Owen

Dear Kathy, Larry and everyone else involved with the MI Pug Rescue, On behalf of Sammy and Owen, we are sending this donation to the Michigan Pug Rescue. We love our pugs and cannot imagine what our life would be like without them. We rescued Owen in 2001 and he is now 12 years old. We rescued Sammy, our black pug, in 2003 and he just turned 9 years old. While Owen is now mostly blind and deaf, he is still very healthy and lives an incredibly spoiled life. Sammy still acts like an energetic puppy at times, but he has really started to turn gray over the last year. We've enclosed a picture of them from last summer when they were visiting Lake Huron. They don't get back to Michigan very often, but really enjoy spending time outdoors when they are there. We truly appreciate all the hard work you do and we are pleased that we can help support the rescue again this year . Our sincerest thanks, Scot & Heather Korth

Ralphy

Ralphy has become an excellent addition to our family. He has learned the layout of our home quickly and travels around very well, in fact he has picked up the nickname Roaming Ralph. Ralphy has had only two accidents to date, but they appear to be the result of normal male marking. Other than that he has done well. He goes on one walk per day and enjoys the exercise. I would encourage people not to rule out a special needs dog, although Ralphy does require a little more extra time and patience, he has been so worth it. We love him very much and we know he feels the same because of all the extra kisses he gives! We are happy that he has become a permanent presence in our home. Love , Yhe Ruis family

Ritchie

Tuffy aka (ritchie) from the michigan pug rescue went to live with my dad, dan mccully in feb 2011. only 6months after my mother had passed away. I started emailing my dad pics of ritchie and showing him his first foster grand puppy in dec. 2010.. His love quickly turned for ritchie and my dad wanted me to bring ritchie to him so he could have a forever home. I could not believe that this little dog won his heart so quickly. In feb 2011 I took ritchie to the bahamas to live with his new dad and big brother rufus. my dad calls me every day to tell me whats going on with his kids. I can not believe that this sweet lil pug that nobody wanted, helped my dad to mend a piece of his heart after my mom had passed. Now tuffy aka (ritchie) gets dressed up along with his brother rufus and goes to parties just like all the other kids do down there. Thank you sooooo much michigan pug rescue, for giving my dad a little more love in his heart.

Mickey

Micky at last night's Pennsylvania SPCA Good Dog Gala annual fundraiser event. He did very well and there were lots of dogs there. He got lots of hugs and kisses and pets from the folks there. He also had his photo taken by the SPCA photographer and the Philadelphia abc tv station got a shot of him. Maybe it will show up on tv today...wpvi 6. My aunt went with me. My Lucy who can get a little goofy stayed home with Terry while Micky and I were on our date. Can't believe it, but Micky turned 11 1/2 on October 1. Gina

Milo

Just wanted to give you an update on how things are going with Milo. WONDERFUL ! He is absolutely precious. He and his big sister Patches are partners in crime already. and having a great time playing tug a war over every toy and chasing all the Squirels out of THEIR back yard. night #2 we just said bed time and Milo jumped right into his doggie bed and was snoring within minutes. Its Saturday morning and the family just returned form our walk to the park. He Loves his walks to the park. Right now he is taking a little snooze by my side. He is going to have a wonderful life with us, and we are so blessed to have found him. Thank you So very much. periodically we will send pictures and updates at to how he is doing. He is adjusting very well and seems very happy . Last evening, he and I were cuddled in a blanket in the recliner and watched tv together. Bob and Judy Centeck
