Volunteer Dog Walkers needed daily at 10:00 am for Walk N Wag (no Weds). Walking the sanctuary pups makes a HUGE difference in their happiness, calmness, helps with leash skills and socialization. Not to mention all the love you receive in return and the health benefits! My doc is always saying to get in more exercise. This is a great motivator! Not only do you get healthy but think of all the great karma your earning at the same time. Your time and love is a precious gift to these pups!

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.
