Story
Meet Crash Crash is an 8-month-old Border Collie with a sweet and gentle soul. Rescued from a hoarding situation where he had no human contact, Crash is still learning to navigate the world but has made incredible progress in just a short time. Despite his shy beginnings, he is blossoming into a loving and curious companion who’s eager to learn and connect. This affectionate pup thrives around other dogs and loves to play, making him a great fit for a multi-dog household. He’s food-motivated, which has been a big help with his training. Crash is doing very well with crate training, house training, and potty training. He also has an off switch, balancing his playfulness with calm moments. Crash is learning about life on a leash and is most comfortable at a leisurely pace. He’ll need continued positive reinforcement to gain confidence and respond well to leash pressure. He does great in the car and enjoys tagging along for adventures, always staying close to his trusted human. While he is still a bit shy due to his lack of early socialization, Crash is coming out of his shell. He follows his foster everywhere and is discovering the joys of human affection and companionship. His clumsy, curious nature adds to his charm, and he’s a quick learner with a bright future ahead. Crash will thrive in a home with a patient and compassionate handler who can continue to build his confidence with love and understanding. If you’re looking for a loyal and endearing companion who’s ready to grow with you, Crash is ready to meet you. At Green Dogs Unleashed (GDU), we are committed to ensuring the successful placement of our dogs in loving, permanent homes. Over the years, we have seen an unprecedented number of returns due to behavioral issues that could have been avoided with the right support. A high percentage of these returns come from out-of-area clients or those who have not completed training with us at GDU. To address this, positive reinforcement training with Green Dogs Unleashed is required for all adoptions as a condition for adoption approval. This pup may need some extra time before being ready for extended in-person or group training. As such, we are happy to consider adopters either in the area or out of the area who will commit to attending one private lesson with GDU, either virtually or in person (in-person preferred), as a condition of adoption approval. At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info. */*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/* We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time. For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com. GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well. */*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter. *****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications.   If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted.   We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that.  Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you.   Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal.   Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****  ##2213515##

Story
Meet Adam Adam is a 5-month-old Border Collie with a unique and endearing personality. Born deaf, Adam has already overcome incredible challenges and is on a journey to discovering the joys of human connection. Rescued from a hoarding situation in Texas where he and 81 other dogs were left in outdoor pens with no human contact, Adam is learning to trust and adapt to his new life. This intensely smart and driven pup is full of potential. Adam has come a long way in just a few weeks, showing his confidence and curiosity through play and exploration. While he is still wary of people and startles easily, he loves playing with his foster’s big dog and is slowly warming up to human affection. Adam will thrive in a patient and understanding home that’s committed to helping him build confidence at his own pace. Adam is working on crate and house training and has shown great progress. Leash walking is new to him, and he’ll need continued positive reinforcement to tolerate leash pressure. However, he enjoys leisurely, self-directed walks and is discovering the world at his own pace. He’s also a quirky and playful guy with a love for coffee mugs, often carrying them to his bed to snuggle with. Adam’s shyness means he needs a family who will give him the time and space to come out of his shell. Despite his challenges, he is extremely outgoing and brave in his own way. His mischievous side adds to his charm, and his howls are sure to make you smile. If you’re looking for a special dog with a big heart and a bright future, Adam could be the perfect fit. He needs a loving home that will embrace his quirks and provide the patience and guidance he needs to flourish.

Story
Meet Faere, a sweet and energetic 10-week-old deaf Border Collie puppy who’s as curious and clever as they come. This little explorer is already showing her intelligence and drive, learning quickly and picking up commands through hand signals. Faere’s focus and problem-solving skills are impressive for her age, and she loves to lead by example, often teaching her brother new things along the way. Faere is affectionate and playful, always ready for a game of chase, puzzle toys, or a snuggle session. She thrives on staying busy and enjoys activities that engage both her mind and body. As a high-drive pup, she’s happiest when she has a “job” to do, whether it’s learning new tricks, playing with her foster family’s kids, or interacting with her dog friends. In her foster home, Faere has shown herself to be confident and independent but also incredibly sweet. She loves cuddles from the kids and gives plenty of kisses before wiggling away to play. She gets along well with other dogs and is gentle with her senior foster sibling, showing respect for boundaries. Crate training is going well, as Faere and her brother have associated their crate with positive experiences like mealtime and rest. While house training is still a work in progress (she's just a baby), she’s quickly learning the routine and making great strides. Faere is looking for an experienced home that understands the Border Collie breed and her unique needs as a deaf puppy. She’ll thrive in an environment with plenty of mental and physical stimulation, a yard to romp in, and ideally a canine buddy to play with. If you’re ready to provide the love, structure, and activity she craves, Faere will reward you with endless affection, loyalty, and entertainment. This smart and spirited girl is ready to find her perfect match—are you the one for Faere? At Green Dogs Unleashed (GDU), we are dedicated to ensuring the successful placement of our dogs in loving, permanent homes. Over the years, we have seen an increasing number of returns due to behavioral issues that could have been prevented with the right support. A significant percentage of these returns involve out-of-area clients or those who have not completed training with GDU. To address this, positive reinforcement training with Green Dogs Unleashed is required as a condition for all adoptions. Preference for this dog will be given to adopters who commit to signing up for and completing our six-week Canine 101 training class in person at our headquarters in Troy, VA. Secondary consideration will be given to a limited number of out-of-area adopters who agree to complete one private lesson with GDU, either in person or virtually, and attend a pre-approved positive reinforcement training class in their area.

Story
Meet Thane, a sweet, cuddly, and slightly clumsy 10-week-old deaf Border Collie puppy who is eager to please and loves being close to his people. Thane is the definition of a "velcro dog"—he follows his foster mom everywhere and is happiest when he’s at her side, gazing up with his big, adoring gray eyes. Despite being deaf, Thane is a quick learner and thrives on routine and visual cues. He’s already a pro at “sit” and patiently waits for his kibble rewards. He learns best by observing his siblings and is always eager to follow their lead. Thane is a medium-drive pup for a Border Collie, meaning he has a wonderful balance of energy and calmness. He enjoys bursts of playtime but is equally content snuggling with his foster mom or quietly chewing on a puzzle toy. Thane adores kids and other dogs, making him a perfect fit for a family with both. He loves playing tug, chase, and engaging with his foster siblings, but his true joy comes from simply being near his humans. Though his siblings’ playful antics sometimes catch his attention, Thane always circles back to his foster mom, where he feels safest and happiest. Crate training is going well, and Thane associates his “room” with positive experiences like mealtime and naps. House training is a work in progress (he's just a baby), but with regular outdoor breaks, he’s making great strides. Thane’s affectionate nature, combined with his eagerness to learn, makes him a delight to train and spend time with. This goofy little guy is sure to steal hearts with his floppy-eared head tilt and oversized paws he occasionally trips over. He’s looking for a patient and loving forever home that understands the unique needs of a deaf dog and can provide him with the guidance, stimulation, and snuggles he craves.
