Katie
It is with great sadness that Katie has lost her fight with Heartworm Disease. Heartworm is a preventable disease. Having your pet tested annually and administering preventative medication monthly year around helps to prevent this sometimes deadly disease. The treatment is heart wrenching for the owner of the dog and it is unfair that any pet should go through the treatment. For a period of 4 weeks the pet must be caged and only allowed out of that cage for potty time which must be on a short leash. Interaction with other pets or people can only serve to excite the pet and potentially cause a blockage in the blood stream resulting in death. This is in addition to the fact that the treatment is not always successful as was the case with Katie. In addition it is an expensive treatment that nobody needs to have.Please have your pet tested annually and administer the preventative 12 months a year

Clara
Clara and Henrietta came to our home on November 11, 2012 and brought such joy to our home. Clara always had such a big smile on her face and her body would wiggle every time we walked into the room. Every pet finds a way into your heart, but Clara burrowed deep into our souls and she is missed every single day since her passing on Monday, October 27th. From the moment we saw her picture, we fell in love with her and continue to love and miss her every day. Thank you Clara Bell for your unconditional love and happiness you provided to our family. You have gone to be with all of our friends that have crossed the "Rainbow Bridge". Now you can run and play, just like you did the day you came into our home. We love you Clara and miss you very much!! Terrie & Leslie

Buddy
Buddy came to "Pug Luv" at the age of 10 years from a kill shelter in the middle of the state. During his stay he became blind and deaf but remained active and enjoyed his walks around the yard to get his exercise. He was just a sweet old soul who was a permanent foster as a result of his conditions. At the age of 15 years his quality of life was failing and the difficult decision was made to let him cross the Rainbow Bridge to enable him to continue his walks with his sister Ebony, Hannah and, Ivory. He will be dearly missed by Scuito, Mr. Gibbs, Ringo, Kathy and Larry.

Gizmo
Just wanted to share with our Pug family some unfortunate news... Gizmo our pug we adopted in 2007 passed away last night. He was 14, June 1st. We loved him so much! He was like my 2nd child-our family! We are so grateful to have shared so many memories with him and thankful for the opportunity to have given him a home! He was so loved and adored! It's a really hard time for us right now, but I wanted to share some of the memories of Gizmo we had through these few photos! We love the Michigan Pug Rescue because through you we found our boy.. My Gizzy! Thank you again! Sincerely, Sarah Allen & Jameer

Gizmo
What do you think? What do you say? My heart was literally broken today. Two months ago you came to stay, So shy, so scared- you wouldn't play. I sat in the chair right next to you, just waiting to love someone new. I finally brought you home, I said your free Gizmo. .free to run. Not knowing at all about the damage that had been done. As time went on, I loved you more. Right at my heels, my shadow, pug form on the floor. My mom and I did things that were pretty cool. She took me swimming while Dana was at school. Gizmo mom said. .I lifted my ears. Do you want a snack or go outside? I tilted my head. Ok.. come on Giz she said..lets go for a ride. That was the best part, being by your side. We tried to fix what had been done. You loved us all, our hearts you won. And no matter what the others did, Michigan Pug Rescue excepted you as our new kid. The day you left it poured down rain, my heart so broken.. I love you Giz. I know your sending kiss licks back from Rainbow bridge. So here is the bottom of a second chance at life.. Got held through storms and under the covers at night. But I know now that I was loved from the second I walked through the Barnett’s door to Rainbow bridge. .forevermore. .love mom
