May 17, 2008 The Bark Heard Around the
World to be held at the Yates County Fairgrounds in Penn Yan NY
from 10am-4pm . This event is so timely for upstate NY, as one of the
"kennels" in this area was just granted a permit to increase the size
of his operation from 60 to 260 dogs. That just drives us more to do
everything possible to get the word out about this inhumane practice!
This is a national event with speakers coming in from Utah to talk
about puppymills. GMPR will be there with some board of directors and
volunteers and set up a booth with some puppymill survivors. We will
have pug items for sale and talk up our stories of Sonny Ray, Maggie
and special puppymill survivors from GMPR..
Please come meet GMPR in Penn Yan NY - this
event is near and dear to our hearts, educating people on puppymills
and the needs of the survivors. We will have lots of pug information,
pug items for sale and puppymill information at our booth. STOP BY and
say hi!:)

Who We Are
Green Mountain Pug Rescue is a 501 (c)
(3) non profit rescue group of volunteers within Vermont, New
Hampshire & parts of New York. Pugs come to us from Owner
Surrenders, Shelters, Puppymills, etc. They are placed in loving
foster homes for their evaluation on their personalities and what
home would be best suited for the. The receive vet care too if
needed. Gmpr covers all shots, Hw/lyme tests, bloodwork prior to
surgery to ensure they are healthy, spay/neuter and dentals if
needed. We work to ensure that the pug is as healthy as we can get
them prior to adoption. If there is anything wrong long term- we
will tell you in their bio.
Green Mountain Pug Rescue is supported by an all volunteer staff.
We are only able to help pugs through the generous monetary
donations and volunteer time that people graciously give. If you
want to help us with events and such- fill out a volunteer form on
our site here. Thanks to all the volunteers!
Donations to GMPR go for vet care for the pugs, and anything they
need while in GMPR. We work closely with lots of rescues to ensure
that all pugs in our area are safe and secure. We educate people
on puppymills and what that means. A large % of our pugs here come
from puppymills and we are very committed to helping these
precious pugs learn love, patience, and trust!
If you would like to donate to GMPR, send your donations to our
treasurer:
