On December 27, 2015, Maxine pug 95-15, was adopted by Emily Klupa of Essex, VT.
Emily lost her 10 year old pug earlier this year and has been waiting for the right pug to come along. She was hoping to get a middle aged pug who has not had a easy life. She wants to make a difference in the life of another pug. Maxi who has been used for breeding most of her life and was released to us from a breeder is just such a dog. Maxi although only 8 years old does not have a single tooth left. She had a golf ball size tumor hanging on her hind leg that needed to be surgically removed. Shy and skittish, she blossomed in her foster home. Congratulations Emily and Maxi - What a terrific way to start your New Year together!

On October 10, 2015, Sissy was adopted by Natalie Zaremba and Jaime Fuentes of Bloomfield, NJ.
As her number implies, Sissy has been with GMPR for a long time and was often over-looked by folks who didn't want a Pug Mix. Natalie met Sissy at the Pug Social and fell in love with her.

Sissy is fitting in perfectly-Natalie, Jamie and Sissy (along with Daniel the cat) are now a perfect family. I don’t think Sissy could have found a better family, it was meant to be.

Mickey is a 2 year old male pug who is strong and high energy. Mickey got himself into trouble because he is an indiscriminate eater of all things.

Now recovered, Mickey is a happy, healthy boy who will require constant supervision and a very neat household.

Wendy has been wanting a dog of her own for some time now and especially wants one she can walk with. Piki fills the bill!!

She seems to love her new Vermont home and cuddles with her new forever family any chance she gets. I've attached a picture, and as you can see, she's a happy girl! Thank you again! Molly Leach

Abella, Pug 48-15 and Stella, Pug 49-15 were adopted June 29, 2015 by the Sue Brennan/Greg Davis family of Montpelier, Vermont.
Abella and Stella came to GMPR through the Springfield, VT Humane Society with the understanding that they were a bonded pair. Abella is GMPR's first white pug and Stella is just the cutest little tank of a love bug.
Sue and her family were so eager to have a pug in their home they became a foster family and are currently fostering Lana. When this bonded pair came to GMPR, they were just what this family was waiting for; sweet natured and eager to cuddle and play with the family's two children, Scarlett and Cooper. We can't wait to see Abella (now named Blanche) and Stella at the Pug Social on Sept 15, 2015 in Killington, VT.

6-25-15 Jagger, pug #3-15 has been adopted by Frank Finnerty of Bridport, VT.
Jagger came to GMPR from a puppymill back in early January 2015. He was infested with heart worms and had to go through a long and difficult process to eliminate them. It was a months long process and Jagger endured it with Pug stoicism and tenacity. Meanwhile during the fostering process, we decided that Jagger was much more Bubba Gump than Jagger. His personality is so laid back and calm, he rarely displays "Moves like Jagger". Bubbie as he came to be known, has some puppymill issues. Housebroken is not something that we think he will ever grasp completely. Pugs don't come much cuter than Bubbie, or as endearing.
Frank has been a devoted supporter of GMPR for many years and is a complete pug person. He lost his last GMPR Alumni Pug, Curly about 15 months ago. He promised Curly that when he was ready, he would rescue another pug in his memory. Frank was ready, and Bubbie was also ready for his "furever" home. We couldn't be happier for them both.
We do expect to see Frank in the Pug Cafe at our Pug Social in September and Bubbie in the Alumni Parade.

Penelope, pug 23-15 was adopted 6/5/15 by Kathy Gagne of Hollis, NH.
Penelope came to GMPR 3 months ago in critical condition. She had lost a great deal of weight (she was only 11-8), could barely stand up and had stopped eating and drinking. Penelope was immediately hospitalized and after much testing, it was determined that she not only had a large liver shunt but also had atypical Addison?s disease (her adrenal glands were not functioning well). This frail little pug was put on a special home cooked diet and medication and after raising funds through a GoFundMe had surgery at Tufts in MA to correct the liver shunt. She came through the surgery with flying colors and very quickly started to improve and gain weight. Today, Penelope weighs 14-4, loves to play with toys and explore outdoors.
Kathy fell in love with Penelope from day 1 and has been monitoring her progress closely over the past 3 months, anxiously awaiting the day she could bring her home. Penelope will share a home with Tildie, Kathy's lab and will have everything she could possibly want or need including LOTS of love. We already have reports that Penelope has settled in well at her new home and is enjoying all the love and attention.
GMPR's motto is "Saving One Pug At A Time" - Penelope is a wonderful success story.
Thank you to all those that helped fund her surgery, Worcester Vet Clinic who cared for her during the initial critical days and throughout her recovery, Dr. Kudej at Tufts who did her surgery, and Dr. Denise Kelley the internist who cared for her there. This was a team effort with a wonderful outcome.
Congratulations Kathy. Hope you can make it to the Social in September.

5-29-15 Brady has been adopted by Nancy Brubaker of Concord NH. Nancy is a long time Volunteer and Foster Mom for GMPR. She lost her precious pug, Syd, in December and has been having a really difficult time with the loss. She knew she wanted another pug, but finding the right one has been difficult.
When Brady came in, we just knew he would work hard to fill the big hole in Nancy's heart! Nancy met Brady who is now Finn and it was an immediate connection for both of them.
Congratulations to Nancy and Finn! We will see you both at the Pug Social in Killington on 9-12-15!!!

4-30-15 Fawn the adorable Puganese or Peke-a-Pug has been adopted by Heather Smith of Swanzey, NH.
Fawn's previous owner died tragically in a snowmobile accident in January. Fawn was much loved and well cared for by her former "Mom".

Fawn could not have found a better home!

Bob is an amazing 88 year young fellow, who only has eyes for pugs. Bob recently lost his 15 year old pug, who was named Crystal, and knew he needed another pug to complete his life.

4/21/15 Cookie was adopted today by Sarah Gemmiti of Rutland, VT.
Cookie was surrendered to GMPR when her owner could no longer care for her. At only 4 years old she had severely sub- luxated patellas that made it very difficult for her to walk. She was very underweight, covered with flea/tick bites and had an elongated palate that was causing her breathing to be very labored.
Cookie will have the companionship of Sarah's two 13 yr old pugs. Sarah is a nurse, so Cookie will get the very best of care including some physical therapy to help her gain strength in her hind legs.
Congratulations Sarah on adopting this sweet little girl - Cookie can now start to enjoy life!

4-20-15 Taylor has been adopted by Joe and Tammy O'Kane of Colchester, VT.
Taylor was rescued from a major hoarding situation by Animal Control and the Central VT Humane Society. Animal Control learned of a problem with some people who had over 60 dogs in a filthy, over-crowded home in Eden, VT. The seizure of these dogs made the network news. GMPR stepped in to help, and received Taylor, a pug/dachshund mix. Taylor scored a 2 of a best possible 5 for body mass. She was skinny and had a flea bitten scruffy coat. She lacked socialization. The O'Kane Family stepped up to foster her and within a short period of time realized that Taylor had found her forever family!
Taylor will now have the perfect, loving family that she has always deserved.

4-13-15 Trixie has been adopted by the Jeffrey Hoffman Family of Fairport, NY.
They have been waiting since November for their perfect pug! They saw Trixie and decided she was the one for them, so they have waited all these months for her to complete her heartworm treatment. It was absolute love at first sight. They have been preparing their home for Trixie. Their daughter has been putting the dog bed in her bed at night so that it will have her scent on it for Trixie. It was over a 5 hour drive for them to come and adopt Trixie so they made an overnight trip of it.

2-17-15 Penne Pasta has been adopted by the Bushaw Family of Campton, NH.
This is one of those stories that always makes us folks at GMPR smile. We were contacted by a shelter in South Carolina about taking in a couple of pug mixes. These dogs had been in the shelter for 11 months and the court case was finally resolved. GMPR of course said yes and transport was arranged. Penne Pasta arrived, and well, to be truthful, we were a bit skeptical about his breed. His paperwork said, Pug/MinPin Mix. Maybe so, but hard to tell. We thought, he might be a difficult placement due to his heritage, but we were committed. He was delivered to his Foster Mom, who has two younger teen boys. Like a duck to water, Penne Pasta fit right in. You guessed it! Foster Failure within 2 days!! We couldn't be happier for the Bushaw Family and for Pasta now named Rocky!!

Richards has 3 young girls who are willing to work with his issues and help him become the perfect pug he was always meant to be! Congratulations all around!!

1/31/15 Terry-Jo has been adopted by Denis Virgilio and Sylvester Doyer of Schenectady, NY.
It has been a long uphill battle for Terry-Jo. She was surrendered by a backyard breeder in November 2014. She was extremely obese and checked out as heartworm positive. After having several tests taken and evaluated, it was determined that she did not have heartworm. With lots of love and care in her foster home, Terry-Jo lost some weight and became a happy, healthy, little lady. Thank You Heather for giving heart and soul to Terry-Jo! It is always bittersweet when you let your special foster babies go, and Terry-Jo is indeed special!.
Congratulations, Denis, Sylvester, and Terry Jo.
