Cleft Pup Brigade (Fred’s Friends 501c3) specializes in puppies with cleft lip/palate and neonatal special needs. We realized after being in rescue for a few years that there was a dire need for help with cleft puppies. Sadly, they are typically euthanized at birth since they cannot nurse. We are an experienced group of individuals that tube feed these newborns around the clock. We were the first organization on the west cost to specialize in these special animals.
