Little Missy - Blind and Fearless

Little Missy

1 year old

Blind and Fearless

This my fellow Pug Lovers is Missy. She is all of a year old and has been dealt a real hard blow in life. When Missy was brought in to rescue recently, she had a severe eye injury that required her eye to be removed.

Missy had not yet gotten her sutures out when she injured her other eye. As feared, she lost that eye as well. Missy is only a year old and now totally blind with no eyes at all but this has not dampened her Pug spirit.

Missy is a very happy little girl and her little donut tail waggles so hard, we fear she is going to lift off the ground soon. Dallas pug rescue has placed a lot of blind Pugs over the years into loving homes, and, as long as you are not a furniture mover, she will do fine.

The family that is fostering Missy owns a blind Pug that they have had since 1998, and you cannot tell she is blind. Blind Pugs do great if their humans can learn how to work with them. Please consider giving this Little Missy the home she deserves. You can find an application for her on our web site at http://www.dfwpugs.com/.

Expect a Miracle...Pookie Before and After

Pookie After

Pookie Before

From Houston Volunteer Mary Fran:

This is our little Pookie before and after. They were going to put her to sleep after they brought us two of their other females that appeared healthy. We had her starting Christmas Eve (well, that's when Garry brought her to me) and needless to say, after losing Miss Frito we felt this was our new little angel that will hopefully be with us longer.
