Pug Hospice
This page is dedicated to the pugs that come into rescue, but are too old or too sick to be adopted. These pugs are in "permanent foster care," and we try to give them as much love and comfort as we can for as much time as they have left.


Pepper's angels are:
Izzie McDougall
Laurie, Seth, and Phoebe Mix
Sarah Becker
Irina-Alexandra Rupp
Monique Lynch
James Enochs, in memory of Mimi
Shana Passante
Steven & Crae Harper

Pepper

My name is Old Man Pepper and my family gave me away because I was getting too old! Now it seems that I am getting cataracts and having a hard time seeing. When I went in for my checkup last week the vet said I needed to gain a few pounds and also have some rotten teeth pulled...yikes! I don't like this getting old thing! I also have a few areas of compressed discs along my spine and lots of arthritis so I will have to take medicine for the rest of my life, which I hope is a little longer because I love helping my foster mom feed the chickens here on Fat Dog Farm, and I love snoozing in the garden on sunny days to warm my old bones. I sure could use a little extra help and was hoping that some very special people would be my "Pug Angels". I would thank you with lots of pug kisses!!!

UPDATE March 2008:
I am really feeling my oats these days and I am pretty sure it is because of all of my pug angels, so I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all of you. I have gained a few pounds from my very good prescription food, and now that my mouth feels better, I can even chew on a big, yummy rawhide. Kisses to my angels!!

Sophia

I'm a sweet, senior golden retriever who was dropped off by my previous owner at Animal Control in a county where they use the gas chamber. I was covered in tumors, so my previous owner figured that I was ready to die. Luckily, the MAPR webmaster's wife happened to be in school to be a Vet Tech, and the students "learn" on dogs set to die in the gas chamber. Well, this nice lady saw that even though I have cancer and was filthy, I had some life left and she took me home.

That was in 2005! Here it is 2008, and I'm still going strong! My new family had my tumors removed (though most have grown back), and I am on a few expensive medications for things like arthritis and kidney failure. But aside from that, I'm the easiest dog there is, and I love everyone -- even my 3 pug siblings. My new family named me "Sophia" because she was the oldest Golden Girl, just like me!

I might not have a lot of time left, but at least I've lived in comfort for these past couple years, with a family who loves me. My meds are quite expensive, so if you'd like to make a small donation to MAPR, who helped save my life, it'd be super!
