Paige and Lexi has been Re-Homed as a part of the CFPR "Keep Families Together" program. Congratulations!

CFPR would like to thank Mike Holfeld and his crew for putting together a great piece for the Problem Solvers segment. They endured the long drive, sweltering Aug heat, and ranbunctious pugs that wanted to get out and play after being couped up all day long.

Here is the link to the article on Local6 web page. we hope to have a link of the video up real soon.

BTW: it is not noted in the article, but Mike and his family adopted Patticake !!!  The power of PUG LOVE never ceases to amaze us.

In the midst of the food recall on moist canned dog food and cat food, there have been numerous inquiries on what brands. Please go to www.menufoods.com for a list of brand names. You can also go to www.fda.gov for updated information.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED!

TAKE A CHANCE ON LOVE….  Times are tough for everyone.  Jobs are disappearing, homes lost due to foreclosures, gasoline and food costs are sky-high while salaries stay the same or are decreased.  We are all struggling just to keep our heads above water, with no end in sight.  That’s the people…think of the pugs. 

From January 1, 2008 through June 1, 2008, Seminole County, one of our key rescue counties, took in 1,382 dogs.  Of that number, 191 were adopted.  338 were euthanized.  155 were transferred to rescue organizations.  44 died of illness or injury.  135 remain in the County shelter.  The rest were re-homed to their owners. 

For this same time period last year, take each one of those figures and cut it in half, except for the adoption figure. Add another 103 dogs to that number.  That should give you a clear picture of what this recession is doing to the animal rescue situation in Central Florida.  But what about the pugs?  First, rest assured, that all of the pugs taken into government shelters in the Central Florida area were rescued from those shelters by either Central Florida Pug Rescue, Inc. or one of our sister agencies.  The bad news is that many of them, along with other pugs surrendered directly to us, are still in our foster care system.
