Story
Boris is a really sweet and kind dog. He is great with our son. However, he does need further training and exercise which we are not able to provide for him. He loves to cuddle and loves the other dog he lives with. However (please read) he is leash reactive and we does bark in the house at passing people. We believe he needs an active person who would like to hike or run with him and who has the time or experience to train him. We love Boris and want to make sure he finds a really great home. We would ideally like somewhere where we could arrange play dates with the other dog we have.

Story
Meet Brodie!  This boy is a very very special GreenDog.  Brodie was seen being attacked as a puppy by a coyote and then taken to the Riverside Shelter.   Due to California laws, Brodie would have to be quarantined for 6 months before being available for adoption and the shelter just didn’t have the space to board him that long, so in lieu of being euthanized, Riverside Shelter reached out to us and we took Brodie in.  Brodie is off his quarantine now and he is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations and microchipped.    There is one special requirement for a forever home for Brodie…his mom and dad MUST have a pool…or maybe an adopter who surfs a lot or kayaks?   Of the 1000+ dogs that have come through the GreenDog Ranch, I’ve never known one to be part fish, and Brodie is certainly that.  He absolutely loves to swim and will literally tread deep water playing with a toy for hours.   Brodie gets along great with other dogs big and small and even loves our free range chickens.   He’s a gentle soul and loves to hug.  Brodie is almost a year old now and is ready to find his forever someone. Brodie is approximately 50 lbs of great fun and amusement... For more information about Brodie contact 949-456-7032  or submit an application for adoption to: http://greendogfoundation.com/application-for-adoption/October 24, 2024, 6:19 pm

Story
Meet Adoptable Lola! She’s a very affectionate and happy 3 year old Australian Shepherd/Sheepdog mix, around 80 lbs. She’s potty trained, and loves her crate. She has had some professional basic training. She is ecollar, muzzle, and prong collar trained. All these tools come with her to continue her push-button training. She knows sit, down, heel, leave it, wait, out, come, no, and crates on command. She also waits for the release command to eat. The guardian breeds in her makes her an amazing watch dog. She’s well behaved, and obedient. She loves to hike in the hills, and on the trail she has excellent off-leash recall. She also knows wait (and will stop and wait for you to catch up). She knows out (and will get out of the bushes in case of snakes). She’s great in the car for long periods on road trips, and the perfect camping/exploring  partner. Lola loves fetch, as well as playing with her toys, although tug is her very favorite type of play (if you’re strong enough). Lola was attacked by an off leash dog, so she has leash reactivity/fear of unknown dogs. She is working hard to overcome her fears, and needs an experienced adopter to continue her training back to neutral/non-reactivity. She is good with other calm dogs after proper introductions, and currently lives harmoniously with 3 males at her foster house. Sweet Lola can’t wait to meet you!  Interested in adopting this pet?

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

Story
Bulleit IS AVAILALBE (updated 02-14-2025).To meet any of our dogs you must first complete our online adoption application on our website. For more information and the adoption application for Bulleit, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=22832&name=BulleitBulleit is one of five puppies that recently came to Orange County to join the Coastal GSR family. He and his siblings appear to be a mix of Australian Shepherd and possibly German Shepherd. Bulleit misses his siblings but has been trying hard to make new friends with his foster siblings. He loves to snuggle with the younger dog and he has his eye on her toys!. Bulleit is sweet, smart, and playful.Bulleit and his siblings were found in an Orange Grove by a Good Samaritan who brought them to his house. Originally there were 8 puppies and the original foster found homes for three. The puppies did not appear to have been in the Orange Grove for very long. They were in good shape and were very social and playful. When Bulleit came to us, he was one of the thinnest puppies. He is eating several small meals a day and slowly putting on weight. He likes to wander around the foster family&#39s yard and explore. Following his explorations, he is very happy to sit on the couch with his foster dad and nap. He can use a dog door and takes himself outside to go potty.Bulleit is a very well-rounded puppy who will be a fun companion for any family.The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.February 14, 2025, 1:40 pm
