Gertie’s Safe Place for Pugs

09/03/2026

Daisy is the mother to the chugs. I have been caring for the last few weeks. She’s finally able to be the puppy that she is supposed to be! But be warned she is a professional escape artist!

I don’t know if you all are aware. I also have a Instagram and TikTok page!

6 o’clock this morning I had gotten all the babies loaded into the car. We were headed out to meet Smokey at the airport.

Four more precious souls on their way to Dallas this morning with Smokey the pilot! We are so blessed to have him a part Of Gertie’s village! I’m sorry we didn’t get more photos. There was a real sense of urgency for him to get in the air so he would miss some storms.  I promise next time I’ll get more photos 🙂 have a safe flight Smokey!

Up super early. Was supposed to be flying five dogs up to Dallas this morning, but unfortunately it’s going to be four. I’m tired. So much been going on the last few weeks, nonstop.  Thank you all for hanging in here with me!  I couldn’t do this without Gertie’s village!

This is my sweet Rebel who I was trying so desperately to nurse through the distemper. It warmed my heart to see him playing with the precious duckies. I sure wish he was still here with us. It’s hard to believe that he’s been gone over a year already along with my other boys Jack and Pongo. I still think of them all the time. I wish I could’ve saved them.

Luna is searching for her forever home up in Dallas, Texas! From being abandoned alone wandering the streets of Juarez, she made her way into the US through Gertie’s Place and now is heading up to Dallas!

My dear friends at The Pug Ranch NM have had a really sad and stressful day. My heart is hurting for their losses. Maybe stop by their page and share a few soft words to comfort them.

💙 Meet Little Blue! 💙

This handsome little guy is about 10 months old and has already had quite the adventure! Rescued from the streets of Mexico, Blue is now living the good life in El Paso while he waits for his next big adventure. 🐾

Next week, Blue is packing his tiny suitcase and heading to Dallas, where his forever family will be found! And because apparently one adorable Pug isn’t enough… his sister Pinky is coming along too! 💕🐶

The dynamic duo will be heading to DFW Pug Rescue courtesy of our AMAZING friend Smokey the pilot! ✈️🐾

So, Dallas… get ready. Two ridiculously cute little Pugs are coming your way, and they are accepting applications for their forever families! 💙💗
