Story
Meet Dunn of Brooks and Dunn – A Tiny Survivor Ready for a Loving Home! Dunn was brought in as a stray to the shelter at barely four weeks and should have been with his mother until he was 8 weeks old. He was placed with three other pups and he is thriving. He does not know he does not belong to that litter. He just loves having friends to play with and grow. They are now safe with Green Dog Foundation and ready to be adopted.    At just 2.5  pounds Dunn when full grown will be about 6 -8 pounds of fun sweetness, lap dog with energy to run around and give those messy puppy kisses. He has lots of love to give and is looking for her own furever family. Dunn is working on puppy pad training and outdoor potty training and will sleep in his X pen at night and wakes up jumping for love and hugs. Dunn is a puppy and would do best in a home with a family who will be with him and let him grow into a wonderful loving dog.  Our adoption fee includes all puppy shots, neuter, microchip, and rabies vaccine.  If you’d like to give this tiny survivor the loving home he deserves please each out to meet this ball of cuteness.  Email: greendogfoundation@gmail.com or call foster Mom Kim at 714 319-0802 Apply here: https://greendogfoundation.org/application-for-adoption/        March 10, 2026, 1:48 pm

Story
Holley is a very sweet, 5 year old, 17 lb Shih Tzu who was severely neglected and extremely overweight. She has lost 6 pounds and recently had surgery to remove bladder stones. Holley is feeling much better. Holley is on a special diet that she will need to continue to prevent a recurrence of the stones. Holley loves people. All she wants is to be with someone all of the time. Holley is also a toy hoarder. She would be happiest as an only dog, or with a quiet dog that will let her be the boss.

Story
Meet Charlie. Charlie is a 2-year-old, 13-pound Maltipoo with the softest curls and a very sensitive heart. He was found abandoned in the desert and has spent the last three months learning how to feel safe again. Charlie is extremely fearful of people—especially men. He is not aggressive at all. When he’s scared, he freezes or hides. What he needs most is patience, gentleness, and time. His safe place is the sofa, where he’ll accept soft pets and show his sweet, hopeful side. Underneath his fear is a loving, loyal little dog who just needs the right environment to blossom. Charlie must go to a calm, older female owner. • No men • No children • Quiet home • Another friendly dog is required He thrives with other dogs and gains confidence from them. Charlie doesn’t need to be “fixed”—he needs to be understood. He survived the desert. Now he deserves a soft place to land. Please share to help Charlie find the gentle woman he’s been waiting for.
