An update on Riley .. He has a Siamese sister now!  They are getting along very well.  They actually look alike with their coloring.  We rescued her from the dumpster at Mark’s work. We tried to find her real parents, but no one responded to the found kitty posting.  Their lost, she’s a doll.  Angie

We adopted Rocky on October 9, 2007 and I just wanted to thank you guys again for bringing him into my life. We love him so much!! Him and his sister pug Sandy are so good together. I wanted to email a photo of the two sun bathers from this past weekend. Thanks again for giving me the chance to give Rocky a great home! Till next time ~Kelly Hawkins

Ike is doing just great and so are we. We have settled in to a bit of a routine in the mornings. He still LOVES his walks and gets to meet lots of other dogs and also gets a few pets from people too. He now knows to sit so I can put the harness on him and when we get back and take the harness off, he runs into the kitchen and sits patiently for his treat.

Last night he lost his carrot under the oven and came to me and then went back to the oven - back and forth - until I finally looked under the stove to see what the fuss was about and saw his carrot!

He is a total pro on the subway - no problem at all. We figured he'd be okay since cars, trucks, buses and streetcars don't seem to phase him at all.

There has been no marking or accidents in the house. He sleeps through the night on the bed I made him. We are reinforcing all his good behaviour with treats - carrots and liver treats.

We are starting obedience class in June - already he is pretty good, but there is always room for inprovement - like coming when called even though there was a loud bang off in the distance - and it will be good for me too!

We have also done lots of visiting and he has gotten to meet lots of people. 
All our neighbours love him and keep saying it looks like he has always been with us.

Right now he is culred up on my lap sleeping.

We have just been so lucky with Ike and just love him so much already.

Thanks again for everything and hopefully we'll see you in September.

We adopted Lucy this month and she has been a great addition to our family, she's the one on the left and she has a big brother named Bruiser that is on the right, the play and cuddle so well together. She is now fully potty trained and she has no problem waking us up with kisses to let us know when she needs to go out. Thanks so much for taking good care of her and I would recommend anyone to resuce a pug from the MPR any day. Danielle and Matt.


Lucy is doing great, the picture is of Bruiser and Lucy and our friends dog Sweat Pea, they all get along so good. She has made her self right at home and has been doing pretty good with potty training, she's learning from her big brother! She has taken over the bed at night and lets us know when she needs to go out side by licking either one of our faces. We are so happy that we have her in our family she is the sweetest pug. Bruiser also loves having her around to play tug a war with and run around the back yard. She hasn't been eating everything in the yard, she is way too busy finding out what Bruiser is up to.
Thanks for everything and we are truly happy with Lucy.

We adopted Henry in March 2007, and we tell him that he is the Pug of our dreams!  Henry was chunky back then, and losing 4# has allowed his "inner athlete" to emerge.  We had a blast in agility class during the summer; a photo shows Henry running thru the hoop tunnel.  The next photo shows him on Halloween, quite unfazed by a monster at the governor's house.  He was dressed as a Pug (punk) Rocker, helping pass out candy.  Living with a Pug is like living with Princess Diana--everyone notices Henry and wants to say hi, and he is a little gentleman, happy to greet them all.
 
Henry is a great companion, who really enjoys two of our favorite things--walking and napping (see photo of him taking advantage of a pile of clean laundry).  He also loves the dog park.  Given a choice, he would like to eat our pet rabbit, but we're working on that... 
 
We were dismayed to miss the reunion picnic in September, but Henry's people both had bronchitis, and we wouldn't allow "H" to drive himself.  We plan to be there next year!  Thanks Michigan Pug Rescue for bringing us Henry!  

I just wanted you to know that we are really enjoying Margaret.  She is such a sweetie,and cuddler.
Seems like we have had her forever.  She and Spanky are doing fine.  Although, I do think Spanky is wondering when she is going home.  He hangs in the same general area as her and they hang together when outside.  I think they will become inseparable eventually.  She seems to have made herself at home and knows this is her home.  She does sleep with Travis and they have definitely bonded.  He cleaned her ears and wrinkles and did a good job.  He wants to take
care of her as much as he can.  We went and picked up a new bed, which has her afghan on it and a bowl and toy.
we found if we put dog gravy on her food she eats it just fine.  But, she is definitely not a chow hound, which is good, because Spanky isn't either.  So, there isn't a food problem.
Thanks for recommending her to us, we love her.  She puts a smile on my face when I see her.

I just wanted to give you an update on Gizmo 2, who we adopted several months ago. 

His name is now Pablo, and has taken very well to that.  He is doing extremely well and still has lots of energy, enjoys long walks with this pug sister, Bailey, and wrestling with Bailey and the cats.  He continues to be very playful, but I think Bailey is starting to instill the "non-puppy" laziness in him, as he loves taking naps on the bed and on the couch.  I've attached a current picture as well.  I know he is very happy in his forever home!

Just wanted to let you know that I believe Yoda is fully adjusted to his new surroundings. He is truly awesome. I absolutely love him, and I already can't imagine my life without Yoda Schuman.

We adopted Cloie (known as Cozy on the website) as a result of the adoption fair at the Midland Fairgrounds last summer (2006).  We just love her!  In addition to her favorite place to relax during the day as pictured below she enjoys sleeping on her LL Bean Bed in the master bedroom.  This of course occurs only when she is not on our Bed!   Thanks very much for the wonderful work you do to place these precious animals in loving homes.  Kevin & Kelly Dillan    P.S.  This is Cloie with the remote on SuperBowl Sunday.
