New Beginnings

Windzor

windzorI can’t say enough good things about finding your wonderful organization.  Rescuing an older Pug is such a wonderful thing for both:  Parents and adoptee!.

Windzor is a true delight – right after our grandchildren!  Our temperaments mesh so much easier than having to train a pup.  After barely two weeks we have established a great bond.  He is a true joy, easy to care for and forever ready to give unconditional love.  Hope he has good genes and lives to a ripe olde age!

Thanks a bunch – fondly, Jutta and Richard

After the loss of our 18 year old Labrador, our family took a year before thinking about adding another little creature. Our pug Basil had grown up with his sister dog since she was 10 and we knew he would have some adjusting of his own as well. When we felt the time was right again, we decided we really wanted another pug and companion for Basil.

We were just crazy about Basil and his breed, but did not want to buy from a breeder when there were so many dogs that already needed a family. Eleven years ago he was an impulse buy at a pet store for $350 and he came with a sack of dog food!  Although we think that story is pretty funny the reality now is that these beloved dogs come from a place that’s not so great.

Lola & Murphy

lola-and-murphyLola is awesome, a wonderful love and the Queen of the household.  We love her to pieces.  Murphy and Lola get along wonderfully and play “pug” of war with their toys all the time.

Little Lola is truly our little “showgirl” and where we came up with her name.  She loves to be the center of attention and can’t get enough love and tummy rubs.  She is a crazy little character who truly “talks” to us with her variety of sounds.

Here’s a couple of recent photos.  Steve’s lap is one of her favorite places to be!

We are blessed and happy to have her as one of our “kids”.

Diva

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.
