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 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 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. |

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. |

Meet Momo & Barron!
Double the pugs. Double the love. Double the snuggles.
These 7-year-old bonded black pug brothers have spent their entire lives together, and now they're looking for a forever family who will love them both just as much as they love each other.
Barron is the confident, outgoing big brother who greets everyone with a wagging tail and a happy smile. He loves walks, treats, and making sure Momo knows everything is going to be okay.
Momo is the sweet, gentle soul of the pair. He can be a little shy at first, but once he trusts you, he's incredibly affectionate. His favorite place in the world? Right next to Barron. Watching these two cuddle and seeing Barron give Momo little kisses will absolutely melt your heart.
These boys are everything you could ask for:
Great with other dogs
Friendly and affectionate
Excellent at the vet
Wonderful on leash walks
Quiet travelers in the car
Love cuddles and being close to their people
No food or toy aggression (although Barron does think everyone's dinner belongs to him!)
They're making great progress with house training and thrive on a consistent routine. Because they adore being with their people, they'd do best in a home where someone is around much of the day. Whether they're following you from room to room, soaking up the sunshine, or snuggled together for a nap, these boys simply want to be loved.
Some bonds are forever... and Momo and Barron's is one of them. If you open your heart to these two, you'll receive twice the loyalty, twice the laughs, and twice the love.
Momo and Barron are not available to new applicants currently. If you are pre-approved and have an active adoption application on file, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org to be added to their list. Their adoption fee is $750. |

Meet Scooby!
If you're looking for a loyal best friend who will stick by your side, Scooby may be your perfect match!
Scooby is a 9-year-old Puggle whose journey hasn't been an easy one. After being abandoned in the woods, he was rescued by a kind Good Samaritan who gave him a safe place to land. While Scooby was a wonderful companion, it became clear he wasn't comfortable sharing food around young children or other pets, so Green Mountain Pug Rescue stepped in to help him find the home that fits him best.
This handsome guy is incredibly smart, well-trained, and eager to please. Despite having limited vision, Scooby navigates the world with confidence and prefers to stay close to his people. Tell him he's a good boy and you'll have a friend for life!
His foster family absolutely adores him and describes him as a true gentleman. Scooby is:
House-trained
Loves car rides (especially with his head out the window!)
Wonderful at the vet
Crate trained
Affectionate and loves being close to his people
Smart and eager to learn
Scooby does have one special requirement. He is very food motivated and resource guards his food, so he will need:
To be fed separately from other pets
A home without young children
Outside of mealtime, Scooby is a sweet, loving companion who simply wants a family to call his own. After everything he's been through, he deserves a home that will never let him down again.
Could you be the one to give Scooby the happy ending he's been waiting for?
If you are a pre-approved applicants with an active adoption application on file, please email Amy at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. If you would like to submit an adoption application for Scooby, go to our adoption application. Scooby?s adoption fee is $250. |
