Meet Disco – A Sweet, Cuddly, and Energetic 2-Year-Old Puggle Looking for His Forever Home! Disco is an adorable male puggle with a love for cuddles and playing fetch with his favorite ball. This adorable little guy is energetic, active, and loves his outdoor walks and playtime.
Before joining GMPR, Disco had a rough patch. He was involved in a dog fight where he was bitten by another dog, and during the chaotic separation, he bit a shelter worker. This was understandable given the situation. There was another instance where he showed some aggression during feeding time when multiple pets were around, which his previous owner attributed to anxiety related to having other pets in the home.
Since coming into our care, Disco has been fostered with other dogs and has shown no signs of aggression. He’s a foodie at heart, and with good practice, he's fed separately from other pets in his foster home—no issues to date. He respects the dominant female in the house and allows her to rule the roost. He happily shares his toys and even enjoys a good game of tug-o-war. Disco is housebroken and knows how to communicate when he needs to go out, and his foster mom reports no accidents in the home. Disco thrives in a calm and structured environment. He can get nervous in new surroundings, but with a patient, dog-savvy owner who understands how to help him adjust, Disco settles in beautifully. He interacts well with children but would do best in a home with kids over the age of 10. Although he prefers not to be picked up until he trusts you (again, always good practice), but once he does trust you Disco is all about love and attention.
We believe that, like most dogs, Disco’s behavior is greatly influenced by his environment. In his current foster home, which is quiet and has a steady routine, he’s been an absolute joy. He would do well in a home with another calm but playful companion, or he can be the only pet. A quieter household with experienced caregivers would provide the stability and support Disco needs for a successful transition.
Disco is a wonderful dog who just needs the right environment. If you’re looking for a loving, playful companion and think your home could be the right fit for Disco, please submit an adoption application. Disco's adoption fee is $500.

Meet Esmeralda!!! Our little Esme is a 10-month-old female pup who came into our care after her previous owner felt uncertain about raising a blind dog. Upon arriving at her foster home, Esme took a few days to settle in and build her confidence, but once she felt safe, her sweet personality began to shine. Living with cats and dogs, Esme quickly learned to love the company of her furry foster siblings. Esme is incredibly intelligent and learns quickly, she’s improving every day. She sits atop the back of the couch with her foster siblings looking out the window as if she can see. She doesn't realize she has "opportunities"; she bounds through her foster home during playtime with reckless abandon. Although a bit clumsy due to the darn furniture and whatnot tending to get in the way, she's thick skinned and just keeps charging along. She adores playing and is always ready for some fun! Don't let a little thing like sight fool you! Despite her blindness, she navigates her surroundings with ease. She's still a touch uncertain on a leash, but with patience and consistency, she'll master it like she has everything else. When it comes to treats, toys or bones, Esme can be a little guarded. Common behavior in dogs with limited or no vision, they get "spirited" if they feel there is a threat of a thief. However, she responds to correction and is learning that sharing is caring.
Esme is also a big fan of being touched and handled, she happily accepts and seeks cuddle time with her person. She's continuing to work on her house-training, her foster mom keeps her to a consistent schedule and she's a quick study and her foster mom keeping her to a schedule is a big help in praising good behavior. Car rides are still a bit scary for her, likely because the movement feels unpredictable without her sight.
Esme would do best in a home with another equally matched, playful & confident pet, one that will check her if she starts with all that "I'm blind and will challenge you over a bone" nonsense.. Cats are ok and children aged 10+ who can understand her special needs. She’s learning to navigate stairs but, understandably, finds them challenging due to her blindness. With a bit of guidance, she does great, though a home without stairs (or only a few) inside or to the yard would be ideal. She is eager to adapt, loves attention. Esme may be blind, but she doesn’t let that stop her from living life to the fullest. She’s simply looking for a loving home where she can continue to blossom. We're looking for a special home for this precious little girl. If you’re ready to open your heart to this sweet, brave little pup, Esme can't wait to meet you!! Esme is ready to move on to her forever home, her adoption fee is $550.

Reggie is a 4-year-old Pug-Pom mix who came to GMPR after his previous owner had to surrender him due to a move to a pet-free residence. This sweet boy has had a rough start but is slowly learning what it means to live the good dog life! When Reggie, colorfully nicknamed Weggie, first arrived at his foster home, he was nervous, skittish, and unsure of how to interact with his foster siblings. He barked for three days straight at one of the resident dogs, but there was no aggression, just confusion about how to navigate normal doggy dynamics. Reggie has since settled and is showing his true, loving personality.
Shy at first, but once Reggie feels safe, he happily accepts all handling, grooming, and loves affection. He’s incredibly gentle and has shown no signs of resource guarding or aggression around food or treats. In fact, mealtimes have been a bit of a learning curve for him. Reggie tends to nibble kibble one piece at a time, likely a learned behavior to pass the hours and entertain himself while spending so much time alone in his previous home. Now in a busier home with lots of company, he gets easily distracted by the chaos of other dogs during meals. With patience, he’s started to eat out of his foster mom’s hand and occasionally from his bowl, he’s making progress every day!
Reggie is 100% housebroken and will bark to let you know when he needs to go outside. He’s great in the car and sleeps peacefully in bed with his foster parents at night. At the vet, Reggie was a model patient, nervous at first but easy to handle and incredibly well-behaved. He quickly became a fan fav!
While Reggie hasn’t been around children, his foster mom suspects he’d be nervous around younger, more active kids. He’d likely do best in a calm home with tweens, teens, or adults. He barks at strangers but settles down once he feels comfortable. He’s a big fan of running and playing in the yard, so a fenced yard would be ideal.
Reggie is a work in progress on the leash, as he’s a strong puller and needs some guidance. Due to his history of being left alone for long hours, a home with someone who is frequently present would be ideal for him. He’d be fine with a tolerant dog sibling or as a solo pup, as long as he has a loving human companion.
Reggie is a hoot and already a great dog. With more exposure to the world and a loving home of his own, he'll be the best and most loving, loyal companion anyone could wish for. If you’re ready to offer this sweet boy the patience, love, and attention he deserves, please submit an adoption application on our site or reach out to our Adoption Coordinator directly. Reggie is ready to move on to his forever home, his adoption fee is $425.

Meet Rock, a sweet and cuddly 10-year-old black male pug looking for his forever home. Unfortunately, Rock's previous owner had to surrender him due to a move and couldn't bring him along, but now he's ready for a fresh start with a loving family. Rock is laid-back, loving, and incredibly affectionate. He enjoys being close to his people and snuggling up, often resting his jowls on your shoulder for a cozy nap. He’s good with other dogs and has formed a wonderful bond with his foster sibling. They enjoy hanging out, playing, and cuddling together. No food or toy aggression and loves handling in any way, shape or form. While Rock may be a senior, he still has plenty of energy for fun! He loves walks, car rides, and especially enjoys playtime with other pooches. He’s looking for an active family who can keep up with his curiosity and love for adventure. Rock does experience some separation anxiety, but it’s manageable, especially with the comfort of another dog around. He does well with his foster sibling as it helps him feel secure when his people are away. Rock is working on his housebreaking skills and is getting better at it every day. He does wear a belly band due to his tendency to mark, but he’s okay with it and goes outside frequently to do his business. He’s also a stroller on walks, enjoying a leisurely pace and stopping to smell the flowers. Rock is a little bit of an escape artist and loves to dig, so a secure yard is essential for him. He’s smart and loves to explore! When Rock first came into his foster home, he was calm and curious around the cats, showing respect for their space. Now that he’s proven to be trustworthy, the cats are comfortable around him. Rock has been around children and his sweet nature remains unchanged. He’s patient and gentle, making him a great companion for families. Rock doesn’t have any mobility issues; he can jump down from the couch but needs help getting up on higher places like the bed. He’s an overall healthy, happy guy!
Rock would thrive in a home where he’s surrounded by love, patience, and another dog companion, especially one who enjoys playtime. He’s a low-key guy at heart but needs an active family who can provide him with the attention and exercise he enjoys. A fenced in yard would be ideal as well as someone home more often than not to help him gain confidence in his new surroundings.
If you're looking for a companion with that perfect mix of slay and lay (walks and lounging), Rock could be the perfect addition to your family. He’s ready to bring all his love to a home that will cherish him for the wonderful pug he is!
Interested in adopting Rock? Approved Applicants please reach out to our Adoption Coordinator directly, new Applicants please submit an online adoption application to learn more, his adoption fee is $250.

Meet Shy, a lovely 3-year-old Mini-Aussie who is ready to find her forever family. Surrendered in love by her previous family, Shy is a compact, sensitive, sweet little girl weighing approx 30 lbs who needs a patient, breed-savvy home that understands her nervousness and can help her build confidence. Shy is stunningly beautiful, incredibly sweet and affectionate but is also quite nervous in new situations. While it may take some time for her to warm up, she craves attention from her humans once she feels safe. She’s submissive, cautiously optimistic and free of any food or toy aggression. She seeks out her person for comfort, especially in uncertain situations. Due to her nervous nature, Shy is a flight risk, so a securely fenced yard is a must to keep her safe. She's learning to adjust to walks with a harness and leash, but she can be wary at first. Once she gets comfortable, she really enjoys her neighborhood walks and explores with curiosity. Shy needs a calm, experienced home with patience and understanding. A home that provides both mental and physical exercise is essential, as she’s a highly intelligent breed. She would do well with a confident dog who can help her feel more secure, although it may take some time for her to warm up enough to play. Currently, she plays with her foster sister, a puggle mix who was surrendered along with her. They are not bonded, just highly compatible. Shy is scared of kids, and her sensitive nature makes her prefer quiet and calm environments. However, she is okay with cats and is respectful of their space. She will benefit from a household where she can find a safe space to retreat to when feeling overwhelmed. Shy is crate trained and fully housebroken. She lets you know when she needs to go outside and prefers your company while doing her business. She understands basic commands like "sit," "come," and "stay." With time, patience, and consistency, Shy will build her confidence and develop a strong bond with her human(s). Activities that work her body and brain, like training sessions or puzzle toys, will help her feel more confident in her new home. Shy needs a home that can provide a heavy workout for both her mind and body at least once per day. If there’s no other dog for her to play with, she needs a home where her human is home more often than not. Having an active routine with her human will be essential to keeping her happy and balanced. Shy is a loving, sweet dog who needs a patient and experienced family to help her overcome her fears. She’s looking for a home where she can build trust with her humans and feel safe enough to come out of her shell. An active family with experience handling a sensitive dog, or an owner who is willing to put in the time and effort to build her confidence, will be the perfect fit for Shy.
If you're ready to give Shy the time, space, and love she needs to thrive, she’ll reward you with endless loyalty and affection. Approved Applicants please reach out to our Adoption Coordinator directly, new Applicants please submit an online adoption application to learn more, her adoption fee is $425.

Meet Taz, your ultimate sidekick! Taz is a 10-month-old black pug with a love for adventure, and a spirit that just won’t quit! He took about a week to settle into his foster home, but once he decided he was home, game over!! Now, he’s a total lovebug, a champion playmate, and an all-around fantastic companion. Taz is the definition of “go with the flow.” Whether he’s in a full-on wrestling match with the resident lab puppy who can often be a whisker overzealous, or having his toys stolen (without a single complaint), he'll just prance right on over to the toy box and grab another to keep the games going.. He championed zoomies with the neighbor dogs that far exceed him in size when the opportunity presented itself, the challenge was accepted and he was happy to be part of all the fun. He’s incredibly tolerant and easygoing, making him a great fit for a home with other playful pups. Taz absolutely adores kids, especially his foster family’s son. He handles endless cuddles, lap time, and “over-loving” like a champ. Even when he met a parade of middle school boys over school break, he took a minute to warm up but ended up being everyone’s best friend by the time they left. If you’re looking for a pug who actually loves his walks, Taz is your guy. He goes wild when he sees his harness and is ready to brave the cold if it means adventure. He might grumble about wearing a coat, but he powers through and would rather stay outside than come back in! He’s still working on being left alone during the day, he let his foster family know he wasn’t thrilled about them going out to dinner without him for a couple hours. So, he may not be the best fit for apartment living (any shared wall environment) unless his new family can work on his comfort level with solo time. On the plus side, he’s house-trained, officially belly band-free, and has been accident-free for weeks! This little guy is a typical pug-foodie, he eats with enthusiasm but isn’t frantic about it. He takes treats gently and has become quite the connoisseur of snacks; apples, tangerines, strawberries, green beans, popcorn, you name it, he’s up for a taste test. No food aggression, no resource guarding, just pure appreciation for mealtime.
Taz would thrive in an active home that can give him plenty of exercise, love, and playtime. He loves other dogs and would do best in a home with a playful companion. A fence would be great to allow his zoomie flag to fly, unrestricted.. He’s curious about cats but respects their boundaries after taking a few swipes to the nose. He does have a playful habit of “mouthing” when he’s really excited (chewing on your fingers or toes with his lips covering his teeth). Not in an aggressive way, just in a silly, energetic way, so a home with kids 7+ would be most appropriate. He is still just a puppy, and so excited to see you, we're confident he'll quickly grow out of this behavior. Taz is a happy, easygoing houseguest who’s been an absolute pleasure in his foster home, but he's ready to move on to a home of his own and become that perfect little family pug so some very lucky family..
If you'd like to learn more about Taz please reach out to our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an adoption application here, his adoption fee is $550.

Ted is a 2-year-old, 18 lb silver fawn pug with an addiction, he's addicted to play... But we are not seeking an intervention or recovery for our little Ted. This little dynamo needs an active home, preferably with a fenced-in yard, where he can zoom around with his toys and doggy friends until he wears himself out. If you're looking for a couch potato, swipe left, Ted's here for the action! Ted is a hard chewer and needs durable toys and bones to keep him busy. Fluffy toys and tennis balls don’t stand a chance. Luckily, he reserves his chewing for his toys and has shown zero interest in shoes or furniture. He’s great with dogs of all sizes and even met some kids at the pet store, charming them instantly. He’s fully potty trained and figured out the doggy door in no time. Ted doesn't half-pug anything. He approaches his mealtime the same as his playtime, full of zest and vigor.. He eats from a slow feeder (which he’ll come home with). He also needs to eat separately, as he’s a little too enthusiastic about “helping” his friends finish their meals, not aggressive, just extremely determined! Free feeding is not an option for this guy. Ted is fully vetted, and even had nares surgery, so he breathes great and barely snores! As a classic pug, he wants to be with his people all the time and is an absolute doll when he’s not busy being a one-dog track team. If you’re an active household looking for a fun-loving, toy-toting, endlessly entertaining sidekick, Ted is your guy!
Ted would do best in a home with an active family, lots of exercise, playtime and attention, preferably a fence, and with or without another playful pet for companionship. He is ready to move on to his happy ever after, to learn more about him please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, his adoption fee is $500

Capone is a 2-year-old, 19 lb black male pug with a heart as big as his toy pile! This resilient little guy lost his right eye after a dog attack a few months ago, but he has no hesitation and can't wait to meet new friends 2 or 4 legged alike.. Winky McWinkerpants gets around just fine with a quick lay of the land and once he maps out his surroundings, he’s off and running!
Capone is a social butterfly and adores the other pets in his foster home. He’s a pro at tug-of-war, a champion toy scatterer, and a dedicated chewer of antlers and bully sticks. He’s not protective of his toys or food but loves to tease his friends with a good game of keep-away! He’s equally happy romping with playful pals or chilling with the senior dogs, adjusting his energy level to match the vibe of the room. At night, Capone prefers to snooze in bed with his people or curl up for couch cuddles. Being a southern boy, this baptism of fire to the Northeast winters dissuades his full enjoyment of the outdoors, but his housebreaking game is strong and he's doing very well. While he hasn’t had direct interactions with kids, his sweet and gentle nature makes us confident he’d do well with respectful children (7+) that recognize his "visual opportunities". He navigates stairs with ease and, when invited, can leap onto the furniture in a single bound!
Capone has adjusted beautifully to his new life and would prefer a home with another dog for company as well as a family or person who will give him plenty of love, lap time, and walks. He’s bright, curious, and always ready for the next adventure (or nap). If you’re looking for a playful, loving, and resilient little companion, Capone just might be your perfect match! Capone is ready to move on to his happy ever after, to learn more about him please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, his adoption fee is $500.

Leela is a 1.5-2-year-old fawn female pug with a raisin eye (Microphthalmia) and a whole lot of spunk! At just 11.7 lbs, this pint-sized powerhouse is all about play, play, play, nap, repeat! While her vision is limited, her right eye is genetically small, and her left eye has compromised sight. She doesn’t let that slow her down one bit. She’s getting over the counter eye drops 3x a day and she handles it like a champ. We’re hopeful her vision will improve with continued care. Leela is a social butterfly with her canine pals, initially hesitant around bigger dogs but now fully embracing the fun. She adores her person, loves affection, and is easy to handle and groom as long as YOU'RE involved. She’s a toy fanatic and enjoys sharing with the other pug in her foster home, though she’s not as generous with the rest of the crew. She's came into GMPR with another pug that came from the same home and we believe to be her mother. So, while she does well with bigger dogs, she prefers the safety and familiarity her constant companion offers. Leela may be estimated at 1.5-2 years old, but mentally and emotionally, she’s a puppy at heart (think 4-6 months old). She hasn’t experienced much love and positivity in life, so she’s still learning proper social skills. Her current go-to moves are primal, including humping, licking to show love, or attempting to play-feed on her mother’s nipples (yep, she’s still figuring things out!). Any resident pets should be okay with her unique and homeopathic approach to friendship. She’s making great progress with house training, rides well in the car, and is getting the hang of leash manners. Crates aren’t her thing, but she’s adaptable with time and patience. She’s also a bit of a food snob, plain kibble? No thanks. Kibble with a cherry (or wet food) on top, now we’re talking! She may have limited sight, but she makes up for it with sheer determination, there’s nothing she doesn’t think she can do!
Leela needs a family willing to embrace the puppy within and help to her to thrive with guidance, structure, and the love she deserves. She would do best in a home with another smaller, welcoming pet for companionship and a family willing to help her learn what the life of a pampered pug is all about. If you’re looking for a quirky, energetic, and fearless little pug to keep life interesting, Leela is your girl! Leela will be ready to move on to her happy ever after soon, to learn more about her please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, her adoption fee is $500.

Meet Footnote! This 2-year-old, 20-pound pug is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and couch potato. His favorite activities? Playing tug-of-war with his foster siblings, following his person everywhere, and cuddling up for movie nights. He’s an expert in snuggling and an A+ nap buddy. Footnote will happily rally for a long walk if you’re up for it, but if lounging on the couch all day is more your speed, he’s down for that too. He’s not high-energy, just the typical pug short bursts of playful zoomies, followed by the ultimate power nap. Footnote is a chill guy, but don’t let that fool you, he loves a good game of tug-of-war with his doggy pals and snuggling up next to them when playtime is over. While he adores his canine companions, his heart truly belongs to his person. He’s a devoted little shadow, always by your side, ready for whatever the day brings. As for kids, he did fantastic with older ones and was sweet with a younger child, although in classic pug fashion, he got a little too excited when she ran past him, thinking it was playtime (RIP to her socks). With a little guidance, he quickly figured out how to be gentle and even spent the night sleeping with his head on her arm. He’s not mouthy or nippy, doesn’t chew things he shouldn’t.... except maybe eyeballing the recycling bin, because gross smells are apparently his jam. He really loves his chew toys and bones. His housetraining is coming along great, he doesn't offer obvious signs when he needs to go, but when kept to a schedule he's doing awesome. He's been wearing a belly band to further promote his good behavior. He's down for whatever, as long as it includes his person. He's been going to work every day with his foster mom and takes his job as assistant very seriously, keeping one eye on her and the other on all the business exchanges.
Footnote is ready for a forever home where he can be someone’s loyal shadow, best friend, and occasional adventure buddy. His ideal forever home would have another pet for companionship and a family of any configuration or size to call his own. If you’re looking for a loving, adaptable, snuggly little dude who will be your loyal sidekick, Footnote is your guy! He is ready to move on to his happy ever after now and can't wait to meet you! To learn more about him please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, his adoption fee is $500.

Some dogs run into your arms immediately, and some take a little time to trust. Tater is the latter, but watching him slowly come out of his shell is pure magic. Tater is a 3-4-year-old fawn male pug, weighing 21 lbs, who arrived at his foster home a bit timid and unsure. He’s cautious by nature, but every day, he warms up a little more, revealing the sweet, loving pug beneath that hesitation. Tater isn’t the type to jump up for affection right away, patience is the way to his heart. He’ll shy away if you reach for him suddenly or from above, but if you sit with him and approach in his direct line of sight to offer affection, especially ear and face scratches...... he's found that to be very, very agreeable. At first, Tater was indifferent to the other pets in his foster home. He wasn’t sure about toys, and treats were a cautious affair. Tater is a bit more of a couch-paTater, but will engage in the pup antics. He slowly started watching, then joining in and chasing after his dog siblings as they played fetch. Even though he didn’t quite know what they were so excited about or where they were going, he still wanted to be a part of all the excitement. His speed leans a little more in the lap lounger with mutual dog grooming direction, but as he continues to gain his confidence, we're sure he'll figure out all the joy of playtime with his furry friends. Housebreaking is a work in progress, he wears a belly band to help with good potty habits and will need an adopter patient with training. He’s free to roam the living room and kitchen while his foster mom is away, and he’s been a perfect houseguest, no destructive or otherwise undesirable behavior. Although he preferred the "safety" of his dog bed for the first few nights, he has become quite fond of sleeping in bed with his foster mom at night. Tater finds comfort in canine companionship. He’d do well with another confident, calm and friendly dog to show him the ropes.
Tater is looking for a patient adopter who understands that trust isn’t immediate, but it’s so worth the wait. He’d do best in a home where someone is around most of the time, as he does show some separation anxiety. As well as another calm, confident dog to help him continue coming out of his shell. He has not been tested with cats or kids but we feel due to his gentle nature he'd do best in a home with dog-savvy children (10+) who understand to give him space and time to adjust. Dancing or running toddlers would not benefit his desire for a calm and patient introduction to his new environment. He may not be the life of the party (yet), but this boy has a heart of gold just waiting for the right person to unlock it. With time, love, and a little patience, Tater will make an incredibly loyal and loving companion to some lucky family. He will be ready to move on to his happy ever after soon. To learn more about him please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, his adoption fee is $425

Looking for a pint-sized companion with a big personality? Meet Tot, a 3-4-year-old fawn pug weighing in at a perfect 19 lbs. This little guy is packed with love, energy, and a touch of quirky charm! Tot was born with Microphthalmia, a genetic defect caused by a vitamin deficiency in early fetal development giving him a uniquely small eye. But don’t worry, it's not causing him any pain, it does not cause any hindrance on his ability to run, jump, play and live an active and full life, and there is no treatment required for him at this time. As with all pugs and their potential for eye concerns, just monitoring and regular checks at his annual visits to ensure no issues develop down the line. He has mild patella luxation in his left knee, again super common in pugs and not causing him any issues! A joint supplement will help to keep him spry for years to come. Tot is an outgoing, happy-go-lucky pug who settled into his foster home quickly. He loves playing with his canine foster siblings and enjoys small stuffed toys and chew bones. Surprisingly, this little guy adores playing in the snow! He’s a professional belly-rub receiver, an expert cuddler, and a top-tier window patrol officer.. keeping an eye on the world and sending out the occasional bark to ward off intruders. He’s working on his housebreaking manners; he's wearing a belly band as a helpful reminder and is making good progress. Tot is a welcome and respectful little house guest! He roams freely in the kitchen and living room when his foster mom is away and has been a perfect house guest with no destructive or undesirable behavior to report. He’s a cuddle bug who loves sleeping in bed with his foster mom. If Tot could use his magic paintbrush to paint a picture of his happy ever after, it would include you AND a canine sibling for companionship. Because Tot gets "concerned" when he cannot locate his person or his dog peeps, we're seeking a forever home for him where he has a playful pup for daily shenanigans and someone with a flexible schedule allowing them to be home more frequently. He has not been cat tested, and although he's not had experience while in our care with kids, due to his happy go lucky and playful nature, we think he'd be just fine with dog savvy kids (7+) that are respectful of boundaries.
If you’re ready for a sweet, playful, and sometimes-snow-loving pug who will bring endless joy and cuddles to your home, Tot is your guy! He will be ready to move on to his happy ever after soon. To learn more about him please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, his adoption fee is $425.

Meet Bodhi, a 1-2-year-old, 20lb, gorgeous, white, male pug with a heart as big as his personality! Bodhi is a sweet and gentle lovebug who welcomes affection, handling, and grooming like a champ. No fuss, no drama, just pure puggy goodness. He’s got housebreaking mostly down, just needs routine and structure to continue his positive training. No food, toy, or treat guarding here, he’s as polite as they come and takes treats oh-so-gently. Even in the chaos of mealtime with other pets, he patiently waits his turn. His first night, he sat up nervously in his foster dad's bed, unsure of his new world. Now? He burrows under the covers and dreams the night away.. He fit right into his foster home, handled all the proper sniff introductions like a pro, and even coexists peacefully with the resident cat. He’s a people pug through and through. He’ll follow you anywhere, but once you’re settled, he just chills nearby. Clingy? Yes. Needy? No. He's very mellow and easy going, no aggression, no dominant behavior, no humping.... just a relaxed little guy who goes with the flow. His personality is still emerging, and he’s started busting out some joyful zoomies (post-bath, for example!). We think he’d love a yard to romp in when the weather is nice and he’d thrive in a home with someone who works from home or could bring him to the office. He’s friendly, calm, and would make an excellent co-worker in your home office or office-office. He’s great in the car and was a fan fave at the vet. No drama, just a cooperative little patient. Bonus - his teeth were so perfect that the vet had to double-check that he didn’t have braces! With a clean bill of health and a winning personality, Bodhi is ready to find his perfect match. Bodhi is the perfect mix of quirky, loving, and chill. His forever family is going to hit the jackpot with this little guy.
Bodhi does get concerned if he cannot find you, or when he's left alone. A home with another pet for companionship while you're away would be ideal to help him be more comfortable and learn that this too shall pass, you'll be back... A family of any size, kids 7+ that are dog savvy and respectful of boundaries. A fence would be ideal for his new found love for yard zoomies. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will greet you like you’ve been gone for weeks (even if you just took out the trash), Bodhi is your boy! Bodhi is ready to bring his perfect teeth, big heart, and pug charm to his forever home. If you're interested in learning more about Bodhi, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, his adoption fee is $500.

Meet Pugnelope, a 3-4-year-old fawn female pug with a heart full of love and a personality as quirky as her name! She came into GMPR with another pug, and we’re pretty sure she’s her mom as she has a strong mothering instinct and is always looking out for her little companion. Pugnelope has bilateral patella luxation, a common condition in pugs, but hers does not require surgery and she's a leap-froggin, spunky little firecracker, no mobility issues or slowing her down. She’s on a joint supplement to support her long-term mobility and help prevent arthritis down the road. She also has an eye entropion (where the inner eyelid doesn’t retract fully), which will be fully evaluated and surgically corrected, if necessary, prior to her adoption. What do we love about Pugnelope??? For starters, she loves having another pet around and always seeks their comfort and company. She’ll be a wonderful partner to any existing pets in your home. Despite being around 4, she’s got the energy of a 1.5-year-old pug. She wasn't allowed to fully embrace her puppydom in her previous life, so she's livin' la vida loca and taking full advantage of all the perks in her new found freedom. She loves to play tug, and has a particular fondness for… potato chip bag clips. (Yes, you read that right.) They're saltylicious and they crinkle, so it's a two'fer.. She prefers to enjoy her treats in peace, she'll often grab and go find a quiet spot to fully appreciate a lip smackin' delectable. She’s not possessive about food and is happy to share with her furry friends. She appreciates a good massage and is comfortable with being brushed, bathed, and doted on. She enjoyed her inaugural car ride until she realized the end destination, THE VET... She was cooperative, but definitely not a fan.. Not uncommon.. She's learning house rules about potty time and making great progress. Her foster mom has been using the crate and a consistent schedule to help reinforce her positive indoor potty habits. In Pugnelope’s mind, all surfaces are fair game. Coffee tables, TV trays, the top of her crate, you name it, she’ll sit on it. This little queen has zero boundaries when it comes to choosing her throne. But she's quickly, and humorously, learning her lady manners. The ideal home for Pugnelope is a home with another dog. She thrives with the companionship of a furry friend and has likely never known a home without one. A patient family willing to help her continue learning house rules and confidence. Although she's not been introduced to kids while in our care, kids 7+ would likely be fine; wild toddlers may be a bit much for her. Someone who will appreciate her quirks and love her for the silly, sweet, and slightly mischievous pug that she is!
Pugnelope is an affectionate, spunky, and loving pug who just needs a family that understands her past and is ready to help her blossom. She will return the favor tenfold with loyalty, companionship, and plenty of laughs. Pugnelope will be ready to move on to her forever home soon. If you're interested in learning more about her, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, her adoption fee is $425

Ozzy is a 4-year-old 14 lb fawn male who came to GMPR when his previous owner wanted him to have more than they were able to provide. But don’t let his past or his missing eye fool you, this little guy walked into his foster home with confidence, scoped out the scene, and promptly claimed his spot on the couch to settle in for some family time. Ozzy is all about the hear and now, he’s a true people-pug. He's more interested in humans than his foster siblings, though he coexists with other dogs just fine. Ozzy is very social and super affectionate, he’ll be your shadow, supervising all your daily activities. He's great with other dogs, but humans are his priority. He prefers snuggles over playtime with his four-legged friends. He shows interest in the resident cat, but he's not a chaser, just a little curious. Peaceful co-existence is possible! Ozzy has no resource guarding, no aggression, and he's very tolerant with handling... baths, ear checks, and belly rubs are all fair game. He's learning meal-time manners like a pro! He patiently waits his turn and eats alongside his foster siblings like a gentleman. Housebreaking is a work in progress, but he’s rocking a belly band like a fashion icon and is improving daily with consistent potty breaks. He's not a fan of the cold, so he does his business quickly and dashes back inside. Once the weather warms up, he’ll likely enjoy outdoor strolls, but he’s definitely a fair-weather pug. Crate? Nope. Your bed? Yep. After testing the crate theory (which resulted in four hours of woofing), his foster caved and now he sleeps soundly snuggled under the covers. He loves car rides, he’s a fantastic copilot, whether riding shotgun, double parked or snoozing in your lap. Apparently, Ozzy's been to college, he knows basic commands like “sit,” “shake,” “hold/wait,” and “no.” His leash manners are beginner, but work in progress. He greets everyone he meets with a bark, but in an excited "hey, come over here and introduce yourself!" kind of way.. Ozzy is rocking life with one eye, and while he’s doing great, his remaining eye is currently being treated for an ulcer. His night vision isn’t the best, so he may need some guidance in low-light settings.
The perfect home for Ozzy would be one with someone home more often than not, a work-from-home adopter, retiree, or someone with a flexible schedule would be ideal. He's not a fan of being left behind, protesting by pacing and “woofing”, so an adopter who understands his need for companionship is key. He continues to be less and less concerned while you're out of sight, so this isn't a forever affliction.. But he will likely take time to acclimate in his new home. Apartments or condos (any shared wall environment) would not be ideal as he might complain to your neighbors while you're away from home. And while his heart belongs to his humans first, another pet in the home would help to soothe his woes while you're away. He hasn't had interaction with little-littles, but did smother a teenage girl with all of his affections. We think he'd be a fan of all ages, but based on his sight he'd prefer a home with kids 10+ that appreciate his limited vision. His future family should be mindful of his depth perception and patient as he learns his way around a new home.
If you’re looking for a devoted, snuggly, and endlessly entertaining companion, Ozzy is your guy! Ozzy will be ready to move on to his forever home soon. If you're interested in learning more about him, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants) or submit an online adoption application here, his adoption fee is $425.
