Introducing........ Melody and Bub, two adorable three-year-old pugs in a pod who are looking for their perfect forever home TOGETHER. These little darlings entered GMPR's care through an owner surrender made out of love. Due to changes in their family dynamic, their previous household was no longer the best environment for them, and they were spending too much time alone.
About Melody and Bub:
Melody (fawn female, born July 7, 2020) and Bub (brindle male, born November 1, 2020) come from the same breeder but different litters. They were lovingly raised together in Costa Rica, where they received excellent training and enjoyed a life full of adventure, from playing on white sand beaches to boogie boarding in the surf. Both pugs are well-socialized and trained in commands, making them simply irresistible and bonded for life. Both are housebroken, crate trained (together), good with cats, kids and other dogs. Beyond mobile and have no issues with stairs, long walks or physical play. Both can get vocal if they can't find you, especially if they can't find each other.
Melody (aka Mellow or the Mellow Marshmallow):
Melody is extremely affectionate and fun-loving. She loves connection, cuddling, and play but can also self-entertain and chill with Bub. She’s friendly with new people and other animals and loves the water. Melody is a great adventurer, enjoying walks in the woods and even some Netflix and chill time in your lap. She’s got a wonderful sense of humor and is highly entertaining—a true love pug.
Bub (aka Bartholomew Ulysses Brutus or Bubblicious):
Bub is a sweet and independent boy who craves affection. He loves exploring and has loads of energy, often coercing Melody into games of chase or tug of war. Despite his energetic nature, Bub also enjoys quiet moments on your lap, or retreating to his bed for a nap or alone time with a bone. He’s very sensitive and kind, loves his belly rubs, and is Melody's brave protector and devoted companion.
The Ideal Home for Melody and Bub:
We are seeking a loving home for Melody and Bub offering plenty of space to run free and explore, nature walks in the woods are thoroughly enjoyed, as well as aquatic adventures with access to a pond, lake or water source so they can get their laps in. They thrive on love, attention (preferably from multiple family members, they just can't get enough love), and the ability to explore their surroundings. And while not barky, they can voice their displeasure in your absence, apartment or condo dwellers (any shared wall environment) would not be the ideal home setting. They're looking for a larger space where someone is home all the time, or more often than not so they can stretch their puggy legs and see what the world has in store for them next.
Melody and Bub have brought immense joy to their previous family, and while it is heartbreaking to re-home them, it is done with the best intentions for their happiness and well-being. Both are fully vetted and up to date on all medical; however, we will have them checked out at our vet just for safe measure. If you are ready to open your heart and home to these wonderful pugs, please contact our Adoption Coordinator to learn more about this 2/3's of a grumble.
Melody & Bub's adoption fee is $800.

Meet Sweet Louie: Your New Best Friend!
Louie Louie is a spunky, sweet little guy looking for his forever home. If you're an active person who loves the outdoors, Louie could be the perfect companion for you!
About Louie:
Sweet Lou found his way to GMPR through one of our shelter partnerships. Louie is a high-energy dog with a zest for life, his previous owners just couldn't hang.. But here at GMPR, nobody puts Louie in a corner.... At only 1.5 years-old, he's eager to see the world and savor all it has to offer. His current foster family has that pep in their step, they take him on long walks three times a day to help in properly directing his fervor for life in a more productive manner, as well as preventing any potential for destructive behavior that pinned up energy could promote. Louie is playful and super affectionate. He loves attention and enjoys playing with toys, especially chew toys. He’s very social and likes to interact with people and other dogs, but he can get a little nervous when playtime gets too loud or interactive. Likely because he never had a family give him a chance and introduce him to new things, letting his Lou-flag fly. Louie currently lives with two older Pugs and loves playtime; all are getting along just famously. Louie has met children on walks and is respectful and curious, though he may bark to get their attention, he just wants to make new friends. Speaking of being an attention freeloader, he loves being groomed and handled, no sedatives required for nail trimmings.. Louie prefers to have someone nearby when he eats and has no guarding issues. If you walk away, he tends to stop eating until you come back, he feels no one should eat alone. Louie is HOUSEBROKEN (should have opened with that) and does his business quickly once outside. However, he still wants that walk, so no cheating and cutting the walk short.. Louie can stay in a crate when left alone and settles down after barking for a few minutes. However, at night and if you're home, there will be no crate, he doesn't want to miss a thing.. Louie's good in the car but prefers shotgun on your lap, with time, consistency & training, he'll learn that a seat of his own is comfier and he can sit back and enjoy the ride.
Ideal Home:
Louie needs an active person who can take him on long walks several times a day and provide plenty of activity and playtime to spend that puppy power pizazz.
He favors bro-code and thrives with a male presence, but will do well with anyone who can give him the attention and patience and outlet for his vivacity.
His new home should be ready for a lively dog who loves to run around and needs someone who can handle his puppy-like enthusiasm and charm.
If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic companion who will keep you active and entertained, Sweet Lou is the dog for you!
Louie's adoption fee is $500. New applicants please apply at gmpr.org/adoptionapp.html, existing applicants please contact our adoption coordinator to inquire or arrange a meet and greet, he can’t wait to meet you!

Meet Hemi, your Future Snuggle Buddy!
Hemi is a brilliant Leucistic Pug (White Pug), 8-years-old, tipping the scales at a dainty at 15 lbs. This glowy little nugget came to GMPR from one of our shelter partnerships. This poor little guy arrived in pretty rough shape, battling ear, eye, and skin infections. But is still so beautiful, so once he gets all cleaned up....look out ladies.. The white pugs are typically more sensitive and require a bit more attention and care. Unfortunately, we believe Hemi lost his hearing due to untreated ear infections. However, this hasn’t dampened his spirits or his ability to follow his foster mom around the house. But thanks to our dedicated team and his loving foster mom, Hemi is on the road to recovery. With medicated baths, responsible care, a good diet, and lots of love, he’s getting healthier every day. Hemi is a super affectionate little pugger who enjoys being the center of attention. He’s friendly with but not too interested in kids or other dogs. He's perfectly compatible living in his foster home with other pets, he just prefers his human and more treats. He's diligently working to learn his housebreaking, his past life likely lacked consistent care, so he’ll need a patient family to continue this training. Belly bands are strongly recommended, as well as a great learning tool. He's left out and about with his canine siblings while foster mom is away and is described as the perfect houseguest, no trouble to report. Hemi prefers the indoors, not a candidate for daily walks or trail walking. He does his business quickly when outside and then wants to retreat back inside. Because in true pug form, most of a certain age would prefer to chill in a comfy bed. He tolerates handling and grooming well, even while nursing his ear infection which we suspect was pretty painful.
What to expect if you'd like to have Hemi join your family:
Hemi would do well in a home with or without kids and other pets. He’s friendly towards everyone and everything, including cats, as long as they are not demons. He’s great in the car, whether in a crate or car seat. At the vet, he was the Mayor. Happily greeting all and loving the attention, remaining cooperative throughout the full body cavity assault. Hemi would thrive with a dog-savvy family that can accommodate his potential Leucistic Pug needs. But who knows, he was allowed to decline in his previous home as well as during his stay at the shelter, once he's back in tip-top shape he might not require any above average care. He’s scheduled for a dental in July where we’ll get a better understanding of his long-term needs. He may have allergies, so a high quality, limited ingredient diet or regular Cytopoint injections or Apoquel could be necessary. He will need eye lubricants daily due to chronic dry eye. Hemi is a bit wobbly in his back end, his foster mom started him on joint supplements which have helped improve his range of motion, this should be continued in his future home. Hemi is a typical friendly pug who loves everyone he meets. If you’re looking for a love bug who will bring joy and that pugzaz to your home, Hemi is the one for you!
If you'd like to learn more about Hemi, please contact our Adoption Coordinator directly, his adoption fee is $375.

Meet Lily, a.k.a. the Energizer Pug!
Lily is a 10-month-old perfectly peppy and healthy black Pug who loves to be on the move and looking for her forever home. She was rescued from a less than desirable situation but has no regrets and no time to look in the rear-view mirror. She’s ready to find that one in a million family that can keep up with her playful spirit. Lady Lily is house-trained and although she prefers your lap or your bed, she is comfortable being crated both when her current foster mom is away and during the night. While she hasn't had the pleasure to engage with littles in her foster home, Lily is super sweet and would do well with children. She sees the kids getting on and off the bus from school and really wants to engage. Although, she might jump in excitement, so no toddlers need apply. She’s very curious about cats, likely due to her lack of exposure to them, and because they're cats, but no prey drive. She loves treats, which makes her super easy to train. Lily adores playing with toys and has a particular fondness for fetch. She has a passion for being outdoors and smelling all the smells and seeing all the sights, she even enjoys bath time! She’s used to being on a leash and is still improving her leash manners. So far, she’s only traveled in a car by crate, but is a perfect little lady the whole ride. Lily is very loving and enjoys cuddling. She gets extremely excited when her foster family comes home. She’s a sweetheart who loves attention and affection. Lily knows how to sit, thanks to her foster mom’s training. And like many puppies, she’s curious and likes to chew on small objects, even though she has plenty of toys. Redirecting has proven successful. Lily is up to date on all vetting, her spay is scheduled for this week.
Lily would love a home with other dogs, but it’s not essential as long as she has someone to play with and help her to spend that puppy energy. Lily would thrive in a home with an active family with kids that has the time to play with her and provide the attention she craves. Her new family should be prepared to have plenty of toys to keep her entertained. Lily is eager to find a family that will love her as much as her foster family does. If you'd like to learn more about Lily and make her a part of your family, please contact our Adoption Coordinator directly. Lily's adoption fee is $550.

Meet Buddy the Boston!
Buddy is a 9-year-old Boston Terrier weighing in at 18 lbs. He needs to gain a pound or two, but my crystal ball tells me he'll have no problem in that area with our community of dog lovers. Buddy is a super sweet and gentle soul who recently jailbroke from a puppy mill. Needless to say, he's is still shy and skittish. Fast movements and loud noises scare him. Never having known a kind hand or a soft bed of his own, he's awe struck by his current warm and loving home with good food, happy friends, and a sweet foster mom to give him praise and kisses, and TREATS! He's deemed his crate as his safe place; however, when he decides he can trust you, he allows petting and simply melts in your arms. Buddy lives with a pug and a springer spaniel in his foster home. He doesn’t mind being around them and is curious about their activities. He has tried to mount them a few times, indicating his interest in the ladies, I mean social interactions??? We'll nip all that mounty-mounty business in the bud once he's neutered in July. Despite his shyness, Buddy allowed his foster mom to clip his nails and clean his ears. He’s currently receiving treatment for an ear infection and he has limited hearing due to previous lack of care and the infection left untreated. Buddy also has some arthritis and a luxating patella in his back left knee. But none of that stops him from running and playing and jumping, etc...The vet recommended fish oil and mobility supplements to get his skin, coat and joints back in tip-top shape.. Buddy loves him some treats and is very food motivated, this will prove super helpful in his ongoing training.. He hasn't shown much interest in toys yet but enjoys chewing on bones. Buddy is working on his housebreaking. He uses a doggy door to go outside but has had accidents overnight, likely due to his inability to access that doggy door. He wears a belly band indoors to help manage this. He's very good in the car, quietly sitting and looking out the window in deep thought, wondering when he'll meet his new family maybe??
Buddy needs someone wo understands the plight of a puppy mill survivor. Despite his past, he's a sweet and gentle little man who wants to love you, and be loved by you. He would thrive in a quiet, calm home, ideally with older, lower energy dog(s). Or, as the apple of your eye with no other pets at all. A fenced-in yard is preferred as he loves spending time outside playing and napping in the sun. He hasn't been around children yet, but once settled, he should be fine with kids who understand respectful interaction as well as his need for a gentle and patient touch. Buddy needs a family that understands his past and is willing to work patiently with him as he becomes more comfortable and less fearful. His new family should continue caring for his ears and provide joint supplements for his continued comfort and mobility. Buddy is a sweet little man who deserves the best home filled with love and treats and more love and more treats.. With time, we're certain he will become the perfect couch snuggle buddy. If you have a calm and understanding home, Buddy will reward you with all the loyalty and gentle affection you can handle..
If you'd like to give Buddy the loving home he deserves and make him a part of your family, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (pre-approved) or submit an adoption application (new applicants). Buddy's adoption fee is $300.

***ADOPTION PENDING***
Missy Mae is an adorable 11-year-old fawn female pug-a-muffin who sadly found her way to GMPR after the sudden and unexpected passing of her previous and only owner. Despite the sudden change, Missy Mae is adjusting well and showing her loving and gentle nature. Lil Missy Mae is a very sweet and calm pug, as one would expect at her age. She hasn’t shown much interest in playing with other dogs but gets along well with them, she prefers a more relaxed and quieter environment. Likely what she's known her whole life. She’s housebroken but has had a few accidents as she adjusts to her new surroundings, she’s familiar with puppy pads. Missy Mae does come with the typical old-lady pug health issues. She has some issues with her ears, which are being addressed at her vet appointment. She has a lump on her side, which she’s had for a long time and it isn’t causing her any issues, our vet gave it the all clear. She has limited hearing and eyesight, both common in senior dogs. She is a sturdy girl though, no major signs of arthritis, she jumps on and off couch, does stairs just fine. No mobility or potty issues. Missy Mae never met a meal she didn't like and would benefit from a healthy diet and gentle exercise. But just a couple of pounds, no need to lose all that jelly. With that face, she probably woo'd her previous owner into giving up all those table scraps.. She has been receiving Cytopoint shots every 2-3 months for her allergies, but given her weight, that could be attributed to food? A high-quality diet with no more scraps could nip both the allergy and weight issue right in the bud.. Missy Mae is a full-on couch pugtato who loves lounging around. She can jump up and down from the couch on her own but prefers using stairs. She shows no food aggression and is very gentle with other dogs, cats, and kids. Missy Mae is crate trained and sleeps well through the night without any issues. She barks when she wants to eat (her food or yours), she watches the clock and alerts you when it's dinner time. She enjoys her dog bed and naps for the most part in them or on the couch with her peeps. She just started playing with her toys, it's a short play window but , hey...
Missy Mae would thrive in a quiet, calm home where she can relax and enjoy her golden years. She would do well with another similar, laid-back dog but isn’t overly interested in playful interactions. She would do just as well being the only dog in the home. No interaction with cats or larger dogs, although if they leave her alone, I suspect she'd show no interest in them. The main thing for Missy Mae is having her person home with her most of the time. A few hours a day would be fine but she will bark if she feels she's been alone for too long or can't find you. A family that understands her needs and can provide her with the love and care she deserves would be perfect. She's fine with or without kids, she met (2) 5-year-old little boys where she proceeded to wiggle her booty for them and went back about her business (back to bed).
If you’re looking for a gentle, loving little pug-nut to share your home and steal your heart, Missy Mae wants to meet you! To learn more about Missy Mae please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an adoption application (new applicants), her adoption fee is $250.

Are you ready to meet "The One"??
Trixie is a 2-year-old English Bulldog, weighing around 40 lbs.. Trixie found her way to GMPR from a puppy mill release. Despite her past, she displays none of the typical characteristics you might expect. Trixie is the sweetest, snuggly, most loving little girl who will steal your heart once you meet her. Everyone who's met her has fallen hard for this little meatball. Her new motto is "Girls just wanna have fun." She is a quirky kook who loves to play with the pugs, often going full yoga in a downward-facing dog pose before charging at them with all 40 pounds of her adorable self. Because of her size and playfulness, she may not be the best fit for a family with super tiny dogs or wobbly toddlers new to their feet. Trixie suffers from "Stair Aversion", she doesn’t like steps and appears to be afraid of them. She's probably never seen them or had any experience. She would need a home without stairs, with only a couple stairs, or someone who can carry her until she gets her sea legs.. This goes for inside and outside of the home. Trixie LOVES toys and enjoys lying on the grass watching the clouds go by and playing with her foster siblings. Trixie prefers the company of dogs and doesn’t interact much with cats in her foster home. While she loves human interaction and doesn’t mind being touched anywhere, she insists on having all your attention. If not actively engaged, she uses her mouth to gently grab hands, feet, and clothing, so she may not be suitable for homes with small children. Trixie is a food lover, eagerly anticipating mealtime and enjoying her snacks. She’s shown some possessiveness over food, so it’s best to separate her from other dogs during meals. However, she’s a generous soul when it comes to toys and shows no signs of reluctance to share. This whole living in a real home is an entirely new concept, needless to say she's taking liberties and testing boundaries. She is very persistent, but with patience and redirection, we're confident she'll learn her manners and be a perfect little lady.. Trixie is working on her housebreaking and does grasp concept, happily doing her business outside if kept to a schedule or with frequent trips. She is great in the car, happy to ride shotgun and staying put in her little car seat.
Trixie's dream home is a patient and loving home that understands her unique needs being sprung from the mill so recently.. She would do best in a home without small children and with someone who can provide the attention and care she deserves. Trixie is very energetic and would do well with another dog who can match her playfulness. A fenced yard would be ideal for her to explore and play safely.
If you’re ready to give Trixie the loving home she deserves, please submit an adoption application.
Trixie's adoption fee is $500.

Maple is seeking her new home, is it with you?
Flowing, going, mobile, astir, at work, in process, bustling... apparently all synonyms for "Maple"...
Maple is a 1-year-old fawn Pug who surrendered herself to GMPR along with her sister, Willow.... Both Maple & Willow are very active, playful, and full of puppy mischief, but in a good way... They both love being outdoors, their foster family often has trouble convincing them to come back inside. In true puppy fashion, they've never met a chew toy they couldn't destroy, and welcome your challenge should you accept it.....Both are pretty much housebroken, no accidents in the foster home. There was that one time, but who's counting, and it was totally not her their fault.. But seriously, their foster family would confidently say that when kept to their schedule, they're fully housebroken.. These two are like two peas in a pod, but not bonded. Although we are seeking a home for them where there is another younger pet matching their energy for companionship.. Cats, no prob. Kids, ok too as long as they can hang, are well behaved and are respectful of the typical and expected boundaries (no poking, prodding, teasing, etc).. They would love a pint-sized partner in crime to sneak them snacks and play anything, so long as the activity itself is live, engaged and has the word "play" in it..
Maple's ideal home would be an active one that can keep up with her, she's no wallflower. Fully equipped with a canine companion of an equal energy level for daily shenanigans. A fenced yard would be great, but not a requirement so long as adequate, leashed outdoor activities and play time are at her disposal.
If you're interested in learning more about Maple, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (you have her info from your original approval). Maple is fully vetted and ready to move on to her forever home, her adoption fee is $500.
