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.

Like peanut butter and jelly, peas and carrots or couch cushions and pug hair.....these ladies are NOT sold separately, but batteries ARE included...
Meet Pugnelope & Leela, a perfectly mismatched-yet-meant-to-be pair of fawn-colored chaos goblins who came into our care together and haven’t spent a day apart. We’re pretty sure Pugnelope is Leela’s mama, partly because she’s got a strong mothering instinct, and partly because Leela still tries to nurse on her (yes, really). Pugnelope is a 3-4-year-old, 16 lb leap-froggin', joy-jumpin', love-hoggin’ little spark plug with a hilarious personality and zero self-restraint when it comes to sitting on inappropriate surfaces (TV trays? Yes. The top of her crate? Also yes. Your soul? Most definitely). She has bilateral patella luxation as do most pugs in rescue (that’s fancy talk for wobbly knees), but she’s spunky, springy, and shows no signs of mobility issues or slowing down. No surgery needed, just joint supplements to prevent arthritis in her senior years.. She’s great with other dogs, loves a good tug-o-war, and has an oddly specific passion for chip clips (you know, the ones you use to close a bag of Doritos?) Pugnelope is a “grab the treat and go hide in a corner” kind of gal. She’s not food possessive, just private about her snacking. She’s working on her house training like a champ and is consistent with her schedule. What she lacks in boundary awareness she makes up for in affection, silliness, and sass. Now, onto Leela...... A 1.5-2-year old pint-sized powerhouse at 11.7 lbs with a raisin eye (microphthalmia) and the belief that she can do anything..and honestly, she’s not wrong. Her eye has been evaluated and there is no surgery or special care required outside of the standard pug eye drops. Leela doesn’t miss a beat. She zooms, she plays, she snuggles. She’s got more heart than most humans and just enough mischief to keep you on your toes. She LOVES toys, adores her person, and also house training like a champ when kept to a schedule. Her current communication style involves humping, licking, or trying to nurse on mom—which is weird, but it’s her way of saying “I love you and I never learned boundaries.” She’ll need patient people and pets who are okay with her, uh, unique expressions of affection. Think of her as a very sweet, very determined toddler with paws.
Neither are wild about crates, both prefer their kibble with a little side of flair (don’t we all?), and are soaking up every drop of affection they can get. Their Ideal Home? A fenced yard would be great, kids over 7 that are dog savvy and respectful of boundaries, and a personal chef that can add that "BAAM" of flair to their daily menu.. These two are bonded in that deep, cosmic, hilarious way that only pugs can be. They’ve been through a lot together and deserve a home that’s ready to give them all the love, support, and snacks they’ve never had.
Adopt the pug pair you never knew you needed but now absolutely cannot live without. Interested and already approved? Reach out to our Adoption Coordinator. Need to apply? Apply here. Their adoption fee is $800.

***AVAILABLE TO NEW AND PREVIOUSLY APPROVED APPLICANTS***
Meet Roscoe, this little Duke of Hazzard is a 6'ish-year-old Chug with a very particular wish list for his new diggs; Food and YOU... Let's get right to the point, Roscoe is a human-loving, deeply loyal, and resource-guarding renegade who needs to be the only animal in the home. No cats, no dogs, no toddlers sneaking snacks..... no bones about it! This little guy is looking for a solo gig.. His resource guarding applies to food, toys, water, and especially you. If Roscoe wants it, he guards it. No biting, but he will with passion and conviction make his feelings known. He’s a very skilled little thief, counters, trash cans, dropped morsels... Nothing is safe. Adding to his feverish love of anything edible, Roscoe has some stomach sensitives. He's an owner surrender a few times removed, and had some weight swings. He had a skin infection some years ago and was on a strong med for an extended period of time to treat it that his belly didn't tolerate well. During that time, he lost a lot of weight. Did his previous owner limit his food as an attempt to control his digestion issues? Was it food insecurity that led to his desperate dash towards anything he can get in his mouth? Roscoe is currently on a homemade diet (beef, rice, vitamin supplements, pre/pro-biotics) because he was not tolerating the commercial food being fed in his foster home. He's being fostered with multiple pets and his foster mom has found what works best for his needs and her schedule. His new family can certainly find another solution to support his tummy woes, or continue with this homemade recipe. His housebreaking is on track, he will go to the door and circle to let you know he's ready. Wearing a belly band and being kept to a schedule has further promoted his good habits. He’s smart, crafty, and has learned “sit”. When offered treats, you have his full attention so he's highly trainable.. Roscoe can get mischievous if left for longer stretches, a long walk or playtime in the yard would be best before leaving him home alone for any length of time. Let's roll, Roscoe is your ride or die in the car. And keeping in line with that free spirit, he's not a fan of crates, like at all... He loves playing fetch followed by snuggles on the couch for afternoon naps. He accepts grooming and handling with ease and was a fan fave at his last vet visit receiving a perfect report card. Roscoe puts his whole heart into everything he does, including falling for his person. When he loves you, it’s with his whole heart, a truly cosmic and spiritual connection, no reservations. He’s hilarious, snuggly, intense.. a total character, the complete package. We can't paint the full picture of Roscoe's past, but it appears to have embedded some big feelings that he's just now learning how to deal with. By introducing basic guidance to his world, and lots of love and positive reinforcement, he's learned to 'roll with the barks' so to speak... Life is a journey and Roscoe is quickly learning just how sweet it is..
Roscoe needs structure, patience, love and a home that can handle both his GI needs as well as appreciate his behavioral 'opportunities'. A home where he's the apple of your eye, no other pets. An owner who won't fold under pressure and bend to his will by feeding him off their plate (his soulful eye game is strong and not for the weary). As a larceny deterrent, no kids under 10.. He could easily turn them into a foodie accessory after the fact. If you’ve got a big heart, Roscoe will fill every ounce of it with his undivided love.. He’s a fixer-upper who is full of potential and zero interest in sharing you. If you're a previously approved applicant and would like to learn more about Roscoe, please reach out to our Adoption Coordinator directly. If you're new to GMPR (welcome!), please submit an adoption application here. His adoption fee is $375.
