New Beginnings

Maggie

maggieWe want to introduce ourselves to everyone looking in on us and many other fortunate pugs who were blessed by God to be taken in, given medical care, loved a barrel full, and given new homes by the “Angels” at CPR.

We are Henry (aka Tommy) and Maggie (aka Angel). We are both from Miami as we have been told.

I (Henry) was found by Animal Control, dodging cars, unfriendly people, and just having an all around bad beginning to my short life. I was suffering from a very bad case of demodex mange, pretty skinny, and pretty afraid of people’s hands. But CPR came to my rescue. I was off to a wonderful foster home in Miami with my new foster Dad Ken who took great care of me. OK, Maggie it is your turn.

Bunnie

bunnieDear CPR,

On behalf of my new family and myself, I wish to thank you and all of the volunteers at CPR for placing me in my new home.  Thanks to your compassion and your monetary support I was able to have cataract surgery and lens implants which brought the great wide world back to me.  I can see fire hydrants and ducks from a long way away now!  Oh boy!  I love my new family too!  My new brother Rocky opened his home and his heart to me.  He plays with me and naps with me and protects me and gets in trouble with me too.

My new mommy and daddy take real good care of me.  My favorite thing is when mommy goes to the kitchen to make dinner.  I am sure to get some lettuce or a piece of broccoli if I follow her in there.  As for daddy, I love to pester him when he has strawberries!  They really taste good.  When he rubs my belly I fall fast asleep and snore with utter contentment.

Anyway, I just want you to keep up the good work.  CPR has been a blessing to me and my new family.

Sincerely,

Bunnie

mr-picklesHello 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

spiritAfter 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.
