Story
We can give you $100 and food and all of his stuff we have we just need him to find a home before we have to move. This is Luka, he’s a sweetheart. He loves to run and go outside. He loves treats and playing. He gets very shy at first but is quick to open up and start having fun! He gets along with everyone. He doesn’t get aggressive at all in our history with him. He’s a good boy who needs a good home. He is 2 years old currently (birthday is October 15th 2022.) due to life events out of our control we have to begin a life without Luka as much as we really don’t want to.

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.

Luna is a pitbull and terrier mix. She loves to play and cuddle. Luna will be five years old May 19th, and has been with me since 6 weeks old. She is currently due for shots. I can arrange for this to be done before she is adopted. I am unable to keep her at this point due to relocating. Looking for a loving home .

Story
This is my baby girl Baylee. She was born june25th 2024. I purchased her when she was 10 weeks old. My living situation recently changed and I went from owning a home to renting. I am only allowed 2 animals and I have 2 older dogs that Ive had for 9 years that I can't part with. This is killing me to have to do this but I have no other choice. I will be very picky about her new home.

Gigi is a husky mix. She is around 5 years old. She gets along well with other dogs and loves her people! She can be nervous around strangers but always warms up quickly. She loves going for walks and playing in the snow. If you’re looking for an already trained pup, she’s your girl! She is potty trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands. Fill out an application today: https://www.jotform.us/form/43196636952162 **** Hi, my name is Gigi! I’m an Akita mix about 3 years old. I’m a very sweet girl and love to run, play, and stretch out in the sun. I really enjoy exploring my world through all its fantastic smells. Chasing small animals is always fun, so a fenced-in yard is a must to make sure I don’t get carried away. Slow introductions are best for me, as I can be a little timid with strangers, but once I’ve warmed up to you, I can be your best pal, whether playing outside or hanging around on the couch. If you give me belly rubs, I’ll be your friend forever! My foster brother and I have a great time playing with each other, and I get along with other dogs once I get to know them. I’m looking for a loving, patient family that can help me grow and build my confidence by gently introducing me to new environments and experiences. Can you be my forever home? *** We have no idea why she’s been waiting so long. She is obviously gorgeous and sweet! She is a careful girl but loves her people fiercely! She is more nervous around new men, but warms up fine as she looooooves her foster dad so much. She is an active girl and loves to run and play with other dogs. In fact, she tends to do best with other dogs around because they help her feel more confident and secure. This pretty girl needs nothing but a little patience and love. If interested in meeting Gigi, fill out an application today! https://www.jotform.us/form/43196636952162Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Guardians of the Green Mile Inc.

Story
Tyson is for the most part a good dog. He is 7 years old. Hes a guard dog that barks when he hears noises. He is friendly. He likes to cuddle and sleep on the bed. He is crate trained and knows commands like sit, down, shake and stay. He doesnt mind getting a bath as long as water is warm. He eats practically any food you give him or food he can find. He gets along fine with other dogs and likes to just lounge around most of the time. Im very sad I have to get rid of him but landlord says no pitbulls. He makes a very good companion dog. I dont have any paperwork on him. I got him from a family in 2020 that was in a similar situation. They had to move into a place that didnt accept dogs. If your interested contact me. I do work mon-fri 8 a.m. to 430 p.m. but I will try to get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you
