Story
Meet Boujor (pronounced BOO-JOOR) it means “small” in Armenian language but she’s a pretty big dog. She is 8 years old. She’s the kind of dog who’s happiest just being by your side. She’s vocal, goofy, and sweet, and looking for a loving home to give her love back too.With 2 young children at home and a very small backyard due to our new home purchase, we can no longer give her the life she deserves. We are looking for someone who can give her the care, love, and attention she deserves.

Story
🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED FOR MINNIE 🚨 or better yet, her forever home! Minnie is waiting for one wonderful person to look beyond her color, her breed, and her age—and see the beautiful soul she truly is. At 10 years old, Minnie should be spending her days curled up in a comfortable home, surrounded by love. Instead, this sweet senior girl urgently needs a foster home. Minnie is silly, affectionate, potty trained, and absolutely delightful. She loves crinkle toys, enthusiastically demolishing stuffed animals, and watching squirrels as though it’s the greatest show on earth. She’ll happily accept almost any treat—just don’t offer her an apple. She has standards. 🍎🚫 Minnie needs to be the only pet in her foster home, where she can finally relax and receive all the love for herself. She is also managing a grade 5 heart murmur and some skin issues, but none of that has dimmed her joyful spirit or her heart of pure gold. Black dogs and bully-type breeds are so often overlooked. Minnie deserves to be seen for who she is: a goofy, gentle, loving senior who still has so much companionship to give. Please help us find the person who will look into Minnie’s eyes and say, “You matter. You can come home with me.”

Story
Meet beautiful HADDIE! ✨ At approximately one year old, HADDIE is a truly stunning girl with her whole life ahead of her. She’s sweet, affectionate, full of puppy enthusiasm, and ready to be guided into the perfect lifetime companion. HADDIE is still learning basic commands, boundaries, and safe manners, so she needs a confident, consistent person who will give her the structure she needs to shine. After breaking her leg when she jumped from a vehicle shortly after entering rescue, keeping this adventurous girl safe while she learns is especially important. With continued training, plenty of appropriate activity, and lots of love, HADDIE has everything it takes to become an incredible dog. She’s looking for an active family who sees just how beautiful and special she is—and is excited to help shape all that puppy potential into a loyal, well-mannered best friend for life. 💛

Story
💚 CANYON IS SEEKING A HOSPICE HOME 💚 Hey, everyone—it’s me, Canyon. I’m doing well and staying in a very temporary foster home so I don’t have to return to boarding. I’m incredibly grateful, but what I really need is a permanent fospice home where I can spend the rest of my days feeling safe, comfortable, and deeply loved. I’m a sweet senior gentleman with hospice needs, and I must be the only dog in the home. My fospice family will also need to live in or near the Boise area so I can remain close to Green Heart Rescue’s trusted veterinary team. Fospice means that you provide the home, companionship, and love, while Green Heart Rescue covers my approved veterinary care and nutritional needs. I may be in the final chapter of my life, but that doesn’t mean my story is over. I still have so much love to give—and I deserve to spend whatever time I have left with someone who will cherish me. Could you be my safe place?

Story
Consider opening your heart and home to this AMAZING guy. Benji is the sweetest, most adorable, goofy black pittie. He is approximately 4 years old, a 67ish-pound pit bull who was saved from a high-kill shelter in California just in the nick of time! Benji absolutely loves people, is easy to get along with and very well-mannered. He is house and crate trained and would thrive in a home with no other animals. Benji LOVES to play fetch, go on short walks, enjoys toys of all kinds, and LOVES to cuddle. He has such an amazing personality that after spending some time with him you cannot help but fall in love. Benji would love a family to give him a warm loving home where he can enjoy play time and cuddles with his humans or one amazing human to call his. Benji is currently loving life in a foster home while he waits for his forever home. When Benji was at the shelter, he had surgery for a necrotic femoral head and has since recovered. Although he is younger, Benji will need to remain on a pain management plan for his arthritis, which has been well-managed with carprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Benji does not let anything slow him down! Just meet this beautiful boy and his love and personality will win you over! Can you open your heart and home to this handsome man?
