Story
I’m Kellen, but also am called Toby. I am around 2 years old and weigh around 60 pounds. The humans think I might be a mix of border collie and hound. My foster mom and sister say I’m a handsome boy, what do you think? I am very laid back and could totally be a couch potato but would really prefer to be a bit active. I get the zoomies a lot if I don’t get proper exercise, so a fenced in yard might be nice in my future home. My foster mom says I need a strong leader that can help train me a bit and help remember the human is the boss. I like to bark and act a little protective sometimes.
I previously had a family but they decided a dog wasn’t meant for them, so GOTGM helped me and I went to a foster home that loves me like I am their very own boy, but they just can’t keep me forever, could you?
My previous home had two little toddler aged girls and I was great with them. I never cared if they were by me or petting me as long as they were nice. I haven’t really been socialized around other dogs, but I’m pretty laid back and think I could be friendly with the right dog. I have met a calm female dog and did great with a little excitement, but no aggression. I still need to meet a boy dog like me and maybe a small dog too.
I am super smart and know some basic commands like Sit, Stay, Shake, “Go” and Come. I am potty and crate trained and am a breeze to take care of. I love my humans and always want to be with them. I love laying RIGHT NEXT to them, almost on top, but I know my limits. I like to stand up on my back legs and get and give hugs.
I am learning how to walk on a leash at this time as well.
I haven’t found much pleasure in squeaky toys or tug toys, but I love chasing balls and a big KONG. I’m getting great at retrieving it back to the humans. I LOVE treats! I also LOVE stealing my moms oven mitts, so you might have to hide those from me initially...
If you think I could fit into your life, I would love to meet you and see if we click!
Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Guardians of the Green Mile Inc. We are a group of individuals that have come together to save the lives of animals that are in danger of being euthanized. We raise funds to fully vet the animals and to provide them with a stable home until they are adopted. All of the dogs in our Rescue are in Foster homes while they are looking for their forever family. The only time we put a dog in boarding is for a Foster to go on vacation if another Foster is not able to care for them. We appreciate your taking the time to fill out the application to adopt one of our Guardians of the Green Mile pets. The questions that we ask are to only find the right fit for all of our dogs and the families that will be adopting them. Adoption fees are $300 for dogs that are 1 year and older. $350 for puppies under 1 year. Included in the adoption fee: All animals will be fully vetted, micro chipped and spayed or neutered. (Deposit of $50.00 required if they are not old enough to have the surgery) Renter’s will be required to submit a copy of their lease agreement to verify Landlord and also All Fosters and Adopters that have personal animals must be spayed / neutered. Age appropriate and healthy enough for surgery, we will verify that with the reference call to your Veterinarian. We are 100% volunteer operated and will process your application within a few days to a week depending on volunteer availability. We will be checking with your veterinarian and personal references, please let them know ahead of time. Applicants will be interviewed and require a home visit before being approved to adopt or foster a dog from GOTGM. Here is the link to our Adoption or Foster Application http://jotform.us/form/43196636952162 Please complete the form to the best of your ability. Enter N/A if a question does not apply to you. Applicants must be 21 or older. Thank you Guardians of the Green Mile.
