Story
I can't say enough good things about Buddy.  I wish I could keep him.  This poor boy was dumped off the side of a desolite highway in the mountains in the early morning hours along with his dog house.  A friend found him hiding in the bushes and brought him to our rescue.  When I first saw him, I thought "oh my, he's going to eat my dogs"...turns out that Buddy is one of the most sweetest dogs I've ever rescued.  He loves the other dogs and ESPECIALLY little puppies.  I have a bottle baby that he sleeps next to making sure no other dogs bother him.  He cleans him and loves on him.  I'm attaching a video of him along with two other little puppies we have.  Buddy is housetrained, crate trained and extremely obedient.  He also loves to cuddle next to me at night.  Buddy is now neutered, fully vaccinated (rabies included), received a dental and is microchipped and we just got back DNA on Buddy!  Buddy is 39% American Bully, 25% German Shepherd,  19% Pit Bull Terrier and 17% Siberian Husky.   Buddy's adoption fee is $450.  To fill out an application for Buddy, please visit www.greendogfoundation.org or for more information, please email us at greendogfoundation@gmail.comOctober 5, 2025, 4:08 pm

Meet Charlotte! This beautiful 4-year-old cutie is a playful, affectionate pup who’s ready to find her forever family or a foster.

She needs a patient human who understands she takes a little time to warm up to strangers. Charlotte enjoys her daily walks and is happiest when she’s by your side, getting all the attention she deserves. She’s a smart girl, fully housetrained, and knows commands like place, sit, stay, and down. Charlotte is also a pro at using the doggy door!

Story
Hi, I`m Cheese. I am a gentle, sweet canine with a playful spirit, though I can be a bit shy at first. I am very friendly and enjoy connecting with people once I feel comfortable. I may need a little extra patience and individualized training, as I do not respond to auditory cues the way most dogs do. I am looking for a loving home where I can receive calm, compassionate care and continued guidance. If you are searching for a loyal companion who can bring warmth, joy, and affection into your life, I would love the chance to become your forever friend.

These two are a package deal—they’re best friends, roommates, and professional nappers. They are dog-friendly, human-friendly, and couch-friendly. They have been together since they were puppies!    These two love attention and would benefit in a home with a family that doesn’t have to leave the house too often. Pudge loves physical touch and loves sleeping with her humans. She enjoys playing with toys and will try to hog them all.  Chunk is the “main character” of the household and will booty bump any dog in his way of receiving attention. He will nudge you for butt scratches and believes your only job is to give him attention.    To meet this lovable duo, please apply at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html December 10, 2025, 4:54 pm

Story
Sosa is a handsome, loving, obedient mellow dog. He would make a great companion to a single dog family. He gets along with other dogs, but has issues with his littermate, so he may do better where he is the only dog. It is with a heavy heart that we have to rehome him. He is house trained. He loves walking, playing, swimming, snuggling on the couch with belly and back rubs being his favorite! He enjoys going to dog friendly restaurants and breweries! His vaccinations and veterinary appointments are up to date. He is a healthy, happy and an amazing dog!

Story
MooMoo was found as a stray near the Lexus dealership in Riverside. A good Samaritan brought him home. The shelter was notified, flyers put up, posted in multiple lost and found sites, but no one has come forward to claim him, so he is now looking for a family that will be more careful with him.    He is about a year old and weighs approximately 30 lbs. MooMoo is very playful, crate trained and seems to be potty trained. He hasn't had any full intros to other dogs yet. November 23, 2024, 12:20 am
