Brutus, a 7 year old puppymill survivor was adopted on 12/28/12 by Paul Haley and Family of Albany, NY. Brutus was in pretty rough shape and required several months in foster care before he was ready for adoption. GMPR rescued 10 pugs from an Arkansas puppymill and they arrived in NY and VT emaciated, with serious, yeasty skin issues, and crusty eyes. Brutus was very shy at first, but thrived in foster care. Congratulations Paul on your adoption of this sweet pug!!

Bo was adopted on 12/28/12 by Debra Goodwin of Concord, NH. Bo was surrendered because the new Gal in Dad's life was extremely allergic to him. Bo is such a sweetheart that his foster mom fell head over heels in love with him. Bo became what is commonly know as a "Foster Failure" and was adopted by his foster mom. Welcome to the GMPR Family Bo and Debbie!

12/20/12 Pug #159 Frankie - Frankie/Wilbur has his forever loving home for Christmas. Frankie was born on 7/30/12 to Lula who was a Missouri puppy mill rescue. Lula arrived in VT on 7/29/12 and delivered 5 puppies the next day. Frankie was the runt of the litter and weighed about half a much as the rest of the puppies. He was so small and his head was so big, that we called him the Bobble Headed Puppy. Small, but mighty, and incredibly cute, Frankie beat the odds and grew into a healthy, happy pup. His Godmother, Lil, who assisted with his delivery, fell in love with him at the moment of his birth. Frankie who is now Wilbur was adopted by Lil and Dana Bock. Frankie is now 21 weeks old and weighs in at at whopping 9.8 lbs.!!

He had been dropped at the shelter by his family who no longer wanted him. Duke's original name was Hermit and when he arrived in VT, we knew why. Duke was a hermaphrodite which meant that he had parts of both male and female sex organs. He was mostly male, so his foster mom felt that Duke was a more appropriate name.
