Story

Meet Ginger — It’s Finally Her Turn. Ginger came to Green Dog Foundation from the San Bernardino Shelter when she was full-term pregnant and scheduled to be spayed, which would have ended her pregnancy. We were able to get her safely out of the shelter, and shortly afterward, Ginger gave birth to six beautiful, healthy puppies. She was an absolutely wonderful mama. Her babies thrived under her loving care, and now that most of them have gone on to their forever homes, it’s finally Ginger’s turn. â¤ï¸ And whoever adopts this girl is going to be very lucky. Ginger is truly a sweetheart. She loves people, loves other dogs, and seems to approach just about everything with her gentle, easygoing personality. She is housebroken, leash trained, great in the car and loves nothing more than cuddling up next to you in bed. She is generally quiet, but she still enjoys playing and has a wonderful time romping with the younger dogs here at the ranch. She’ll give you a bark when someone is outside, but otherwise she’s a pretty quiet little girl. And perhaps one of the nicest things we can say about Ginger: she is just EASY. She isn't destructive, she isn't troublesome, and she isn't looking for ways to get herself into mischief. She simply wants to be loved and to belong to someone. After raising six puppies and watching them begin their new lives, this sweet mama deserves a family of her very own. We know she will give someone many years of devoted love and companionship. Spayed Microchipped Up to date on vaccinations Housebroken Leash trained Good in the car Great with other dogs Professional cuddler â¤ï¸ Ginger's adoption fee is $450. To submit an adoption application, visit Green Dog Foundation . For more information, call Krissy at (949) 456-7032 or email greendogfoundation@gmail.com. Her babies got their happy endings. Now it’s Mama Ginger’s turn. â¤ï¸September 20, 2026, 2:52 pm

Collie

Female, Adult

Capistrano Beach, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Mindi — Now It’s Her Turn to Shine Every once in a while, a dog comes out of the shelter and you find yourself wondering how on earth anyone ever let her go. Mindi is one of those dogs. Mindi was rescued from the Hesperia Shelter after giving birth to three puppies. Sadly, by the time this little family came into our care, Mindi and her newborn babies were very sick. Despite everything we did, two of her puppies did not survive. But Mindi and her little girl, Zilla, fought their way through. With proper medical care, lots of love, and one very devoted mama, they made it. â¤ï¸ Today, Zilla is weaned and already living in a home of her own. And now it is Mindi's turn to shine. We don't use the word perfect very often when describing a dog, but it's difficult to find another word for Mindi. She is sweet, quiet, gentle and incredibly well-behaved. She gets along beautifully with every kind of dog we've introduced her to—big dogs, little dogs, seniors and youngsters. She walks wonderfully on a leash, is completely house-trained and already comes when called by name. She has never even needed to be crated in our home because she simply doesn't cause trouble. If her future family prefers to use a crate, we think she could learn very easily. Mindi currently weighs about 55 pounds and we believe she may be a little younger than two years old, although we'll never know her exact age for sure. After everything this beautiful girl has been through, what stands out most about Mindi is simply what a wonderful dogshe is. She raised her baby, watched her leave for a home of her own, and now Mindi is ready for the part of her story that belongs entirely to her. Spayed Fully vaccinated Microchipped House-trained Wonderful on leash Comes when called Fantastic with dogs of all sizes and ages Quiet and well-behaved Approximately 55 pounds Mindi's adoption fee is $450. To submit an adoption application, visit Green Dog Foundation . For more information, email greendogfoundation@gmail.com or call Krissy at (949) 456-7032. Mindi spent the first chapter of her story being a mama. Now we're looking for someone who will make her their baby. September 20, 2026, 2:52 pm

Story

Linden's mom Ginger ended up at the San Bernardino Shelter VERY pregnant, scared and depressed. Even though she was "full term," they set her to be spayed and her puppies aborted, but we were able to rescue her just before this happened. A week later, she gave birth to 6 healthy and adorable puppies. These puppies are social and loving and come from a home filled with love. At 8 weeks of age, they will have had their initial dewormings, their first vaccination and microchip. Puppies are adopted out with a 'foster to adopt' contract and when they are deemed old enough to be spayed or neutered by a GreenDog Foundation Vet, the contract is complete and the adoption is finalized. The adoption fee is $600 which covers their series of vaccinations including Rabies, microchipping and spaying or neutering. All of these services must be provided by one of GreenDog Foundation's Vets. To fill out an application for adoption, please go to www.greendogfoundation.org or if you'd like more information on the puppies, please email greendogfoundation@gmail.com or to visit, please contact Krissy at (949) 456-7032September 20, 2026, 2:52 pm

Size

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Chongers is a 2-year-old rottweiler-doberman mix with a heart as big as his name. Despite being abandoned with 2 other siblings, this handsome boy hasn't lost his love for people. Don't let his strong appearance fool you! Chonger is truly a softie at heart. He's affectionate, loyal and loves nothing more than leaning into you for cuddles. All he wants is someone who will love him as much as he loves back. With a little structure and a lot of love, he'll thrive in a home. He would do best with someone who understands big breeds and can give him the attention and companionship he craves. Since Chongers' history is unknown, we're not sure how he does with other animals or young children; so slow introductions and a patient, experienced adopter would be ideal. Chongers' adoption fee is $200 which includes his neuter, microchipping and all vaccinations. For more information on Chongers, please call Chrissy at VMSG (949) 201-4100 or to fill out an application for adoption, visit www.greendogfoundation.org and thank you for looking to rescue!September 20, 2026, 2:52 pm
