Miley

Wanted to keep in touch with you and say Thank You again for all of your help and for bringing Miley into our lives.  We are so blessed to have found this dog.  She is doing so well.  She is so playful, loving and snuggly.  She is getting so much attention and love.  My 3 year old calls her “my princess”.  My daughter has taken such responsibility in getting her water, food (with supervision of course, or she would be 50 pounds already) and in walking her.  We are just so delighted to have her.  She is such a DOLL! What a perfect match!

Thanks!

Baby Girl

Jessie and Jeff Thompson were introduced to Marcia early in 2008 by an interested third party pug lover. They had spoken many times about adoption since they had the perfect large fenced and walled yard for dogs. The Thompsons at this point had a pug, Lucy Liu, a Jack Russell, Daisy, and two Bassetts Bailey and Cody. Cody had been adopted so they were aware of what it is like to adopt a formerly mistreated animal. Marcia had recommended that Jessie and Jeff look at a new member of Compassionate Pug Rescue, a beautiful little girl named Baby Girl.

On April 23, Jessie and Jeff lost their precious Jack Russell Daisy at the age of 11 to bladder cancer. Grief stricken for weeks they entertained adoption of a pug and spoke to Marcia about Baby Girl. She was brought over to the Thompson house for an introductory visit and to meet her potential three new sisters. It was love at first sight for everyone and two weeks later Baby Girl became a Thompson. Jessie and Jeff had her palate corrected and her nasal passage widened surgically so she can now play pretty hard with her three sisters and is very very happy at her new forever home. She sleeps on the bed every night – loves all her new toys – can now breathe just like a regular pug – has put on weight enjoying all new food and is absolutely one of the best things Jessie and Jeff ever did for themselves. They thank Compassionate Pug Rescue for giving them their wonderful new pug- baby Girl!

Mugsy

Thank you CPR for helping my mom (Shannon) find my big brother! Mugsy and I are best friends. He follows mom around everywhere and I keep an eye on them both! Even though he is a bit slower than I am, I always look out for him to make sure he is ok and keeping up. He loves to eat and snuggle. You should see how fast he jogs now!! He amazes me and my mom everyday how appreciative and happy he is to be a part of our family.

Thanks again!

Leo

Leo is the best “PUG” ever.

He’s the cutest & the funniest.

He is loved, healthy & happy & will stay that way for the rest of his life.

Here in this house…
I will never know the loneliness I hear in the barks of the other dogs “out there”.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my world will not have changed.
I will never know hunger, or the fear of not knowing if I’ll eat.
I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat. I will feel the sun’s heat & the rain’s coolness,
& be allowed to smell all that can reach my nose.

Here in this house…
There will be an effort to communicate to me on my level. I will be talked to, & even if I don’t understand, I can enjoy the warmth of the words.
My name will be used in joy & I will love the sound of it.

Here in this house…
I will be loved because I am who I am, different yet equal my sister.
I will never suffer for someone’s anger, impatience or stupidity.
I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.

Here in this house…
I can trust the arms that hold, hands that touch…knowing that, no matter what they do, they do it for the good of me.

Here in this house…
If I’m ill, I will be doctored.
If I’m scared, I will be calmed.
If I’m sad, I will be cheered.
No matter what I look like I will be considered beautiful, & known to be of greatest value.
I will never be cast out because I’m too old, too ill, too unruly, or not cute enough. My life is a responsibility, & not an afterthought.

Here in this house…I will belong. I am home.
