Guardians of the Green Mile Inc

GOTGM began as a group that worked as a liaison between high kill shelters and rescue groups pulling animals that needed medical treatment, getting treatment and vetting done and then giving to the rescue group. GOTGM did the fundraising to pay for vetting, rescues kept the adoption fees. We have what is known as the Doggie Den where up to 2 pregnant momma dogs at a time can be pulled from shelters and kept safe to have their babies and stay until the pups are at least 8 weeks old and available for adoption. More recently GOTGM began growing a foster base of our own. We now pull dogs facing euthanasia that may need heartworm treatment, broken bones mended, or need emergency medical care (hit by care) and adopt them out ourselves when they are ready to go. We have a great core group of volunteers and expanding as are the services we provide in saving pets.

Meet Bruce

Who is looking for a Gentle Giant in a compact body? At 55lbs, Bruce is the perfect "small" sized large dog. Bruce was a stray that turned up at someone's house and a neighbor took him in trying to find his family. Sadly no one has stepped forward for this boy. He is a very sweet boy who is very cautious of noises, barks, cars etc. He is learning to sit on command and is working on his leash manners. He hasn't shown any aggression and is generally a slow easy-going guy. He enjoys laying down with his foster family and being petted. He likes to run down the deck stairs into the backyard, around to the other side, and back up. When he runs around in the yard, he lopes around playfully, which he didn't do 2 weeks ago! He is starting to open up for us. We are still learning about Bruce as he begins to come out of his shell, but his foster dad says, "I can see signs of a great dog!" Bruce is available through Guardians of the Green Mile (www.gotgm.org) of Portage, IN. Application can be found here: https://www.jotform.us/form/43196636952162
