Ace and Dame were adopted on Saturday, 6-15-13 by Jane Buffett of Camden, ME. Jane has had pugs
for over 45 years. Her very first paycheck when she became an RN was to purchase her 1st Pug.
Over the years, Jane has always had 2 pugs at a time as she believes that they do best in pairs.
She recently lost her last pug at the ripe old age of 17 years old. She was missing the snorts
and snots of pugs and along came Ace and Dame, a very sweet pair of special pugs. Ace and Dame
were surrendered by their owner, an RN who had fallen on hard times. Loving them as much as she
did, she made the difficult decision to surrender them to GMPR. We are delighted that Ace and
Dame have found a home together with a pug person who will adore them, and spoil them as much as
their former Mom did. The start of this story is tragic, but the ending is perfect! Ace and Dame
will continue to recieve the love they have always known, and provide the joy that only pugs know how to do!

Bella Rose was adopted on 5/28/13 by Margaret MacDonald of Jericho, VT.
Bella Rose was surrendered to GMPR because she was not receiving enough attention and was crated for long hours
at a time. Bella Rose objects to being crated and barked non-stop when she was. The apartment living situation
was not conducive to Bella Rose barking all day and night. Other than the crate barking, Bella Rose is an
absolutely perfect pug, housebroken, social, and loving.
Congratulations Margaret and Bella Rose! We are so happy you found each other!

Jake the Puggle has been adopted by Eddie Bennett and Family of North Conway, NH on 5-18-13.
Eddie and his partner, Christopher, run a Bed and Breakfast Inn. They have 2 adorable children
and now that their B&B is up and running, felt it was time to add a dog to their family. They
took care of a pug for 6 months when their friends moved to England. Eddie grew up with Beagles,
so a Puggle was a natural choice.
If you ever get to North Conway, NH, please stop in at the Cranmore Inn and visit with Jake, Eddie, and Family!!

Sweet Karma was adopted on Saturday, 4-27-13 by Deborah Skillman of East Kingston, NH.
Karma was rescued from a puppymill and sent to prison!
Which is a good thing!
She was placed in the Prison Cell Dog Program, where she was socialized, and much loved by several inmates
during the year she was there. This is a wonderful program where dogs are given a 2nd chance at life, and
the inmates benefit as well. Dogs can touch your heart and help people express love and emotions. It is
a rigorous program where certain standards are met monthly. The dogs graduate and are ready for their new
forever homes.
Debby recently lost her pug Julie Rose and Karma came along at just the right time to fill up the hole in
her heart. Karma is Debby's 3rd GMPR Alumni Pug.
