Meet Our Marvel Pups! These six-week-old cuties are growing strong under their momma’s loving care and will be ready for their forever homes in just a few weeks! While we’re not sure who the poppa is, momma is a gorgeous German Shepherd, and her little superheroes are as cute as can be! ‍‍ We’re currently accepting applications, so if you’re ready to bring a sweet, smart, and snuggly addition into your life, now’s the time to apply! To help ensure their success in their new homes, continued training with GDU—either in-person or virtual—will be required for adoption. 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.*****  ##2186025##

Story
UPDATE: ADOPTION PENDING!!!! "Nebo" means "sky" in the Bosnian language - check out those piercing blue light bulbs! Here is a STUNNING & sweet boy looking for his forever home. Nebo is young mutt with so much potential. Still very much a puppy at 6 months old, he's got nowhere to go but "up," so to speak. He's very playful with almost all dogs (submissive, too), super affectionate and even seems like he might be good with cats! Nebo is also pretty easy on a leash so far, too. Walking him is like walking with a cloud - he is so light-footed! A typical pup, Nebo is very treat motivated and eager to please. The flip side is that Nebo is a little bit skittish, easily frightened by loud noises; but with a little patience and a lot of love, we believe he will be just fine! Let's talk about his cat test: Nebo is absolutely terrified of some of our dog-hating, aggro cats and avoids the heck out of them. Introduced to two of our more "chill" cats, Heldreich's Pine & Milkey, he was calmly interested, gently wagging his tail and even nose-booping H Pine. With proper intros, he could likely learn to be comfortable with household cats. What more can we say? Nebo is a bright young pup who is guaranteed not to last long with his endearing temperament, smarts & beautiful, soft, silky coat. He's got great vibes for families with kids, cats and other dogs! That's the whole package, right? Call the shelter to schedule a meet & greet! updated 10/23/24
