***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.

***AVAILABLE TO NEW & PRE-APPROVED APPLICANTS***
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.
Please note: Due to strict rules and regulations, we are currently unable to accept applications from Massachusetts residents.

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

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.

Meet Molly
Molly is a beautiful 7-year-old black female pug with soulful eyes and a big heart for her person. She has spent most of her life in one home and is now looking for a calm, loving adopter who understands the loyalty that can come with pugs.
Molly is housebroken when kept on a consistent schedule, crate trained, and does well riding in the car. She enjoys lounging on the couch and has been comfortable sleeping in her crate at night. She’s accustomed to a fenced yard and enjoys regular outdoor time. Molly allows handling for things like ear cleaning and face washing, and she’s happy to let you take toys, treats, or food without issue.
Molly is good with other dogs and cats and can do well in a home with older, dog-savvy children who understand how to respectfully interact with dogs. She would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time, as she enjoys companionship and being part of daily life.
In her previous home, Molly was described as being protective of her person. Her foster family has not experienced this behavior, but her ideal adopter should be comfortable recognizing and addressing protective behaviors if they were to arise, using calm, consistent guidance.
Molly is scheduled for a dental on January 9 and will be ready for adoption once she has recovered.
For the right family, Molly will be a loving, loyal companion who enjoys being close to her people and part of everyday life. If you’re looking for a sweet, mature pug to welcome into your home, Molly may be the perfect match.
If you are interested in adopting Molly, please email our adoption coordinator at Amy.Frye@gmpr.org. Please note, we are not accepting new applications for Molly at this time. Her adoption fee is $375.

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 (7 years old) and Parker (8 years old) are a bonded pair of sweet black pugs looking for a home together. They came to rescue after their owner passed away and are ready to settle into a loving home after a recent stay in boarding.
These gentle boys can be a bit anxious in new places and will need time to decompress, patience with housetraining (Parker especially), and lots of reassurance. They prefer not to be crated or locked in a room and do best with appropriate freedom and routine. A fenced yard would be a bonus!
They get along well with other dogs, ride great in the car, and are currently living with older kids and doing well. Cats are unknown. Both boys are neutered, up to date on vaccines, and will need a dental (very common for pugs their age).
If you?re looking for double the love and have the time and heart for this deserving duo, Otis & Parker may be your perfect match.
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. Their adoption fee is $675.
