Our Mission: The Life of a Stray
"Within the heart of every stray,
lies the singular desire to be loved"
This simple fact is what has inspired the founders of Green Pup Shelter to expand their energy and resources to save and better the lives of unwanted and abandoned dogs. Each founder brings years of experience working in shelters and foster homes dedicated to rescuing and adopting out dogs that would otherwise be euthanized.
Saving one dog may not make a difference to the world, but it makes a difference to that one dog.
At Green Pup Shelter, every dog is special. Most come to us from kill shelters, often traumatized, always lonely and fearful. We provide the love, care and security many have once known but may have forgotten.
Dogs are not our whole life but they make our lives whole.
Taking in unwanted dogs, making them healthy and well, finding them a loving home and knowing that we have made their lives better is our reward. For the adopter, the reward is a loving, loyal and faithful companion. For the dog, the reward is obvious, life.
Green Pup Shelter is a no-kill shelter. Our goal is to recycle unwanted dogs.
Green Pup Shelter's 2012 Prom, Enchanted Tails, was held on May 19 at the Royal Melbourne Country Club and was a great success! Thanks to all who participated! Click here to view photos of the event.
