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

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 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

At 5 years old and 60 lbs, Norman has faced more challenges than most dogs ever will, but his spirit is unbreakable. As a puppy, Norman was passed from place to place, facing tough situations that left him with some conflicts with other dogs. But that’s all in the past now! Since joining The Little Red Dog, Norman has truly shown what an affectionate, fun-loving companion he can be. He’s a people-lover (with a little patience to warm up), and while he prefers being the only dog in a home, he’s calm and collected on walks around other pups.Norman loves to run and play, then curl up in a cozy bed for a well-deserved nap. Oh, and did we mention his adorable head tilt? It’s his signature look, caused by a past ear surgery, but it only adds to his charm! Norman deserves a home where he can finally have the love and stability he’s always craved. Could you be the one to give him that?March 1, 2025, 9:43 pm
