The pack model provides a healthier social, physical, and psychological environment resulting in balanced dogs, making them more adoptable and better equipped to succeed in our human world. Green Dog offers workshops, pre-surrender counseling, pre-adoption counseling including matchmaking, post-adoption support including in-home training, internships, volunteer programs, and rehabilitation for unbalanced and "at risk" dogs.
Douglas, in addition to being a top chef, is a certified dog trainer and is active every day with the hands-on training and rehabilitation of his four legged friends at Green Dog Rescue. His connection with animals started early with dogs especially becoming loyal, trusting friends when he was growing up. As co-founder of Green Dog, Douglas works to give to animals that have been abandoned and create a space that allows them to flourish.

"Finnegan arrived at a local vet's office and was going to be put down because he needed two knee replacement surgeries. His gait is a little wonky because of the replacements, but he's got the energy and spirit of a lovable puppy. He's exactly the kind of dog who deserves a second chance and just a little special care."
