MoeMoe (Egon)

I adpoted MoeMoe on March/2009. He is shy but he is learning new stuffs everday. It is my biggest joy to see his smiling face when I come home from work everday. MoeMoe has changed from a little nervous dog to a happy cute dog. He gets a lot of compliments when we are taking our daily walk in our neighborhood.
Thank you Pup for bringing MoeMoe to my life.

Rufus (AKA Pickles)

03/26/2010 After months of trying to find a companion for my dog Zoe (Shih Tzu/Bichon) PUP introduced us to Rufus during one of their Pet Fairs. Zoe and I had actually gone out to meet another pup. He was a sweat heart, but just not what we were looking for. We had tried several times to find just the right fit, but knew who ever it was had to be just right for us. The best thing I ever did was let Zoe take the lead. She met several different dogs that day, but none clicked with with her. That is until she met Rufus. He and his crazy one blue one brown eye. He was the first pup we had met that she showed a general interest in. Taking a leap of faith we decided to invite Rufus into our lives. Proving once again, animals know best, Rufus has been the PERFECT fit into our home. He is just the sweetest well mannered gentleman. He and Zoe have become the best of friends. They rip through the house, out the doggie door and back in several times a day. They keep each oth
er company through out the day while I am at work. I have set up a doggie spy cam so I can keep an eye on them, and was so happy when I caught them sleeping on the couch together. The two of them go with me where ever I go, and are so happy when one of those trips included going to the park. Zoe has even tried to teach Rufus that the water is fun. He accidently ran in after her one day. He thinks, not so much..LOL

I can not thank PUP enough for all that they do. Without their dedication and hard work, we would never have found our Rufus. Thank you all so very much.

Sincerly,
Michale Farrar

Gus (aka Schotzy)

We adopted our boy Gus in November 2008. He is the most loving, sweet and smart little guy we have ever known. He was shy and nervous for a few months, but now he is the most outgoing and popular pup in our neighborhood. All he needed was lots of love and consistency to build his confidence. My husband and I are so grateful that PUPS brought Gus into a foster situation when his previous family surrendered him in the parking lot at a local animal shelter. THANK YOU for all the wonderful work you do with these wonderful animals.

Haley - (now Roxy)

It has been over 3 years since Roxy joined our family. She has come along way since the day she arrived. According to her foster Mom she is the mother of Meka, the beautiful puppy on PUP's website.
My heart went out to her the moment I saw her and I knew she had found her home for life. It did not matter that she came to us with "issues", afterall, her life before PUP rescued her was just a cage, used for breeding, with little human contact. I would carry her around the house, wrapped in her favorite pink baby blanket reassuring her she has nothing to ever be frightened about again. Dave and I take her everywhere possible, socializing her as much as possible. It did not take long before she would prance around like a showdog, especially with her black/pink dress (see pics). She is now a complete Diva!! Everyone who comes to visit, she thinks is there to see her. She has many little tricks she does now, and the more people laugh, the more she goes. She races around the house on her "happy dog" laps until she is exhausted. Sleeps next to me in bed, and yes - is completed spoiled rotten. I would not have it any other way!!
Roxy still has her little fears and we do not expect too much from her because we love her just the way she is, yet she still continues do the unexpected. Just recently after having her teeth cleaned, she continues to get excited at the vet - she loves Dr Norquist!!
A special thank you everyone with PUP for your continued efforts with dog rescues giving dogs like Roxy a loving home for life.

Libby Lou (Cindy Lou)

We have a 9 year old mastiff mix, Maggie, who is a big sweetheart, and have been contemplating on a new addition for some time. We really wanted MAggie to be able to teach a pup 'her ways' as we have been so blessed. We did not feel our home could handle another big dog though, and knew she did fine with our friends small dogs, so we starting looking on PerFinder. We came across Libby's face in some photos and feel in love instantly!! That underbite is so perfectly imperfect! We went to the meet and greet and took her home that day. The first couple days, Maggie didnt really understand what was going on, but took very quickly to being her 'babysitter'. They stay together all day while we are at work in the kitchen, and curl up on the bed together. We take them for walks at this local park, in a fenced in area - no one is ever there so they get to run. The other day, Libby took off around a corner we couldnt see, and we want her to get more used to coming when we call
her, so we told Maggie to 'go get her' and she went up around the corner and herded her back to us - it was great! Libby also hides behind Maggie as any other dogs approach to smell - it's just great to see her be protected, and trust Maggie - we are having so much fun and are so excited for the years to come! Thank you!!
