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 Vega

Sour patch, baby shark, might tiny— just a few of the nicknames this little girl has acquired within the past week of being here. Heart of a lion, size of a mouse. Strong willed and independent. She knows what she wants and is fully determined to do anything to get it. Sassy comes in all sizes— including hers! She plays hard but snuggles even harder. Loves playing with stuffies and tennis balls. Is learning to sleep through the night and no accidents in her puppy crib (she whines when she needs to go out). Working on potty training. Sometimes she lets you know, others she’ll use the potty pad I have indoors. Starting to work on basic commands- she’s a quick learner! Food motivation is wonderful for her. Still trying to teach her manners, but she’s slowly learning. ❤️ Vega is around 3 months old and is guessed to be an Aussie mix. She will be medium size. If interested in adopting this little lady- you can fill out an application: https://www.jotform.us/form/43196636952162 ***** Vega, named after the brightest star on the Northern hemisphere. Vega is a very active pup. She is a constant source of entertainment and loves toys that squeak. Seems to get along well with the others (canines) in the house. Though she is initially intimidated by the larger sizes which last about 10 seconds. Then the real Vega comes out. She exhumes confidence and playfulness. If you’re looking for a very active pup, she’s your girl. Vega is approximately 3 months of age. Brindle, big brown eyes and a left ear that’s a little floppy Did I mention she is adventurous? She’s just learning potty training and some good manners. She looking for a home that can continue showing her good manners. Her beginning wasn’t the greatest as she and her siblings spent 2 weeks in isolation due to Parvo. The stars truly aligned in their favor. They all made it through and have a clean bill of health We believe this litter to be Aussie mixes. Obviously there's at least one or two other breeds mixed in there. Vega is the cute little odd duck of the litter looking very different from her siblings. If you are looking for a new pup fitting her description this is your chance. Vega 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
