Diva

Well I am not certain when I began to love Diva (probably immediately!!) who we had decided to foster her this past June (2007) – wanted to give a senior pug a home, even temporarily.. but we already had 3 pugs, as well as my husband’s Lhasa Apso’s and our terrier mix.

So when she 1st arrived she was very shy though friendly and sweet still. Right away I adored her and did not beleive my friends who had warned me not to get too attached to her, well that’s exactly what happened! Though I still kept it in back of my head that our main objective had been to give her a home till a forever home was found but I soon fell in love with her. I think it was because she loved me so much, she cried if I left the room or went in the shower and she did not know where I was. It felt really good and I loved how each day I discovered something new about her. And I loved seeing her (blossom) from a shy and withdrawn pug to a happy and sweet puggie girl who under my care was learning that she was safe and that she was at home with us.

Ruby & Pugsley

A few words about Ruby and Pugsley…

We have owned 4 cockatiels, 2 parakeets, and several fish over the past few years.  Although we love those pets, there was something missing. We pondered adopting a dog many times, but did not do so because we were afraid of the dog attacking the birds (they are open cage birds).

A former student from South Miami Senior High School named Jackie sent us postcards on each major holiday with her pugs in costume. One day we decided go visit Jackie. When we arrived, we were greeted by three pugs, Bailey, Riley, and Bodie. We fell in love with all of them and came home to research the rescue sites.

Jeffrey

The moment we saw Jeffrey we knew we had to have him! When I was little I had pugs, and I have been in love with the breed every since! We have our 3 year old pug, Mowgli, and were ready to get another so that he could have a companion, and because we just couldn’t resist having another.  I had found the CPR website a while back, and would always find myself looking at the available pups. I know that rescuing was the way that we wanted to go! When we saw Jeffrey and read his story we knew right away he was the one! I immediately filled out the application not knowing what to expect! The next morning Marcia called me. I wasn’t expecting to hear back so quickly, and we were all so excited!
