Meet Benjamin

April 14, 2018

Benjamin is one of 5 beautiful pups born to Beatrix Potter, a pregnant Biewer Terrier pup brought to Green Dogs Unleashed for a safe haven. We don't know for sure what breed the Dad was, but the original rescue feels he might have been a Chihuahua.

As a 10-day old puppy, there really is no 'personality' information to share, but we can update as they get a little older and start moving around. We just wanted to get them posted so we can be working on applications for interested parties while they grow. You MUST have an approved application prior to meeting the pups. An approved application does not commit you to adopt, but we cannot have a flood of people through the foster home while they are so young.

We will be pre-adopting these pups, so that they have committed families when they are old enough to leave Momma (which is at about 8 or 9 weeks of age).

This is a very informative article about Biewer Terriers - please learn about this breed, and be committed to grooming and exercise needs, before applying to adopt. https://www.dogbreedinfo.com/biewer.htm.

At this point in time, we have no idea if the pups will have long hair like Mom, or not. Momma and pups are being fostered at Lake Monticello, VA. Please join us on facebook for pupdates.

*/*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be via email. Please keep an eye on your inbox AND spam folders, just in case. */*/*

We are happy to consider applicants from out of state. However, if the applicant is approved, 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 donation of 300.00. This is a minimum donation and does not cover all expenses, as we are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum donation 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. This minimum donation does not even begin to cover the actual expenses each animal has while in rescue, but does go directly towards vet care for our rescue animals. 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.
