Story
HI - I'M SHIRLEY, and I'm a very special girl. I was clearly loved by someone once because I'm pretty chubby - I weigh about 93 pounds! I was impounded at a scary California shelter and while there, I rested patiently, just waiting for someone to notice me. I'm a 7-year-old Lab-Pit mix, so I figured it may take awhile, and sure enough I ended up being the shelter's longest resident. They kept me around for months because I am such a great, easygoing girl. I'm very quiet, mellow and I love human attention and affection. I'd make a great movie-watching buddy or snuggler. I truly need a foster or forever home as right now I don't have one. If you can open your home and heart to be, I would be so grateful. I'm currently in Southern California, but can be transported to Idaho. Please email for an application.

Story
Shaggy is a bundle of sunshine with fur—always wagging, always ready, always in. He’s the kind of dog who wakes up excited about literally everything: walks, treats, belly rubs, and especially new friends. Sweet-natured and endlessly energetic, Shaggy lives life at full zoomies and spreads good vibes wherever he goes.

Story
INTRODUCING ODIN Odin is a 2.5-year-old, 18 lb Chihuahua/Border Collie mix with a big heart packed into a compact little body. This sweet, sensitive boy is available for adoption through Paws Rescue Inc. Odin is incredibly cuddly and deeply devoted to his people once he feels safe. He’s smart, eager to learn, and full of playful energy. He loves toys, enjoys engaging with his humans, and would especially thrive with another dog around his size after slow, proper introductions. Odin is looking for a patient, kind adopter who will advocate for him and continue helping him build confidence. He hasn’t been exposed to much in his young life, but with guidance and consistency, he truly shines. Sensitive dogs like Odin form the most incredible bonds — and he is absolutely worth it. Knows: sit, come, wait, off, and up Great leash manners and solid recall Housetrained Settles quickly in a crate (though it’s not his favorite) Needs regular exercise and mental enrichment (otherwise socks become fair game!) Requires a securely fenced yard Odin does best with slow introductions to other dogs, especially larger ones, but once comfortable, he loves to play and snuggle. Older, dog-savvy children may be a good fit with supervision. Cats and chickens will require supervision while his behavior is assessed. His foster mom is even offering a few free training sessions (in the Boise area) to help his adopters start off strong and set him up for continued success. If you’re ready to adopt a sensitive, loyal little guy who will love you with his whole heart, Odin may be your perfect match. 🐾

Story
Ray is a really sweet girl, she is great with kids and other pets. She needs something to do during the day to keep her busy and unfortunately our schedules have become too busy. Our yard is too small for her and I believe she would do much better with someone who had a large piece of property or someone who is retired and can spend more time with her. She is a fantastic guard dog! She is fully house trained and prefers to be inside but she spends a lot of time outside.
