| Quincey Earl |
Two and half years ago, on June 1, a small pug was found in a hotel room in Knoxville. She had been abandoned and was in labor. She was rushed to a vet and 5 puppies were saved. The mom, Taffy was adopted by a family in New Jersey. Sadly, she died a year later of pancreatic cancer.
In the meantime, her 5 puppies were rescued and fostered by Small Breed Rescue of East Tennessee. They were named after movie stars - Greta, Rooney, Marlon, Ginger and Bing. One by one, they were adopted in the greater Knoxville area. Marlon was the last one adopted at age 5 months. He was renamed Quincey.
Two years later, Small Breed Rescue had a reunion. Quincey and his mom went, hoping to run into a sibling or two. Lo and behold, the first dog they saw was Quincey's twin - Ginger! After the parents talked, the decision was made to try and find the other siblings. Karen at SBRET agreed to send out an e-mail to the other families. We found all the other siblings! Someone made the suggestion that we hold a family reunion, because how many times do you find all the members of an adopted family?

Plans are under way for a Spring Reunion! We are all saddened that mom Taffy passed away before being able to see all her kids reunited, but all the families there were so grateful to her for making our lives happier with her beautiful puppies!
