Today is our favorite day... Forever Home Friday! We are delighted to feature our esteemed senior, Ginger, who has found her forever home. Previously turned over to PPR by a local breeder, Ginger underwent a comprehensive makeover, including spaying, vaccination, and dental care. She has now been welcomed into an amazing family, where she has quickly become the center of attention, particularly among the children. As her mother works from home, Ginger will receive abundant love and care. Please join us in celebrating Ginger's joyous transition to her forever home. Congratulations, Ginger!

Today, we are excited to share a "Happy Tail" update! 🐾

Hootie came to us from a shelter and tested heartworm positive. The rescue took care of all her vetting needs, and it wasn't long before she found her forever home—and what an incredible forever home it is!

Here are some pictures from her family vacation at the North Carolina coast. Look at that happy smile! This sweet little lady has truly found her perfect forever family, and we couldn't be happier for her.

Congratulations, Hootie! ❤️ 🎉

Walter Update: A Positive Diagnosis and a Forever Home! 🐾💕

We are pleased to announce that the pathology results for Walter have been finalized. The tumor that was removed was deemed unusual, prompting consultation among three pathologists at the laboratory. Ultimately, the diagnosis confirmed our veterinarian's initial assessment: cancer. However, the encouraging news is that the surgical margins were clear, indicating that the tumor was successfully removed in its entirety. We are thrilled with this outcome.

Furthermore, we are delighted to share a significant Forever Family Friday announcement: Walter's foster parents have decided to make him a permanent member of their family! As an only dog, Walter, now affectionately known as Hal, is enjoying a life of indulgence and luxury. He even accompanies his new owners to work. As you can see from the before and after photos, Hal is beaming with joy, and we couldn't be happier for him.

Please join us in congratulating Hal on his new forever home! 🎉

We are actively seeking qualified foster families in the Raleigh-Durham area to support our rescue initiatives. Currently, we have a backlog of dogs in need of temporary care, and we rely on foster families to provide a safe and nurturing environment. Through our partnership with local veterinarians in Raleigh-Durham, we are able to provide necessary medical attention, and we also welcome foster applications from surrounding areas. If you are interested in opening your home to a pug in need, please submit your foster application through our website today.

This sweet soul is Walter. He was a stray dog that we pulled from the shelter. He came in with a large tumor on his re**al area, not neutered and what few teeth he had left were loose. PPR's vet immediately ran bloodwork and found he was in good shape there so he stayed after hours and removed the tumor, neutered, and pulled what teeth he had left. The kicker is that he feels that the tumor is cancerous :( It has been sent off for pathology to confirm. Based on those results we will determine whether he will be a hospice foster or a regular foster. Even if hospice he can still be adopted! More information to come soon on this sweet soul!
