Story
This is the most special little dog. She was living in a homeless camp in LA. She came staggering out to the street covered in fleas and filth. One of our humane workers picked her up. She is now feeling much better, clean, and eating nutritious food. We have named her Trixie May. She looks to be a Papillon - Pomeranian - Chihuahua mix. She is 10 years old. She loves to be held and gets so excited when we talk to her. Trixie May is a treasure.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Cameron was returned this summer - 9 months after he was adopted! Now he's looking for a REAL forever family.  Cameron is best described as a Cat-Dog. Much like a cat Cameron is happy on his own, and likes to be petted - but when he's ready. He isn't gonna try to steal the spotlight because he'd much rather hang out on his own - until he's comfortable. If you are looking for a fast friend, this is NOT the dog for you. But if you want to invest the time and let the dog feel relaxed and safe, he will repay you by letting you pet his chin. Cameron will do really well in a home with another small dog to help him feel more comfortable, or with a human that won't put too much pressure on him to be their friend. He is leash trained, crate trained and will need a dog savvy adopter. =============================================================== Originally, Cameron came to us after his owner was evicted and decided to abandon the house full of animals when they left.  Cameron and the two pack mates that we pulled with him were terrified. It's been 9 months and these cutie pies are available for adoption.  Cameron is the slowest to come around of the 3 dogs we pulled. While he is more comfortable hanging out by himself he does like people.  Cameron absolutely loves to run around the yard, and the more you praise how fast he is, the faster he runs - with a smile! Cameron is still shy and needs an owner that will go slow with him, but still apply a little bit of pressure. If you'd like to meet Cameron, come on down to our adoption center.

Story
Meet Teddy! Teddy is a 7-year-old Papillon weighing just 7–8 pounds, and he’s a truly sweet, gentle little guy. If Papillons are your heart dog, Teddy may be the one you’ve been waiting for.   He walks nicely on a leash, loves curling up in a lap, and does great on car rides. Teddy would be a perfect companion for seniors or anyone looking for a calm, loving little shadow.   Teddy gets along well with Rusty and they may be adopted together or separately—they’re friendly pals but not bonded.   For more information: 949-456-7032 Apply to adopt: www.greendogfoundation.com       If you want, I can make a super short social-media version, a senior-focused version, or a paired post highlighting Teddy + Rusty together    May 15, 2026, 12:40 pm

Story
Roxy is a 7-year-old Papillon mix weighing about 14 pounds, and she still has plenty of bounce to the ounce. Don’t let her age fool you this girl is full of personality and still has impressive agility skills to show off. One of her favorite tricks is coming when called and leaping right up into your arms, which never fails to make people smile. Roxy is also a world-class snuggler, and curling up next to you in bed is pretty much a requirement in her book. If you enjoy walking or light outdoor adventures, Roxy would love to be your little sidekick. She enjoys getting out and about, but she’s just as happy relaxing at home afterward. Indoors, you’ll often find her playing with her toys and working hard to conquer the squeaky ones (you may have to keep an eye on those!). Roxy currently lives with dogs both big and small and does well with them. She’s an affectionate, loyal companion who loves being close to her people. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving companion who will brighten your days and always put a smile on your face, Foxy Roxy might just be your perfect match.
