Story
Sweet Fabiola! This girl is happy now, but she has lived a horrible, horrible life up until recently. According to locals, Fabiola lived outside of an abandoned store next to the highway on a border town in South Texas. She had litter after litter, sadly only very few survived due to being close to the road, and getting sick. Fabiola kept a positive attitude and always welcomed other street dogs, as well as people that would come to feed her and her remaining babies. Since moving to foster care Fabiola is LOVING life. She loves her girly harness, going for car rides, and especially loves the kids and other dogs in the home. She loves being the spoiled baby now. Fabiola really enjoys toys as well and gladly shares them with her doggy friends. Spay, microchip, and current vaccines all included in her adoption fee.

Story
Adorable Callie's story broke our hearts. In her previous life she was an ESA for her owner that sadly passed away, and was left to the other adult in the home, who was in a motorcycle accident and passed shortly after. She ended up in a high kill shelter and we swooped her off of the euthanasia list just in time. Now she is on the hunt for her new forever family in the PNW! Callie is great with other dogs, but may do better as an only dog as she can be a bit bossy in her own home with other dogs. She loves pack walks and being involved with other pups. She has been around cats and didn't seem to mind them. She does great with all people big and small! Spay, microchip, and current vaccines all included in her adoption fee.

Story
***NEEDS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME*** Currently in Boise boarding kennels WASABI is a ~2-year-old, 31-lb long-haired, medium-sized pup with gorgeous eyes that is a mix likely of red heeler, kelpie, and shepherd. Because of his new surroundings, WASABI is very anxious and will need time, love and a quiet home to feel comfortable. He is too nervouse for walks right now, but has the potential to be a loyal companion once he feels safe and secure. We can't wait to see the transformation in this pup once he has time to decompress in his new environment ! WASABI will be current on his health vaccines, and will be neutered and microchipped for his forever family.

Story
Meet Flaco! 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 and ready to find their forever families! Flaco is a gorgeous BIG boy with the most striking markings. He is a confident and smart 9 week old, 16 pound puppy. He loves to be outside with his people but also likes to curl up and take a nap. He seems fine with cats and small children. Flaco is coming along well with potty and kennel training, is now used to wearing a harness and will soon start to work with a leash. Flaco is going to be an amazing companion! Spay/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 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
