Available Dogs

***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 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.

Wally the Wild West Wigglebutt!

Saddle up, friends—because Wally, our 1-year-old fawn pug from Texas, has strutted into GMPR with more charm, silliness, and zoomies than we ever expected! This little Lone Star lover is ready to trade cowboy boots for cozy blankets and find a forever family to call his own.

When Wally first trotted into his foster home, he went straight into detective mode—sniffing every inch, investigating every corner, and immediately introducing himself to his foster dog sister, Sally. Cats? Well… he thinks they’re potential new BFFs. The cats disagree, but we admire his optimism.

Wally is ALL about fun. He’s full of playful energy, enthusiastic zooms, and the kind of silliness that keeps everyone laughing. He’s fallen in love with toys—even though he had no idea what they were at first—and he never guards food or treats. This boy is a sharer, not a hoarder!

He’s also a total kid magnet. Wally adores his foster family’s granddaughters (ages 8 and 10) and happily runs, jumps, and plays with them all day long. If there’s fun to be had, Wally wants in.

House training is still a work in progress, but he’s learning quickly with a consistent routine. He sleeps in a crate, goes in easily, and stays cozily crated when left alone. Car rides are fine—getting in the car is the part he’s still negotiating.

This handsome Texan does have one fear: loud noises. Big sounds make him nervous, so he’ll need a family who can help him feel safe and build his confidence over time. With patience and love, his little heart will shine even brighter.

Wally is looking for a home that offers:
  • Lots of playtime and laughter
  • Patience for training and confidence building
  • A fun dog friend or kids to run with (bonus points for both!)
  • A cozy crate, a gentle hand, and endless affection
Wally is sweet, silly, and full of life. If you’re dreaming of a goofy sidekick with Texas-sized charm, Wally is ready to gallop straight into your arms—and your heart.

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

Meet Uncle Squash!

Looking for a sweet, silly shadow who wants to be part of every adventure? Squash is your guy! This charming 5-year-old pug settled into home life instantly—exploring, lounging in the coziest spots, and making himself right at home.

Squash is a social butterfly with other animals—he plays with dogs, lounges with cats, and even treats a tortoise like family. He’s fully housebroken, crate trained, car-friendly, and a total gentleman.

He’s easygoing, loves being handled (nail trims, baths, ear cleaning—no problem!), and isn’t possessive over toys or food. His favorite lamb toy? Carried around like treasure. He even snores a little… like your funniest uncle.

Squash does well with kids, knows basic commands, and follows his people everywhere—your perfect little shadow. He’d thrive in a home where someone’s around most of the time, ready to give him love and attention.

If you’re looking for a playful, loving companion who just wants to be by your side, Squash is ready to steal your heart (and maybe your lamb-shaped toys)!

If you think you and Squash might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. His adoption fee is $375.

Meet Papito: The Tiny Tornado of Cuddles!

This 3-month-old Bugg (Boston Terrier/Pug mix) came all the way from Texas and immediately claimed his throne as king of zoomies, snuggles, and toy chaos. From the second he landed, he’s been bouncing, wrestling with his dog buddy, and investigating every corner like a tiny furry detective.

Papito is a social superstar—he loves dogs, is intrigued by cats (even if they give him the side-eye), and melts for kids. He’s not picky about toys, treats, or food—he’s a sharer, not a hoarder. And yes, he’s a certified Velcro pup: if you leave the room, he’s right there following you, ready to snuggle.

Housebreaking is a work in progress, but don’t worry—he’s got the “run outside, do your business, then sprint back for cuddles” strategy down perfectly. Car rides? Usually nap city. Crate time? Not his vibe—he prefers your lap, your bed, or literally anywhere you are.

Papito would thrive in a home where someone is around all day to laugh at his silly antics, shower him with love, and occasionally rescue your socks from his playful jaws. Looking for a tiny tornado of love, laughs, and puppy energy? Papito’s ready to zoom straight into your heart (and your laundry basket).

If you think you and Papito might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. His adoption fee is $550.

***AVAILABLE TO PRE-APPROVED APPLICANTS ONLY***

Meet Chunky: The Zoomie King of Goofiness!

This 6-month-old fawn pug came all the way from Texas with his sister Chiki, and he’s already stealing hearts with his silly antics and treat-fueled tricks. Chunky LOVES zoomies, toys, and snuggles—but only after he’s burned off that endless pug energy!

And then… there’s the eyes. When Chunky gets really excited—like spotting a toy, treat, or your feet—his eyes go full cartoon mode: wide, wild, and completely hilarious. One look at those crazy eyes and you’ll instantly start laughing (and probably giving him that treat he’s begging for).

He’s a social superstar: gets along with other dogs, is curious and chill around cats, and adores kids. Smart, goofy, and a little mischievous, Chunky is always ready for a game, a cuddle, or a hilarious head tilt.

House training is a work in progress, but he’s learning quickly and will thrive with a consistent routine.

Chunky would do best in an active home where someone is around most of the time to take him on adventures, play with him, and cheer on his trick attempts. Bonus points if there’s a dog or kids around to keep up with his energy!

Looking for a lap-loving, zoomie-zapping, toy-chasing, silly sidekick with unforgettable “crazy eyes”? Chunky’s your guy!

If you think you and Chunky might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. His adoption fee is $550.

Meet Chiki — The Snuggly Speed Racer!

Chiquita, affectionately known as Chiki, is a 6-month-old fawn pug who arrived at GMPR with her brother Chunky through our Texas rescue partnership. From the moment she entered her foster home, she made her presence known. She burst through the door, zipped around the room, and sniffed everything within reach like she had an urgent investigation to conduct. Confident and curious, she greeted the resident dogs with friendly sniffs and happily settled in without a hint of fear.

Chiki is a loving, clingy little shadow who wants nothing more than to be close to her humans. She sleeps in bed with her foster family, often curled around their pillows or snuggled right against their necks. For such a young pug, she’s remarkably tolerant—she allows her paws, ears, and mouth to be handled with ease, making grooming a breeze. She’s also a generous soul who shares toys, treats, and space with her foster brother Ollie without any guarding behaviors.

House training is going well for her age. She has already learned to go to the door when she needs outside and has only had a few accidents, many of which seemed to be the result of copying her foster brother’s habits—good and bad. She’s a smart little mimic who benefits from having another young, well-mannered dog around to follow.

Car rides are still a bit intimidating for her. She’s only been on a couple so far and finds them scary, but with more short, positive trips, she’ll gain confidence. She has also visited the vet, where she was vocal and anxious at first but ultimately handled everything just fine.

Chiki has met young children, including her foster family’s seven-year-old nephews, and did very well with them aside from normal puppy jumpiness. When left home, she stays in the main living areas and remains content as long as one of the “boys” (the resident dogs) accompanies her.

She hasn’t yet been introduced to large dogs or cats, so those remain unknowns, but what we do know is that Chiki is full of love, energy, and heart. She thrives on closeness and play and will do best in a home with another young dog who can be her buddy, role model, and partner in mischief.

If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly, slightly clingy puppy who will race into your life with joy and curl up on your pillow each night, Chiki may be the perfect addition to your family.

If you think you and Chiki might be the perfect match, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. Please note, we are not currently accepting new applications for Chiki at this time. Her adoption fee is $550.
