Story
Sweet Zucchini  has come a very long ways since his shelter days when he found him self to be euthanized because he was scared. Despite his fear we knew we could turn this cutie pie around and get him to trust but also crave interaction with people. Zucchini is aprox 9 lbs 3-5 years neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Zucchini in new environments may need a little warm up time, but the cutest thing he does, is tilt his head down like a parrot for head and ear scratches. He has learned to walk on a leash and now has discovered how much fun going to the park and exploring is. Zucchini best play buddy is Snap who also almost lost her life at the shelter for being scared! These two would do great as a pair and play so very well together too. For more information on Zucchini please contact his foster mom at 949-842-2517 To Apply for adoption go to: www.greendogfoundation.comOctober 5, 2025, 4:08 pm

Story
Meet Tiny Tina — a precious 4 lb pound bundle of love! At around 3 years old, this petite little Chihuahua is as adorable as they come. She’s sleek black with a darling white stripe on her chest and the sweetest expression you’ve ever seen. Tina is fully potty trained and walks beautifully on a leash. She enjoys her strolls just as much as she enjoys snuggling up under warm blankets. Whether it’s a cozy night in or a little adventure out and about, Tina is happiest right by her person’s side. She is crate trained and sleeps peacefully in her crate at night, though she’d be just as content cuddled up in bed with you. Tina thrives in a loving home with older children and does well with small dogs and even cats. Tiny Tina is a devoted little companion who bonds closely with her people. With love, reassurance, and consistency, she blossoms into a loyal, affectionate shadow who simply wants to share life with you. If you’re searching for a tiny, portable best friend to cherish and take everywhere, Tiny Tina is ready to steal your heart! Tiny Tina was in heat when surrendered!  She will get spayed and a dental once the heat cycle is fully over. Tiny Tina has had her shots and will get rabies when she gets spayed and she’s also micro chipped. Being that she’s so tiny, we didn’t want to give all the shots all at once and we want to wait till she’s well recovered to do the spay For more information Contact greendogfoundation@gmail.com Or you can fill out an application for adoption at www.greendogfoundation.com Or call 949-842-2517. This girl would do best in a stable, quiet environment with older kids or adultsFebruary 12, 2026, 7:57 pm
