Story
Dog selective. Belle is in need of a new foster home as a member of the house has become very ill. Belle does not chew on shoes though she does like to carry them around when she gets excited. Belle was born in our care on April 1st 2017 to Momma Orla. She and her siblings were named after Beauty and the Beast characters. She and her 'sister' didn't get along so the family felt she would be better with a new family. She did great with her two Chihuahua siblings, and may do well with a male dog. She loves to give kisses and plays hard on toys. One of her favorite past times is to bird watch. Cats and kids are unknown at this time. She is currently in boarding and we need her out!Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Guardians of the Green Mile Inc.

Story
Kenzo is a very loving, active dog that just needs someone to give him their time and affection. He'd do well with dogs just as playful as him. He's a smart boy that learns quickly. Teaching him new things and getting him adjusted to your routine will just take time. He's doing great with potty training, you just need to stick to a schedule. He does great with dog doors and will tell you if he needs to go out. Crate training will take time but he has made great progress from when we started. He is comfortable in his crate but will be vocal about his choice to be right by your side instead. He's been living with cats and has slowly been adjusting to co existing with them. With continued slow introductions, I'd think he would do just fine being in a home with them. He is very affectionate and love to cuddles and give kisses. He really is a gentle boy that just needs a family wirh time and patience for him to adjust to this new life. Kenzo is available through Guardians of the Green Mile (www.gotgm.org) of Portage, IN.

Story
Meet Mandi! We believe Mandi to be about 6 months old. She spent a day following a mail person walking their route. When they had to drive off, Mandi sat in the middle of the street all sad. Knowing a friend that was in rescue, they called and asked if anything could be done. ABSOLUTELY! We coordinated with volunteers to pick up and hold her until the end of the work day. Sherri spent the afternoon calling and trying to find an emergency foster home. Like every shelter in the area, we were full. Of course our village came through for this little angel. Her rescuer (THANK YOU Amanda!) drove her to meet Miss Sherri. She was checked for a second time for a chip and we still did not find one. Mandi and Sherri had a mini road trip to pick up emergency essential supplies and finally drop her off at her foster home (THANK YOU Carrie & family!). Mandi is doing well in her foster home. They said for a puppy that was running on the streets that she is behaving really well. She is an absolute sweetheart and loves scratches and cuddles. We can't believe no one is looking for this sweet girl, but here we are. Mandi is looking for a family, and we promised her it would be an amazing one! Mandi is available through Guardians of the Green Mile (www.gotgm.org) of Portage, IN.

Story
Attention all families seeking THE PERFECT FAMILY PET!! Cleveland is simply amazing. I know a lot of rescues say their pets are amazing . But he truly is and it's the simplest way to describe him. He's playful, would love to have a canine buddy or a human sibling to pair up with. He's confident but not alpha in any way. He plays with puppies that are a fraction of his size. He's kennel trained. House trained . Rarely ever barks. And let's talk about walking on a leash😳just watch his video. He eats his breakfast and his dinner with another male buddy about his size and both of them share so nicely. He takes treats with the gentlest of nature . Cleveland is in a foster home in Memphis, Tn with a 3,7 and 11 year old human friends , 3 male dogs and 1 female and he is simply perfect ! Once an application has been submitted and approved I will gladly discuss, facetime, send photos and videos , etc of Cleveland and answer any and all questions about him. We use a transport company called rescue vet transport to get our pets from Memphis, Tennessee to the north east. They travel each weekend, leaving Memphis Friday morning around 6 AM and making stops along the route all the way as far north as West Greenwich Rhode Island. Once they leave Memphis they start a group chat with all adopters and the two drivers. Transport is an additional $185. If you would like to make Cleveland a part of your family, please follow the link below to our adoption application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Story
Look at the difference in all of her photos...Nala came into MHS at 39-pounds. She has since gained 20-pounds and is at a wonderful, healthy weight. Her skin has improved and has turned into a beautiful, soft coat. But, the one thing that has not changed in Nala since she arrived is how loving she is. From her initial intake to present day, Nala has wanted love; to show love, to be loved. Her attitude and personality were never anything less than exuberantly joyful. She trusted us immediately and has shown everyone how special and deserving of a family she is. Her ideal family would be one where she can join them for daily walks. She would also love to play fetch with tennis balls because that makes her so happy! She is the best fetcher ever! She also loves sniffing through snufflemats. Nala is a treat-motivated gal! Oh, and another amazing thing about her is that she takes treats so gently. In her previous home, she has lived with kiddos about 10ish and up. She'd love to be the only furbaby in her new home and redirects very nicely when she sees other pups out and about. She'll also redirect for a tennis ball or squeaky toy! She also did great in her crate in her previous home. We cannot say enough good things about her. Nala is about six years old and is spayed.

Story
One of the many wonderful things about Sasha is how she matches the energy of whoever she is with. If we are playing, Sasha is playing. If we are calm, Sasha is calm. If Sasha is hanging with other shelter dogs and they want to play, she wants to play. If they prefer sniffing, she will go her own way to sniff, too. If it is time for training and enrichment, Sasha is all in for the entire session. She is the most people-oriented dog and thrives on relationships. And speaking of relationships, her interactions with other friendly shelter dogs have been quite positive! Depending on the resident dog, she may do great with a fursibling! In her previous home, she did wonderful at being house-trained and was most content to stay in a bedroom while she was hanging by herself. She's a great car rider, too! Sasha is a perfect balance of playful, social, but also a little shy. She is a very relational girl when it comes to getting to know new people. A slow intro with yummy treats has been the way to her heart. Teenagers and older in the home would be best! She is a younger gal, a little less than three years old and is about 50-pounds. Come meet this lovebug.
