Everyone's generous donations and support in Sophia's 1st fund raising effort will be directed to her MRI and the amputation of her tail.
We need to do an MRI to understand the true deformity in her tiny body and know how to prepare her against infection in the upcoming year and her future surgery. Her MRI will cost $1700.
We need to amputate her tail b/c she is 100% incontinent and her tail being tucked in her diaper is a dangerous source of bacteria and infection. Ultimately, all the doctors (she has seen 4 of them so far) say infection is her greatest danger and will eventually led to her early passing. She will always be in a diaper so in order to try and keep her infection free, we need to amputate her tail. Her amputation surgery will cost about $1500. Her xrays and vet bills have cost almost $700 already.

Sophia's Supporters....THANK YOU!!!!
We went to the vet again and she has grown from 2.6lbs to 3.1 lbs since she has been with us. She is growing and getting healthier by the day which will help her pull through her very dangerous surgery.
She has all of you to thank for her progress so far!!

Please help pug puppy Sophia, Please Donate for her Surgery
Please help Little Sophia!!!
Sophia needs surgery so she can live a life safe from infection, further paralysis and possibly death. Her surgery will cost thousands of dollars.
She has a bubble on her back where her spinal fluid has collected. It is the equivalent to a soft spot on a baby's head. If that bubble is ruptured or bursts, she will suffer excruciating pain, further paralysis and possibly be subjected to infections as deadly as meningitis....if she survives at all.
Please help her live the life she deserves to live - one that is safe, pain free and full of love!

Sophia Comes to Live With Us!
Sophia is an adorable apricot little pug puppy who is 8 weeks old. She was diagnosed with Spina Bifida.
Multiple vets suggested putting her down!! Her new vet says she is 75% perfect pug puppy but is suffering from paralysis in her hind legs. Otherwise she is a fiesty, happy, little puppy who needs a forever home.
She will need surgery in a few weeks....more details to follow. She will also need a cart in about 8 mos and needs to wear a little diaper.
