We need your help for Sugar Plum! "She's blind, just like me! She's just not as lucky as I am", says Merlin!
Imagine living with a family for 10 years, in a cage, being used to breed puppies for resale, then being tossed out to a kill shelter just because you got sick? SUGAR doesn't deserve to end her life left behind at a kill shelter. She deserves much more!
SUGAR PLUM is curently located in Los Angeles, CA and has to come to her forever home here in Montreal, Canada. SUGAR PLUM will also require extensive veterinary care, including eye removal, repair of inguinal hernia and spaying.
Please use the link below to help us help Sugar Plum!!! She really needs our help.
July 29th - UPDATE Sugar Plum has had her eye treatment and a day later she already looks a million times better. She is now out of the veterinary clinic, waiting to board the plane this coming Wednesday evening, bound for her new home in the North.

Little Sugar plum is convelescing from her successful surgeries. She is weak because she recently had a litter of puppies as well. Her hernia has been repaired, she's been spayed and one eye has been removed. Out vet feels strongly that her other eye will remain stable and saw no need to remove it.
Little Sugar Plum is quite the fighter and now she can spend the rest of her days discovering a whole new world of wonders. Please check back often to read up on the adventures of all the Chowdren. We've changed her name to PEANUT .. because she's such a little Peanut!
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 17th - 2007
Look at that little Peanut go!!!! She's the happiest girl in the world.
Before and After Our little doll !
Update: October 2007 Peanut has evolved into a confident, well balanced, superb horsecoat Chinese shar-pei. She lives up to every iota of what this sporting breed can offer. Peanut's personality abounds with outstanding character and charisma !

July 26th, 2007 As of today we have covered the costs of all the incurred veterinary costs in California, (her gentomicin ocular shots, 5 days boarding at vet, her rabies, her crate, health certificate and the airline ticket). These costs are now covered.
All that remain is the actual eye removal, surgical repair of her hernia and her spaying.

My name is Hans and I am the owner of Lucy's Dog House, one of the advertisers on the right hand side of the page. I want to do what I can to help out Sugar Plum. Until all of the money is raised for her surgeries, anyone that shops in my store and types in "Sugar Plum" in the COMMENTS section, 40 percent of the purchase price will go to Sugar Plum. So if you need something for your dog and would like to contribute this is a good way to do both. Lets get this done.
Prayers dear, sweet Sugar Plum for a safe flight to Montreal! We'll be tracking you online tonight watching the arrival of flight AC776 Air Canada, LA to Montreal!!!!
See You Soon Sugar Plum
