My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

How adorable is little Chiclet?!? This brave girl is a true survivor with a spirit as big as her heart. Chiclet was found dragging herself around the streets, unable to use her hind legs, before being impounded at a local shelter. Her journey didn’t stop there—shortly after we picked her up, Chiclet had a major health scare and ended up in emergency care. She fought through a pyometra, severe dehydration, and a nasty kidney infection, and somehow, this tough cookie pulled through. Today, she carries a look that says, “I stared death in the face and won!!!”

At around 5 years old, Chiclet is a ray of sunshine. She’s sweet to everyone she meets and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Although she’s paralyzed in her hind legs, that doesn’t slow her down—she’s a pro at scooting around using her front legs, and she thrives when using her wheelchair. Chiclet’s zest for life is nothing short of inspiring!

Caring for Chiclet does come with a few special needs. Her bladder and bowels need to be expressed several times a day, but don’t worry—it quickly becomes second nature, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way if you’re new to it. Chiclet would thrive in a home where her adopter isn’t gone for long hours and ideally has experience with special needs dogs—or is ready and willing to learn.

In return, Chiclet will shower you with endless love, snuggles, and smiles. She has the kind of heart that can light up a room and the determination to make the best of every day. Chiclet’s journey may have started with challenges, but her future is full of hope. Are you ready to give this incredible little warrior the loving home she deserves? Please inquire today!

More about this rescue

Pug Nation Rescue of Los Angeles is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, care, and placement of abandoned, neglected, unwanted, displaced, and abused pugs. Our goal is to find every homeless pug a forever home; if we cannot do that, we pledge to provide a comfortable and loving place for sick or unwanted pugs to live out their lives. Our Board of five and numerous volunteers are passionate about Pug Rescue and live by our motto of “One Pug at a Time”. We feel that through our efforts we can change many of these forgotten Pug’s lives. In order to find our Pugs a home as soon as possible, we hold at least three adoption fairs a month and also organize a number of fundraising events, including the annual Pugtacular festival and Legendary Bingo at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood. These events and on-line fundraising have provided the money to help pay for vet treatments, medicine and loving care at our Pug Station. We rely on the generosity of our supporters through donations and participation in our fundraising activities. If you would like to make a donation, find out about the next event, become a volunteer, foster, or adopt your own rescue pug, you are in the right place! You can also follow us on Facebook and twitter, there is always something going on and new pugs needing your help.
