Mr. Pickles

Hello Its Mr.Pickles / AKA Lance

Mr.Pickles is doing really great!

He is adored and I cant thank you enough for sending him my way. He (along with my girls) make me very happy.

Life can’t get much better than this!

I feel like a new Pug and live like a pug really should. I am enjoying life with my new family so very much. I feel better I look better and I am so happy. My new mom cuddles and kisses me all the time which I just love. I have 2 pug sisters who have included me in the group with no problem; they even let me curl up on the big pillow our mom puts on the floor. Even the big fat cat Willie is starting to accept that I’m here to stay.

Spirit

After a close call with the grim reaper, CPR pulled me from the pound despite my definitive non-puggish good looks.  Marcia and gang saw how lonely I was and gave me months of love and treatment for my kennel cough. A few months later, on a fateful night in November, my mom’s insomnia led her to petfinder in search of a new best friend.  In a small apartment, already home to two cats and with a busy career, she was unsure about adding to the family.  She told me that somewhere around 4am, my brown eyes peered back from her laptop and she knew we were meant for each other.  I came home just days later for a trial run as a foster but knew within minutes this would be my forever home.

Pearl

CPR rescued Pearl on her last day at animal services. After rescuing a pug there and seeing this beautiful face, we could not let her be put to sleep.

Animal services missed that Pearl had a completely dislocated femur and previously fractured hip.  Pearl required orthopedic surgery to give her the quality of life she so deserves.  Many thanks to her new wonderful forever family, Pam and David for nursing her back to heath and giving her the home of her dreams.

It’s been 4 weeks since Pearl’s surgery and she’s walking fine all all 4 legs, but, still hops on 3 legs when she’s in a hurry.. The muscle tone is improving on the leg that was operated on, too.  And maybe she’s put on another pound but looks really healthy.

Everyday that passes she seems more comfortable and trusting of us. She is also more interested in play and her toys, too. My husband said today “we’ve bonded”.  I’m so glad she’s healthy of our family. Thank You CPR for bringing us together.

Thank You,

Pam Moore

Luna

We adopted Luna, a two-year-old fawn pug, from CPR on November 14, 2007 as a playmate for our 1 1/2 year old, one-eyed rescue pug, Izzy.  We were warned that Luna is a challenge, but we could not have imagined that such a beautiful little girl could cause so much trouble.  We are still working on issues; we even hired a private trainer.  Despite the problems, when Luna is tired from a day of wreaking havoc and snuggles up with us, gives kisses and makes a cheesy face, we know she is here to stay.  Luna has joined us for two long vacations on our 56-acre farm in north Georgia.  At home in Florida, she gets frequent walks, trips to the dog park and car rides.  Not to mention her twice per day meals of premium dog food with fresh toppings of lean ground beef, turkey, chicken or steak.  Luna loves to snuggle, play and sleep with her sister Izzy every day.  And we still have hope that she will mellow with age.  We know that Luna has found her forever home, and we could not imagine our pack without her.
