Welcome to Green Dogs Unleashed

Pickles is an almost 5 year old, 43 pound spaniel mix who absolutely loves people. He's a sweet dog, and very good with adults and older kids. He needs lots of attention and time to play! He knows basic commands like 'come,' 'sit,' 'stay,' and 'shake.' Pickles had trouble adjusting when his family had a baby. He has some anxiety around larger dogs he doesn't know, and around small children (preschool and younger); he takes prozac once per day to help. Pickles has had trouble marking the baby's space and things, but he hasn't repeated this behavior anywhere else so we're hopeful it won't be an issue in his new home. With a lot of attention and exercise, his anxiety gets much better. Pickles is good on a leash, although meeting other dogs without anxiety will take some work. He loves being around people, and would be a great addition to a home that will give him lots of love, patience, and attention.

At the time you are seeing this post, Pickles 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 $300.00. 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.
