Althea Pearl is an approximately 7.5-year-old owner surrender who has recently come into the care of Appalachian Pug Rescue. She is currently settling into foster care in Maryland, where we are getting to know her while we continue her medical evaluation.
Althea Pearl is described as sweet as pie and good with other dogs. She has a history that includes a previous attack by other dogs around the age of five and having been pregnant once in the past. At intake, a possible mass on her hind end was noted, and she is scheduled to be seen by the veterinarian to determine next steps. At this time, she is still decompressing and adjusting to rescue life.
What’s Next
Althea Pearl will remain on medical hold while we:
