"This is me, in the
e-collar they made me
wear for two weeks! I
HATED IT! (I think the
"e" in "e-collar" stands
for "evil"!!!) You can
see that my eye is red
here, but it is much
better now!" |

HOPE
Fill out our
Adoption Application
Hope
Hope came into rescue with
her 4 littermates when they were
3 months old. They had an
underdeveloped immune system and
Demodex mites and were very ill.
The other 4 have recovered for
the most part and have been
adopted.
LIKES:
Playing with anything and
everything
Biting anything and every thing
Snuggling when shes tired
Sleeping in bed
Loves car rides
DISLIKES:
Being alone
MEDICAL:
Hope has many medical issues
and is considered special needs
Had pneumonia, a grand mal
seizure and a severe eye ulcer
when she was turned in to APARN
Demodex which she had a hard
time fighting off
Past bacterial and yeast
infections of the skin
A second neurological event at
age 5 months. Possible reaction
to the mite killing medication
Severe eye ulcer in her right
eye at 6 months. Needed a
scleral graft to save her eye
and her vision. She will only
have peripheral vision in that
eye
Dry eye. Will be on medication
for the rest of her life.
A second bout of Demodex because
of prednisone used systemically
after the eye graft. Currently
under treatment
Possible hydrocephalus (water on
the brain) This may explain her
neurological events.
Very compromised immune system.
This may always be a problem.
Currently has been unable to
have a second round of puppy
shots until other problems are
resolved
Had puppy strangles a strep
type of infection
OTHER:
Starting to use the doggy
door. She is primarily paper
trained
Eats puppy food and takes an
immune boosting supplement twice
a day.
Fine with kids, cats, other dogs
Sort of leash trained
Rides nicely in a car
Very spoiled in her foster home.
She is a little princess.
Very bold, not afraid of much of
anything.
Hope will always need very close
observation. Many of her
problems went from bad to
horrible in a matter of a few
hours. She needs a commitment of
prompt vet care any time she
seems off in any way. She will
always be a special needs pug,
and her care will be more costly
than that of a healthy pug.
Hope's adoption fee is $300.
