Story
A Letter From Niko: My Next Chapter 🐾I’m Niko, a 16-lb, 11-12 yr old Mini Poodle mix. Don't let my age fool you! I often have a youthful pup's energy. I love walks, yards, playing fetch, and sunbeams! I’m a loyal, smart, non-shedding mama's boy who loves couch cuddles, belly rubs, and big kisses. I’m house-trained, neutered, microchipped, vetted, and never chew furniture when left alone.I need a new home because my family has 2 loud, active toddlers. The noise makes me shake and anxiously lick my paws. After a toddler threw a book at me, I let out a reactive nip. My family loves me too much to keep me stressed; I need a peaceful home to enjoy my retirement.My dream home is no babies/toddlers, and me as the only pet. I chase cats and think I’m bigger than 16 lbs (I bark at big dogs!). I once lived with a calm, senior female dog, but I prefer to be your one-and-only!My family is in no rush; finding the absolute perfect match for me is their top priority.Your Future Sidekick, 🐾 Niko 🐾

Story
Meet Astro! 🚀 If your idea of a perfect day involves hiking trails, tossing toys, learning new tricks, and having a loyal sidekick by your side, Astro might just be your guy. Astro is a 1.5-year-old Border Collie mix with a big heart, a sharp mind, and enough enthusiasm to make every day an adventure. He loves toys, loves treats, and absolutely loves spending time with his people. Whether you’re teaching him a new cue or playing fetch in the backyard, Astro is happiest when he’s part of the action. Like many clever young herding dogs, Astro is still polishing his manners, but he’s an incredibly quick learner and eager to work for both food and praise. He can sometimes be a little unsure of new things and may bark to let you know he’s noticed something suspicious. **Give him a chance to investigate, though, and he quickly realizes the world isn’t so scary after all.** Astro is looking for an active home—ideally with herding breed experience—that will keep both his body and his brain busy. In return, you’ll get a sweet, affectionate companion who is ready to be your adventure buddy and training partner. Astro is: 🐾 Good with other dogs 🐾 Good with dog-savvy cats 🐾 Good with kids (older kids recommended because his excitement can accidentally knock over little ones) 🐾 Friendly with people 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Neutered 🐾 Up to date on vaccines Astro isn’t looking for a couch potato lifestyle—he’s looking for a teammate. If you’re ready for a smart, fun-loving dog who will keep you smiling and always be up for the next adventure, Astro is ready to launch into his forever home. Astro's adoption fee is $350 and includes neuter, vaccinations and microchip. If interested in meeting Astro please complete an application located here: https://idawg.org/application

Story
Taz is ready to start looking for a family/person to call his own! Taz is a pint size fella at 13lbs. He is approximately 2-3 years old. He is potty trained and crate trained. Taz is a resilient little guy who doesn't let his past hold him back. He has an old, fully healed fracture in his back right leg. While it means one leg is a bit shorter than the other—giving him a little "tilt" when he walks—an orthopedic surgeon has given him a glowing review and confirmed he needs no treatment or interventions. He easily goes up and down steps to get into the house and the back yard. Taz is learning that the world is a pretty great place! He can be a little unsure of strangers at first—sometimes he’ll give a protective bark or growl, and other times he’s totally unfazed. But his brave side is truly shining through lately; he’s been willingly walking up to new people to ask for pets and give sweet little licks. With dogs, Taz likes to make sure the vibe is right. For the first day or two, he might act like he's the boss of the house. But don't let the tough-guy act fool you! After a couple of days, the walls come down, and all he wants to do is curl up and cuddle with his canine friends. With cats, Taz is great. For the most part, he completely ignores them, making him an easy addition to a feline home. Taz would thrive in a patient, loving home that understands he just needs time to adjust to new situations and people. Once he knows he’s safe, his loyal, affectionate nature takes over. He would make a great companion for a retiree or someone that doesn't want a dog to go hiking etc. It is good for Taz to go on walks and keep his joints moving. Also a home without young children. Someone who likes to take their dog on car rides with them with occassional pup cup is a plus.

Story
Meet Ellie, a gorgeous 3-year-old Boxer with a heart of gold and the ultimate "wiggle butt" greeting! This sweet girl is a friend to everyone she meets, including men, women, and children alike. Ellie is fantastic with other dogs and would love a furry sibling to play with or join on tandem walks. She is also a dream in the car—she happily jumps right into the back seat and rides perfectly quietly, making her the best co-pilot for road trips. Ellie’s Ideal Home A Quiet Pace: Because loud noises and busy streets can be a little scary for her, Ellie prefers peaceful neighborhood walks or trips to the park away from heavy traffic. She truly thrives on a predictable routine. Room to Zoom: Ellie is a classic Boxer with a fun-loving spirit! She would absolutely love a home with a fenced yard where she can let loose and burn off her signature zoomies. Though she arrived at the rescue a bit skinny, Ellie has a fantastic appetite and is happily putting on weight and getting healthier every day. Her favorite thing in the world is showing her people how much she loves them. Whether you've been gone for the workday or just stepped out for five minutes, Ellie will greet you with pure, enthusiastic joy. If you are looking for a loyal, affectionate, and sweet companion to complete your family, Ellie is ready to wiggle her way right into your heart! Ellie is located in Boise. No out of state adoptions.

Story
Are you looking for a "perfectly sized" companion with a heart of gold? Meet Zippy, a 2-year-old Shepherd mix who clocks in at an ideal 48 lbs. He’s the ultimate blend of active adventurer and world-class lounge act. Zippy is a gentle soul who hasn't met a stranger he didn't like. Whether he's tossing a tennis ball in the air to catch it himself or snoozing at your feet, he just wants to be part of the "pack." He thrives with other dogs! In his foster home, he spends his days roughhousing with his fur-brother. He is a total gentleman in the car and is always ready for a drive-thru Pup Cup. He walks beautifully on a leash and loves exploring the neighborhood. Zippy adores children and would be a patient, loving addition to a family with kids. He is fully crate trained and will greet you with the most adorable "woo-woo" barks and wiggles when you get home! If you leave him in the crate for long periods of time he will sometimes cry. Zippy would love a family that appreciates both his playful side and his chill mode. Another dog in the home would be great but he would also be content just having dog friends. He would be a great fit with someone that works from home, a retired couple or a young family.

Story
My Girlfriend’s friend had a nasty breakup and couldn’t take care of their dog anymore, before that she was on the streets, we couldn’t let her just go back to being a stray so we took her in but we just simply don’t have the resources to take care of her, she is the sweetest dog and we wish we could keep her given different circumstances, she just needs someone to get used to and once she’s there she will just bloom, she has a small fear of men but as seen with myself she gets over it once comfortable, really she just needs a stable home and she’ll thrive.
