Stitch

Hello! My name is Stitch, you may remember me as Sissy / Sugar who was recently up for adoption. I’m told my name comes from a Disney movie called Lilo and Stitch, my new mom’s son says I look like Stitch! This terrific family includes a 3 year old Puggle named Pogo, 10 year old cat Geraldine and Zack the turtle. My adoptive mom and her son are making me feel right at home and have given me baths already and today I had my first swimming lesson, I did really good!!

Pogo has become my best friend and my new mom calls me her little shadow. I follow what she does (where she sniffs, where she pees, what she plays with) and both mom and son praise me for being such a good girl! Mom says I am 90% potty trained and a really good eater with great energy. I love to lay on my back on the boy’s lap and let him stroke my belly. It just turns me into a complete marshmallow!

CPR even got my new mom in touch with my brother’s mom, who I was separated from. He lives in the Keys but mom says we are going to take a trip down to visit him real soon. His mom and my mom have exchanged emails and photos, I can’t wait to see him again!

Thank you CPR for my new forever home!!

Petey

CPR rescued Petey from an animal control center, where he’d been automatically scheduled for euthanasia because he was injured.  CPR picked up Petey and arranged for necessary medical attention, including surgery to remove his badly ulcerated and neglected eye.  By the time my husband and I met Petey, he was a happy, healthy and affectionate little furball.  We immediately loved him, and are so grateful that CPR gave us the privilege of adopting him.

Despite his rough start in life, Petey is incredibly sweet and friendly.  He’s always ecstatic to greet us, even if we’ve only been out to get the mail.  He’s also hilarious–he snores like a buzz saw, grunts when he’s happy, and hops like a bunny to fetch a toy.  When he’s overwhelmed with puppy energy, he rockets around our apartment and skids across the kitchen floor.  Other times, when he’s feeling more relaxed, he buries most of his head in a blanket and uses his one eye to look around–it reminds us of a periscope in a cartoon.

Adopting Petey has so strongly reinforced my belief in animal rescue and adoption.  Rescued pets seem to know and appreciate what’s been done for them, and they reward you with a special level of loyalty and affection.  Compassionate Pug Rescue made it possible for us to adopt a wonderful pet and help save a life in the process.

Petey never seems to know that he’s missing an eye, and we’re rarely aware of it, either.  We are always aware, however, of how uniquely adorable he is and how lucky we are.

Olive

For about five months I scanned the web every single day in hopes of veiwing a pug I would immediately fall in love with. I had seen Mary (now Olive) a couple of times, but was unsure of how I felt about her.

Fortunately for Olive and I, the wonderful people at Compassionate Pug Rescue set up a fabulous event where people could come see the lovely pugs in person. I thought I saw all of them, and as I was on my way out a girl holding a tiny sleeping pug (Olives foster mommy, who happened to be named Nicole too) let me know that there was one more I hadn’t seen.

I walked over, she opened her foggy blue eyes for about 3 seconds and let out this powerful snort, at that moment I knew she was the pug for me. Olive and I are basically in love. She snores like a maniac, walks all over my face when I’m asleep, and isn’t in perfect health: just some of the reasons I love her as much as I do.

She loves to cuddle with me, and play with her toys, and for such a small pug this girl really loves to eat. I couldn’t be happier, and I would do anything for her! She’s really happy, and so appreciative. The best part of my day is when I come home to her going absolutely crazy for me. We were meant to be! The End.

Herbie and Angus

Angus and I thought it was time to let all of our friends at Compassionate Pugs know just how sweet life can be when a couple of Senior Pugs find their perfect forever home.  It’s like hitting the Lottery but the payoff is in love.  We had a couple of accidents in the house when we first arrived but we are getting used to the schedule and Eddy made sure we knew there would be no yelling or spankings here so we are really trying hard to be perfect Pugs for him and Lulu.

When Angus and I (Herbie) arrived at Lulu & Eddy’s house we thought this was just another stop on our long trip to our forever home, boy were we wrong.

It was love at first smooch.  As soon as we got the lay of the land we were given the run of the house, no gates, fences or closed doors.  We have a nifty drinking fountain that we share with Luvey the cat, but that’s OK we all get along just fine.  We have two Pug sized beds, one in the living room and one in the bedroom where we sleep at night (on Saturday mornings we sleep on the big bed with Mum and Dad and Luvey).  Did I mention a lot of toys that we are getting used to; we have not played in so long we forgot how much fun it was. Luvey and I are trying to play together but we have not figured out yet how too!

Last week all of us went to the vet for our checkup and we all were given a clean bill of health.  We are gaining our weight back and our bodies are filling out just fine and the vet was happy with our progress and our great attitude, yep a Pug with an attitude go figure.  Our dad has been making us homemade dog food and treats that are perfect for two pampered Pugs like us.

Hope to see all our friends at the next pug event.

Love & Smooches

Herbie the Pug & Angus the Great
