Adult Dogs for Adoption in Green Bay, WI: 30 Grown-Up Dogs Looking for a Home

1. Loco
Adult · Male · Dachshund / Mixed · 77 mi from Green Bay




This is Loco! He really doesn't even need a bio because his name says it all. He is full of energy and has so much love to give. He loves to be up on your lap and in your space. Loco doesn't mind the dogs here at the shelter but seems a little too interested in the cats. He would be an excellent family dog. We believe he is a long-haired dachshund! Loco is a clingy guy, so he would love a family that could give him a lot of attention! If you are interested in adopting Loco, please fill out an application at www.hspcwi.org/adopt. Loco is up to date on his vaccines, neutered, heartworm negative, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $300+ tax. If you are a resident of Portage County a dog license will be issued at the time of adoption!

2. Tortilla
Adult · Female · Boxer / Mixed · 77 mi from Green Bay




This interesting looking girl is Tortilla. Lovingly named after her tortilla chip shaped ears. She could be in the running for the world record of "Smallest Ears on a Dog". We really don't know what breed she is, but she has the body of a boxer and the face of a greyhound. She is long, leggy, smooth, sleek, and looks great in a sweater. On top of her good looks, she has quite the personality. She loves to run, play and receive attention. Tortilla would be a great dog to take out on the trail to do some hiking or playing fetch in the back yard. When she is all done with that, she would like to fall asleep on the couch with a bunch of blankets.
Read more about Tortilla
Tortilla is 37lbs and ready to go home! She is a little nervous, so we don't recommend small children for her. She would do better with older children that are respectful of boundaries. She seems to do well with male dogs and does not seem to mind cats. Tortilla's adoption fee is $200 + tax. She is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting this house noodle, you can fill out an application on our website!

Meet Laverne
This sweet girl came to us from MADACC in Milwaukee. We don't know much about her past but her future is going to be great!!
Read more about Laverne
Her first day in foster she was already comfortable with the other dogs. She is all about walks and being outside if the weather is nice. Where does see sleep? Well, we tried the kennel but she wasn't a fan. Instead Laverne used the doggie steps and found her way to foster mom's bed. She is so sweet and snuggly we don't mind at all.
We never have to ask where is Laverne because she is always right by your side or near your feet. She's doing great with potty training and she's a good little eater.
Let's talk about her cutest feature those ears. Man she tells stories with them. One time there both up. Sometimes one is high and one is low. So adorable!!!
Apply for Laverne today. You will be glad you did!!! She's the total package!!
Our Pack Animal Rescue, Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823.
Meet and greets are arranged after an application has been approved. An approved application does not mean you must adopt the dog of interest, if it isn't a good fit.

Now, this sweet boy is looking for a fresh start with a family who can make him a priority.

28. Winnifred
Adult · Female · Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 39 mi from Green Bay




Meet Winnifred, your very own personal cheerleader!
Whatever your plans are, Winnifred is your biggest supporter! Taking a nap? She's in. Going for a run? LET'S GO! Laying on the floor? Sounds amazing. Doing laundry? BEST DAY EVER!
Honestly, she doesn't care what you're doing, as long as she's doing it with you!
Winnifred loves EVERYONE, including kids, and firmly believes personal space is completely unnecessary.
She's still working on her leash manners because apparently "going for a walk" translates to "FULL SPEED AHEAD!" in Winnifred's world. She does ride nicely in the car, though. Being a Passenger princess is her second job.
Read more about Winnifred
This sweet girl came to us from Milwaukee. We don't know much about her past, but it appears she's recently had puppies and somehow found herself without a home.
Right now, we're working on putting some much-needed weight on her, which means extra meals, plenty of snacks, and all the love she can soak up!
Whatever her past looked like, we're determined to make sure her future is filled with everything she deserves.

29. Wednesday
Adult · Female · Labrador Retriever / Terrier / Mixed · 77 mi from Green Bay




It is the perfect time of year to bring a little black dog named Wednesday home! She has the sweetest little face and a unique crooked smile that makes it look like she has pulled a sneaky little prank on you and is waiting for you to find out. When she comes up to greet you, her whole body wags with her tail. Just like the real Wednesday, she prefers to not have to share with others. Wednesday won't go after dogs, but she does not like them up in her business. Cats are an absolute no-go for her. She would love nothing more but to chase them! She would like to have a home with no other siblings.
Read more about Wednesday
She seems to do well with children and would not mind having someone to play with! Wednesday is approximately 40lbs and could stand to lose a few! We can't blame her for that; it's tough to stay away from the treats this time of year! We are not sure what her breed is, but she seems to be a black lab/terrier mix since she is on the smaller side! Wednesday is up to date on her shots, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $100 + tax. If you live in Portage County, a dog license will be issued at the time of adoption! Hurry and scoop this pocket-sized gal up!

Adult · Male · Labrador Retriever / Mixed · 77 mi from Green Bay




Coming in at a slim 90lbs, we are welcoming Colt to the adoptable dogs team! This man LOVES kisses. We are not sure what his breed is, but his attitude and demeanor scream labrador retriever. When he is feeling affectionate, he gently gives love nibbles. He also chatters his teeth together when he is sniffing something new or giving you a kiss on the face. He is full of personality and love and is ready to find his forever family. Colt seems to do well with other dogs and doesn't mind cats. He is quite a big boy, so Colt would do better with older, sturdier children so he does not knock them down.

Why adopt an adult dog in Green Bay
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
