Story
***NEEDS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME*** Currently in Boise boarding kennels Meet OGGIE! He is a gorgeous, healthy, soft 5.5-year-old, 45-lb male husky who is housetrained, knows basic commands, and leash manners. OGGIE is dog-friendly, having lived in a house with other dogs and teenagers. OGGIE was lucky to be fostered by a loving family so we learned more about him in a home. He is a sweet, smart boy who loves being close to his people. Around the house, he’s calm, quiet, and happy to nap nearby while you work or relax. He enjoys playing ball. He’s very food-motivated and eager to learn. He’s a great companion for someone who enjoys hikes or neighborhood strolls. OGGIE is still working on a few things, including leash reactivity to other dogs/small animals and some resource guarding. He can also be a bit selective with new people in his home, so he’ll do best with a patient, experienced owner who can continue his training. With the right home, OGGIE has so much potential to be an incredibly loyal and loving companion. OGGIE is neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines, so ready for his forever home.

Story
*Based in Portland, Oregon* Sally is a lovable Jack Russell Terrier mix who is approximately 4 years old and weighs 30 pounds. While she enjoys many classic JRT activities, she's not quite as high-energy as a purebred Jack Russell. While Sally has historically lived with other dogs, she has matured some and would do best as the only dog in the home, although she does enjoy the company of some dogs. She loves to watch for squirrels and sunbathe. One of Sally's favorite things is being with her people. She loves cuddling, curling up in laps, and spending quality time with her family. She also enjoys romping around the yard and being involved in daily activities. She is very mellow and tolerant of people and has a perfect balance of modest energy and a mellow nature happy to lounge around the house or be entirely satisfied with a walk or a short run. She's a perfect size to be easy to transport but not so small as to be fragile. She often comes over during the day to get scratches and belly rubs. Sally's adoption fee covers her spay, microchip, and current vaccines. The first step is the adoption application: https://forms.gle/9aMxKi7Yc5UEHu6q7

Story
To apply, follow this link: https://forms.gle/9aMxKi7Yc5UEHu6q7 Honeybee is a sweet boxer mix. She has so much love to give and deserves a home where she can feel safe, cherished, and has someone to play and exercise with. Honeybee is very well behaved. She's appropriately energetic, but will not skip a beat when it comes to a snuggle session on the couch. She shows interest in playing fetch, but she's one of those "you go get the ball and I'll run" when she's playing fetch with other dogs. She likes the water, rolling in the grass, and sniffing around. HB is also an excellent guard dog. Honeybee is super clingy and is perfect for someone that wants a dog around the majority of the time. Once she feels comfortable, her sweet and silly side really starts to shine. She has never been around cats or children under 8. She would love a home where she can get exercise and lots of love. She is already a perfect dog! Her adoption fee includes spay, vaccinations, and microchip.

Story
To apply for adoption, please follow the link to the application: https://forms.gle/9aMxKi7Yc5UEHu6q7 Poor Benny and his brother Kenny have spent their whole short lives growing up in the shelter. We were able to rescue them on their last weekend before euthanasia. Both of these sweet boys deserve forever families that will show them how wonderful life can be. Benny loves to play with other dogs and would do well in a home with another dog. He loves to come check in and give kisses, then its back to play time! He would love an active family who will take him for walks and play ball in the yard. His adoption fee covers neuter, vaccinations, and microchipping. His rescue is based in Boise, but he is available for direct adoption throughout the PNW with transport included at no extra charge.
