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 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. He wants more than anything to jump up next to you and cuddle. He's neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped. 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. 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

Meet Val Kilmer! Val was a shelter favorite and the shelter manager begged for a rescue to take him to avoid euthanasia. This beautiful boy has spent the first 4-5 months of his life at a rural Texas shelter, never knowing a family of his own. He's been in foster care with us for about 4 months and while he's having a great time, he would love a family of his own. Val loves other dogs and would enjoy a doggy sibling. He also does fine with cats. He is the softest dog, he feels like a bunny. Outside of being shy initially, his foster mom reports he is very smart and learns easily. He gets a little scared when he's alone, so his dream family would be home often, or would be able to take him to work. His favorite thing to do is run in the yard, and lounge in front of the fireplace with a nice chew bone. His adoption fee includes microchip, vaccinations, and neuter.

Story

Meet Salem! This sweet baby is one of our 9 "Wednesday litter" we have in our rescue. We pulled Mama and babies (Mama's picture is also included in the photoset) from euthanasia in Texas. She and her babies are currently settled in a foster home. They are ready to find their forever families now! Salem is a playful and sensitive pup with a heart full of love once he feels comfortable with you. He loves toys, gets the silliest zoomies, and would love to curl up on the couch with you once he’s burned up his energy. While he’s naturally curious, Salem can be a bit nervous around new people, unfamiliar dogs, and brand‑new places. With slow introductions, patience, and positive reinforcement, he will warm up and show you his true sweet self. He is very smart and easy to train, especially when food is involved. Apples, bananas and cheese are some of his favorites. He is great with his potty training and has been working on basic commands such as sit, down and touch. He loves exploring the yard and his favorite thing is to play with his dog friends. He feels most confident when he has a canine buddy to look up to and would thrive in a home with another calm, confident dog who can show him the ropes and help him continue building trust in the world. Salem is looking for a patient, understanding home that will help him grow at his own pace. If you’re willing to go slow, offer gentle encouragement, and celebrate all his small victories, you’ll have the most loyal best friend! Neuter, microchip, and current vaccines all included in their adoption fee. If you are interested in getting set up to adopt one of these babies please apply below: freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story

Meet Joe! A sweet 7-8 lb puppy that was saved during the Texas freeze. He was left outside during the coldest time of the year and a rescuer found him and took him in. He's been all about the blankets and sweaters since! Joe is everything we love about puppies. Friendly, playful, and so adorable. He plays hard and naps harder. His breed is only our best guess, and we think he's about 3 months old. Joe is a blank canvas that is ready to join a family of his own. Neuter, microchip, and current vaccines all included in his adoption fee. Please start with the adoption application: freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story

***NEEDS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME*** Currently in Boise boarding kennels Meet ZEUS ! He is an affectionate, people-loving, 45-lb, 12-year-old male pitbull mix who is looking for a quiet, stable home willing to provide comfort care after all that he has endured. Despite his past, he is friendly, loving and deeply human-oriented. ZEUS is fine with off-leash doggy playgroups at his boarding kennel, but he doesn't really engage. He enjoys sniffing the room and resting. He adores all the attention that he receives from the staff and volunteers. He loves treats and food. ZEUS walks well on a loose leash and with other dogs. He even 'checks in' with his handler (see video). ZEUS was lucky to be in a foster home to recover from neuter surgery. We learned that he is housetrained, cratetrained, and sleeps through the night. He loves exploring new smells around the house or on walks. He loves peanut butter so can pass the time in his crate or when you are away from him with a lick mat or a stuffed Kong. ZEUS is fine with resident dogs, but has not learned how to share resources like your love and your food. He will let you know about his displeasure with a warning growl. We are looking for a home where this behaviour can either be managed (i.e., avoid these situations) or a home without other dogs. ZEUS should be fine in any calm home, including respectful elementary school age kids. He would be ideal for an older couple looking to walk each day. ZEUS is healthy, neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines for his forever family.

APPLICATION: https://forms.gle/U3UUbdpNzZVpxP9h8 BACKGROUND: ZEUS (former TARYN) and his brother were found November 2025 living in substandard conditions after their family abandoned them. They both received emergency vet care for starvation, dehydration, and other complications from prolonged neglect. Despite all they’ve endured, they are gentle, soft-natured, and incredibly sweet.
