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

Story
Meet Mosey Fields,  a very special  puppy  who is  just under one year old. Mosey has a neurological condition, most likely Cerebral Hypoplasia, which makes him a special-needs dog. Despite his challenges, Mosey is a joyful and big-hearted pup. We recently put him in a jacuzzi with a swim vest, and he learned a lot about connecting his body with his brain. Initially, Mosey used to squirm on the floor like a reptile, but now  he  walks and romps  around  without a harness. Although he still does well with a harness for stability, he can now walk  by himself  in a large carpeted bedroom area. Mosey has made  great  progress -  he  has learned to track, make eye contact, jump on and off the couch, and loves to cuddle. He has also been playful around other dogs and adores people. This little fighter will benefit from a wheelchair and  will  thrive in a loving home. Consider making him a part of your family, and he will return the love and continue to grow into the best version of himself. If you're interested in adopting Mosey, please fill out an application at www.doggiebonez.com. You can also check out our social media pages on Instagram (@Doggie_Bonez_Inc_) and Facebook (Doggie Bonez) to see more of Mosey's cuteness. Our dog adoption fee, which includes vaccinations, fecal testing, wellness exams, microchipping, spaying, or neutering, is $500. If adoption isn't feasible, please consider fostering one of our pups. We are a volunteer-run non-profit dog rescue and always welcome new short or long-term doggie foster families. Doggie Bonez will provide you with everything you need, including dog food, a bed, toys, medical attention (if required), and more. So, if you're interested, please visit www.doggiebonez.com to see all of our available dogs who need a foster family while waiting for their forever home and complete the foster application.November 2, 2024, 7:31 pm
