Please help Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue (MAPR)!

So, mom got this email from MAPR this morning and wanted to post it here on my blog, since I'm a pug and all. Neither one of us like to see fellow puggies not getting the help they need. MAPR is a GREAT rescue organization, so if you can spare a little bit of money to help with vet costs, that'd be great. I know mom said I'd have to lay off the treats for a bit... I can do that if it will help these pugs.

Here's the link and some information:

Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue has recently been hit very hard with surrenders and shelter pulls. We have over 65 dogs in foster care including several who are in very poor shape. Since August 15, MAPR has taken in the following special needs medical cases and we need your help! For those who have never participated in a Fundable fund drive before, if we don't raise our entire goal of $6,051 by 9/27, all pledges will be refunded and MAPR won't receieve anything. So, please help us meet our goal!


Kyle (see image) was found as a stray and ended up in a shelter in TN, where MAPR found him. He has almost no fur on his body and has a horrible skin infection with open wounds, an ear infection, eye problems, and a mouth full of rotten and infected teeth. He needs at least two surgeries- a compete dental overhaul with multiple extractions and sugery on at least one of his eyes. He will need many weeks of care but all of his current issues are correctable and with plenty of TLC, Kyle will be a new man again soon. Even with some generous discounts from our partner vet, we expect his vet bills to be at least $2,000 by the time he gets all the care he needs.
