Story
Rosie is loyal, sassy and silly, and very affectionate. She’s a 6-year-old, 20 lb Chihuahua/Dutch Shepherd/Pit Bull mix. She loves hiking and jogging but she equally adores snuggling under a blanket for hours, licking her humans, and napping in the sun all day. Rosie has a big personality—if she wants something, she’ll let you know, and her playful sass always brings a smile. Rosie forms deep bonds with her primary person and is incredibly loyal—she’ll follow you everywhere like a little shadow and loves curling up close at night. She’s best in a home without young children, as their fast movements and unpredictability can make her feel uneasy. Rosie’s a true foodie and is highly motivated by treats. Rosie’s owners have loved and cared for her since she was one year old and are heartbroken to part with her. They are planning to have a child and know that Rosie isn’t comfortable around young children. They hope to find a loving forever home where she will be safe, happy, and cherished.

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

Story
Dexter is a spry senior who is looking for a new home after the passing of his previous owner. He was clearly well loved and well cared for, and that shows in his happy, confident demeanor. This sweet 10-pound boy has a spunky, happy-go-lucky personality and will keep you smiling with his charming ways. Dexter enjoys being close to his person and would be a wonderful companion for someone who is home more often and looking for loyal company. We are currently reinforcing his house training, and in the meantime Dexter wears a belly band. He does great on a leash and truly enjoys his daily walks, as well as exploring the backyard at his own pace. Dexter is good with other dogs and friendly when meeting new people. While he isn’t a barker, he will politely alert you if someone is at the door. If you’re looking for a devoted senior companion with lots of personality and love to give, Dexter may be the perfect fit for you. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 If you are interested in meeting Dexter, please complete the adoption application on our website at www.greatpets.org. Dexter is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. His adoption donation is $150.February 15, 2026, 9:00 pm
