Adoptable GHR Dogs

Huckleberry Finn, affectionately known as Huck, is one of our Ridglan beagles who is learning to navigate a world very different from the one he once knew.

Huck is a sweet, sensitive boy with a curious beagle nose and a personality that continues to blossom. After spending much of his life in an environment where everyday experiences were unfamiliar, he’s discovering what it means to be a beloved companion.

Huck is still learning how to manage excitement, anxiety, and overstimulation. He thrives with consistency, structure, and a predictable routine. While he’s made progress, his future family will need to understand that building confidence and learning new behaviors takes time.

Huck’s Ideal Home

Huck would do best as the only dog in the household, where he can receive individualized attention, guidance, and companionship. Ideally, his adopter would be someone who works from home, is retired, or has a flexible schedule that allows them to be away no longer than four hours a day.

His ideal family will be patient, compassionate, and committed to continued training using positive reinforcement. Huck needs someone who understands that adjusting to a new environment is a process and that consistency, realistic expectations, and patience are essential to his success.

Huck isn’t looking for perfection, and we aren’t expecting perfection from him. We’re looking for someone who recognizes his potential and is willing to invest the time and effort to help him thrive.

Haddie is approximately one year old, full of energy, incredibly strong, and bursting with personality! She’s a young dog with so much potential, but she needs the right person who understands the commitment involved in raising and training an energetic, physically strong dog.

Haddie needs structure, consistency, boundaries, and continued training. She is still learning basic obedience, appropriate manners, and potty training. Her future adopter must be patient, confident, physically capable of handling her strength, and committed to providing clear expectations and daily guidance.

Haddie is great with other dogs and enjoys having canine companions. However, she is still learning to respect their boundaries and may push them, so she will need continued guidance and supervision during interactions with other dogs.

Haddie is not a dog who will thrive without structure. She needs someone who understands that training is an ongoing commitment, not something accomplished overnight. Regular exercise, mental stimulation, positive reinforcement, and a predictable routine will be essential to her success.

Her ideal adopter will be someone with experience handling strong, high-energy dogs who is willing to invest the time, patience, and dedication she deserves.

Consider opening your heart and home to this AMAZING guy.
Benji is the sweetest, most adorable, goofy black pittie. He is approximately 4 years old, a 67ish-pound pit bull who was saved from a high-kill shelter in California just in the nick of time!

Benji absolutely loves people, is easy to get along with and very well-mannered. He is house and crate trained and would thrive in a home with no other animals.

Benji LOVES to play fetch, go on short walks, enjoys toys of all kinds, and LOVES to cuddle. He has such an amazing personality that after spending some time with him you cannot help but fall in love.

Benji would love a family to give him a warm loving home where he can enjoy play time and cuddles with his humans or one amazing human to call his. Benji is currently loving life in a foster home while he waits for his forever home.

When Benji was at the shelter, he had surgery for a necrotic femoral head and has since recovered. Although he is younger, Benji will need to remain on a pain management plan for his arthritis, which has been well-managed with carprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.

Benji does not let anything slow him down! Just meet this beautiful boy and his love and personality will win you over!

Can you open your heart and home to this handsome man?

Paloma is available!

Paloma is a happy girl here in her favorite spot at her foster home, keeping track of the neighborhood with the steadfast assist of her favorite toys in the window!

This beautiful approximately 10-year-old girl still has the heart (and energy!) of a puppy. She loves squeaky toys, chasing squirrels, and going on walks—but she’s just as happy to curl up beside you for a cozy nap on the couch.

She’s a people-loving shadow dog who just wants to be by your side, whether it’s playtime, training time, or relaxation time. She’s potty trained, knows her basic commands, and adores showing off her tricks—she’s a fast learner who thrives on praise and attention.

Miss Paloma is looking for her forever family to share life’s joys with.

Meet Fred & Ned — a bonded father-and-son duo!

Fred and Ned were rescued together from the Moreno Valley shelter and are now looking for a forever home where they can stay together.

These two are a goofy, loving pair of boys who absolutely adore their people. They are loyal, affectionate, playful, and full of personality. They also have plenty of energy and can be quite barky, so they’ll do best with a family who appreciates their enthusiasm and doesn’t mind a little extra commentary from the boys.

Both Fred and Ned are healthy and ready for their next chapter. Fred is estimated to be around 4 years old, while Ned is estimated to be between 2–4 years old.

As for their breed mix? Your guess is as good as ours! Whatever their little mix-burrito may be, they sure are adorable.

Fred & Ned are bonded and are looking for a home together. If you’re ready for double the goofy, double the loyalty, and double the love, these boys may be your perfect pair.

Toby has truly blossomed into a happy, eager-to-please companion. With his regal demeanor and loving personality, Toby is a smart and cuddly dog who shows deep respect for his caregivers. Now, he’s ready to settle into his well-earned retirement home. While we're unsure how he would do with small dogs or cats, he does well with large, calm dogs. Slow introductions are required. Toby has been fully vetted, including a comprehensive wellness exam with bloodwork, which has shown him to be a healthy senior dog. Our best guess is that Toby is between 8 and 10 years old.

Toby is looking for a home where he can continue to thrive — could that be with you?

Meet our sweet 10-year-old senior queen 👑💛

She’s silly, affectionate, and potty trained—and she LOVES crinkle toys, soft-toy demolition, and watching squirrels like it’s the best show on earth. 🐿️✨

She’ll happily take almost any treat… except apples. Absolutely not. 🍎🚫😆

She needs slow intros with other dogs (small dogs aren’t her fave), and she’s managing a grade 5 heart murmur and some skin issues. But her heart? Pure gold.

Ready to love a goofy, gentle, squirrel-watching soulmate? She’s ready to meet you.

“Finny” came to Green Heart Rescue as a stray from Moreno Valley, California. We don't know much about his past, but it's obvious he has known what it means to be a loved companion. We think he may be a Pug mix and are waiting on his Embark DNA results to discover exactly what perfect formula made this little guy.

At about 23 pounds, Finny is a perfect go-anywhere size. He has done well with dogs he's met, but his greatest gift is the connection he makes with people. He makes eye contact, checks in constantly, and looks to his person for reassurance. He's eager to please, extremely food motivated, and a lightning-fast learner.

Don't let his size fool you — this guy was made for speed! Finny loves hiking, fetch, and riding in the car. In appropriate areas he has been remarkably responsive off-leash, continually checking in throughout the adventure. He sleeps well in a crate, respects fence boundaries, and is learning house manners quickly.

Finny has been gentle while learning that human hands aren't toys for mouthing, and occasional thoughts about marking indoors are easily redirected with a verbal reminder. We suspect he may be younger than the shelter's estimate. Because he showed considerable intensity when introduced to a large, dog-savvy cat, a cat-free home is recommended.
