***AVAILABLE TO NEW AND PREVIOUSLY APPROVED APPLICANTS***

Meet Roscoe! This 6-year-old Min Pin/Pug mix is a smart, loyal, and hilarious little guy who’s ready to find his forever home. He’s house trained, loves car rides, fetch, and couch snuggles, and puts his whole heart into loving his person.

Roscoe has some food sensitivities and is currently thriving on a homemade diet. He’s also a resource guarder when it comes to food, toys, and especially his person. For that reason, he’ll do best in a home with no young kids and either as the only dog—or possibly with a very submissive canine companion.

He recently attended the GMPR Pug Social and was the perfect gentleman with everyone he met, showing just how charming and lovable he can be. He’s highly trainable, enjoys walks and playtime, and was even a fan favorite at his last vet visit.

Roscoe will thrive with structure, patience, and someone who appreciates his quirky personality. In return, he’ll give you endless loyalty, laughter, and love.

If you're a previously approved applicant and would like to learn more about Roscoe, please reach out to our Adoption Coordinator directly at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. If you're new to GMPR (welcome!), please submit an adoption application here. His adoption fee is $375.

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. Her adoption fee is $500.

Meet Winston!

This charming 5-year-old Puggle made his way to New England all the way from Texas, and he’s ready to find his forever family! Winston is a happy, energetic boy who loves to play and explore. When he first arrived in his foster home, he excitedly dashed around checking out every corner and quickly made friends with the resident dogs.

Winston is social and playful with dogs his size or smaller, but he can be a bit nervous around big dogs, so a home without large canine companions would be ideal for him. He loves every treat he can get his paws on and doesn’t guard his food or toys—he’s a true gentleman when it comes to sharing.

This sweet boy enjoys his walks (though he could use a little practice with the leash) and would thrive with an active adopter who can take him on daily adventures. He sleeps best snuggled in bed with his humans and is crate-trained when left alone. Winston has also done well meeting children and loves making new friends.

Full of personality and affection, Winston is looking for someone who can keep up with his fun-loving energy and give him the love he so deserves.

If you think you and Winston might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org or submit an online adoption application here. His adoption fee $375.

Meet Capone!

If you’re looking for a new best friend—or a best friend for your best friend—Capone might just be your guy! This 1-year-old fawn Pug came to us all the way from Mexico through one of our rescue partnerships, and he’s been winning hearts ever since. His adventures may have started south of the border, but he’s ready to keep the good times rolling right here in Vermont!

Capone is a curious, confident, and endlessly entertaining little guy who’s up for anything life throws his way. Need someone to supervise you in the bathroom? He’s your man. A taste tester for that new recipe? He’s overqualified. Copilot and navigator for your trip to the grocery store or family reunion? He’s already got his seatbelt on.

This young pug loves everyone he meets—big dogs, small dogs, kids, and people alike. He’s even curious about cats, though the resident kitty in his foster home isn’t quite ready to return his enthusiasm. Capone adores his daily walks with his foster brother Roger and enjoys a good play session with his toys.

He’s still got a little puppy energy but is easily redirected when he gets too rambunctious. Housebreaking is going great—he’s a fast learner and doesn’t need a belly band with an attentive human. He’s crate trained, sleeps through the night, and is gentle when taking treats (which, by the way, are his absolute favorite!). Capone is already mastering “sit” and “hold,” and would love to keep learning with his forever family.

With his big personality and clownish charm, Capone is the kind of pug who brings laughter and love wherever he goes. He’s ready for his next adventure.

If you think you and Capone might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. Please note, we are not accepting new applications for Capone at this time. Her adoption fee is $500.

Meet Luna – A Spirited Little Pug with a Big Heart!

Luna is a 1-year-old black pug bursting with puppy energy, curiosity, and charm! She came to GMPR alongside her buddy Prince, and together they’ve brought joy and laughter to their foster home. While the two have been sharing adventures, Luna is confident and independent enough to thrive on her own or with another friendly dog as a playmate.

Luna loves exploring her surroundings, playing with toys, and chewing on bones. She’s a social girl who enjoys meeting new people and has been wonderful with her foster family’s kids. Her play can be enthusiastic at times—she may give a little playful nip—but it’s all in good fun and easily redirected.

At home, Luna is crate trained and settles quickly when asked to go in. She’s mostly housebroken, though she’s still perfecting her routine. Luna travels calmly in the car and has great mobility—she can even clear a two-foot gate with ease!

Luna would be happiest with an active family who can keep up with her playful spirit and provide the love and structure a young pug needs. She’ll reward you with endless affection, goofy antics, and a lifetime of loyalty.

If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic companion to brighten your days, Luna is ready to steal your heart—and probably your spot on the couch!

if you think you and Luna might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. Please note, we are not accepting new applications for Luna at this time. Her adoption fee is $500.

Meet Prince – A Charming Companion with a Playful Spirit!

Prince is a handsome 2-year-old black pug who arrived at GMPR with his friend Luna. From the moment he stepped into his foster home, this confident little guy was ready to explore and make himself at home. He’s a curious and affectionate pug who loves people, playtime, and being part of the action.

Prince has a fun-loving personality and a healthy dose of typical pug mischief. He adores toys and treats, and he’s happy to share—no guarding here! He’s been great with his foster family’s kids (ages 8, 10, and 14) and would do well in a home with children or another friendly dog to keep him company.

Like many pugs, Prince is still working on his house training. He tends to mark indoors, so his foster family keeps him in a male wrap when inside. With patience and consistency, this is something he can continue to improve on. He rides calmly in the car, goes into his crate willingly, and settles quickly when asked.

Prince is an energetic young pug who enjoys playtime and companionship but also loves to relax once he’s had his fun. He’s looking for a forever family that will enjoy his affectionate nature, help him continue his training, and include him in daily adventures.

If you’re searching for a loyal, happy-go-lucky companion who’s equal parts charm and goofiness, Prince might just be your perfect match!

f you think you and Prince might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. Please note, we are not accepting new applications for Prince at this time. Her adoption fee is $500.

Meet Bendito – From the Streets of Mexico to the Search for His Forever Home!

Say hola to Bendito, a 1-year-old Puggle with a heart as big as his journey! This sweet boy came all the way from Mexico through GMPR’s partnership with a Texas pug rescue, along with his brother Frito. Before arriving in New England, the pair spent months in a shelter after surviving on the streets—and now Bendito is ready for the loving home he’s always deserved.

Bendito is a gentle soul who may be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him time and patience, and you’ll quickly see his affectionate and loyal side shine through. Once he feels safe, he’s all love, cuddles, and tail wags! He especially adores children and would thrive in a home where he can share his playful energy.

He’s still perfecting his house training, but with consistency and encouragement, we’re confident he’ll catch on quickly. Bendito would do best in a home with another young dog to play with and help build his confidence.

After everything he’s been through, Bendito is ready to start his next chapter filled with love, playtime, and stability. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who just needs a little patience and a lot of heart, Bendito is waiting to meet you!

If you think you and Bendito might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org or submit an online adoption application here. His adoption fee is $500.

Meet Frito – A Gentle Soul with a Big Heart and a Brave Spirit!

Say hello to Frito, a 1-year-old Puggle whose journey to GMPR is nothing short of incredible. Along with his brother Bendito, Frito traveled all the way from Mexico through our rescue partnership in Texas. Before that, the two spent months in a shelter after surviving on the streets—proof of just how resilient these little adventurers are!

Frito is a shy guy at first and may take a little longer to warm up than his brother, but once he feels safe, his sweet and loving personality begins to shine. He’s gentle, kind-hearted, and quietly affectionate—one of those special dogs whose love feels extra meaningful because he’s learned to trust.

Frito enjoys the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with another young, friendly pup to help build his confidence and show him the ropes. He’s still working on his house training but is making progress and will continue to improve with patience and consistency.

After everything he’s endured, Frito is ready for a forever family who will give him the love, reassurance, and gentle guidance he deserves. If you have room in your heart (and your home) for a sweet companion who just needs a little time to bloom, Frito will reward you with endless loyalty and quiet joy.

If you think you and Frito might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org or submit an online adoption application here. His adoption fee is $500.
