Blind pug robbed by diabetes struggles for surgery

Blind pug robbed by diabetes struggles for surgery

SACRAMENTO, CA -- A Sacramento pug rescue group is reaching out to animal lovers in hopes of providing a much needed surgery for one of their precious pugs.  

Eight year-old Mija (Mee-ha) is a playful pug who loves to snuggle. She was rescued by PugSavers, a Northern California pug rescue group, after her owner, who loved her dearly couldn't afford special care for her diabetes. Mija's foster family has been taking great care of her until she finds her forever home, but recently her condition has worsened causing blindness in both of her eyes. 

It has been recommended by a specialist that both of Mija's eyes be removed to help with her diabetes and alleviate what has now become a painful condition.

Socialization and your Dog

Socialization and your Dog

Socialization should involve as many people and situations as possible. Introduce your puppy to a wide variety of people, including men, women, children of all ages, people in wheelchairs, men with beards, and people wearing all kinds of clothing; sunglasses etc.   Before your puppy has gotten all of his vaccinations, you can begin to socialize him by inviting people to your home to meet him.

Did you know when the right time is to Socialize your dog?   As early as possible.   Dogs as young as 3-4 months old (once they have had all their shots of course) is a wonderful time to start socializing your dog. 

Great socialization will help your dog with the following:

  • Good Manners
  • Friendly with dogs and new people
  • Confidence
  • Moral
  • Resilience
  • Happiness
