Meet Rue – The Resilient, Snuggly Jug with a Big Heart!
Say hello to Rue, an adorable 1–2-year-old Jug (Jack Russell/Pug mix) with a survivor’s spirit and a heart full of love! Rue’s story began in Alburgh, Vermont, where she was found as a stray — thin, scared, and with nails so long they curled into her paw pads. Thankfully, a kind samaritan took her in, helped her heal, and gave her a second chance at a happy life.
Today, Rue is healthy, playful, and ready to find a forever family who will love her for the sweet, snuggly girl she is. She can be a little shy at first, but once she warms up, Rue’s affectionate nature shines through — she adores her humans and will happily curl up beside you for couch cuddles.
Rue gets along well with cats and other small dogs, but big dogs make her nervous, so she’s looking for a home where she can feel safe and confident. She’s shown some separation anxiety, so she’ll do best with someone who’s home often or can help her build up her comfort level over time. Rue is also a bit of a trickster — she’s been known to jump or squeeze through gates if she spots an opening!
She’s housebroken when kept on a regular schedule, and she’s still learning about the leash — a little patience and positive encouragement will help her master it in no time.
Rue is currently on medical hold until she has seen our vet, but she’ll soon be ready to start her journey toward finding her forever home.
Rue’s ideal home is one where she can get plenty of love, patience, and security — a family who will help her continue to blossom into the confident, happy pup she’s meant to be.
If you think you and Rue might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org or submit an adoption application through our website. Her adoption fee is $250.

Meet Jag - Your Loyal Little Velcro Companion
Jag (aka Hippo) is an approximately 8-year-old fawn French Bulldog with a heart full of love. Despite coming from a difficult backyard breeding situation, Jag is incredibly gentle, trusting, and happiest when he?s right by your side. From day one, he's been a total snugglebug, following his people everywhere and soaking up belly rubs.
Jag is very social and does great with other dogs. He would truly thrive in a home with a canine companion, as he loves having a buddy to follow and learn from. He's friendly when meeting new dogs and has done well with children, showing his sweet and curious nature.
He is mostly house-trained and learning his routine, does well with handling and grooming, and is calm and easygoing at the vet and in the car. Jag prefers a home where someone is around most of the time, as he doesn't enjoy being alone?he just wants to be part of the family. A fenced yard would be a bonus, as he enjoys exploring, though he's not much of a long-walk kind of guy (he can be a little stubborn and may need a lift home!).
Jag does have a spinal condition (common in Frenchies) that is being managed with medication, as well as arthritis in his shoulders. He will need ongoing medication and joint supplements to keep him comfortable and thriving.
This sweet, resilient boy is ready to leave his past behind and find a loving home where he can finally relax, feel safe, and be someone's constant companion.
To apply for Jag, go to Adoption Application or if you are pre-approved, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. His adoption fee is $300. |

Meet Bonnie!
This gorgeous 4-year-old brindle pug is looking for a family to call her own.
Bonnie came to GMPR after her beloved owner was diagnosed with a terminal illness and lovingly made the difficult decision to find her a safe future. While Bonnie's world was turned upside down, she has shown us what a truly sweet and gentle soul she is.
When Bonnie first arrived, she was understandably nervous and unsure. New people and new surroundings can be scary! But every day, she gains a little more confidence and lets her adorable personality shine through.
Housebroken? Yes!
Crate-trained? Absolutely! Her crate is her happy place.
Dog-friendly? Yes, with respectful pups who give her space.
Cats? Mostly ignored... unless she feels like attempting a slow-motion chase.
Car rides? She'll tolerate them, but she'd rather be home on the couch!
Bonnie is what we lovingly call a "house hippo" equal parts adorable, snuggly, and committed to the fine art of relaxation. While she enjoys the occasional toy or short burst of playtime, her dream home includes a comfy recliner, a predictable routine, and people who will let her settle in at her own pace.
This sweet girl isn't looking for perfection. She's looking for patience, kindness, and a family willing to show her that her best days are still ahead.
Bonnie is only available to pre-approved applicants that have completed our approval process and have an active application on file. Please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org to get on her list. We are not accepting new applications at this time. Her adoption fee is $425. |

***ON HOLD***
Meet Maddie - Professional Snuggler, Neighborhood Explorer, and Kiss Distributor Extraordinaire!
At 5 years old, Maddie has already experienced more change than any dog should. After the passing of her beloved owner, this sweet girl found her way to Green Mountain Pug Rescue. While losing her family was heartbreaking, Maddie has shown everyone that her loving spirit remains as bright as ever.
From the moment she arrived in foster care, Maddie made herself right at home. She's a curious little detective who loves padding from room to room, sniffing every corner and making sure everything is exactly as it should be. When she's not on patrol, she's busy handing out kisses, following her people around, and soaking up every bit of attention she can get.
Maddie loves neighborhood walks, backyard adventures, cozy naps, and plenty of attention. She's smart, knows her name, comes when called, and enjoys chewing on stuffy toys and bully sticks. She gets along great with the resident pug in her foster home but would also be happy as the center of attention in a home of her own. We haven't had the opportunity to see how she does with cats yet.
One of the sweetest things about Maddie is her polite nature. She seems to have come from a home where furniture privileges weren't encouraged, so instead of jumping onto the couch, she'll often sit at your feet and gaze up with those soulful pug eyes, patiently waiting for a scratch behind the ears and an invitation to cuddle.
Maddie has completed treatment for some minor issues and is feeling great. She's a loving, adaptable girl who is ready to be someone's devoted shadow and cherished companion.
Maddie's adoption fee is $375. |

Meet Olive!
If you've been searching for a professional snuggler, sunshine enthusiast, and all-around sweetheart, Olive may be your perfect match!
Olive came to Green Mountain Pug Rescue as an owner surrender along with four other dogs. Despite the changes in her life, this 1-year-old pug has remained the sweetest, softest little soul.
Short and stout like a tiny teapot with the cutest baby face, Olive is calm, affectionate, and happiest when she's close to her people. While she gets along wonderfully with other dogs, she'd much rather be your shadow than run with the pack. Her favorite place? Curled up right next to you - preferably touching you!
Loves sunbathing
Obsessed with fluffy squeaky toys
Excellent car rider
Great on leash
Champion cuddler
Super quiet and rarely barks
Occasionally "borrows" shoes to proudly carry around (but never chews them!)
Olive is doing great with her potty training and free ranges in her foster home without any destructive behaviors. She sleeps in bed with her foster family and likes to snuggle as close as possible - right up by your head if you'll let her!
When meeting new people, Olive greets them with the most adorable wiggly butt, and she recently stole everyone's heart at the vet with her sweet and gentle manners. She's up to date on vaccines, at a healthy weight, and ready to find the family she's been waiting for.
If you're looking for a loving companion who will happily spend her days soaking up sunshine and her nights cuddled close, Olive is ready to fill that role.
Could Olive be your perfect little shadow?
Olive is not available for new applicants. If you have an active adoption application on file and have been approved, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org to be placed on her list. Olive's adoption fee is $500. |

***AVAILABLE TO NEW & PRE-APPROVED APPLICANTS***
Meet Clyde
At 4 years old, Clyde is searching for a special forever home that will give him the patience, understanding, and love he deserves.
Clyde is not the kind of dog who will run up to every stranger looking for attention?and that's okay. This sweet boy is searching for someone who understands that some hearts take a little longer to open.
When Clyde first arrived in foster care, he was terrified and unsure of the world around him. With patience, consistency, and love, he has made tremendous progress and formed strong bonds with his foster family. Once he trusts you, Clyde becomes a devoted, affectionate "Velcro pug" who wants nothing more than to be by your side.
Clyde enjoys walks, outdoor adventures, treats, and spending time with his people. He is housebroken, gets along well with other dogs, and loves being part of the family. But Clyde also struggles with significant fear and anxiety around unfamiliar people. New faces, quick movements, loud noises, and unexpected interactions can be overwhelming for him, causing him to bark and react defensively when he feels frightened.
Because of this, Clyde is looking for a very specific forever home:
A quiet, low-traffic home with a predictable routine
No young children
Minimal loud noises, sudden movements, or frequent visitors
Patient adopters who understand fearful dogs
A family committed to continuing training and positive socialization to help build his confidence
Either as an only dog or with other calm, respectful dogs who won't overwhelm him
Clyde has already begun making progress and has shown that he is capable of learning that the world isn't such a scary place. His ideal adopter will see beyond his anxiety and recognize the loving, loyal companion underneath. With continued training, socialization, structure, and patience, Clyde has the potential to become an even more confident and secure dog.
This special boy isn't looking for a perfect family, he's looking for the right family. One that will celebrate his victories, support him through his challenges, and love him for exactly who he is.
If you are a pre-approved applicant and would like to be placed on Clyde's list, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. Clyde's adoption fee is $425. |

Meet Churro!
If you've ever dreamed of having a giant, cuddly potato who thinks carrying a toy around makes him the king of the world, then Churro may be your perfect match!
Churro is a 2-year-old Frugg (French Bulldog/Pug mix) with a heart as sweet as his name. This handsome 30-pound boy may have been shy when he first arrived in foster care, but once he settled in, his lovable personality began to shine.
Churro is a low-energy guy who enjoys the simple things in life: lounging around, soaking up the sunshine, playing with his toys, and, of course, snacks! He is incredibly food motivated and gets especially excited when he finds a toy, bone, shoe, or sock to proudly parade around the house. He absolutely loves being told what a good boy he is?and trust us, he hears it often!
This easygoing sweetheart is house-trained, crate-trained, and adapts well to new situations. While he can be a little nervous in the car and isn't quite sure about leash walking yet, he handles veterinary visits like a perfect gentleman.
Churro is described by his foster family as loving, kind, happy-go-lucky, and very easy to live with. He gets along well with other dogs and is content to let them take charge while he happily follows along. When playtime is over, his favorite place to be is snuggled up with his people.
If you're looking for a gentle companion who will make you smile every day with his goofy charm, adorable face, and endless supply of cuddles, Churro may be the missing piece of your family.
Churro is currently only available to pre-approved applicants with an active adoption application file. We are not accepting new applications at this time. If you are pre-approved and would like to be added to his list, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. His adoption fee is $500. |

Meet Bunny!
If you're looking for a dog who wakes up every morning ready to take on the world, Bunny is your girl!
Bunny is a 2-year-old Frugg (French Bulldog/Pug mix) who is packed full of personality, energy, and enthusiasm. While she was initially shy and quiet when she arrived in foster care, it didn't take long for her true self to emerge and now she's living life at full speed!
This smart, beautiful girl is always ready for her next adventure. Whether it's playing, running, jumping, exploring the yard, enjoying a tasty snack, or showering her people with affection, Bunny approaches everything with excitement and determination. Her foster family describes her as high-energy, agile, persistent, and incredibly food motivated which means she's always eager to learn and already knows how to sit!
Bunny is also the self-appointed supervisor of the household. She likes to keep a close eye on her brother and can often be found "herding" him around to make sure everyone is where they're supposed to be. She's confident, attentive, and always wants to be part of the action.
Despite her busy schedule of fun and adventures, Bunny has wonderful house manners. She is house-trained, crate-trained, and does well at the vet, where she behaves like a perfect lady. She gets along respectfully with other dogs and enjoys both playtime and cuddle time with her people.
Bunny is searching for a family that will appreciate her zest for life, keep her active, and give her plenty of opportunities to burn off energy and show off her smarts. In return, she'll provide endless entertainment, unconditional love, and enough personality to keep you smiling every day.
If you're ready for a loyal sidekick who is equal parts athlete, comedian, and cuddle bug, Bunny is ready to hop right into your heart!
Bunny is currently only available to pre-approved applicants with an active adoption application file. We are not accepting new applications at this time. If you are pre-approved and would like to be added to her list, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. Her adoption fee is $500. |

Meet Skye
For the first four years of her life, Skye knew very little kindness.
This beautiful French Bulldog came all the way from Miami, Florida, where she was used as a backyard breeding dog. Instead of being loved as a family member, she spent her days outside in the Florida heat, often without proper food, water, comfort, or care. Her purpose was simply to produce puppies.
But those days are finally behind her.
Today, Skye is safe with Green Mountain Pug Rescue and getting her first taste of what every dog deserves?a soft bed, full belly, gentle hands, and people who care about her.
Despite everything she's endured, Skye continues to show us just how resilient dogs can be. She has a sweet spirit, gets along well with other dogs, and absolutely loves her people. She is slowly learning that the world isn't such a scary place when you're surrounded by love.
Now it's Skye's turn.
Her turn to be spoiled.
Her turn to be cherished.
Her turn to be someone's best friend.
We can't change the first chapter of Skye's story, but together we can help write an incredible ending.
Please help us welcome Skye to GMPR and show her that the rest of her life will be filled with love, comfort, and happiness.
Welcome to your new life, Skye. We promise the best is yet to come.
If you are interested in being added to her list, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. Her adoption fee is $425. |

***AVAILABLE TO PRE-APPROVED APPLICANTS ONLY***
Meet Oni!
If you're looking for a best friend who will always be by your side, 3-year-old Oni is ready to fill that role!
This handsome black pug is the definition of a sweetheart. Oni gets along wonderfully with other dogs, loves meeting new people, and has never met a lap he didn't want to sit beside. His favorite place in the world is right next to his person, and he'll happily spend his day following you around and soaking up all the love you have to give.
Oni is house-trained, well-mannered, and has no food or toy aggression. He enjoys playing ball, carrying his toys around, and then settling in for snuggles. His foster family describes him as a mellow, easy-going little guy who has been an absolute joy to have in their home.
Because Oni loves companionship so much, he would do best with a family where someone is home most of the time. Another friendly dog would be great, but his biggest wish is simply to have a family of his own to love.
Friendly with other dogs
House-trained
Loves toys and cuddles
Sweet, social personality
Professional shadow and snuggle expert
Oni has so much love to give and is patiently waiting for his happily ever after.
We are currently not accepting new adoption applications for Oni at this time. If you have an active adoption application on file and are approved to be added to his list, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. His adoption fee is $425. |

Meet Mabel - A Beautiful Merle Frenchie Looking for Her Forever Home!
Say hello to Mabel, a gorgeous 3-year-old Merle French Bulldog with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and the cutest little face you'll ever see!
Mabel is settling beautifully into foster care and has quickly shown everyone what a fun, loving companion she is. While she can be a little shy when meeting new people (especially at the vet), once she's home and comfortable, her playful and affectionate personality shines. She absolutely loves being with her people and is happiest wherever you are?whether that's riding shotgun on a car adventure, curled up beside you on the couch, or claiming the extra pillow behind your head at bedtime!
This sweet girl has been doing great with her housetraining and so far no accidents. She sits patiently for treats, waits her turn, walks nicely on a leash (though she'd much rather avoid the summer heat!), and loves running around the yard. Because she enjoys chasing little critters like baby bunnies, a securely fenced yard is preferred.
Mabel gets along well with her foster pug siblings and loves to play, but she does think every toy, ball, and bone belongs to her! ?? She would do well as an only dog where she can soak up all the attention, or with another easygoing dog that doesn't mind sharing the spotlight or the toys.
She's also wonderful in the car and is always excited to see her "to-go" gear come out because it means she's headed on another adventure with her favorite person. Wherever you go, Mabel wants to go too.
Because Mabel loves being close to her people, she would thrive in a home where someone is around much of the time. She has done well with older children but can be enthusiastic and jump up when she's excited, so a home with older, dog-savvy kids may be the best fit.
Mabel is not available for new applications at this time. If you are a pre-approved applicant with an active application on file, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. Mabel's adoption fee is $425. |
