| PUG MEMORIES |
| On Christmas Day 2006, Christy Vernon, her pug Bugsy & her husband were driving home from a family get together when they ran in to some bad weather. They ran off the road where Christy and Bugsy were thrown from their vehicle. Both of them died. Her friends have sent our rescue a memorial gift of $250 in the memory of her beloved Bugsy. Christy and Bugsy are remembered by their friends at the Department of Finance and Administration in the office of Criminal Justice Programs, her husband John Vernon, and her parents: Mr. and Mrs. McGee. |
| Beloved one, you have died, but you are not alone. We are here with you, the beloved dead await you. You go from love into love and may our love carry you and open the way... |
| Liam |
| This is Liam,he was our first rescue. When we found him he was suffering from neglect. Liam spent most of his life in a outside pen without a way in or a way out for anyone. He lived in his own feces and urine, was heartworm positive, a neighbor kept Liam alive. Day to day, Liam would just run around in circles on a worn down path that he tried his best to keep clean. When we rescued Liam, he was afraid of people, he was sick with worms and very thin. After a course of heart worm treatment, food, and some lovin' Liam is enjoying himself in his new forever home with a family that love's him. Update: After 3 years of being in a great home, Liam began having seizures and died. He was thought to have died from Pug Dog Encephalitis. We will miss him. His adoptive parents, Linda Bellamy and her husband, loved Liam. Pug rescue is grateful that Liam died knowing what it was like to be inside, have a warm bed to sleep in and have a real family who loved on him everyday. |

| Pugsly |
| Pugsly Allen Branscom April 13, 1998 - April 08, 2008 Our heart and soul died this morning around 125am. He was just short of turning 10 and has struggled his whole life with one illness after another. He was always happy and the most gentle soul that one could meet. I thought I had prepared myself somewhat since he has been sick, but I was so wrong. Our whole life revloved around these three pugs, and Pugsly was our angel. Leslye |
| Biloxi |
| We miss her every day. Biloxi was a part of our family for over ten years. She was always happy, enjoyed sitting in the sun, and a constant companion. When ever anyone sat down to watch TV or ready, she would always be ready to sit on your lap. She was really a true friend that could always boost your spirits. The Notestines |
| Molly |
| Molly, just by being herself, could light up a room. She had this way about her, maybe it was her arthritic amble or the way she held her head, but everyone wanted to pet her and coo at her. She will be missed by all who met her. |
| Joey |
| Joey died of P.D.E. and will be missed by his family nad Rebecca. |
