Story
CHANCE – have you ever seen a more handsome fella? Just a few things about this sweet guy. The vet believes that Chance is between 18mo - 2yrs old and weighs 59lbs. • He is heart worm negative and neutered. •He is super sweet and gentle - wants to cuddle and be near his person. •He is dog-friendly (the foster doesn’t have cats, so we are not certain if he’s cat-friendly) •He is people-friendly to everyone he has met. Foster does not have small children, but he has been fine around children on walks. Due to his size and youth, he might knock down small children, but he is not aggressive. •He is house broken. Even in the rain and snow he has let us know he needs to go out. •He is a little timid to new people at first, but warms up quickly. •He very rarely barks. •He has learned to sit, walk on a leash, and “wait” for his food bowl to be put down. •He is very food motivated, so can be easily trained with treat rewards. He is not reactive when eating. •He can be possessive over certain toys with a low, warning growl if another dog tries to take it from him. •He is not interested in fetching a ball, but loves chew toys and antlers. • He can be very active, but is also happy cuddled up with his person. •He would do great in a house with another dog, but would be fine as an only dog also. Once adopted Chance will travel via private transport (transport cost is $160.00) to a location closest to you.

Story
Say hello to Kita! Kita is bonded to her best friend Smoke (A0055525424) and they will need to be adopted out together. Kita is a sweet girl who is dog friendly and likes to play. She is an Akita which are high energy, intelligent, and thick coated dogs. Smoke is a Rottweiler and is very strong, sweet, and large. They both have particular needs due to their breeds and will need a home that is comfortable with their quirks. Kita and Smoke do guard food from each other and will need to be fed separately to avoid any issue. If you think this duo could be the pair for you, come and meet them at Anti-Cruelty today!

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Luna has become accustomed to her housemates over time. In the beginning there were several fights over food and toys. As long as she is fed separately she is ok, otherwise she will eat all the food. Same with toys , she must be played with separately otherwise she will stuff all the balls in her mouth. Chew toys are hers. She is great on walks , can sit and has learned stay. Has a tendency to get stubborn especially with coming back inside. Doesn't like too many other dogs. Has trouble, gets aggressive around small children. Is a little picky about who she'll let pet her. Otherwise I haven't seen aggressive behavior with the family in the house and is quick to flop on her back for a belly rub. Loves laying on the couch and looking out the window. Also loves to sit outside and watch, everything. She is a chewer and a digger. On walks must pay attention because everything goes in mouth.

Story
(Prefers women. Guy shy.) We have the very best girl here looking for the perfect home for HER! Rather than people checking her out, we are putting her up for adoption with the interview more focused on the people than on her. See, Gigi is a very sweet, happy, curious pup who loves to play, run and sniff! However, she has a very low self esteem, can be very timid, scared and super shy. She is slow start, but a patient pup parent/family will bring her confidently out of her shell and will soon see all of her goofiness and love! Trust me, it’s worth the patience! Gigi is just over 50 lbs and is approximately 2 years old. She is housebroken, crate trained, spayed, HW-, fully vetted and ready to go!! This girl loves to play with other dogs her size, but she can be too aggressive with smaller dogs and cats are an absolute no as she enjoys chasing them way too much. She also enjoys “hunting” squirrels and birds in the back yard. A fenced yard will be the best for her as she loves to explore on her own. Meet and greets with Gigi will be not at all indicative of the actual dog who is buried under her fear and uncertainty. She comes alive with time, calm, giving Gigi her space and letting her build her confidence within the setting. Like many other shy dogs, forcing her into situations without giving her short breaks away from the excitement can make her shyness worse. She needs pet parents that can slowly build her confidence by gently introducing her into new environments, new sounds, new experiences. She also seems to be very uncertain around some men, so a slow introduction with the man completely ignoring her is the best way to quickly grow that relationship. Let her come to him in her time and they will soon be best friends! Gigi is a special girl with specific needs, but we know that family/person is out there! Can you provide Gigi the very best home for her? Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Guardians of the Green Mile Inc. We are a group of individuals that have come together to save the lives of animals that are in danger of being euthanized. We raise funds to fully vet the animals and to provide them with a stable home until they are adopted. All of the dogs in our Rescue are in Foster homes while they are looking for their forever family. The only time we put a dog in boarding is for a Foster to go on vacation if another Foster is not able to care for them. We appreciate your taking the time to fill out the application to adopt one of our Guardians of the Green Mile pets. The questions that we ask are to only find the right fit for all of our dogs and the families that will be adopting them. Adoption donation is $300.00 for dogs over 1 year old and $350 with a $50.00 spay / neuter deposit for puppies/dogs under 1 year old.
