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. 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.

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
Birdie is about 1.5 yrs. My neighbor found her in the street & found her owner a block over. They didnt want her, they were moving to a place that didnt allow dogs. I agreed to take her in with a loving & seemingly guilty heart, not exactly knowing what would happen. I wasnt ready to add a companion back into my home after losing my 10yr old ESA in April. Ive had Birdie for a while & learned a lot about her. Shes sweet as can be. She loves people, all toys/playing & the best under the blanket cuddle bug. Shes smart & food motivated. Good with most dogs, prefers male playmates & really wants to play with new cat friends, but doesnt go running after them. Shes met many kids & is mostly excited when meeting them. Shes anxious if you dont crate her while youre away & generally is well behaved especially after she gets a good play in. She would thrive where she isnt crated all day & gets a lot of play or daycare is an option. Willing to negotiate adoption fee w/ proof of spay.
