Story
Located in: Boise, ID Breed: Pug Mix Age: 6 Adoption fee: $35.00 + $17.99 microchip registration fee This handsome gentleman goes by many names. Stumpy, AKA Sir Stumpington, Mister Sir, The Stumpmiester, Stump, Bubba Dub, Lord of the Underbite and many other absurd nicknames. This charming lad doesn’t care what he’s called, only that you’re talking to him. Stumpy is a sweet boy with a delightful underbite and so much spunk. He is about 6 years old, with a nice blend of chaotic playful energy and a love of lounging and naps. He is the king of zoomies, loves to carry his food bowl around, and is notorious for stealing blankets off of chairs to add to his dragon hoard (his bed nest). Despite all of his charisma, Stumpy is in need of a very special adopter who is patient, caring and willing to keep working through his quirks. Unfortunately, Stumpy has some major beef with his butt. It may be neurological, behavioral, or trauma related, but Stumpy seems to not realize that his tail and butt are indeed part of his body. This leads him to squabble with his own booty on a fairly regular basis. He has been treated medically and there is no physical medical concern to his body that is leading to this behavior. He takes daily medication to help with stress related to this issue. As funny as it may seem, it has left some serious consequences for him. He traumatically injured his own tail leading to an emergency amputation. Things that are normally relaxing and fun for dogs like: eating, kongs, and any food related enrichment, are quite stressful for him. He will resource guard any food related fun from his own back end. He does best when eating with a soft cone on that blocks the view of his behind. He does better if you watch him eat as you can verbally tell him to snap out of it and he also feels safer with you watching his back. Stump was found as a stray and very little is known about his past. He was unaltered and was not potty trained upon arrival to Fuzzy Pawz and it is suspected based on his thick coat, state of his feet and marking behavior that he was an outdoor dog. He has made great strides in potty training and as long as you let him out at regular intervals, he tends to stay accident free. He may need some continued assistance with potty training when transitioning to a new environment. Sir Stumpington is currently in foster with both cats and dogs and has done well with both. He does need a structured introduction to new dogs but quickly warms up. He has done great with living with multiple dogs but is not a dog recommended to visit dog parts or off leash dog areas as he quickly can become overwhelmed. He has done well with backyard chickens and ducks. He would do best in an adult-only home. Despite all his quirks, this little guy makes up for it with his hilarious personality. He is incredibly smart, easy to train, and eager to learn more tricks and commands.

Story
Boss may like to act like he’s in charge, but underneath that tough-guy charm is a total sweetheart. Though he’s missing one eye and doesn’t hear very well, that doesn’t slow him down one bit! He’s still very mobile, easily using a doggy door to go in and out as he pleases. Boss loves a good pet, and the moment you give him one, he’ll roll right over for endless belly rubs. He enjoys wandering outside, rolling in the grass, and soaking up the sunshine. Boss is house trained and would need a considerate person to help train him. He’s also great in the car and gets along wonderfully with all the other dogs in his home. If you’re looking for a lovable companion with a little bit of spunk, Boss is ready to win your heart! Foster Location: Boise ID Age: 10ish Breed: Boston/Pug (maybe) Neutered, Vaccinated, microchipped Adoption fee: $50 + microchip registration fee DO NOT email us, you must fill out an application if interested: Adoption Application: https://fuzzypawzrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application-2/

Story
Meet Max 7 Years Old Lab Mixed with Large Breed 90 lbs Fostered in Boise Max is a 7-year-old Lab mix with the soul of a couch potato and the heart of a gentle giant. At around 90 pounds, Max is a big boy, not overweight just built large, possibly with a larger breed like a Great Dane in his family tree. Originally from a shelter in Fort Worth, Texas, Max made the journey to Idaho for a second chance at finding his forever home. He’s already overcome a lot, including successful treatment for heartworm, and is now fully cleared, healthy, and ready for adoption. Max is incredibly sweet and deeply people-oriented. He lights up when his humans come home, leaning in for snuggles and occasionally attempting a very sneaky (and slightly rude) ear lick when he gets the chance. His favorite place in the world is the couch, where he spends most of his day relaxing and soaking up companionship. While Max does have an old knee injury, he remains active and enjoys daily walks. He would benefit from continuing pain management, such as carprofen, to keep him comfortable and moving well, something he’s done great with. Max is dog-friendly in the sense that he coexists beautifully with other dogs, but he’s not looking for a canine best friend. He prefers to mind his own business and do his own thing. If you’re hoping for a dog who will play nonstop with your current pup, Max may not be the right match, but if your dog would enjoy a calm, respectful companion, Max fits that role perfectly. He is currently fostered with cats and is indifferent to them. He does show some extra interest in chickens, but redirects well with verbal guidance. Max would thrive in a home that appreciates a mellow, loving presence, a dog who doesn’t ask for much beyond a comfy couch, daily strolls, and people to love. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-drama companion with excellent couch manners and a soft heart, Max might just be your perfect match Max is being cross posted with Fuzzy Pawz Rescue and Pug Pals Rescue for additional exposure to help with his adoption.

Story
Available in TX only! Beasley is an incredibly charming and easygoing dog! His affectionate nature, love for his foster family, and fondness for other dogs make him an ideal companion for an active and loving household. His preference for the outdoors and his independent yet sweet demeanor make him a unique and delightful pet. Beasley's love for giving hugs and his special bond he develops with any dog in his family is heartwarming. His laid-back attitude and preference for relaxed activities, like lounging in the sun or playing with his toys, make him a perfect fit for families or individuals who enjoy a more relaxed pace of life. Potential adopters for Beasley should consider his love for outdoor activities and ensure they can provide him with regular walks, playtime, and maybe even some pool time on hot days. It's also great that Beasley gets along with other dogs, although a meet-and-greet with any potential furry siblings would be a good idea to ensure compatibility. Beasley is new to being in a home and, like many rescue dogs, he might need some time to acclimate to his new surroundings. A patient adopter who is willing to work with him, provide gentle guidance, and shower him with love and understanding will be perfect for him. Patience and a calm approach will go a long way in helping Beasley build trust and feel secure in his new home. With the right environment and a caring adopter, Beasley is sure to blossom into an even more confident and loving companion. Beasley's desire for an even-matched pal and a comfortable bed highlights his simple yet meaningful needs. With his sweet demeanor and love for cuddles, Beasley is sure to bring endless joy and warmth to his forever family. Beasley is neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, & on preventatives.

Story
Meet Clover – A Gentle Soul with a Forever-Wagging Tail Clover is one of those dogs who quietly steals your heart. With her soft ears, soulful eyes, and tail that never seems to stop wagging, she radiates sweetness and gratitude. Clover doesn’t ask for much—just to be close to her person, feel safe, and be loved. Clover is currently being fostered in a loving home in Seguin, Texas, where she is thriving in her own gentle way. She shares her days with her best friend, a 25 lb Corgi, and the two enjoy calm play, companionship, and cozy moments together. Clover has a naturally submissive, easygoing personality and showed no concern around larger dogs at the shelter. While she hasn’t yet been introduced to kids or cats, her tender spirit suggests she would do best in a calm, loving environment. She is crate-trained and house-trained, rides beautifully in the car, and walks nicely on a leash. Clover isn’t a dog who needs constant activity—she simply wants to be near you. Whether she’s curled up on her dog bed, resting on the couch beside her foster mom, or quietly following you from room to room, Clover’s happiest place is wherever her person is. Clover does have special medical needs that make her story even more meaningful. She has Megaesophagus, which is well managed with a simple feeding routine using frozen, meatball-shaped meals. She also has torn ACLs in both back legs, which are inoperable due to her other medical condition. Because of this, Clover needs a home that can offer a calm, low-impact lifestyle and understand her mobility limitations. Despite everything, Clover remains gentle, loving, and content—asking only for soft beds, routine, and affection. Clover can be a little shy around men at first, but with patience and kind words, she blossoms into a devoted companion. Due to her medical needs, transport would be too difficult for her, so Clover is available for adoption in Texas only. Clover is searching for a special forever home—one that sees past her challenges and straight into her heart. In return, she will offer quiet loyalty, endless love, and a tail that never stops wagging for the family who chooses her. To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.
