For those who do not yet know, Greendog is closed. The founder, Colleen Combs, passed away in March of this year.
The loss of Colleen has hit her friends and loved ones very hard. That’s a given. The rescue community is also greatly impacted.
Over the years, Greendog had saved and adopted out over 3,500 dogs. Colleen rarely said no when asked to take in the dogs. All breeds. Behavior problems were rehabilitated. ‘Unadoptable’ dogs became loved family pets.
It was a very sad day when Colleen passed, and another very sad day when Greendog closed.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make Greendog what it was. Thank you, Douglas Keene, for co-founding this amazing organization and helping to get it started.
Rest In Peace, Colleen, and know we all love you and miss you.
