Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl.......(you'll be singing that for the rest of the day, you're welcome)..

Stage name "Loba", now known as Lola, is a 2 -year-old beautiful BUGG who headlined the hottest show north of Havana. She took those yellow feathers out of her hair and retired from the burlesque life.. Lola is no stranger to your lap (no pun intended). If you are sitting down, she WILL get on your lap for cuddles. But make no mistake, Lola is no wallflower. She enjoys playing outside and has carefully crafted her zoomie skills.. She gets along great with the other dogs in the foster home, there is even a cat rumored to live there. In typical sketchy cat form, it's only been seen a few times and only comes out at night. Lola has seen this recluse cat, but paid no mind and respected its desire for solitary. Lola is such a good girl, always aiming to please she displays the sweetest, kindest, friendliest demeanor. She allows, even enjoys full on grooming. She has no food, toy or treat aggression. You can give it, take it back, she even loves to share with her foster siblings. There are no kids in her foster home, however we feel she would be just fine with older kids. Her foster mom is working on her 'no jumping' manners.

Since she's always happy to see you, in her excitement she may inadvertently knock over a toddler or newly upright wobbly walker. She's a quick study and has already mastered sit, shake and most monumentally POTTY! She is for the most part house trained, but refreshers would always be in order in a new home. Lola likes to hit the road as your copilot, she's a little excited at first but calms quickly. Lola has lived life in the fast lane, she's ready to detour to the predictable, stable, family-orientated lane.

Lola is looking for an active family, or single person, with or without another mellow dog for companionship. Cats and/or kids are ok. A home that offers plenty of exercise, love and time. Lola is fully vetted and scheduled for her spay, she will be ready to move on to her forever home soon. To learn more about Lola please submit an adoption application (new applicants) or email our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants), her adoption fee is $500.

You may recognize this little lady from her stint on the Vegas strip where she headlined for Moulin Rouge. Stage name "Daisy Dukes", now known as Coco, is a 2 -year-old BUGG who has since retired from the bright lights of Vegas. She hung up her heels and is ready to settle down and enjoy a quieter, family life... Coco is young, svelte and playful. Wanting to keep her figure, she gets her cardio in with playtime in the yard. Get this, her favorite game is fetching balls (can't make this stuff up, folks..) She gets along with the other dogs and cats in her foster home, but she prefers the company, and lap, of her human. Coco loves her snuggles and to be with her person, relaxing on the couch and just chilling. She is a very mild-mannered lady and is super sweet. You can touch her paws, clean her ears, give her a bath, rub her belly, as long as it involves you and her....There are no kids in her foster home, but given her sweet and gentle nature, we feel she would be just fine with them. She picked up on house rules for potty almost immediately, dare we say HOUSEBROKEN?? Her foster mom is working on basic commands (sit, stay) and she's responding very well, she's a quick study. She does great around food, treats, and toys, no aggression whatsoever. Other Animals can eat or be around her food and she is completely unresponsive. She does great in the car, just sits back and enjoys the ride. Overall, she is a sweet and gentle soul looking for her piece of the American dream, a family to call her own.. Quote from her foster mom.."If she's not adopted soon, I will be a foster failure..". She's just a perfect houseguest and a pleasure to have in the home.

Coco is looking for a family, or single person, with or without another mellow dog for companionship. Cats and/or kids are ok. A home that offers equal time play and chill. A fenced in yard would be great for her playtime, but not a requirement so long as walks and regular activities are provided. A home where she gets plenty of attention, plenty of your time, all of your love, and mandatory belly rubs. Coco is fully vetted and scheduled for her spay, she will be ready to move on to her forever home soon. To learn more about Coco please submit an adoption application (new applicants) or email our Adoption Coordinator (previously approved applicants), her adoption fee is $500.

Lucky Lady Lily found her happy ever after with Josh & family on July 21, 2024!

Lily was selectively searching for THE perfect home and found it. We didn't know she was holding out for a garden of delectables (tomatoes = no, blueberries = yes!). No strangers to rescue, Josh, Jennifer & Lanna's home has always been a safe haven for all breeds of rescue. Quote from Josh..."The ones in need always seem to find their way here." And that's exactly what we love to hear in rescue and knew this was the perfect home for our little Lily.

Lucky Lily runs the house with her two senior chihuahua siblings who are happy to share their good fortune while trying to tame her inner wild child.. She's fitting in with the pack and only causing welcome and mild chaos..

Thanks Josh, Jennifer & Lanna for having huge rescue hearts and opening your home to another 'one in need'...

We're beyond thrilled to announce that Melody & Bub, our two partners in crime, found their happy ever after with Liz & Wayne on August 4, 2024.

Melody & Bub are not your average pugs, they're thrill seekers who thrive on boating, camping, hiking & biking... They had an extensive punch list of requirements for their new family. Liz & Wayne checked every box and we couldn't be more excited about this placement. On their gotcha day they went straight to the lake for boating! Thank you, Liz & Wayne, for being serial adopters and giving Melody & Bub their best happy ever after!!!

Meet Luna: Your New Best Friend!

Luna is a sweet little 1.5-year-old white female pug who is ready to find her forever home. She was recently surrendered by her owner after having a litter of puppies, and now she’s ready to start living for herself. Luna loves treats and is the typical food-motivated pug. She enjoys playing with toys when she's with her puppies, but otherwise, she hasn't shown much interest. She's definitely displayed that she's most comfortable and confident when mom'ing her pups. Luna is not protective of her toys or food and is making great progress on her housetraining. She has been sleeping in an x-pen with her puppies, but she would love a bed of her own (or yours) once she's no longer in mom mode. Luna is a bit nervous around new people, likely due to her protective maternal instincts. However, once you pass her sniff test, she loves pets and snuggles. She gets along well with other dogs and even cats. Luna has spent time with a 10-year-old child and had a ball playing with him, she wanted his undivided attention. Due to her playful nature, a home without toddlers is preferred as she might accidentally knock them over in her excitement. Luna super loves being outside and often needs to be coaxed back inside. She’s still figuring out the whole leash thing but has been doing fine with a fenced-in yard in her foster home.

Luna is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy treats, snuggles, and plenty of playtime with a worthy canine companion. Based on Luna's free-spirited nature and love of the outdoors, a fenced yard would be required. We're excited for her new chapter of life, putting herself first, learning trust, love and most importantly a family to call her own. She will be ready to move to her forever home soon, her adoption fee is $500.

If you think you could be the perfect match for this sweet girl, please reach out to our Adoption Coordinator to learn more..

Stacks is a charming 2-year-old Pug who has quite the story. This little adventurer hopped on a plane in Vegas to evade his bookie "friends" and is now looking for a forever home where he can settle down and enjoy the quiet life. Stacks is currently living with his two canine foster brothers and enjoys a good round of zoomies and playful interactions but mostly relaxes around other dogs. He's gentle and easy going, handles grooming like a champ and doesn’t show any signs of food or toy aggression. Stacks has a discerning palate. He’s not a fan of off the shelf milk bones, carrots, peanut butter, or raspberries, but he loves pieces of chicken and high-end packaged treats. Stacks is HOUSEBROKEN and offers obvious signs when he needs to go out, making it easy for his new owner to keep him on track. But as always, a refresher is in order once in his new home of course.. He's mastered the art of car rides, as long as he's been walked and not full of unspent energy, he seems to actually enjoy them. While he can sleep in a crate, Stacks would prefer your bed. He howls for a few minutes when left alone in the crate, so he may not be ideal for apartment or condo living (any shared wall environment). However, he's being such a perfect houseguest in his foster home, his foster mom is confident he could be left out for a few hours at a time. Stacks likes kids and enjoys being around people. He’s affectionate and loves to be near (or on) his people.

He would thrive in an active household where he can get a couple of walks a day or short hikes. He loves being outside, although he’s not a fan of the rain. Stacks is not a barker and is generally unphased by noise, vehicles, or activity. However, he did show some interest in chasing a riding lawn mower and a neighbor’s cat.

Stacks would fit well in any situation but would be happiest with an active person or family who can provide regular walks and outdoor adventures. With or without another dog for companionship, so long as his family has plenty of time to spend with him. And since the only time he showed a less than favorable reaction was to that lawn mower riding cat, a home without cats would be ideal.

Stacks will be ready to move to his forever home soon. To learn more about Stacks please contact our Adoption Coordinator, his adoption fee is $500.

Meet Cesear, now known as Crowley. A 10-year-old fawn male pug who was looking for a quieter life when retiring from Sin City, finding his way to GMPR through one of our many shelter partnerships. He's fine with other small dogs and cats but prefers his person over all. He voices his displeasure when left alone or if you're out of sight for too long. So, apartments or condos (any shared wall environment) will not be the best fit for him. Not knowing his full background outside of him being a made guy and jumping a plane to evade bookies in Vegas, we don't know too much about this little guy's history. We like to think it was a life filled with showgirls, parties, mansions and fancy cars.. But the more likely story is he's been shuffled around and he's uneasy in a new environment. Wanting to trust and love, but approaching with caution. He would enjoy walks as he's very energetic for an older guy, but good energetic, healthy energetic, not bouncing off the walls energetic. He knows his name and sits on command, so someone loved him once. He doesn't settle down quickly to go to sleep and will try to sleep while sitting up, furthering our belief that he previously had to sleep with one eye open. He could have been the getaway driver? He's HOUSEBROKEN, but having a schedule and refresher in a new home should be expected. Crowley wants to be on your lap or just hang out with you wherever you go . His sweet, cheerful demeanor will make him a wonderful pet for an individual or couple, even a family with older children. Being of a distinguished age, fuhgeddaboudit.... he might not have the patience for toddlers. Any family size or shape, so long as they have the time to spend with him and help him to feel safe, secure and loved. He's a fan of all people.
Crowley is in great shape considering his unknown history in coming up through the shelter systems in Vegas, but there has been some neglect. He was fighting an ear and upper respiratory infection and his nails were glamour length. His infections are all cleared up and his nails have been trimmed, but once they get that long it's a process of trimmings every week or so to get them down to an appropriate length.... painlessly. He is a sweet, loving, gentle soul looking for a quiet place to hang his leash and live out his golden years in witness protection, is it with you?

Crowley is ready to move on to his forever home. To learn more about Crowley, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (if previously approved) or submit an online application via GMPR.org/adoptionapp.html, his adoption fee is $250.

Our Sweet Little Lou had the sweetest of happy ever afters in finding his forever home with an entire Alumni family on July 12, 2024.

Mike, Emily and pug'lings Fergus & Layla are all one big GMPR family. Mike & Emily are longtime friends and supporters of GMPR and fostered our Sweet Lou. While they fought the affliction so many of us fosters face tail and paw, foster failure, they eventually succumbed... The three little pug'lings rallied together, their mission....trapping the hearts and minds of Mike & Emily. As expected, Mike & Emily were no match for their pug mind control.. Their family has grown by one and our hearts twofold. Sweet Lou's name should now be Lucky Lou! We congratulate the pug'lings on a job well done and we couldn't be happier for one of our favorite GMPR families!!

Thank you for opening your hears and home once more and giving Sweet Lou the happiest of happy ever afters...

How is Mr Hemi not scooped up by a family?!?!? He is the most sweetest, velcro pug ever! His foster mom has been working really hard with him and he is now housebroken! He has been rehabbed to be able to do stairs and jump on furniture. If anyone wants a new best friend, go to GMPR.org/adoptionapp.html to apply for Hemi ❤️

Meet Hemi, your Future Snuggle Buddy!

Hemi is a brilliant Leucistic Pug (White Pug), 8-years-old, tipping the scales at a dainty at 15 lbs. This glowy little nugget came to GMPR from one of our shelter partnerships. This poor little guy arrived in pretty rough shape, battling ear, eye, and skin infections. But is still so beautiful, so once he gets all cleaned up....look out ladies.. The white pugs are typically more sensitive and require a bit more attention and care. Unfortunately, we believe Hemi lost his hearing due to untreated ear infections. However, this hasn’t dampened his spirits or his ability to follow his foster mom around the house. But thanks to our dedicated team and his loving foster mom, Hemi is on the road to recovery. With medicated baths, responsible care, a good diet, and lots of love, he’s getting healthier every day. Hemi is a super affectionate little pugger who enjoys being the center of attention. He’s friendly with but not too interested in kids or other dogs. He's perfectly compatible living in his foster home with other pets, he just prefers his human and more treats. He is fully housebroken after working with his foster momma! He's left out and about with his canine siblings while foster mom is away and is described as the perfect houseguest, no trouble to report. Hemi prefers the indoors, not a candidate for daily walks or trail walking. He does his business quickly when outside and then wants to retreat back inside. Because in true pug form, most of a certain age would prefer to chill in a comfy bed. He tolerates handling and grooming well, even while nursing his ear infection which we suspect was pretty painful.

What to expect if you'd like to have Hemi join your family:
Hemi would do well in a home with or without kids and other pets. He’s friendly towards everyone and everything, including cats, as long as they are not demons. He’s great in the car, whether in a crate or car seat. At the vet, he was the Mayor. Happily greeting all and loving the attention, remaining cooperative throughout the full body cavity assault. Hemi would thrive with a dog-savvy family that can accommodate his potential Leucistic Pug needs. But who knows, he was allowed to decline in his previous home as well as during his stay at the shelter, once he's back in tip-top shape he might not require any above average care. He’s scheduled for a dental in July where we’ll get a better understanding of his long-term needs. He may have allergies, so a high quality, limited ingredient diet or regular Cytopoint injections or Apoquel could be necessary. He will need eye lubricants daily due to chronic dry eye. Hemi is a bit wobbly in his back end, his foster mom started him on joint supplements which have helped improve his range of motion, this should be continued in his future home. Hemi is a typical friendly pug who loves everyone he meets. If you’re looking for a love bug who will bring joy and that pugzaz to your home, Hemi is the one for you!

If you'd like to learn more about Hemi, please contact our Adoption Coordinator directly, his adoption fee is $375.

Maple is seeking her new home, is it with you?

Flowing, going, mobile, astir, at work, in process, bustling... apparently all synonyms for "Maple"...

Maple is a 1-year-old fawn Pug who surrendered herself to GMPR along with her sister, Willow.... Both Maple & Willow are very active, playful, and full of puppy mischief, but in a good way... They both love being outdoors, their foster family often has trouble convincing them to come back inside. In true puppy fashion, they've never met a chew toy they couldn't destroy, and welcome your challenge should you accept it.....Both are pretty much housebroken, no accidents in the foster home. There was that one time, but who's counting, and it was totally not her their fault.. But seriously, their foster family would confidently say that when kept to their schedule, they're fully housebroken.. These two are like two peas in a pod, but not bonded. Although we are seeking a home for them where there is another younger pet matching their energy for companionship.. Cats, no prob. Kids, ok too as long as they can hang, are well behaved and are respectful of the typical and expected boundaries (no poking, prodding, teasing, etc).. They would love a pint-sized partner in crime to sneak them snacks and play anything, so long as the activity itself is live, engaged and has the word "play" in it..

Maple's ideal home would be an active one that can keep up with her, she's no wallflower. Fully equipped with a canine companion of an equal energy level for daily shenanigans. A fenced yard would be great, but not a requirement so long as adequate, leashed outdoor activities and play time are at her disposal.

If you're interested in learning more about Maple, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (you have her info from your original approval). Maple is fully vetted and ready to move on to her forever home, her adoption fee is $500.

How is this adorable little Boston not adopted yet?!?!? Looking for a new buddy? Buddy, the Boston is the one for you!

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

Meet Buddy the Boston!

Buddy is a 9-year-old Boston Terrier weighing in at 18 lbs. He needs to gain a pound or two, but my crystal ball tells me he'll have no problem in that area with our community of dog lovers. Buddy is a super sweet and gentle soul who recently jailbroke from a puppy mill. Needless to say, he's is still shy and skittish. Fast movements and loud noises scare him. Never having known a kind hand or a soft bed of his own, he's awe struck by his current warm and loving home with good food, happy friends, and a sweet foster mom to give him praise and kisses, and TREATS! He's deemed his crate as his safe place; however, when he decides he can trust you, he allows petting and simply melts in your arms. Buddy lives with a pug and a springer spaniel in his foster home. He doesn’t mind being around them and is curious about their activities. He has tried to mount them a few times, indicating his interest in the ladies, I mean social interactions??? We'll nip all that mounty-mounty business in the bud once he's neutered in July. Despite his shyness, Buddy allowed his foster mom to clip his nails and clean his ears. He’s currently receiving treatment for an ear infection and he has limited hearing due to previous lack of care and the infection left untreated. Buddy also has some arthritis and a luxating patella in his back left knee. But none of that stops him from running and playing and jumping, etc...The vet recommended fish oil and mobility supplements to get his skin, coat and joints back in tip-top shape.. Buddy loves him some treats and is very food motivated, this will prove super helpful in his ongoing training.. He hasn't shown much interest in toys yet but enjoys chewing on bones. Buddy is working on his housebreaking. He uses a doggy door to go outside but has had accidents overnight, likely due to his inability to access that doggy door. He wears a belly band indoors to help manage this. He's very good in the car, quietly sitting and looking out the window in deep thought, wondering when he'll meet his new family maybe??

Buddy needs someone wo understands the plight of a puppy mill survivor. Despite his past, he's a sweet and gentle little man who wants to love you, and be loved by you. He would thrive in a quiet, calm home, ideally with older, lower energy dog(s). Or, as the apple of your eye with no other pets at all. A fenced-in yard is preferred as he loves spending time outside playing and napping in the sun. He hasn't been around children yet, but once settled, he should be fine with kids who understand respectful interaction as well as his need for a gentle and patient touch. Buddy needs a family that understands his past and is willing to work patiently with him as he becomes more comfortable and less fearful. His new family should continue caring for his ears and provide joint supplements for his continued comfort and mobility. Buddy is a sweet little man who deserves the best home filled with love and treats and more love and more treats.. With time, we're certain he will become the perfect couch snuggle buddy. If you have a calm and understanding home, Buddy will reward you with all the loyalty and gentle affection you can handle..

If you'd like to give Buddy the loving home he deserves and make him a part of your family, please contact our Adoption Coordinator (pre-approved) or submit an adoption application (new applicants). Buddy's adoption fee is $300.
