We are thrilled to share that Murphy recently joined his forever family! 🎉 Many months ago Murphy was a skinny, scared, visually-impaired stray brought into the shelter. When we picked him up and took him to the vet, we learned that he was actually completely blind AND heartworm positive. 😭 We did his neuter procedure and, following recovery, began heartworm treatment. His foster mom, Melissa, took him to all of his appointments, fed him nutritious food that improved his weight and his coat, and provided love and care throughout their time together. After his treatment was complete, we began the search for the perfect forever family. Enter William, Kalee, and kiddos. 😍 We loved everything about their application, and knew they were the perfect match for Murphy. From the minute they laid eyes on him, they were in love. Murphy now gets to sleep in the human bed with his brother and he is his dad’s favorite coworker. 🥰 We are grateful - to his new family for choosing rescue, to his foster mom for seeing him through treatment, to the vet for providing amazing medical care, and to the folks who first notified us about the scared little pug boy in the shelter. It truly takes a village. Happy Adoption, Murphy!! 🐾❤️

Today is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, a day set aside to honor the memories of pets we have loved and lost. Pets enrich our lives in innumerable ways, and there are no words to describe the anguish of losing them. We hope that on this day you relish the memories and cherish the time you had together.

We would like to honor the memory of the beloved pug our organization lost this year, Buddy. Buddy was a sweet, gentle boy who was overcome by a rare illness (blastomycosis) that took his eyesight, ability to walk, and eventually, his ability to breathe. We will minimize the details here, as they were shared previously, but we had to make the gut-wrenching decision to help him cross the rainbow bridge. We cherish the time that Buddy was with us, and look back fondly, with tear-filled eyes, on the pictures and videos we hold dear.

Today, on Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, we remember you, Buddy, and the big ways you impacted our lives forever. We love you forever and will never forget. ❤️

Handsome little Bug (male, age 4) recently joined us when his human fell on hard times. He rode in the car like a champ, peeking out the window in between naps. He went in for his intake wellness exam and vaccinations. He is a thick guy, weighing just over 23lbs, so we will work with his foster home to help him shed a few pounds. His ears were infected and inflamed, so he received treatment for that and will start to get some relief soon. His teeth have horrible plaque buildup and his back teeth have decay so he will need a dental. Lymph nodes in his neck were slightly swollen, which could be attributed to the ear infection and dental decay, but we will continue to monitor the lymph nodes as we mark those off the list. Thank you so much to Melissa for her willingness to foster him, only a handful of days after her long-term foster was adopted - she’s spectacular! 🤩 Stay tuned for a Bug-a-boo video 🥰 Welcome to the GPPR family, Bug!! ❤️

CiCi (female, age 4) is a breeder release who recently joined us. She is a gorgeous girl who is laid back and just goes with the flow. 🥰 Today she had her wellness exam and vaccines and got some preventative antibiotics for a torn dew claw. She is on the downhill slide of a heat cycle, so her lady parts are still swollen but once things return to normal she will go in for a spay. She weighed in at 25.2 lbs, so a little heavier than is recommended, but we will work with her foster home to get her eating and exercising appropriately to shed a few pounds. So far, we have determined that she loves to be right by your side and will just sit and stare up at you in admiration. 🤩 (Either that, or our transporter had leftover lunch on her face .🤔🤣) Anyway, CiCi is the most darling little girl and we are grateful to Bryan and Brooke for their willingness to foster her!! Welcome to the GPPR family, CiCi! We’ll post a video next so you can see her in all her glory!! 😍

In early 2024, a black male pug with two badly damaged eyes had been found wandering blindly down the road in the pouring rain. 💔 Someone got him to animal control, who took him to the vet. The vet told them he needed a single enucleation for sure. The other eye was on the verge of rupturing but if they stitched it closed it might heal enough to have partial vision in it. The vet gave him pain meds and animal control took him back to the shelter while they reached out to rescues. We were contacted, agreed to take him, and arranged to pick him up immediately and go straight to the vet because we wanted to try and save that eye. However, sadly, it ruptured on the way to the vet. The transporter was devastated and sat on the floor at the vet office rocking him and crying. He still had no name, so she called him Henry. Henry had double enucleation surgery the next morning and had to stay in the hospital a couple of days. When he got released, Cathy and Sam, two of our team members, were there to pick him up, take him to their house, and foster him through his recovery. He began to adapt to life with no sight, and learned his way around their home with the help of his foster brother. Before long, everyone fell in love with Henry and they decided to make him a permanent part of their family. We were THRILLED that he got to keep his amazing and loving family and would never have the stress of learning a new family and environment. Because Henry’s humans help with the rescue, we get to see him from time to time. 😍 He is a joyful, loving boy who does not let the absence of eyes slow him down, instead, he sees the world with his heart. ❤️ When we realized Henry’s one-year adoption anniversary had already rolled around (where does time go?! 😅) we knew we needed to get their pic taken and story finally posted. Sometimes in the day to day chaos of rescue, our own team adoption announcements take a backseat, but they are no less important. Happy Adoptiversary, Henry and family - it’s never too late to CELEBRATE a fabulous foster fail!! 🎉 Thanks so much to Sam and Cathy for giving Henry a safe, loving home and for all they do for GPPR! 🥰

When Stacia shared these pics of Eric and Zoey, we lost our ever-lovin’ minds from cuteness overload! 🤪😂 Now that we’ve recovered, we knew it was imperative we share them first thing on FRIYAY to kick off your weekend right! From Zoey living her entire life in a backyard having puppies, to vacationing in Florida in matching tropical shirts with her daddy… well, the pics speak for themselves. 😍😭🥰 One text from a concerned neighbor (shoutout to Crystal ❤️) set in motion three pugs being rescued from a backyard - pugs that now have new families and a new outlook on life. The domino effect from one person who took action has brought much happiness to pugs and people alike. If you see something 👀, say something 🗣️, because rescue changes lives. Have a FABULOUS Friday!!! 👏🏼🎉
