Story
Meet adorable Ferb! This sweet guy is 3 years old and looking for a family that can give him all of the love and exercise he desires. Ferb is smart as a whip and quick to learn. He knows all basic training, and does well off leash. He is loyal and loves to stay by his person. Ferb would love an active family, or even doggy daycare where he can play, and then end the day cuddling. He is SO sweet, and also a big guy, so he would do best in a home with just adults, or older children. Ferb is a seasoned camper and hiker, he knows the drill when it comes to the mountains. Neuter, microchip, and current vaccines all included in his adoption fee. Please start with the adoption application: freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story
Meet Val Kilmer! Val was a shelter favorite and the shelter manager begged for a rescue to avoid euthanasia. This beautiful boy has spent his whole life at a rural Texas shelter, never knowing a family of his own. Despite this, he’s a wonderful happy boy who wants nothing more than a family of his own. Growing up in the shelter, he’s used to being around other dogs and is very dog friendly. His foster mom reports he is very smart and learns easily. His favorite thing to do is run in the yard, and lounge in front of the fireplace with a nice chew bone. Please consider making Val part of your family! His adoption fee includes microchip, vaccinations, and neuter. Apply to adopt this perfect little boy below: Www.freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story
Meet Scout! The sweetest little guy with a sad past- he's looking forward to a bright future! Scout was found on a property that we're currently helping with that has 60 dogs. Needless to say- he's very dog friendly! Scout is a chill boy that does well off leash and enjoys following his human around. He's small at 29 lbs. Scout can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly. He's eager to be involved and apart of someone's family, we're excited to give him this opportunity. Scout is in South Texas waiting for his ride to Boise at the beginning of Feb. He's neutered, current on vaccines, and will be microchipped. Unfortunately he's going through heartworm treatment, but that will just be a series of injections (covered by the rescue) and is expected to be a quick and easy treatment as usual. He's ready to head straight to his new home so that we can turn our focus to his dog buddies still on the hoarding property. Please start with the adoption application: freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story
***NEEDS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME*** Currently boarding in Boise Meet ROXY! She is a 5-year-old, 46-lb affectionate, people-loving cuddlebug who will melt into your arms the moment you sit down. She is housetrained and good with kids. ROXY's story hasn’t been an easy one. This beautiful pup spent too long fending for herself, trying to get by without the love and care every dog deserves. While she was technically "owned", the owners didn't care for her, letting her get pregnant, and roam the streets. But even after all she’s been through, ROXY is still the sweetest girl. In our rescue, ROXY finally knows what kindness feels like and is soaking it all in — and giving it right back. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, resting her head on your lap, or greeting you with a happy tail wag, ROXY's favorite thing in the world is simply being loved. She is old enough to appreciate a good nap, but still young enough for playtime and leisurely walks. After everything she’s endured, ROXY is ready for her next chapter — one filled with belly rubs, soft blankets, and a family that will cherish her for the rest of her life. Spay, microchip, and current vaccines all included in her $150 adoption fee. If you’re looking for a dog who will love you with her whole heart, ROXY is your girl. Please share this post to help ROXY find her forever family. She is ready for her new life to begin ❤️. Apply to meet and learn more about ROXY at www.freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story
Roxy’s story hasn’t been an easy one. This beautiful, middle-aged Pitbull mix spent too long fending for herself, trying to get by without the love and care every dog deserves. While she was technically "owned", the owners didn't care for her, letting her get pregnant, and roam the streets. But even after all she’s been through, Roxy is still the sweetest girl. Now that she is finally surrendered to us, she knows what kindness feels like, Roxy is soaking it all in — and giving it right back. She’s an affectionate, people-loving cuddlebug who will melt into your arms the moment you sit down. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, resting her head on your lap, or greeting you with a happy tail wag, Roxy’s favorite thing in the world is simply being loved. Roxy’s old enough to appreciate a good nap but still young enough for playtime and leisurely walks. After everything she’s endured, Roxy is ready for her next chapter — one filled with belly rubs, soft blankets, and a family that will cherish her for the rest of her life. If you’re looking for a dog who will love you with her whole heart, Roxy is your girl. Roxy would do best living as the only pet, but she loves to go for walks with other dogs and have gentle play outside of the home. Along with her terrible past, she is bringing along heartworm and valley fever both of which are being treated by the rescue. Spay, microchip, and current vaccines all included in her adoption fee.

Story
***NEEDS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME*** Currently in Boise boarding kennels Meet PRESLEY! She is a 6-year-old, 75-lb Bloodhound who is looking for an active family with a strong leader who knows the breed. PRESLEY has a medium energy level, enjoys the company of other dogs, and has never shown any reactivity. She showed no interest when we walked by an elementary school yard, but toddlers may not be a good fit only because of her size. PRESLEY seems to know about car rides, but may need some help to get in the back of an SUV. She seems to know 'sit', but may have a stubborn streak in her to learn more. She walks well on a leash; likes to go, go, go. She would make a good hiking partner. PRESLEY is spayed, microchipped and current on vaccines for her forever family.

APPLICATION: https://forms.gle/U3UUbdpNzZVpxP9h8 BACKGROUND: PRESLEY fka PRAISE was quickly adopted in early September after her original owner was no longer able to care for her. Unfortunately, she was a little too active for her senior adopter.
