Story
Looking for an active home! If you’re looking for a pint-sized powerhouse of brains, speed, and heart — Sprite might just be your dream adventure buddy! Approximately 10 months old and 25 pounds. Sprite is a smol but mighty mix of Border Collie and ACD (confirmed by Embark), and she embodies the best of both worlds: athletic, intelligent, and endlessly curious. At just 8 months old, she’s already fast, agile, and loves to climb, explore, and zoom through life with a big grin. She’s a toy chaser extraordinaire who hasn’t quite mastered fetch or tug yet, but she’s eager to learn — especially if snacks are involved! Sprite is highly food motivated, quick to pick up new skills, and thrives with regular exercise and mental challenges. She’s crate trained, potty trained, and travels like a pro, though she’s still polishing her indoor manners. Sprite has great recall on the trail, loves hiking, and yes — she swims (see video)! She adores people and other dogs, though her play style leans toward the rowdy side. She reads other dogs well, but she’ll need continued guidance for polite greetings and managing her barrier reactivity. Because of her high herding drive and enthusiasm, she’s best suited for homes without young kids or cats (chasing is her favorite sport). Sprite’s ideal home is one that embraces her drive and intelligence — agility, scent work, herding, dock diving… this girl could shine in it all! If you’re ready to channel all that sparkle into fun, adventure, and teamwork, Sprite will be your most loyal (and speedy!) partner. Sprite's adoption fee is $350 and includes spay, vaccines and microchip. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Sprite, please complete an adoption application located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Story
Meet Felix! Looking for an active home. Felix is a 3-year-old, 40 pound Border Collie mix who loves to stay active and engaged with his people. His favorite game is fetch, and he’s great at it — he brings the toy back and drops it for you, ready to keep playing. If you’re looking for a dog who truly enjoys interactive play, Felix will happily be your partner. He’s very smart and highly food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding. He enjoys learning new skills and would do well in a home that can provide regular mental and physical exercise. He would also be a great match for someone interested in dog sports like frisbee, agility, and trick training. Felix is mostly neutral around other dogs and tends to ignore them in favor of focusing on his person and his toys. Felix can be a little reserved when meeting new people, but he warms up quickly when play is involved. He would be best in a home with children 12+ who can respect his space and enjoy his active play style. Felix currently lives with cats in his foster home, but he does like to chase if given the opportunity. As such, he would not do well in a home with skittish cats, but with continued training and management could do well with confident, dog-savvy cats who stand their ground. Felix is crate trained and house trained and is looking for an adopter who wants an engaged, playful companion and enjoys spending time training, playing, and building a strong bond with their dog. Felix's adoption fee is $350 and includes neuter, vaccines and microchip. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Felix, please complete an adoption application located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Story
HI - I'M MISTO! I am a young (about a year and a half old) husky-shepherd mix (maybe with some Australian Cattle Dog thrown in) rescued from a crowded California shelter. I was terrified there -- I mean really scared. I wouldn't even come up to greet people. But after a few days out of there, my sunshine personality came out! I'm a loving, dog-friendly boy who would do well with another dog in the home, or as an only dog, too. I love to play and am happy! Change is a bit scary for me so I would do well with both a patient and active person, who could take me for walks, hikes and other outings. I have the most beautiful blue eyes, and I weigh about 50 lbs. Please email for an application! I currently need a foster or forever home.

Story
HI - I'M CLYDE, and if you're looking for a big, loyal friend, that's me. I am a studly 4-year-old brindle Pit Bull Terrier with a huge head in need of a home. Despite my imposing look, I am a sweetheart in disguise once I'm in your inner circle. I especially love men - and I bond quickly and intensely to my person. I'd make a great, loyal companion. I'd do great with a single guy experienced with pits who wants to bond. Despite my look, I am very timid around other dogs. So what's my story? Well, I was dumped by my people -- and taken in by a rescue group so I wouldn't end up in the shelter system. I really would love a home where I'm loved and cherished and given all the affection I deserve. I will reward you 100-fold! I need an experienced owner only because I'm shy in the beginning, and I bond so strongly with my person. I also need a foster home if you aren't ready to adopt. Can you foster or adopt me? I weigh about 70 lbs. I'm currently in California, but can be transported to Idaho soon.

Story
HI - I'M SHIRLEY, and I'm a very special girl. I was clearly loved by someone once because I'm pretty chubby - I weigh about 93 pounds! I was impounded at a scary California shelter and while there, I rested patiently, just waiting for someone to notice me. I'm a 7-year-old Lab-Pit mix, so I figured it may take awhile, and sure enough I ended up being the shelter's longest resident. They kept me around for months because I am such a great, easygoing girl. I'm very quiet, mellow and I love human attention and affection. I'd make a great movie-watching buddy or snuggler. I truly need a foster or forever home as right now I don't have one. If you can open your home and heart to be, I would be so grateful. I'm currently in Southern California, but can be transported to Idaho. Please email for an application.
