Mini Muffin

Mini Muffin is 5 years old and had a litter of puppies sometime in the past. She came into rescue on 6/7 and was breathing badly. She went to the vet today with her counter-part Harley Boo Bear for a check-up and shots. The vet suspected she had a very bad elongated soft palette and wanted to keep her to check her out more thoroughly. Our vet called to say, yes her soft palette was in need of surgery.

The vet performed the surgery, which removes excess skin in her throat – she had so much extra skin, he had to go in again and remove more, as the first removal wasn’t enough. For the next few days she will be boarded in the surgical side of the vet’s office, so they can monitor her condition 24 hours a day. If she can make it thru the next few days, she should be out of the woods and can come to a sedate foster home for about a 2 week recovery period. After healing from her surgery and losing a few pounds, she will be breathing like she has never taken a breath before.

She is a happy little girl and we suspect she will be a ray of sunshine in her new home. She also likes hanging out on the couch and sleeping on the people bed. She got along well with her overwhelming foster brothers and sisters. Can’t you see adding this sweet little girl to your family and showering her with love and attention?

Her surgery and boarding will likely be upwards of $1,000 and while the rescue does not have the money to pay for the surgery, we couldn’t let her go on the way she was. Could you find it in your heart to donate towards her surgery, so SNPR can continue to help all the pugs that find their way into rescue. I know we are all feeling the pinch of the economy and we don’t want to ever turn away a pug in need or not get him/her the medical attention they need. Please donate today! SNPR and all future rescues thank you for your continued support.
