Annie
Annie came to Pug Luv from a local shelter. She was found as a stray by a local shelter who contacted Pug Luv after her hold time was completed. She was diagnosed with bladder crystals, severe dry eye. She was seen by the Neurologist and diagnosed with Encephylitis. She began treatment to curtail her seizures. She was a happy girl always wagging her tail. On Saturday, December 9th she had 2 seizures and was rushed to the Neurologist's office where her temperature was 107. She was immediately placed on IV's and meds to bring down the temp and stop the seizure. They finally had to sedate her and advised us that there could be organ and brain damage and that she had regressed in her treatment for the Encephlitis. After consulting with the Neurologist and the ER doctor it was decided that her quality of life, if she survived the episode would not be good and we were advised that the best for her would be to let her cross the bridge. She was such a sweet girl and we did not want her to suffer.

Jake
I adopted my pug Jake from your organization 12 years ago. He recently passed at the age of 15. He was sweet and loving and gentle. I would like to thank you all for the chance to adopt from you. He brought much joy, loyalty, and companionship into my families life.

Duchess
Are hearts are broken. We had to say goodbye to our sweet girl Duchess. She will be missed. Carol and Bill

Odie
Oh, Odie... While Odie was indeed a rescue, he and I found one another independently of Michigan Pug Rescue. But it is because of him that I am so very grateful to not only know of, but have worked with this amazing organization. Odie and I's story is a funny one... I didn't want him, at first!! I had never owned a pet—let alone a dog—in all my life. So, when at the ripe age of 30 a friend of mine suggested that I take in a pug whom a co-worker of her's had mentioned needed a new home, my initial, automatic response was, “No way!” Also consider the fact that until the age of 24 or 25, I had been deathly afraid of dogs, for reasons that we don't need to get in to here and now. I just didn't think that it would work out or be a good fit. And then she sent me pictures of Odie... I called her back immediately, and said, “He's mine! When can we go and pick him up?!” That day would turn out to be December 23rd, 2010, and after a grueling, snowy car ride to-and-from Grand Rapids, Odie arrived in my home, and in my life on Christmas Eve. He would prove to be the greatest Christmas gift I have or will ever receive in my life from the very moment I met him. For six wonderful years, Odie was an absolute blessing to me, my family, and to any and all who had the good fortune of meeting the little goof ball. And he loved each and every one of us in return. It's all he knew how to do. Our time together was so brief in the great scheme of things, but in that short time, Odie had such an amazing and profound impact on my well-being, seeing me through some very difficult times with only the most unconditional of loves. And I have no doubt that he knew how much I loved him in return. He was a happy dog, and I take great pride and comfort in that fact. He was taken very suddenly and unexpectedly early Saturday morning, January 7th, 2017. He did not suffer, and he passed in comfortable surroundings and the company of people who loved him dearly. And we all miss you, Odie. More than you could ever possibly imagine. All the cuddling, the playing, and the silly noises... And the sloppy licking, the bad breath, and the flatulence too! But I know that our paths will cross again someday over that Rainbow Bridge in the sky! And when they do, you had best be prepared for some serious belly scratching. Until then, sleep well, my sweet Rubes (his nickname... We all have them, right?!), and know that you will be with me always. Arrf!!

Priscilla
Our family wanted to let you know that we had to allow our precious Priscilla to cross over Rainbow Bridge yesterday. In early August she had a lump in her mouth removed, our vet took it to MSU to have it evaluated and shortly after we learned she had cancer. The growth came back quicker than expected, with a heavy heart we decided her quality of life was rapidly deteriorating. So, we let her go. Prissy will always hold a special place in each our of hearts. She was a good girl, who loved, walks, treats, and especially her owners. She was my parents first dog and she was treated so well. Whenever my parents came back from a short or long trip once they walked through the door Prissy would always yelp with joy. We loved her so, and as hard as the decision was we know she is in a better place, with a perfect healthy body. We look forward to the day when we will be reunited with her, until then I am certain she will always be watching us from above. Sincerely, Sean and Heidi Ruis Fernando and Mary Calera
