Hello everyone. It's me Onyx and I want to thank those who donated, shared our posts and posted photos for our five-dollar Friday. I am not sure if I reached my goal as Mama Gail was busy with trick or treaters the last two nights. I do think we raised less without our Instagram Account. Please share on your Instagram what happened so folks will know to go to our page. I'm leaving the fundraiser open as we have 12 pugs to vet. Eight from Friday and four more are coming Wed to the vet, and
Eve who came in this past week with heartworms. If you forgot to donate or want to give a little more, we are grateful. Our supporters are the best!

UPDATE: HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I hope it is happy for me and the pugs of Homeward Bound. I tried to raise funds for the rescue that took me in at the age of 15, but I haven't done very well. I just lost my second mom and wanted to help out. Maybe I'm just too old to fundraise and I know I'm not a pug but I'm an honorary pug and my brother is a pug. Doesn't that count? Please help out if you can. Homeward Bound took in 8 pugs yesterday all no more than 18 months old and needing the works and three more that need the same. Plus, we got in another yesterday, and she is HW+ It will take lots of $$ to get them all ready for their forever home. Any help you can give is appreciated. No one even mention how cute I am as Yoda. Please keep the comments and photos coming. We all love them!

Happy Halloween eve. My name is Possum, currently Yoda and I am here to help the pugs of Homeward Bound raise some serious cash. You see, my mom passed away recently, and she was the admin of the Homeward Bound Instagram account. So right now, Homeward Bound can't share our posts. My first mom passed away and now my second mom is gone. Mama Gail and my mom had been friends for 20 years and she jumped right in to give me a place to land. I am 15 years old and Homeward Bound will be my forever home now. Did you know that Homeward Bound took in 8 young pugs today and six just a couple of weeks ago? Whew that is a lot of pugs and some Mega expenses. So please help if you can. With no way to post on Instagram it is harder than ever to raise the funds to help all the pugs.

Please continue to share and don't forget to comment so our posts are seen by more folks. We are all loving the photos so keep them coming.

UPDATE: If you are interested in fostering or adopting, please complete the appropriate application on our website at www.homewardboundpugs.com You must reside in Oklahoma to foster. Yesterday a very nice man called and said that his great Grandma can no longer care for her pugs She was a breeder at one time and there are eight pugs needing foster homes. Nine months and 18 months of age. Two are fixed, six are not but they will be next week. So, I am not asking I am begging for help. If Homeward Bound is to continue helping pugs in need, we need foster homes in the state of Oklahoma. Must be in Oklahoma so they can be seen by our vet and go to events to help them find new homes. Please help if you can and toss some bucks to our five-dollar Friday if possible as you can imagine the expense of eight more on top of what we recently took in. Please help us if only for a couple of weeks.

UPDATE: OH MY GOODNESS! SOME DONATIONS HAVE COME IN. I know I am still a long way from my goal today, but several folks have stepped up and donated and posted comments and photos, Let's keep this going and please share and share again on your Instagram account. Without it we may be in trouble, but I have faith in our supporters to once again come through for us. It would be so great if more previous adopters donated to show their support. My sissy Queenie wants to help as well. I have posted her photo. Isn't she cute? Speaking of photos, please keep them coming as we all enjoy them so much!!

Oh my goodness, I overslept! It's our Halloween five-dollar Friday and I have my paws cut out for me! It's me Onyx and I am hoping to raise enough today to pay the vet bills of pugs that have come in recently. As many of you know, we have no way to get into our Instagram account right now. Any help you can give by sharing my posts can really help us. Many folks don't check our posts except on Instagram so I am really worried, but our supporters are great and I'm hoping they will once again rise to the occasion. Please comment on our posts and we love photos, especially if they have something to do with Halloween. Comments help keep our posts seen and dust off those costumes. We would love to see some costumed pugs but any photo is welcome.
Please help if you can.
Dust off those costumes and let's have some fun and raise some bucks for the pugs of Homeward Bound.
As always, we only ask for five bucks, but if you can and wish to do so, you can donate more. Our PayPal is [email protected] and our Venmo is gail-tucker-11
Let's have a great fundraiser today!

Hi folks. It's Onyx again reminding you that tomorrow is our Halloween five-dollar Friday and we can sure use some help with funds right now. My sister and brother and I were living in bad conditions and Homeward Bound rescued us. We are all under two years old and were really scared at first, but now we have good food, warm beds and toys to play with. Next Wednesday we will all get our vet work done and be ready to find our forever homes. Homeward Bound also rescued three others recently and one has heartworms. I sure hope my siblings and I don't have heartworms as the treatment is painful and costly. We also have a sweet pug waiting to come into rescue if Mama Gail can find someone willing to foster her.
We don't have our Instagram account right now as the person who ran it passed away unexpectedly and Mama Gail doesn't have whatever it takes to get in. So right now, it will be much harder to raise $$ as many of our supporters are on Instagram and not always on FB. Please save your dollars and help if you can. I am pretty nervous so might call on my fellow rescue friends for help. Please share my posts and share on your Instagram a pages and let folks know what happened.
Dust off those costumes and let's have some fun and raise some bucks for the pugs of Homeward Bound.
As always, we only ask for five bucks, but if you can and wish to do so, you can donate more. Our PayPal is [email protected] and our Venmo is gail-tucker-11
See you tomorrow!

Hi everybody. My name is Onyx and I came into rescue with my sister and brother right after Mama Gail left for her son's wedding. I am pretty shy still but was asked to be the spokesperson for this Friday's annual Halloween five-dollar Friday. What an honor! But I will need lots of help because Homeward Bound doesn't have access to our Instagram account right now. Explanation will come later today. This might really hurt our ability to raise as much $$ as usual so if you are on Instagram please share our dilemma. We have taken in seven pugs in the last couple of weeks and they all need the works, including my sister and brother and me. We also just found out that another is heartworm positive and treatment costs a lot. We haven't had a five-dollar Friday since Our surprise one to honor Mama Gail's 80th birthday last month. Please save your dollars and share our posts. As you know, comments help keep our posts seen.

Dust off those costumes and let's have some fun and raise some bucks for the pugs of Homeward Bound.
I will tell you more about myself tomorrow and remind you all again. As always, we only ask for five bucks, but if you wish to do so, you can donate more. Our PayPal is [email protected] and our Venmo is gail-tucker-11 Thank you! See

OVERDUE THANKS: I'm finally back in town and want to thank so many of you for your birthday wishes, cards, w**e, and sweet gifts. I was blown away by your kindness and generosity. I have read every comment and card and am so thankful and grateful for each and every one that took time out of their busy day to help make my birthday extra special. I truly am blessed.

Part 2: I also want to thank those of you that were able to step up and take in a pug or two for almost three weeks so I could attend my son's wedding in Eureka Springs and go to New England after I returned from the wedding. The wedding was spectacular and I had the best time. Both my sons were there, and I couldn't have been more proud and happy.

New England was beautiful and I not only got to see the beautiful fall colors but also was able to visit with dear friends and see all the pugs that were adopted from the Maine transport in May.
I couldn't have enjoyed those trips without help and I can't thank you enough for sharing and temp fostering.
I will post photos and more details later but need to get back to work finding places for the six pugs that came in right before or while I was gone and the four that need to come in now.
Thanks again for everything!

UPDATE: we have transport! Thank u all so much for sharing and wanting to help two sweet babies who just lost their mom.

Urgent transport needed! A dear friend and supporter of Homeward Bound for over 20 years passed away unexpectedly on Monday, leaving behind her precious pug Marty(adopted from us) and a sweet little 15 year old named Possum. I am trying to get the fur babies from Dallas to me in Norman Saturday if possible so my friend's daughter can handle other things. Would anyone be able to do this for her? I am still in New England but will be home Saturday. Sunday is an option, if no one can help Saturday. We are happy to pay for gas. Post here , my messenger page or call or text 405 706 1492 if u can help out.

Happy Saturday! We are so sorry that we disappeared yesterday. Mama Gail went to Auntie Melissa's to help with her party and took her computer! But we are back and ready to raise more dollars for the pugs and help celebrate a big birthday on Monday when we will tell her how much we raised. So keep those donations coming. This will be the best present ever!!
