Ming Fei and Baby Scooter

Meet Mama Peke, Ming Fei, and her puppy, Baby Scooter.  They are now safe in rescue with Houston Pekingese Rescue. 

If not for a very caring person, this situation could have had a horrible ending. We had a call from a lady in Dallas, TX. She had attended a puppy mill auction in OK to rescue a breeder dog to have for personal pet. She said the puppy mill dogs were all being kept outside in covered wire cages with no heat and the temperature that day was 28 degrees. As she was leaving, she heard the auctioneer trying to get a bid on a seven year old female Peke and her one, ten day old puppy. She tried to go into the weaning shed to see them, but the overpowering smell of ammonia stopped her.

When the auctioneer did not receive any bids, he asked for a bid of only $50.00. He told the audience that they could spend the $50.00 on the Mama Peke, let her wean the pup, then discard her and make money on the pup. The lady was horrified to hear this. She bid the $50.00 and took them home with her. She then called us and asked if we would take them. We said yes, and she brought them to us.

We took them to our vet immediately for exams and treatment. The Mama Peke had burned eyes from the ammonia, a high white blood cell count which indicated infection, a uterine infection, and teeth that were in terrible condition. She was given a dental and had to have 8 teeth removed. She was put on Amoxicillin, Clintabs, Neobacimyx Ophth Ointment and Tacrolimos drops. The puppy was put on liquid Amoxicillin. Both had to be dewormed because of hookworms. The expense for this has already reached $325.00.

Please help us to be able to meet these extra expenses for this most deserving Mom and pup.

Valentino

Valentino's medical expenses have
been met by our wonderful donors!

My name is Valentino and I'm 12 months old. Peke Rescue wondered how a young boy like me could have ended up in this shape! Due to my serious skin infection, I am going to have to stay at the vet's to have it treated. The estimate at this time for my treatment, boarding bill and medicines is $350.00. Please help me! 

Update March 31, 2008:  Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know that I feel like a new doggie now! The vet has gotten my skin condition under control and my hair is growing back in. I'm turning back into the handsome little pup I was meant to be. I'll be ready to be adopted around the middle of April. So you can start sending those applications in now!  Click here for the adoption application.
