Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles

Meet Chit Chat, a five-year-old sweetheart accepting applications for a best friend and occasional chauffeur. 😂💕
Her hobbies include stroller cruises, chin scratches, and being included in whatever you’re doing. Going somewhere? She’s ready. Staying home? Even better. There will be cuddles.
Chit Chat was found as a stray with her back legs paralyzed. We don’t know everything she’s been through, but we do know this: she still loves people, gets along beautifully with other dogs, and has plenty of adventures ahead of her.
She gets around using her strong front legs, her wheelchair, and—as demonstrated here—a little VIP transportation. She doesn’t sit on the sidelines of life. She wants to be right in the middle of it. 💕
Chit Chat does need her bladder expressed a few times a day, but don’t let that scare you! It’s a manageable routine once you learn, and Pug Nation will make sure her adopter feels completely comfortable with her care before she goes home.
She doesn’t need someone home 24/7—just someone willing to learn her routine, work it into their day, and give this very deserving girl the life she’s ready to live.
You bring the commitment. She brings those ears. 🥹
Could you be Chit Chat’s person?

This bonded pair could not be more adorable. Jessy, the female is 10 and her brother, Bullseye is 11; despite enduring the unimaginable pain of being left at a shelter, these seniors are determined to still enjoy their lives. Their #1 passion? Squeaky toys. #2 food of course followed closely by affection and cushy beds. They are in good shape for their age and will give a person or family perfect companionship, lots of love and sweet moments. They are so perfect together, grooming each other, curling up real close and basically taking care of each other. They are happy to let other dogs into their world, so will fit in about anywhere. Hoping that someone will give Jessy and Bullseye the second chance they so deserve 🙏. Here is their bio and a link to an application: https://www.pugnationla.org/adoptable-pugs/jessy-bullseye-bonded-pair/

A shelter in Santa Maria asked us for help; little Thorin was struggling with bloody diarrhea and would not eat. How could we refuse this face? Poor guy is tiny to begin with but now extra skinny. After a vet visit and a brief try with antibiotics and everything we could think of to get him to eat, it was obvious he needed more care, so we brought him to our good friends rise.pet.health emergency. They are moving mountains to get Thorin strong enough for surgery tonight because an ultrasound revealed a bowel intussusception, which is an extremely serious condition which blocks passage of food and cuts off blood flow. So first off, we are asking for everyone to send your very best thoughts and strength for little Thorin because he sure needs them. If you can chip in for his care which includes a blood transfusion, surgery and a hospital stay, we would be most grateful. We have a lot of surgeries this month and really need the support.

Thank you in advance for your support. Every little bit will help 🙏🙏🙏
