Story
At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info. */*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/* We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time. For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com. GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well. */*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter. *****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications.   If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted.   We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that.  Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you.   Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal.   Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****  ##2547720##

Super sweet little gentleman. Bane is bonded to Flash the terrier. Both dogs are completely housebroken, crate trained and walk well on a leash. They are good with other dogs and have lived with cats. They are vaccinated and neutered and would like a secure fenced yard to play in. They lost their human and are looking for a home to be your best companions. They are very easy to live with and located in Gordonsville Va.

Story
🐾 Georgie 🐾 Shih Tzu | Neutered Male | Adult (Approx. 2–3 Years Old) Georgie is a sweet Shih Tzu who came to us from the same backyard breeding situation as Lester and Big Red. Because of his past, Georgie is more on the nervous side and takes a little longer to warm up—but once he does, his loving personality truly shines. Since coming into our care, Georgie has made great progress. While he may be shy at first, he has really come out of his shell and now enjoys affection and happily gives kisses right on your face once he feels comfortable and safe. 🩺 Medical & Vetting: • Neutered • Microchipped • Heartworm tested negative • Rabies vaccinated • Distemper (DHPP) vaccinated • Leptospirosis vaccinated • Bordetella vaccinated ✂️ Grooming Notes: Georgie showed some sensitivity around having his face groomed. With time, patience, and positive experiences, this is something he can continue to improve on. Any potential adopter should ensure their groomer is aware that Georgie may be uncomfortable with face handling and could react defensively. A big thank you to Jessica at Hair of the Dog Grooming (Louisa County, VA), who groomed Georgie and is generously offering one free groom after adoption. 🐶 Dog-to-Dog Notes: We were told by the breeder that Georgie may guard humans from other dogs and could potentially be reactive. However, we have not observed any aggressive behavior at the rescue, and Georgie has done well around other dogs in our care. As with any dog, slow and proper introductions are always recommended. 🏡 Ideal Home: Georgie would thrive in a calm, patient home that understands he needs time to build trust. Once he feels safe, he is incredibly affectionate and eager to bond with his people. 📍 Ready to apply? 👉 Apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HPAW/Dog
