Story
Hi, I'm Larry!I'm your pocket-sized LOVEBUG with a big personality and an even bigger craving for cuddles! I'm pretty laid back... unless it's time for affection-then I'm all in for snuggles, playtime, and nonstop pets (seriously, it's my favorite hobby). I love treats, stay active and athletic, and strut my stuff like a champ on leash. I'm confident, friendly with other dogs, and always ready to charm a room. I'm eager to impress and prove I'm the ultimate tiny companion with a giant heart!*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots program*Qualifies for Senior to Senior programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Tan Weight: 16.125 Age: 6yrs 2mths 1wks

Story
Hi, I'm Kanga, I'm your resident Tenderheart with a big brain and an even bigger love for snacks! I'm an 8-year-old gal who believes in taking things slow, soaking up gentle guidance, and winning people over one treat at a time (seriously, I love treats). I do best when I'm handled kindly, and once I feel comfortable, my affectionate side comes out strong-expect cuddles and couch potato companionship! I walk like a pro on a leash, and keep things mellow around the house. New people and situations take me a little time to warm up to, but with patience and positivity, I'm building my confidence every day and proving that soft hearts can be seriously smart too.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Ima a Yoshi (Yoshi)! Ima a Yoshi—or just Yoshi to his friends—is a brave, resilient little guy with a heart of gold. At 2.5 years old and a sturdy 12–13 pounds, this full-grown Chihuahua is the perfect size for any adventure! His Story Yoshi returned from a harrowing three-week "solo adventure" after being lost. While we are so grateful he’s back safe, his time fending for himself has changed his outlook on feline friends. We suspect he may have had a few tough run-ins with aggressive cats while he was away. As a result, Yoshi has officially retired from the "cat-friend" business and will chase. Why Yoshi is the Best Companion: Expert Traveler: Yoshi is a dream in the car and absolutely loves going for rides. Whether it’s a trip to the store or a weekend getaway, he’s ready to be your co-pilot! Walk Enthusiast: He loves to get out and explore the world on his leash. House Trained: He’s a true gentleman indoors and knows the ropes of a home. Devoted & Loyal: After being lost for so long, he truly appreciates the comfort of a warm lap and the love of his humans. The Perfect Match Yoshi is looking for a strictly feline-free home. He wants to be your one-and-only star and doesn't want to worry about any cats in his personal space. In return, he promises to be the most loyal, loving, and spunky companion you’ve ever met. Ready to bring Yoshi home? Yoshi is available through Rescue Rover Dog Adoption.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi! My name is Spaghetti Bolognese, but you will be able to call me anything in the right tone of voice and I'll get excited! I'm a female Terrier mix with a lovely scruffy wiry coat and I'm around 10 months old. I weigh around 15 pounds right now but I'm eating like I intend to put on a few more for my ideal weight which will likely be around 20 pounds. I am cautious going into new experiences or environments, but I guess it’s natural since I was found wandering the streets looking for my next meal. I’m slowly starting to enjoy this family life. I love ALL the toys in the house, especially my ball. My favorite time is chasing my ball in the backyard or just being a couch potato. I love my kennel because it serves as my base and safe place, and I venture out more and more each day and have become more comfortable with different parts of the house that my foster parents expose me to. I'm learning so many new things like walking on a leash and basic commands. I’m doing so well with potty training on a schedule. I absolutely love being with my humans but need a slow introduction to others. I'm looking for a calm, patient and loving home that allows a good balance of moving at my own pace while also challenging me with new things. I would do best with older dog savvy kids and cats are unknown. I like other dogs and would prefer to have another dog show me the ropes.   If you are looking for a sweet girl with lots of love to give, I’m your girl!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi! I’m Bullet Rogan and I want to be your new best friend! I am a 5 year old, 13lb chihuahua mix. Of course we can’t know for sure what my exact breed is, but we’re pretty sure that pug is a pretty big part of the equation! Just look at my cute underbite! I love all the things, but mostly I love to follow you from room to room. And next best I love to play catch me if you can! So I’ll follow, follow, follow…and then when you try to pick me up, it’s a fun game! I’m a happy boy. I think most everything is fun! I love my dog friends and my toys, too! You’ll know I’m a happy guy because I will wag my bum. Yes, I have a tail and I suppose that’s what’s really wagging, but my whole bum likes to get in on the action. Foster mom says I’m 100% wiggle butt! I am good in my crate, good in the car and good on leash. I’m pretty darn close to housetrained, too! I haven’t had any accidents in my foster home, but some of that may be because foster mom is pretty good at making sure dogs don’t potty inside. With a good schedule and some reminders, I should be no trouble to potty train! Last thing we should mention about me. When I came to the shelter I had several gashes that needed to be doctored up. I’m all healed now! But at the sheltr I did get a little nippy. Probably because I was scared and hurting. Since I came to my foster home I’ve been very sweet and gentle with no problems! If you think I could be the cute boy for you, apply to meet me today at  https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 29, 2025, 4:21 pm
