Story
*Becky cannot go home until after she's been spayed. She is not scheduled for her spay surgery yet, but she can still have visitors and accept applications while we wait. Becky does require scheduled appointments, so please call us at (208) 883-1166 if you would like to meet her* Meet Becky! This pretty girl is estimated to be around 2 years old. She arrived at HSoP as a stray and was unfortunately never claimed by an owner. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that Becky was visibly stressed by her situation. She barked, jumped, growled and barred her teeth. Even a brief second of eye contact would get her started and keep her going for several minutes at a time. As her stay continued at the shelter, Becky slowly started to become comfortable with our staff. It took a long time for her to trust each of us. Her behavior inside the kennels had us nervous, but she truly behaves like an entirely different dog when she's outside the kennels. Inside the dog kennels, Becky seems very unhappy. She barks and lunges toward the corner of her kennel trying to reach the neighboring dogs, and will bark directly at you if you stare at her (which we politely ask that you don't do!). We believe that the barrier of the chain link is causing frustration in Becky. She tends to get hyper fixated on things, for better or for worse, and it seems that in the kennels, she becomes hyper-fixated on getting out of the kennel. Becky has done well with being introduced to new people while on a walk. In fact, Becky thrives on walks in general! That hyper-fixation comes into play in a good way on walks - Becky is much more interested in the new sights and smells on the ground than she is with any people or other dogs. When becky does notice that a new friend is around, she will work her way over to smell you and rub against your legs. Eventually, becky will even ask you to give her some pets. She really comes around quickly! One thing about Becky is that she's incredibly smart. Already knowing how to sit and shake paws on command, this border collie mix is eager to please and ready to learn. Treats work as great motivation for Becky, and so do tennis balls! Becky has shown a huge love of fetch, and she's quite good at it too. If you ever need to redirect her attention, just toss a tennis ball and she'll have something new to focus on! Like we mentioned above, Becky has displayed barrier reactivity at the shelter. This includes her starting "fence fights" with several of our other dogs when they pass by, but we cannot say that Becky is necessarily dog aggressive. We don't know how she would do in a home with other pets, but we do require all dogs to met any canines in the home prior to leaving HSoP. If they're introduced properly, there's a likelihood that Becky could get along with another dog. Every adoption comes with a seven-day foster period, which helps to ensure a good fit for all. members of the family. An approved application is required before allowing Becky to meet the other dog(s) in the home. Since Becky requires a more specialized introduction, it is strongly preferred that she only have scheduled appointments. This is due to the staffing required to properly introduce her while still maintaining shelter operations. If you're interested in meeting Becky, please call us at (208) 883-1166 to schedule an appointment. Becky will be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped with her new owner's information by the time she goes home. Her adoption fee is $135.

Story
Meet Sting! This handsome pup was briefly adopted from HSoP, but didn't get along with the other dog in the home. Now he's available for adoption and looking for a new home to spend his days! We estimate Sting to be around 1 year old. Since Sting did not get along with the dog in his previous home, we're recommending he go to a home with no other dogs at this time. We don't know how Sting does around cats, but it's very likely he would try to chase them. Sting earned his named from the stingray-shaped marking on his back. It's pretty distinct! Sting is nervous about the other dogs in our care, but has grown worlds more comfortable with our staff. He absolutely lights up when he gets to have one-on-one play time away from the noise of the dog kennels! Watching him get the zoomies is such a treat. Sting loves volunteers and makes new friends within just a few seconds! He's an incredibly athletic dog and has the energy to go for miles. Sting can run, jump, he could probably even climb if given the chance! We think he could make an excellent companion for outdoor adventures. Being the energetic muscle-head he is, Sting will require daily walks or access to a secure outdoor area to ensure his exercise needs are being met each day. He could also benefit from mentally-engaging activities, like kongs, slow feeders, frozen treats, and snuffle mats. One thing that sting will need help with is potty training. This is something that is much easier to learn in a home environment, with consistent reminders and opportunities to go potty outside. Sting will sit on command for treats and absolutely loves being told how good of a boy he is when he listens! He would likely respond well to continued training in his new home, as it would give him something positive to focus on. Sting is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and will leave HSoP with a microchip containing his new owner's information. Those interested in Sting should come visit him at HSoP! Our dog kennels are open from 1:00-5:00pm Monday through Saturday with no appointments needed. Sting's adoption fee is $135.

Story
We took Bailey into our home 6 months ago. Her former owner needed to find a place for her ASAP due to her not getting along with his male dog. She came to us at 10 months of age and had never seen a vet. Because we have 2 other dogs, we decided to take her in long enough to have her vaccinated and spayed. Unfortunately, we learned she was pregnant. We kept her and allowed her to have her pups and found them good homes. Unfortunately, she started fighting with our male dog and bit him. She also has a very high prey drive and cannot be around cats. She gets along well with our female dog and LOVES people. She has lived with small children and did well with them. She walks well on a leash but is aggressive towards dogs while on walks. She is house trained, crate trained. She is not loud and rarely barks or brays unless she sees another dog. She is super sweet and calm with all people. We are very sad to have to give her up.

Story
Miss Gordita is the sweetest little pit bull/boxer mix that you will meet! She is very loving and playful and always wants to be the center of attention! She loves to spend time outside, sniffing in the yard and finding herself good little tokens to take home. She once caught herself a little mushroom, but after a mild moment of despair and panic the staff discovered this to be a safe edible mushroom. Gordita was none the wiser to why everyone was so hurriedly watching a mushroom identification video. To her the world is a wonderful place filled with many new snacks to snacks upon. She knows her basic commands, and is very food motivated so she is very trainable. She definitely has us trained as well though, as she puts on the best puppy dog face! Gordita arrived with some leash issues, specifically related to walking past other dogs. This has been well corrected in her time here at the shelter with positive reinforcement! She is a very devoted girl and has been patiently waiting here at the shelter for the right person to come along! During her stay at the shelter, staff noticed that Gordita had some on and off GI upset and Gordita did end up going to the vet for surgery. Veterinarians said that Gordita has some tummy problems that are likely genetic, so now Gordita is on an easy to digest diet that keeps her comfortable. She is a tummy ache survivor!! We are not sure why Gordita is still in shelter a year after her intake. We believe her to be a wonderful dog deserving of a real home with a real family, and we hope you may be that person! If you are interested in meeting Gordita, please apply on our website in order to indicate your interest. We will be in touch via email to schedule your appointment!Gordita is spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Gordita`s adoption fee is waived, as she has kindly been sponsored by her dedicated fan club.

Story
Zapatos was found roaming near WSU and was brought to the shelter by a kind and caring citizen. Since arriving, this sweet boy has really come out of his shell and shown just how affectionate he can be.

He also knows his basic commands really well, and he`s potty trained but with moving to a new environment there will most likely be some accidents. If you`re interested looking for a fun, loyal companion with a big heart, please fill out our adoption application on our website! Zapatos`s adoption fee is $175. He is up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped.
