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 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 $250.

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 $250.

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 $250.

Please note: Due to strict rules and regulations, we are currently unable to accept applications from Massachusetts residents.

***ADOPTION PENDING***

Meet Penny — A Senior with a Puppy Heart

Penny is a 9-year-old fawn pug who acts more like a one-year-old than a senior! Petite at about 14 pounds, she loves to run, play, and toss her toys in the air. Outside, she zooms happily and inside she enjoys cozy time — especially watching TV (animals on screen are her favorite!).

Penny is house-trained with no accidents, rides great in the car, sleeps in bed, and thrives on routine. She’s very smart, knows basic commands, and listens closely when spoken to — complete with adorable head tilts. She can be sensitive at first and is still learning that cuddles are safe, but she continues to make wonderful progress with patience and consistency.

Because Penny is fast and curious, a securely fenced-in yard is required, and her adopter should be mindful of doors. She can live with older, dog-savvy children and would do well with a calm, submissive dog, or she can happily be the only dog. She may get excited around unfamiliar dogs, so controlled walks are best.

Penny is awaiting her spay and will be receiving a dental as part of her care.

Sweet, funny, and full of energy, Penny is proof that age is just a number. She’s ready for a loving home that will appreciate her playful spirit and big personality.

If you think you and Penny 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 $300.

Meet Otis & Parker

Otis (8 years old) and Parker (7 years old) are a lovable, bonded pair of black pugs looking for a home together. They came to rescue after their owner passed away and are now ready to settle into a loving forever home.

These gentle boys are cooperative, affectionate, and know basic commands like sit and come. They thrive on their free time, love snuggling under weighted blankets, and are content little snorers after a day of play and affection.

For house training, they do best crated when you?re gone for longer periods or overnight, it's been a helpful tool in keeping them happy and safe. They manage short absences well and are comfortable being out and about for errands, but upstairs isn?t their preferred space yet. Outside of house training, they're excellent little house guests.

They get along well with other dogs and cats, ride nicely in the car, and are currently living successfully with older kids. Both boys are fully vetted, neutered, up to date on vaccines, and ready for their forever home.

If you?re looking for double the love, cuddles, and charm, Otis and Parker could be the perfect pair for your home.

If you are interested in Otis and Parker and have an active, approved application on file please email our adoption coordinator, Amy, at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org or submit an adoption application here. Their adoption fee is $675.

Meet Moe & Larry - the sweetest father-son duo!

Moe (5) & Larry (8) are Boston Terrier/Pug mixes who are truly inseparable, they nap, play, and snuggle together every day. Moe has mastered the doggy door, while Larry is still learning but loves cuddles and snow adventures (he even eats it!).

Both are potty trained, wear belly bands as they adjust to new surroundings, and are great with other dogs. They love belly rubs, sleep through the night in bed, and free roam calmly when left alone. They're on a reduced-calorie diet to reach a healthier weight, are up to date on vaccines, and have no food aggression.

Double the love, double the snuggles!

To inquire about Moe and Larry, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org or submit an adoption application here. Their adoption fee is $500.
