Mission Statement
GreenDog Foundation is non-profit public charity dedicated to rescuing dogs marked for euthanasia. We specialize in dogs in which the shelters label as "rescue only" or "non-adoptable". Oftentimes, these are dogs that have been hit by cars, are suffering from mange, have growths, hernias, bad teeth or some other ailment that with the proper medical treatment and time, can be brought back to health. We then carefully screen our adopters and pair our dogs with families that are the best suited for them. We believe that animals who are at our mercy should be treated mercifully. Your donation goes directly to the needs and welfare of dogs who are in urgent need of medical attention, nutrition and most importantly, a loving home.
About This Cause
GreenDog Foundation is a foster-based dog rescue located in Southern California. "Foster-based" means that our dogs that we pull from California shelters are not placed in boarding or other types of holding facilities. Our dogs are placed with families in homes so that we can better assess the dog's personality and traits. By knowing the dog's strengths and weaknesses, we can best fit the dog to a permanent adopter. The primary location of GreenDog Foundation is the GreenDog Ranch which is located off of Hwy 74 (better known as the Ortega Hwy) in the Cleveland National Forest over the towns of San Juan Capistrano and Lake Elsinore. The GDF Ranch is a 3 acre facility in the mountains at 3200' and offers loads of room to run and grow, a pool to cool off and play in during the hot summer months and always people hands-on to help with the maintenance and care of our dogs. Many of our dogs are hospice (meaning that they have very special needs), and if no one willingly adopts them and is willing to take on the medical responsibilities associated with a hospice dog, the dog will remain at the GreenDog Foundation Ranch where it will live out the remainder of its life with love and more love and even more love. All hospice dogs will forever remain at the ranch in what we call the 'Rainbow Garden' when they are ready to cross and there they will stay and never be forgotten.
