Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process    This is Athena. Athena is a little over 4 years old and almost like a fun-sized shepherd mix. She’s had a rough beginning as she was picked up as a stray in Mexico, along with her sister. They came to us extremely scared of everything and have come a long way since being with us. While her sister got adopted shortly after, Athena got left behind still looking for her forever family. She is one of our special girls who needs her forever family to be really patient with her as she learns to get comfortable with you. She is still very shy and we suggest a home with no kids and a female-only household. Athena would benefit best from having an outgoing, friendly dog in the house for her to follow (she used to look to her sister for direction). She loves playing with toys and walks well on a leash. If you are looking for a sweet girl who just needs some love and someone with patience, please fill out an application:https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.htmlMay 18, 2025, 9:22 pm

She had a rough start to life, and we want the very best for her.

Story
Hi, I’m Linus and I’m the cutest freckled boy around! I’m only 1 year 4 months old, the shelter said I’m an Australian kelpie but my foster mom thinks I’m part Australian Shepard since my brother has long hair and Australian cattle dog since I have so many freckles! I’m about 30 pounds right now but still have some growing to do, my foster mom doesn’t think I’ll be too big but I should grow another 10 pounds. I’m so sweet and I love cuddling but I can’t stay for long because I have very important puppy business to attend to so I’m usually always on the go! I’m incredibly smart, I’ve learned to open doors by jumping up on them so I may surprise you with more things I learn in the future! I know that’s a little naughty and I’m still learning some manners, I love playing with my toys except I don’t always like to share them so I’ll growl at other dogs but I’m learning I can’t resource guard so you’ll have to keep teaching me, like I said I’m incredibly smart so I’ve already started learning! I also have an amazing rock collection I can’t wait to show you! I’m crate trained so I can’t eat anything I’m not supposed to while I’m unsupervised, I like picking up rocks! I may not be the best fit for a family with young children since I jump a lot and I’m learning to kiss instead of giving love bites when I get excited! I love playing with all my dog friends and like our cats. I will need to learn basic training but I’m so excited to learn and start connecting together, I’m ready to become your perfect dog! You’ll fall in love immediately with my sweet face and all my freckles!

Meet Royal, a three-year-old Australian Kelpie mix weighing around 60 pounds of pure love. If you’re a fan of cuddles, affection, and sweet, gentle gestures, she’s the perfect match for you! Royal’s heart is as big as her loving spirit—she adores hugs and snuggles from everyone, whether you’re big or small. She’s active and playful when the moment calls for it, enjoying toys and zooming around the dog park. But her calm, easygoing nature makes her the ultimate snuggle buddy when it’s time to relax. Royal’s favorite pastime? Strolling around, meeting new people and pups, and spreading her warm, loving energy wherever she goes. She’s a true lover at heart, and she can’t wait to share all that love with you!

Story
Meet Joel...an extremely sweet, gentle and loving boy rescued from Devore Shelter.  I can't believe nobody adopted this boy, but when he became urgent, we swooped in to rescue him before it was too late.  Joel is just a puppy...he's playful, eager to please and has a wonderful disposition.  He is sweet and playful with all dogs he meets.  Joel is house-trained and we are working on crate training.  Joel needs a little encouragement still on a leash, but we are working on that too.  This boy is eager to please, so he will be so easy to train!  He is gorgeous and a love and deserves a wonderful, loving home.  Joel is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccinations (including rabies).  Joel's adoption fee is $450.  For more information on Joel, please call Krissy at (949) 456-7032 or to fill out an application for adoption, visit www.greendogfoundation.org and thank you for looking to rescue!October 20, 2025, 8:03 pm
