If you have rescued a pug then you know firsthand just how wonderful and rewarding it can be to adopt a pug. Well, we would like you to share your adoption experiences with the OwnedByPugs community.

The Battle of the Bulge is not just for humans. It seems pets across the country face a lot of the same weight related issues as their owners. To help raise awareness of pet obesity and the dangers your pet faces by being overweight, Hill’s has designed the PetFit Challenge. The Challenge was designed to help owners take positive steps in helping their pets shed those extra pounds.
And who better than to set an example for pets across America than Jillian Michaels and her Chihuahua, Baxter. Jillian Michaels is best know as a trainer on NBC’s show The Biggest Loser. While Jillian may be in excellent shape her faithful friend Baxter could afford to shed 3 pounds.

If you are anything like me, you probably get bombarded with all kinds of credit card offers each day. Most of the time, I feed all of the offers right into my shredder, but this one caught my eye. The PetRewards Visa card not only lets you put your pet’s photo on the card, but it also has a rewards program geared towards animal lovers. The card lets you turn your reward points into discount certificates for pet food, veterinary services or donations to animal shelters.

A new bill that requires state leaders to include pet owners in emergency evacuation plans went before the House on Monday. State and local preparedness offices that fail to include plans for the evacuation of pets and service animals would not qualify for FEMA grants. If the bill passes, evacuation plans that include pets would be a huge incentive for residents in danger to evacuate. A recent Zogby International poll found that “49 percent of adults say they would refuse to evacuate if they couldn’t take their pets with them.”
