Curly Quote of the Week


I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal.


There you go.

I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.

Curly Pugs of Summer - Update 8/26/10

Carly and Mugsy are Pugs #38 and #39 on our intake list since June 1st ALONE. 
Thank you to our loyal followers!  As we continue to say "yes" to Pugs who need us and stretch our resources we lean on your generous donations more than ever!


•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Late on Friday night Curly Tail received a frantic email from a woman who had just purchased two Pugs off of Craigslist.  As she put it, she and her family had been "taken on a very expensive ride."

They had replied to an ad stating that the owner of two Pugs had no place to live and needed to find a place for her two pugs immediately or else she was going to leave them behind. The well intentioned purchaser received very misleading photos of Mugsy and Carly.  The Craigslist seller and met her family with Carly and Mugsy in a parking lot.  It was explained to us that "once she (the seller) got our money, she jumped in her car and took off." 

The distraught email we received said this pair had to be moved immediately because the new owner could clearly see they were in desperate need for major medical care and this was not what she was expecting.  She was hoping to purchase 2 healthy pugs and was in for the shock of her life. 

This is a classic example of the dangers of purchasing pets from Craigslist!  Ads are misleading and you simply never know whom you are really dealing with!


In addition to Carly's "skin issues" (at the time thought to be mange), both dogs had "crust and green goo" coming out of their eyes and it was suspected that Carly recently had a litter of puppies.  Both were infested with fleas and their nails were so long they couldn't walk properly.

We were able to comply with the very difficult 24 hr deadline that was set.  We arranged for immediate intake, transport and secure foster care. We're happy to report that Mugsy and Carly have made it into Curly Care!  They are in bad shape but they are safe and treatment began for the various medical within 24 hrs of intake.  We have already spent almost $1700 in their care & we have not completed the surgeries yet.

Carly: 3 year old Carly was sadly in far worse shape than Mugsy.  We are pleased that she does not have mange however, what was described as "sensitive skin" is actually a very serious skin issue.  This is  the result of long time neglect & horrific living conditions.  Carly's skin is literally peeling off with infection.  She is covered in open sores & oozing wounds from infection.  She has elephant skin covering her ears, stomach and limbs.  Her whole body is swelled from inflammation and her ears & eyes are oozing with infection as well.

Curly Tail has already brought her to our Vet, and her condition was so poor th
at it would have been to dangerous to spay at that appointment.  After a skin scrape, blood work and other diagnostics, (on top of the basic vetting & vaccinations which she was overdue for), Carly was sent home home with antibiotics, medicated shampoos, and topical ointment to treat her skin and begin the healing process. 

Both dog still need to be altered & are not able to go in for surgery in their present condition. Mugsy too will need basic vetting including rabies and distemper vaccines as well as heart worm and fecal tests.  He also has several growths on his body which will need to be removed and biopsied.
