Story
Meet Bianca our four-mont-old Shih Tzu cross!   Bianca may be small, but she gives her much bigger brothers a run for their money! This lively and spirited pup is full of personality, proving that great things come in small packages. Bianca loves to run, jump, and chase butterflies and sticks. If she can't find a toy, she'll happily turn the nearest flower pot or piece of mulch into one. She would thrive in a busy household that takes her on adventures during the day and lets her snuggle on the bed at night.   Don't miss out on the chance to add Bianca or one of her siblings to your family. You can apply to adopt her on our website. Preference is given to local adopters within one hour of 22974, and continued positive reinforcement training with GDU is required for her 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.*****  ##2094779##

Story
Meet Aries, our four-month-old Shih Poo!   Aries is very inquisitive. He loves to bark and alert his pack to new things, and if there is an opportunity to explore, Aries will be the first to do so. He has fearless energy and finds fun and games in just about anything. Aries loves to explore and has figured out how to navigate his space just enough to cause a little puppy havoc. He has endless energy and wants to move, move, move!   Don't miss out on the chance to add Aries or one of his siblings to your family. You can apply to adopt him on our website. Preference is given to local adopters within one hour of 22974, and continued positive reinforcement training with GDU is required for his adoption.   At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption.

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
My health has gotten to the point that I am unable to train Murph to all of his needs. He is a very lovable puppy and with the proper training I know he will be a very loving companion. He was born December 5, 2022 and is up to date with all his needs. He sees the vet on a regular schedule and is very healthy. It breaks my heart to have to think about giving him a new home but I feel long term it is best for him.
