How has this cutie not been adopted?!?! Reggie will be your best friend and be your lap buddy! Let’s share Reggie so we can help him find his forever family ❤️❤️

***AVAILABLE TO NEW AND PREVIOUSLY APPROVED APPLICANTS***

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.

***AVAILABLE TO NEW AND PREVIOUSLY APPROVED APPLICANTS***

Meet Cora, a sweet and spirited 1-year-old female puggle who is ready to find her forever family! Surrendered by her previous owner, Cora is a loving, cautious, and curious dog who seeks a patient, understanding home where she can feel secure and loved. Cora is gentle, affectionate, and loves being around her human. She thrives on attention and seeks to be close to her person at all times, especially enjoying lap time. However, she can be a little possessive of her space, especially when it comes to her human’s lap. She seeks her human's attention and isn't quite sure yet that if she shares it, will she lose it? Cora has a tendency to be possessive of treats & toys, but only when it comes to other pets. She’s comfortable with humans taking things away from her, but she’ll stand her ground with other pets if needed. Cora seeks to be the "alpha" and would do best in a home where she’s the dominant dog, or with a submissive dog who respects her space. Cora can be a little wary of new people but once she gets to know you, she’ll be your best friend. She enjoys human attention and is very affectionate, but she needs time to feel comfortable and build trust. She’s not an overly demanding dog, but she’s cautious and likes to go at her own pace. Cora is always ready for an adventure! She loves spending time with her person and gets excited to go on walks or outings. She would thrive in a home that enjoys spending time with her, whether it's going for a car ride, running errands or just hanging out. She’s active and curious, and she’s ready to go wherever life takes her! Cora would likely do well with older kids who can respect her space and engage in calm playtime with her. Quick or sudden movements might startle her, so she’s best suited for a household where she can have a predictable routine and gentle interactions. Cora is housebroken, but she doesn’t always give obvious signals when she needs to go out. Her new family will need to monitor her closely and give her regular bathroom breaks to identify her signals and keep her on a schedule. Cora is looking for a loving, patient home with an experienced owner who can help her feel secure and confident. A family with older, respectful kids and a submissive dog companion would be ideal. Cora craves human attention and enjoys being part of the family, but she also needs time to adjust and acclimate to her new home.

If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who’s ready to share her adventures and cuddle time with you, Cora could be the perfect match. She will need a little time to decompress and settle into her new routine, but with a patient and understanding family, she will thrive and become the sweet and playful companion you’ve been looking for. Approved Applicants please reach out to our Adoption Coordinator directly, new Applicants please submit an online adoption application via gmpr.org/adoptionapp.html to learn more, her adoption fee is $500.

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 via gmpr.org/adoptionapp.html to learn more, her 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 via gmpr.org/adoptionapp.html to learn more, his adoption fee is $250.

Happy Birthday to Mr Bensun! He is 10 years old today and waiting for a forever home! ❤️

***ADOPTION PENDING***

Meet Bensun, a sweet and submissive Frenchie looking for his forever home. Bensun is a Blue Pied Male French Bulldog who's turning 10 on January 1st, 2025! He's ready to blow out those candles and start the next chapter of his life with his new family! Bensun found his way to GMPR after his original family had to move out of the country. They felt the long trip and transition would be too much for him, so he came into our care and now he’s looking for a loving family to call his own.

Bensun is a calm, and gentle soul, he's very laid-back and a painfully sweet little boy. He’s still adjusting to life in foster care but has settled in nicely. He was cautiously optimistic at first but carried himself calm and curious, he wandered around his new surroundings to check things out. He’s very submissive with both humans and other dogs. He does not guard his food, toys, or space. He’s content to be around other dogs and is especially fond of quiet time and treats! He’s food-driven and will sit patiently to receive a treat. Bensun adores being close to his humans. He sleeps in bed with his foster mom and is a quiet, calm sleeper. He might occasionally wake up in the night to go potty, but overall, he’s a peaceful, cuddly companion. Bensun does have a history of bladder stones with associated UTI's. Because of his bladder health, he’s not fully housebroken, but he is consistent when given a routine and clearly tells you when he needs to go. He does best when taken outside frequently and kept to a schedule. To support his bladder health and prevent any reoccurrence of bladder related health issues, he is on a high-protein, low-filler diet. He is currently eating Orijen Regional Red food, which is specifically designed to help manage his bladder health. He also takes probiotics and bladder supplements. Bensun does have some arthritis but no mobility issues, he can walk, run, jump with ease. However, joint supplements will be important for him to stay comfortable in his senior years. Bensun does get a little nervous in the car, so no cross-country trips for this little guy... Bensun's ideal home is one where someone is home often enough to let him outside on a regular schedule. He's a people-loving, people-pleaser, so a family where there is typically a human around that can provide him with consistent attention and care. Bensun would prefer a home with another dog, he also gets along well with cats, and kids. Although his new home should have older children as he tends to jump when he’s excited and could accidentally knock over a smaller child. He is a calm, low-energy dog who loves to be by your side, whether you’re relaxing at home or running errands. He would thrive in a home where he can be your constant companion. Bensun is a sweet boy who just wants to be by your side, whether you’re lounging on the couch or going on an adventure (as long as the car ride isn’t too long!). If you're looking for a loving companion who thrives on affection and routine, Bensun might be the perfect fit for you.

If you’re interested in adopting Bensun, please reach out to GMPR to learn more. He'll be ready for his forever home soon, his adoption fee is $250..

In rescue, it's easy to become so unbelievably frustrated.. So flat out exhausted, so MC Hammer broke-broke.. So angry towards anything on 2 legs.. Question your life choices....daily... Why continue, thinking to yourself every single day about how easy it would be to just quit and remove all this stress from your life.... That's when life gives you a "Coco & Lola", a reminder of why you do this, why it has to be you and why you can't quit.. So here we are, ugly crying and announcing the adoption of Coco & Lola, a pair of beautiful souls whose bond and rescue journey is nothing short of a Romcom, Hallmark Holiday tear jerker.... When these two first came into our care, they weren’t a bonded pair. They met 'on the road' catching the freedom train ride out of the shelter from Las Vegas to New York and just happened to be placed in the same foster home. As time passed, it became impossible to ignore the deep connection they forged. From playful romps to quiet snuggles, it was clear..... Coco & Lola were happiest when they were together. They were inseparable in every sense of the word. Still not considered a "bonded" pair, they were placed together with a family who happened to be looking for 2 pups. Well, that didn’t work out and the girls were separated for a short time. The moment they were reunited, it was like a weight had been lifted. You could see their scared, insecure eyes brighten and they were once again whole. It was undeniable, they needed each other.

Their dedicated foster mom, Christy, who loved them like her own, felt her heart break alongside ours when their first adoption fell through. The heartache only grew as applicants passed them by, not wanting to adopt a pair. But along came Alisa and Brandon.... From the moment they met Coco & Lola, it was as if the stars had aligned. Alisa & Brandon understood that this duo was more than just two pets, they were family. It was a match made in heaven, and we knew in our hearts that this was the fairy tale ending Coco & Lola had been waiting for.

So, with ugly tears of joy we celebrate Coco & Lola’s forever home. The girls have found their perfect people, and it’s a love story we’ll always cherish. Coco & Lola, your journey has been full of twists and turns, but in the end, you’ve found the happily ever after you always deserved.

Thank you, Christy, for never giving up hope that we'd find their happy ending. And thank you Alisa & Brandon for coming along and being the humans they were holding out for....
