Candy
Candy must have had a troubled past. She suffered from severe Diabetes but was unwilling to allow her insulin injections. When she came into the rescue she was very apprehensive of allowing anyone to pick her up, of being held, or the interaction with other dogs. She knew commands such as sit, shake and lay down.As her short time with us grew she became trusting and was willing to be picked up, held and loved. She learned to interact with the other dogs and loved to lay in bed. She never was willing to allow the insulin injections and even resisted a muzzle. We resolved ourselves to give her the best life we were able to for the time she was with us and gave her the love she so much enjoyed. If they could only tell us what happened to them in their past so we could gain their trust more quickly and they could learn how to be loved. We did not want her to suffer and we were with her until the very end. She will be greeted by Carmen, Ryder, Ebony, Jo Jo, Buddy, Hannah, Ivory and a host of other "Pug Luv" Pugs who are awaiting us to join them some day.

Carmen
Although Carmen was only with us for a very short period of time, she won our hearts and that of many others. She fought so hard. Someone treated her so badly by allowing her to become emaciated, anemic and develop severe respiratory problems. Everything was done to help her through her problems but in the end she was just too weak to overcome everything. We were with her when she crossed the bridge and we truly believe she knows how much she was loved. Run sweet girl with Ebony, Sarah, Ivory and all of those who preceded you because now you are free and out of pain and discomfort. Until we meet again know you were loved by so many even by those you never met.

Annabelle
Our sweet baby Annabelle passed away yesterday, July 14, 2016. She had been sick with what we thought was pancreatitis but now know was lymphoma. We are heartbroken. The house seems so quiet without her pug oinks and special snores. She brought so much love and joy into our lives. She will always be in our hearts. The Young Family

Sammy
Sammy was the second pug we adopted from the Michigan Pug Rescue. He entered our lives in 2003, and even after all these wonderful years together, it seems like we brought him home just yesterday. For the first few years, he was an extremely energetic pug who loved food and couldn’t sit still. As he aged, he became a couch potato who loved to snuggle on the sofa and burrow under the covers at bedtime. After all these years together, he never stopped loving food and would run to his bowl like the first day we brought him home. Even though he drooled, hated baths, and left dog hair everywhere, he was our best friend and we miss him terribly. Sammy and Owen, our first pug, are back together now and we hope they know how much joy and happiness they brought to our family. Words can’t describe how much we loved our pugs. They were our family and we are grateful to Michigan Pug Rescue for bringing them into our lives.

Ginger
It is with sadness in our hearts that we had to let Ginger go the Rainbow Bridge. She was only with us three short years, but in that time she really was so much part of us and became so much a part of our family. She instantly became the Diva of the house. Unfortunately and although she was only eight years old, she had some significant problems in the last year. She could no longer see or smell and had terrible arthritis in both her legs and back. She seemed really miserable and confused. She no longer waved her tail or barked anymore. She didn't even get comfort from our other dog, Oreo,or from us. It was heartbreaking to see her like this. So, we made the hard decision to let her pass to the Rainbow Bridge where she can wait for Oreo and her other dog friends. We know she is at peace now. We miss you but you are in a better place and no more suffering. Dr Pat said you can see all the colors of the rainbow now. Cathy
