Story
Meet Princess! This beautiful little Hesperia Shelter survivor is ready for her happily ever after. Princess appears to be a long-haired Chihuahua/Dachshund-type mix, with the sweetest, gentlest personality. She can be a little shy when she first meets you, but once she feels safe, her loving and cuddly side starts to shine. She does well with other dogs and may actually benefit from having a friendly fur brother or sister to help build her confidence. Princess would thrive in a calmer home with someone who has plenty of time to spend with her—possibly someone who works from home or is home often. She’s not asking for much… just patience, love, and a safe place where she can blossom. Princess is fully vetted, including vaccines, deworming, flea/tick treatment and microchip, and her spay is being scheduled. This gentle little soul has already survived the shelter. Now she’s waiting for the best part of her story—a forever family of her own. ❤️ Could Princess be your girl? Princess is 10.5 lbs and about a year old    For more information contact: 949-842-2517 To apply for adoption: https://greendogfoundation.org/application-for-adoption/October 7, 2026, 12:13 pm

Meet this handsome 10-pound, approximately 2-year-old little gentleman, Milo! With his beautiful, warm honey-colored coat, soulful honey-colored eyes, adorable face, and compact size, he is absolutely charming. But his good looks are only part of what makes him special. He is very well-behaved, gentle, and easygoing. He does not bark unnecessarily and walks beautifully on a leash, making him a wonderful companion for walks and outings. He is friendly and gets along with other dogs and cats and enjoys being around people. He knows and follows basic commands and is eager to please. He has a calm, sweet personality and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loving, well-mannered little dog. He is the kind of dog who is easy to love and easy to have around—handsome, affectionate, well-behaved, and ready to become someone’s loyal best friend. ❤️ If you're interested in adopting Milo, please fill out an application at www.doggiebonez.com.

Story
Chiquita is a 13-year-old Chihuahua who came to us from a hoarding situation involving 18 dogs in Palmdale, California. After spending much of her life in an overcrowded environment, she is now discovering a world that is much bigger—and much kinder—than she ever knew. Like many dogs from hoarding situations, Chiquita can be nervous when faced with new experiences. But what has stood out most about her is her bravery. Rather than staying hidden away, Chiquita has shown a willingness to step forward and introduce herself to the people who have been helping her. She seems to understand that the humans around her are trying to earn her trust, and she has been open to giving them a chance. Chiquita is also wonderfully curious. While she may approach new things with caution, she wants to see and experience them for herself. Whether it’s exploring a new space, investigating unfamiliar sounds, or checking in on what everyone else is doing, her curiosity often helps her overcome her uncertainty. Because of her past, there are still many things Chiquita is learning about life in a loving home. She will benefit from a patient adopter who can continue building her confidence and helping her navigate the world at a pace that feels comfortable for her. The good news is that Chiquita seems eager to keep making progress. After everything she’s been through, Chiquita deserves a family that will celebrate her courage, nurture her curiosity, and give her the love she’s always deserved. In return, you’ll gain a sweet companion who is proving every day that it’s never too late for a fresh start. Chiquita is ready to begin her next chapter—could it be with you?

Story
Blanca is an 8-year-old Chihuahua who came to us from a hoarding situation involving 18 dogs in Palmdale, California. Having spent much of her life in an overcrowded environment, Blanca is now learning what it means to be safe, cared for, and loved as an individual. As we continue to get to know her, Blanca has shown herself to be a sweet, gentle, and mellow little companion. She enjoys the simple things in life—a comfortable place to rest, a predictable routine, and the reassurance that she’s finally in a loving home. Like many dogs from hoarding situations, Blanca was never given the opportunity to learn many of the basic skills and experiences that most dogs take for granted. She will benefit from a patient adopter who can help her continue building confidence and discovering the world at her own pace. While she shares the same calm and affectionate nature as many of the dogs rescued alongside her, Blanca has also started to reveal a protective side. She’s incredibly observant and likes to keep an eye on her people, especially when visitors arrive. It’s her own special way of looking out for those she loves. After everything she’s been through, Blanca is ready for a fresh start with a family who will cherish her for the wonderful little dog she is. In return, she’ll offer quiet companionship, unwavering loyalty, and a heart full of gratitude. Blanca is ready to spend her golden years surrounded by the love she has always deserved—could that be with you?

Story
Flo is a 10-year-old Terrier who came to us from a hoarding situation involving 18 dogs in Palmdale, California. After spending years in an environment where she received little individual attention and had very limited exposure to the world around her, Flo is now facing a whole new life—and it’s a lot for her to take in. Right now, Flo is still learning that people can be kind, that homes can be safe, and that she no longer has to worry about where her next meal or resting place will come from. She is understandably cautious, uncertain, and still trying to figure out who she can trust. While some of the other dogs from her rescue group have settled in more quickly, Flo is taking a little longer to find her footing, and that’s perfectly okay. What Flo needs most is a patient adopter who will let her move at her own pace. She isn’t looking for someone to rush her progress—she’s looking for someone willing to celebrate the small victories, whether that’s accepting a gentle touch, choosing to sit nearby, or simply feeling comfortable enough to relax. Despite her fears, we believe there is a wonderful dog waiting to emerge as Flo continues to gain confidence. Every day, she takes small steps toward trusting the people around her, and those glimpses remind us that she is trying her best to understand this new world. After everything she’s been through, Flo deserves a family that will offer her the time, compassion, and reassurance she’s never truly had. With patience and love, we have no doubt that Flo will discover that she is finally safe—and that the best chapter of her life is still ahead of her. Could you be the one to help her write it?
