Yesterday we received such a special donation in memory of Mark Laue one of our Puggers who sadly passed away 2 months ago. Victor, who is only 8 years old donated 2 beautiful beds and blankets to Pug Rescue. He sewed them himself!! His sewing is so professional and of such a high standard. Thank you Victor and a huge shout out to your mom who is teaching you such awesome values.

We are aware of the posts that have been circulating on social media over the last few days regarding a Pug in Cape Town. These posts contain false, defamatory, and misleading allegations, including claims that Pug Rescue South Africa “stole” the Pug.

We want to make it absolutely clear that these allegations are completely untrue, and at no stage did Pug Rescue South Africa act unlawfully or in bad faith. As an animal welfare organisation, our mission has always been to protect, rescue, and advocate for the wellbeing of Pugs.

It is extremely disappointing to see misinformation being spread online, as it undermines the tireless efforts of our team and volunteers who dedicate their time and hearts to helping animals in need.

We urge the public to refrain from sharing false information and to seek facts directly from reliable sources before drawing conclusions.

We remain committed to transparency, integrity, and the continued welfare of all Pugs in our care.

Thank you to our supporters who continue to stand by us and our mission.

Dear Family and Friends

My heartfelt and sincere thank you for the love, kindness and support whilst I navigate life without Mark, my soul mate, my best friend, my person, my world, my everything.

We will honour Mark’s life in a private family memorial as per Mark’s wishes.

Many of you have asked how you can celebrate his life. You can do so by raising a glass next time you sit down to a meal and love the person you are with a little tighter. Getting old is not a privilege enjoyed by all. Life is short!

Many of you have also wanted to send flowers. In lieu thereof, please feel free to make a donation to Pug Rescue South Africa. As you all know, Mark, the King of K9 BLISS ZA and I have had a special relationship with PRSA for close onto 15 years now.

Much love, Susi

I lost my precious Mark, the King of K9 BLISS ZA and wonderful dog father to the fur kids in residence.

Mark was my soul mate, my confidant, my special person, my husband, my protector, my guide, my life coach, my everything. The man I’ve know for 36 years and who I would have been married to for 28 years on the 25/10th.

You taught me so many things from fly fishing, scuba diving, riding a Harley and having one of my own, keeping koi fish, bits and pieces of DIY, music, crystals, stones, and a whole lot more. You taught me to enjoy literature and film. You were a walking encyclopaedia of knowledge and an English dictionary extraordinaire.

You were also quite the styler, that’s how I noticed you, way back in the day, and that remained with you all the years.

You had an exceptionally special bond with the fur kids, and they all loved you back. You were K9 BLISS ZA, and were very successful at it. Everyone loved you.

We travelled (not as much as we had hope for) but those were always special trips, no matter how near or far.

We had lots and lots of wild parties in our younger days, including driving fast cars, and then settled into a more quiet and mature lifestyle which we thoroughly enjoyed.

You supported me throughout my career, joining me for all my events from concerts, soccer, cricket, rugby and always supported me no matter what, for which I will always be thankful.

You always put me first, even in your last moments, a true gentleman by not having me to make what would have been the hardest decision in my lifetime.

Thank you again. A true protector to me as your wife, right to the last moment of your life. We honoured our commitment to each other and never gave up. For better, or worse - for richer, or poorer - in sickness and in health, till death do us part. These were not a list of commitments but something we honoured and lived by.

I will miss you terribly, miss all our chirps, wicked sense of humour, sushi and burger nights, sneaking in a tequila or two and so, so, so, much more.

The sadness and pain I’m feeling right now is indescribable.

Thank you for choosing me my Angel for being your person.

Be at peace, no pain, no suffering, and use those wings to soar and guide us from above.

There will never be enough words to thank you for all you’ve done, there is just so much.

Know you will always be loved by your little family, know that I know what needs to be done until we meet again, my true, true love, always and forever. 💔😇 💔en
