Meet
pug #12/10 Buster, 13 yrs old vt owner surrender. Here is his
story: Hello, my name is Buster, but my foster mom calls me Buzz
and my foster Daddy calls me Buster Brown. I am 13 years old, but
you wouldn't know it, because I am in such great shape! My vision
is impaired with cataracts, but I get around really well. My
foster mom has cataracts too, and she says people pretty much
accept her that way. I was the 3rd pug placed on the GMPR 2005
Rescued Pugs Page on the Website. My name was Gent. I lived 8
years in a puppymill and was adopted by my most wonderful Mom. We
shared 5 fabulous years together. She got awfully sick and had to
give me up. It has been really difficult, and sometimes I still
find myself looking for her. She was really good to me and
although I never got the finer points of housebreaking, she loved
me anyway. A belly band with a diaper prevents accidents. In my
foster home, I'm learning a bit about schedule and going when the
other pugs go. I'm a healthy guy, except for a bit of arthritis. I
lost part of my jaw 5 years ago when GMPR rescued me. My
periodontal disease was severe, so I lost a lot of teeth along
with the jaw. My Mom made sure I had dental treatments every year
and although I don't have many teeth left, I eat just fine! I am a
complete love bug and velcro pug. I will be your best companion if
you adopt me. My adoption fee is $150 but if you are a senior like
me, GMPR will waive the fee. I am being fostered in Rutland, VT.
Senior Pugs Rule!!!! |

 Meet
Pug # 2/10 Face a 10 yr old pug dropped off at a DC shelter when
his owner was evicted from their home. Adoption is 150.00 and
eligible for the SENIOR FOR SENIOR program. Face is being fostered
in Barre, VT He lost 6 teeth at his dental. He is on ear meds now.
He is much friendlier now and is trying to play a bit with toys
however he is still a bit on the fragile side and my guess is that
he would love a home with a wonderful Senior who could appreciate
all of his gentle hugs and cuddles. This boy is never happier than
when in your lap and laying firmly against you. |

Meet
Pug # 3/10 Popeye a 10 yr old pug dropped off at a DC shelter
when his owner was evicted from their home. He is a larger pug and
is neutered. Adoption fee will be 150.00 and eligible for the
SENIOR FOR SENIOR program. Popeye is being fostered in NH
1/21/10
Popeye is doing great and settling in very well. When he first
came he was grumpy and did not like sudden movements or unexpected
hands coming toward him. I now believe this to be because he was
hurting and did not want to be touched. He had severe ear
infections and needed a dental badly. Medication cleared up his
ears and the Vet took out 10 teeth on Tuesday which were all
infected around the roots! Popeye now only has ten teeth left and
his tongue is constantly sticking out a bit from his mouth. A
small price to pay for feeling so much better! Popeye is also now
playing tag/chase with the other dogs. He is much more active and
is not grumpy at all! He has started to sleep with my youngest son
and stays right by his feet all night. He does well on the 4 steps
to get outside however is a bit scared of the big flight of stairs
but we are working on this. In the past I have always had to go to
him to initiate affection. Tonight as I was writing this I found
one of the pugs crawling into my lap for pats. I was most
pleasantly surprised to find it was Popeye!!! He has 7 more days
of antibiotics to clear up his mouth and then will be ready for
adoption. He is turning into the perfect Sr. Pug and will be a
wonderful addition to someone's family! |

 Meet
pug # 112/09 Frank- a blind male pug dob 12/9/03- a pa puppymill
survivor.. he is fostered in NY. his adoption fee will be $250.00
Very sweet and learning very fast where everything is and loves
out doors!:) He's doing really well. He's mostly house-broken.
He's good with our dog door, and manages the steps to the back
yard with no problems. Being blind, he's not crazy about going
down the big stairs in the house, but he is getting better.
Frank's blindness doesn't stop him! He loves to walk around
checking things out. He's affectionate but not overly needy and
I've seen no aggression issues so far. I suspect that Frank would
adapt well to many family situations as long as there were no
small children he could bowl over. He's a big boy, and he
frequently walks into us when he thinks his path is unencumbered.
My husband has nicknamed this a "drive-by Franking".

Meet pug #100/09 Haley dob 10/30/03 a PA Puppymill survivor. She
fully vetted and ready for adoption. Her adoption fee is $250.00
Hailey- is So pretty! She is fostered in Milton VT. She loves to
play with toys now and even instigates play with the other dogs. I
would probably recommend a home w/ another dog as a companion for
her. I think she finds a sense of security with them. I also would
not recommend her to a home with small children. She gets along so
well with the my other dogs. If she isn't laying at my side, I
will usually find her curled up with one of my other pugs. She is
very attached to me, follows me from room to room, can't let me
out of her sight, she even sleeps with her head on my pillow at
night!! We're still working on the housetraining thing, but she
has definitely improved in that area. She still needs to have a
watchful eye on her but she has gotten much better. She truly is a
sweetheart that loves to be near her human at all times and she
definitely loves the companionship of other pugs!! ~Foster mom,
Kiley

along with everyone and everything with paws or without. She has
discovered her voice and likes to bark when she's outside and when
someone knocks on the door. Due to her jaw issue, she can only eat
soft food. She loves attention and being at your feet or on them!
