear leg. She is completely house
broken and keeps right up with the younger pugs in the
foster home.
Shortly after arriving at her foster home, Jazz had an
episode where it appeared that she fainted. Jazz was
immediately rushed to the local emergency clinic for an
examination. Based upon the clinical signs and
information provided by the foster home, the emergency
clinic suspected that Jazz either had a seizure or a
stroke-like episode, which could possibly be caused by a
tumor. Chest x-rays revealed that Jazz also has a
slightly enlarged heart. Due to Jazz's age, the vet
advised against further treatment and/or testing as it
is unlikely she would survive. Based upon the
uncertainty regarding her health and the long-term
prognosis, she has been placed in Hospice, where she
will live out the rest of her days in love and comfort.
