Story
Shut the front door—meet Ellie! This stunning girl is elegance, brains, and heart all wrapped into one gorgeous 1-year-old Border. Ellie is about 30 lbs (could use ~5 more) and absolutely shines in an active home that can keep up with her quick mind and happy feet.   Ellie’s play style is fast and her energy is high, making her an ideal match for an outdoorsy family or an individual looking for a running or hiking buddy. She’s clever (counter-surfers beware ), eager to learn, and would be a fantastic agility prospect with the right guidance and enrichment.   She’s house trained, good with other dogs and cats, and uses her crate by choice—it’s there for her comfort, not confinement. Ellie would thrive with a large yard or acreage where she can stretch her legs and put her smarts to work.   If you’re ready for a loyal, athletic companion who just needs the right energy match, Ellie might be your girl.   More info: 949-456-7032 or 949-842-2517 Apply to adopt: www.greendogfoundation.com Email: greendogfoundation@gmail.com   Physical Qualities   Age: 1 year Weight: ~30 lbs (could gain ~5 lbs) Breed: Border Collie  Coat/Color: Black & white Temperament: Smart, energetic, affectionate Training: House trained; crate trained Compatibility: Dogs &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Cats &#226&#156&#148&#239&#184&#143 Ideal Home: Active lifestyle, enrichment-focused, yard or acreage    March 8, 2026, 1:58 pm

Taz Jr. and his two sisters, Goldie and Spotty, were found in the home of their deceased owner and were in rough shape when they were rescued. Despite his difficult start, Taz Jr. has shown nothing but a sweet, gentle disposition and a quiet resilience that makes everyone who meets him root for his happy ending.   He walks nicely on leash and enjoys getting out for strolls. What he really needs now is a loving forever home where he can settle into a routine, decompress, and finally feel safe and cared for. With a little patience and a lot of love, Taz Jr. will blossom into an incredibly loyal and devoted companion.   If you're looking for a kind-hearted dog with soulful eyes and a sweet smile, Taz Jr. may be the perfect addition to your family.

Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process  After her owner was found passed away, Goldie survived over a week without food or water before being rescued. Despite this trauma, her spirit remains incredibly sweet and her loyalty to humans is unwavering. Currently weighing 39 pounds, Goldie is a little underweight and needs a patient home where she can focus on physical recovery and decompression. She grew up alongside other dogs and finds great comfort in their company, so her ideal forever home is with an existing canine sibling to help her feel at home again.  Goldie is a devoted companion who is ready to leave her past behind. She’s only 4 years old. She just needs a family willing to provide the steady meals and abundant love necessary to help her become her healthiest self again.

Story
Echo is a 4-year-old male Border Collie / Blue Heeler mix and is neutered. He is: AMAZING with kids (super patient & gentle) House trained & crate trained Up to date on vaccinations Ball driven (not food motivated) Loves fetch and will play until he’s out of energy LOVES to cuddle and be with his people Sweet, loyal, and very affectionate Echo can be reactive on leash or through barriers (fences/gates), but with proper introductions he is happy to play or coexist. He is not aggressive. Echo would love an active individual or family, preferably with herding breed experience, who can give him exercise, structure, and mental stimulation. Due to military orders, frequent moves, limited space for the level of exercise he needs and the logistics of travel (including overseas relocation), we can no longer provide the long-term stability Echo deserves. This decision is about circumstances — not behavior. No rehoming fee
