Sponsor a Dog in Need:  BABY GIRL

The call came in 2011 … a retired woman had a beautiful young Pekingese named Baby Girl who suffered from daily seizures. “Baby” was less than 2 years old, and her future was uncertain due to the woman’s limited financial resources; she could not afford the medical care that Baby required.

CPPR agreed to take Baby into our foster program and get her the help she needed. While the daily medications prescribed by the Rescue’s vet helped Baby somewhat, she continued to have seizures 2-3 times a week, many of which lasted an hour or more. As a result, Baby was referred to a veterinary neurologist who performed extensive blood work, and a new regimen of daily medications was prescribed.

Today, Baby is an active, playful 4-year-old whose favorite thing to do is drop a tennis ball at the top of the stairs, watch it bounce all the way down, and then chase after it … once retrieved, she starts the whole game all over again! While she still continues to have seizures once or twice a month, they are no longer severe; the new medication regimen has done wonders for her.

Each May, Baby returns to the neurologist for her annual blood workup to assure that she’s on the right medications and dosage. These tests cost $750 annually in addition to her seizure medications which amount to $100 per month; all are paid by the Rescue from The Machika Fund, which was established to provide medical care for dogs in need like Baby Girl.

We are seeking donations and/or monthly sponsors to help with Baby Girl’s ongoing medical care. If you are able, please consider making a donation through the PayPal link at the top of this page, or send a check to Colorado Peke & Pom Rescue, Inc., PO Box 242, Morrison, CO 80465; please note on your check or your PayPal payment that your donation is for Baby Girl. CPPR is a Colorado 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and your donation is tax-deductible as provided by law. 

Thanks to support and donations from people like you, CPPR is making a BIG difference … one little dog at a time!    Donate »

The Machika Fund

Created by the Rescue to help provide necessary—but often costly—medical care for our Special Need dogs, The Machika Fund aids injured animals needing immediate surgery as well as those requiring ongoing treatments which will allow them to live normal and fulfilled lives. The name of the Fund was inspired by a very special precious personality who has touched—and continues to touch—so many hearts and lives. A female Pekingese, Machika came to us when her owner died; she was still wearing a special tag that said "Therapy Dog."  More »

Colorado Peke and Pom Rescue, Inc. has created a network of volunteers in all regions of Colorado to help transport and foster its Precious Personalities (adoptable dogs) until they are placed into forever homes. Our Precious Personalities come from local shelters, private homes, vet offices and as strays. Our goal is to be able to take in all of these precious dogs and find them the homes they deserve. Without volunteers, we will not be able to achieve that goal.  More »

The Joys of Fostering
by Myra Hill

Is gratitude a doggy trait? No one can ever convince me that it isn't ... I swear that I have seen it and felt it. There's no feeling in the world quite like the joy you feel in witnessing the transformation of a rescued dog under your care. It is truly miraculous. Granted, taking home a dog with little or no history takes a certain amount of courage, along with an open heart. But I've found great joy in watching lost, unwanted, sick, and/or aging dogs grow more and more comfortable, confident and affectionate ... often learning for the first time what being a dog is all about.
