Meet Disco – A Sweet, Cuddly, and Energetic 2-Year-Old Puggle Looking for His Forever Home! Disco is an adorable male puggle with a love for cuddles and playing fetch with his favorite ball. This adorable little guy is energetic, active, and loves his outdoor walks and playtime.
Before joining GMPR, Disco had a rough patch. He was involved in a dog fight where he was bitten by another dog, and during the chaotic separation, he bit a shelter worker. This was understandable given the situation. There was another instance where he showed some aggression during feeding time when multiple pets were around, which his previous owner attributed to anxiety related to having other pets in the home.
Since coming into our care, Disco has been fostered with other dogs and has shown no signs of aggression. He’s a foodie at heart, and with good practice, he's fed separately from other pets in his foster home—no issues to date. He respects the dominant female in the house and allows her to rule the roost. He happily shares his toys and even enjoys a good game of tug-o-war. Disco is housebroken and knows how to communicate when he needs to go out, and his foster mom reports no accidents in the home. Disco thrives in a calm and structured environment. He can get nervous in new surroundings, but with a patient, dog-savvy owner who understands how to help him adjust, Disco settles in beautifully. He interacts well with children but would do best in a home with kids over the age of 10. Although he prefers not to be picked up until he trusts you (again, always good practice), but once he does trust you Disco is all about love and attention.
We believe that, like most dogs, Disco’s behavior is greatly influenced by his environment. In his current foster home, which is quiet and has a steady routine, he’s been an absolute joy. He would do well in a home with another calm but playful companion, or he can be the only pet. A quieter household with experienced caregivers would provide the stability and support Disco needs for a successful transition.
Disco is a wonderful dog who just needs the right environment. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion and think your home could be the right fit for Disco, please submit an adoption application. Disco's adoption fee is $500.

Meet Esmeralda!!! Our little Esme is a 10-month-old female pup who came into our care after her previous owner felt uncertain about raising a blind dog. Upon arriving at her foster home, Esme took a few days to settle in and build her confidence, but once she felt safe, her sweet personality began to shine. Living with cats and dogs, Esme quickly learned to love the company of her furry foster siblings. Esme is incredibly intelligent and learns quickly, she’s improving every day. She sits atop the back of the couch with her foster siblings looking out the window as if she can see. She doesn't realize she has "opportunities"; she bounds through her foster home during playtime with reckless abandon. Although a bit clumsy due to the darn furniture and whatnot tending to get in the way, she's thick skinned and just keeps charging along. She adores playing and is always ready for some fun! Don't let a little thing like sight fool you! Despite her blindness, she navigates her surroundings with ease. She's still a touch uncertain on a leash, but with patience and consistency, she'll master it like she has everything else. When it comes to treats, toys or bones, Esme can be a little guarded. Common behavior in dogs with limited or no vision, they get "spirited" if they feel there is a threat of a thief. However, she responds to correction and is learning that sharing is caring.
Esme is also a big fan of being touched and handled, she happily accepts and seeks cuddle time with her person. She's continuing to work on her house-training, her foster mom keeps her to a consistent schedule and she's a quick study and her foster mom keeping her to a schedule is a big help in praising good behavior. Car rides are still a bit scary for her, likely because the movement feels unpredictable without her sight.
Esme would do best in a home with another equally matched, playful & confident pet, one that will check her if she starts with all that "I'm blind and will challenge you over a bone" nonsense.. Cats are ok and children aged 10+ who can understand her special needs. She’s learning to navigate stairs but, understandably, finds them challenging due to her blindness. With a bit of guidance, she does great, though a home without stairs (or only a few) inside or to the yard would be ideal. She is eager to adapt, loves attention. Esme may be blind, but she doesn’t let that stop her from living life to the fullest. She’s simply looking for a loving home where she can continue to blossom. We're looking for a special home for this precious little girl. If you’re ready to open your heart to this sweet, brave little pup, Esme can't wait to meet you!! Esme is ready to move on to her forever home, her adoption fee is $550.

Like peanut butter and jelly, peas and carrots or couch cushions and pug hair.....these ladies are NOT sold separately, but batteries ARE included...
Meet Pugnelope & Leela, a perfectly mismatched-yet-meant-to-be pair of fawn-colored chaos goblins who came into our care together and haven’t spent a day apart. We’re pretty sure Pugnelope is Leela’s mama, partly because she’s got a strong mothering instinct, and partly because Leela still tries to nurse on her (yes, really). Pugnelope is a 3-4-year-old, 16 lb leap-froggin', joy-jumpin', love-hoggin’ little spark plug with a hilarious personality and zero self-restraint when it comes to sitting on inappropriate surfaces (TV trays? Yes. The top of her crate? Also yes. Your soul? Most definitely). She has bilateral patella luxation as do most pugs in rescue (that’s fancy talk for wobbly knees), but she’s spunky, springy, and shows no signs of mobility issues or slowing down. No surgery needed, just joint supplements to prevent arthritis in her senior years.. She’s great with other dogs, loves a good tug-o-war, and has an oddly specific passion for chip clips (you know, the ones you use to close a bag of Doritos?) Pugnelope is a “grab the treat and go hide in a corner” kind of gal. She’s not food possessive, just private about her snacking. She’s working on her house training like a champ and is consistent with her schedule. What she lacks in boundary awareness she makes up for in affection, silliness, and sass. Now, onto Leela...... A 1.5-2-year old pint-sized powerhouse at 11.7 lbs with a raisin eye (microphthalmia) and the belief that she can do anything..and honestly, she’s not wrong. Her eye has been evaluated and there is no surgery or special care required outside of the standard pug eye drops. Leela doesn’t miss a beat. She zooms, she plays, she snuggles. She’s got more heart than most humans and just enough mischief to keep you on your toes. She LOVES toys, adores her person, and also house training like a champ when kept to a schedule. Her current communication style involves humping, licking, or trying to nurse on mom—which is weird, but it’s her way of saying “I love you and I never learned boundaries.” She’ll need patient people and pets who are okay with her, uh, unique expressions of affection. Think of her as a very sweet, very determined toddler with paws.
Neither are wild about crates, both prefer their kibble with a little side of flair (don’t we all?), and are soaking up every drop of affection they can get. Their Ideal Home? A fenced yard would be great, kids over 7 that are dog savvy and respectful of boundaries, and a personal chef that can add that "BAAM" of flair to their daily menu.. These two are bonded in that deep, cosmic, hilarious way that only pugs can be. They’ve been through a lot together and deserve a home that’s ready to give them all the love, support, and snacks they’ve never had.
Adopt the pug pair you never knew you needed but now absolutely cannot live without. Interested and already approved? Reach out to our Adoption Coordinator. Need to apply? Apply here. Their adoption fee is $800.

Some dogs run into your arms immediately, and some take a little time to trust. Tater is the latter, but watching him slowly come out of his shell is pure magic. Tater is a 3-4-year-old fawn male pug, weighing 21 lbs, who arrived at his foster home a bit timid and unsure. He’s cautious by nature, but every day, he warms up a little more, revealing the sweet, loving pug beneath that hesitation. Tater isn’t the type to jump up for affection right away, patience is the way to his heart. He’ll shy away if you reach for him suddenly or from above, but if you sit with him and approach in his direct line of sight to offer affection, especially ear and face scratches...... he's found that to be very, very agreeable. At first, Tater was indifferent to the other pets in his foster home. He wasn’t sure about toys, and treats were a cautious affair. Tater is a bit more of a couch-paTater, but will engage in the pup antics. He slowly started watching, then joining in and chasing after his dog siblings as they played fetch. Even though he didn’t quite know what they were so excited about or where they were going, he still wanted to be a part of all the excitement. His speed leans a little more in the lap lounger with mutual dog grooming direction, but as he continues to gain his confidence, we're sure he'll figure out all the joy of playtime with his furry friends. Housebreaking is a work in progress, he wears a belly band to help with good potty habits and will need an adopter patient with training. He’s free to roam the living room and kitchen while his foster mom is away, and he’s been a perfect houseguest, no destructive or otherwise undesirable behavior. Although he preferred the "safety" of his dog bed for the first few nights, he has become quite fond of sleeping in bed with his foster mom at night. Tater finds comfort in canine companionship. He’d do well with another confident, calm and friendly dog to show him the ropes.
Tater is looking for a patient adopter who understands that trust isn’t immediate, but it’s so worth the wait. He’d do best in a home where someone is around most of the time, as he does show some separation anxiety. As well as another calm, confident dog to help him continue coming out of his shell. He has not been tested with cats or kids but we feel due to his gentle nature he'd do best in a home with dog-savvy children (10+) who understand to give him space and time to adjust. Dancing or running toddlers would not benefit his desire for a calm and patient introduction to his new environment. He may not be the life of the party (yet), but this boy has a heart of gold just waiting for the right person to unlock it. With time, love, and a little patience, Tater will make an incredibly loyal and loving companion to some lucky family. He will be ready to move on to his happy ever after soon. To learn more about him please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, his adoption fee is $425

Looking for a pint-sized companion with a big personality? Meet Tot, a 3-4-year-old fawn pug weighing in at a perfect 19 lbs. This little guy is packed with love, energy, and a touch of quirky charm! Tot was born with Microphthalmia, a genetic defect caused by a vitamin deficiency in early fetal development giving him a uniquely small eye. But don’t worry, it's not causing him any pain, it does not cause any hindrance on his ability to run, jump, play and live an active and full life, and there is no treatment required for him at this time. As with all pugs and their potential for eye concerns, just monitoring and regular checks at his annual visits to ensure no issues develop down the line. He has mild patella luxation in his left knee, again super common in pugs and not causing him any issues! A joint supplement will help to keep him spry for years to come. Tot is an outgoing, happy-go-lucky pug who settled into his foster home quickly. He loves playing with his canine foster siblings and enjoys small stuffed toys and chew bones. Surprisingly, this little guy adores playing in the snow! He’s a professional belly-rub receiver, an expert cuddler, and a top-tier window patrol officer.. keeping an eye on the world and sending out the occasional bark to ward off intruders. He’s working on his housebreaking manners; he's wearing a belly band as a helpful reminder and is making good progress. Tot is a welcome and respectful little house guest! He roams freely in the kitchen and living room when his foster mom is away and has been a perfect house guest with no destructive or undesirable behavior to report. He’s a cuddle bug who loves sleeping in bed with his foster mom. If Tot could use his magic paintbrush to paint a picture of his happy ever after, it would include you AND a canine sibling for companionship. Because Tot gets "concerned" when he cannot locate his person or his dog peeps, we're seeking a forever home for him where he has a playful pup for daily shenanigans and someone with a flexible schedule allowing them to be home more frequently. He has not been cat tested, and although he's not had experience while in our care with kids, due to his happy go lucky and playful nature, we think he'd be just fine with dog savvy kids (7+) that are respectful of boundaries.
If you’re ready for a sweet, playful, and sometimes-snow-loving pug who will bring endless joy and cuddles to your home, Tot is your guy! He will be ready to move on to his happy ever after soon. To learn more about him please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, his adoption fee is $425.
