The 20 pugs rescued from GMPR and Gert's adoption

Gert got adopted yesterday and her new parents are over the moon, I am so happy for her, and Viv is noticeably happier today!

The pugs from Missouri came in yesterday, it was quite a scene! With the exception of only a few they were in really good shape, groomed, nails cut etc. Karen the pres of GMPR said the breeder was actually decent to talk to, even though she was a puppy miller she did take very good care of these dogs.
All three of our news stations came and our local paper so they got great coverage.

Here is a pic of me and one that was just a sweetie.


Also go to my facebbok page, you will see the rest of the pics and a link to one of the news stations.

These guys will have no problem getting adopted, they were all really good looking and sweet.

look at all of them!



The guy who transported them said they were easier to transport than any other dog he has transported!

Sooooooooooooooo darn cute!

Such good news for Gertie!

And I must say, those puppymill girls do look happy and healthy, not like the sad, terrified, sick little faces you usually see in these cases.

What Rona said! It nice to see a rescue where the conditions don't make you feel sick!

Here is a group shot of all the people and pugs, some of the people drove down three hours to help out.

Fantastic. Well done, all.

Way to go. I love to see puppymill pugs get sprung. Is that a puppy in the bottom left?

18 of the pugs were between the ages of 1-6, then there were two puppies, I have not been around a puppy since Viv was one. They were adorable. I'm sure they will get adopted first.

The puppies really got me choked up when I was watching the news video because they will never have to know the horror of growing up in a hell hole/puppymill. They are all so fortunate to have an angel like Karen & GMPR looking out for them.

I know, there were so many peole saying the same thing. I admire people like Karen and Judy for devoting all there free time to making GMPR what it is.

Yay for Gertie and awesome job on the puppy mill pugs!! Good thoughts for them all!

GREAT pic (of you and the sweetie who got to be hugged by you)!

GOOD JOB!

I don't care... A puppymill is a puppymill is a puppymill... No matter what.

I had been following this all weekend on Facebook. I am so thankful Karen could get them out of there!

Donna, the set up in the van - was that specifically for this transport? Are the dividers removeable? I've just never seen anyone transport dogs like that.

I know, but it was nice for a change to see these guys in such good shape, they were clean, nails were trimmed and all but a few were very social.

That van was great, I thought it would be 10 or 20 crates. I have no clue if that ws the guys van or what. I will have to ask Karen how she found him.

Yay for Miss Gertie!! What a cute picture of you Donna with the pug. The back of the van looks like Romper Room for pugs I bet that was a fun transport with all the snorting going on
Thanks so much for sharing the great news!

They have gotten over 75 phone calls with all the press they got between Sunday and yesterday!
These puggies will go fast.
