Many thanks to those that came and supported GMPR in the walk a
thon on June 28th. It was so awesome to see so many alumni pugs
and other breeds in attendance. Turn out was great and we raised
over $3,700.00 for our vet bills! Thanks so much, without your
continued support we would not be the rescue everyone turns to in
order to save pugs lives. This past weekend we saved 7 pugs- all
surrenders due to various reasons. Most needed vetting done, some
more than others. Pugs like Lucy in NY with patella surgeries,
major dental work, Cody with his eye removal surgery, Gracie-
double patella surgery, Chrissy- saving her eyes...this would not
happen without your support! Thanks and see you all at the PUG
SOCIAL Sept 20th in TOP NOTCH FIELD IN STOWE:)
GMPR IN THE NEWS:
Last weekend in NY was Pugfest and the costume ball. Pugs
galore. To benefit GMPR and the local humane society. Here are
two clips showing the event. GMPR was the recipient of half of
the profits. Many thanks to all that attended.
As some of you know the Spotlight News was at the Pugfest taking
pictures. They will be coming out with a new addition this
Wednesday with Full Coverage. Don't miss your chance to get a
copy. A preview can be seen by clicking this link:
Meet
Froggie pug 14/08 a save the pugs fund pug FOR SURE!! He is only a year
or two old we were told. He had mange- and horrible patellas and was
emaciated to say the least. He had a skin infection that we treated,
treated for giardia too! This poor boy went through the ringer but he is
a fighter and we love him and gave him all he needed. He has had his
double patella surgery and elongated palate done too:)
Froggie is being fostered in the White River Jct area in VT. His
adoption fee is 350.00
Update
on froggie Jun 24th: Froggie is really coming into himself. He is more
like a puppy every day, and loves to run and play with other dogs. He
likes his toys and chewies, but is pleasantly willing to share then with
my 1 year old granddaughter. He sleeps with us on our bed and likes to
cuddle his little head in between your shoulder and neck, and he falls
asleep there. He really needs to be in a home with another dog as he
would be lost with no canine company. He is not pushy or demanding, but
loves attention and cuddling. He will make the right people a really
great little companion. He has come a long way in his potty training,
but still needs a belly band on in the house. He does NOT poop inside at
all and is mostly good about not peeing, but
I can not completely trust him so I just keep him in the band while in
the house, (except when he is sleeping in our bed, he has NEVER peed on
furniture.) Please consider him as he is an honest little survivor and
has an extremely strong spirit to have fun and enjoy his freedom from
the puppymill life. No cages enclose me, no misery enfolds me. I am free
to run outside no matter the weather, ( preferably in a fenced in yard),
and return to my family to be protected forever. I am a cherished and
loved puppymill survivor.

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:
