Please Help Tiny Tim get the surgery he needs!
Tiny Tim came into our care on December 23, along with his brother and sister, after being rescued from deplorable backyard breeder conditions. From the beginning, we suspected Tiny Tim had an untreated injury—possibly a broken hind leg.
He was taken to Chisholm Trail Veterinary Clinic in New Braunfels, where we received heartbreaking news. Tiny Tim was born with a severe degenerative hip joint, a condition that has been present since birth. Based on his age, we estimate this dates back to around June 23, 2025.
Tiny Tim has never been able to bear weight on that leg. He has never known a day without pain.
The good news is that Tiny Tim’s future can be completely changed. A leg amputation will free him from lifelong pain and give him the chance to run, play, and be a happy, carefree pug for the very first time. Because he has never relied on this leg, he is expected to adapt quickly and thrive as a true tripod.
Tiny Tim’s surgery is the only thing standing between him and the full, joyful life he deserves.
Please consider donating today—every dollar brings Tiny Tim closer to a pain-free future.
Can you help make Tiny Tim’s dream come true? 🐾💙
Tiny Tim is currently with a Therapeutic Foster Home
Although he is not currently available, Please consider our

Hope's Journey
Our History
Trail’s End is a registered 501c3 animal welfare organization and a welcoming place for all kinds of critters in need. We work with local municipalities and groups to find homes for abandoned or neglected pets and help ease the overcrowding of our shelters. We are a foster based rescue so all our dogs are housed in private homes.
We provide love, shelter, food, and medical care including microchipping and spay neuter access for our fosters. Adoption of our animals requires an approved application and an adoption fee, which varies depending on the pet and funds the care of the animals in our organization. The stray and abandoned population here in central Texas is overwhelming, with every shelter bursting at the seams. Trails End Animal Rescue is no different. Pete and Kerrie try to do their part in providing shelter, food and medical care for as many animals as possible, but they never stop coming. Here you will find animals currently for adoption at our rescue. You can also donate to our 501c3 Nonprofit.
Our Accommodations
We have indoor and outdoor shelters for all the many animals who come our way. Sometime we even have to build them on the fly! We make sure every animal is safe, secure and get plenty of healthy exercise and fresh air. Many times, animals come to us emaciated, sick or injured. We make sure they all get nutritious (home made) food, vet care and vaccinations.
Donations
We are always in need of cages, kennels, leashes and collars, toys food and blankets. you can always email us if you have something to share with the animals!
