Story
We’re looking to rehome our 3.5-year-old female French Bulldog. She’s affectionate, playful, and absolutely wonderful with kids. She loves being around her people, enjoys attention, and has that classic Frenchie personality — fun, expressive, and loyal. She does best as the only dog or in a home with a calm male dog. She should not live with other female dogs. She can also be food-protective around other pets, so a home without other animals (or with a manageable setup) will help her feel relaxed and secure. She’s never shown aggression toward people or children — her challenges are only around competing with other dogs. She would thrive with an owner who wants a companion dog that loves to be included in daily life. She’s young, healthy, and already past the puppy stage, making her easy to settle into a routine. Our goal is to find a loving, stable home where she can be the center of attention and truly thrive. If you think she might be a good fit, we’d love to connect.

Story
MEET ROMEO, a handsome, loyal, protective Black Mouth Cur. Romeo is a handsome 6-year-old male, and he weighs about 74 lbs. (His shelter paperwork says shepherd-boxer mix). Romeo is a gorgeous, handsome dog who loves to walk, hike and be with his person or people. He would be a wonderful companion for someone who loves to hike! He's a great guard dog and can be protective with people he does not know, so would do best in a non-congested area where neighbors aren't a concern. Romeo also has a prey drive, so needs a strong owner. He has done great with other dogs in a home setting. He's incredibly smart, affectionate, and will attach to his person or people. His bond is very strong. He is not a big fan of kids. Romeo is easy to groom, is playful, and loves a good belly rub! He will benefit from walks, hikes, and exercise, and people who understand his breed. Please email for an application.

SHEENA

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, 6 yrs 1 mo
Helena, MT
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
MEET SHEENA, a petite 5-year-old shepherd-mix girl in need of a foster or forever home. She weighs only about 30 lbs. Sheena was rescued from a scary California shelter awhile back. She possibly wouldn't have gotten out, but the shelter gave our rescue the wrong dog, so it was her lucky day! (The other dog got out, too, and has since been adopted.) Sheena is a shy but sweet girl. Once she trusts you, she will be your golden girl. She loves human attention and affection, and giving hugs. Change is a bit hard for her, so she needs someone patient and understanding in the beginning. Sheena would do best in a quiet home with an adult or adults who will love her and give her time to feel secure. Once she bonds, she bonds hard will reward you 100-fold. She gets along well with some dogs but would thrive as the only dog in the home, where she can get all the focus and attention. Sheena is very deserving of a home and is a sweet, affectionate girl. Please email for an application.

Story
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ME, MISTO! I am a young (about a year) husky mix recently rescued from a crowded California shelter. I was terrified there, but after a few days, 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
MEET TENOR & BASS! This happy and loving duo has waited much too long for a home. They are a loving, fun pair of playful dogs who need a foster or forever home! They are very affectionate toward people, and love, love, love each other. They are likely brothers, who found themselves at a crowded California shelter with no adoption interest. Fortunately they were rescued but still haven't found a home yet. They must be adopted together as they are extremely bonded. Both are almost 7 years old. Bass, the brown-and-white pup, weighs only 55 lbs., and Tenor (tan and white) weighs about 60 lbs. They are fun, active pups who love to run, play and snuggle. They would love to be adopted by someone who could take them on hikes, walks and other outings. They currently play with each other for entertainment but it'd be great for them to branch out and see the world. Bass & Tenor love to jump up and give kisses. They are not super friendly with other dogs, so should be the only dogs in the home - but they have plenty of love to give and will be grateful to whomever adopts them. If you can foster or adopt Bass & Tenor, please email for an application.

HOWIE

Rhodesian Ridgeback Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 5 yrs 7 mos
Helena, MT
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
MEET HOWIE! This happy, gentle Rhodesian Ridgeback/pit mix is a loverboy! Howie is 5 years young and has a heart full of love to give. He was rescued from a California shelter in very rough shape - he had major skin issues/hair loss and had clearly been neglected, but now he looks so much better! He's appreciative of love and attention and is a very affectionate boy. He's a big snuggler and will want to share your bed. He loves going for walks and other outings. He is good with some dogs but not others, so would probably thrive as the only dog in the home, or with a submissive female. He's been waiting a long time for his own home, and we're hoping 2025 is his year! Howie currently needs a foster or forever home. He weighs about 55-60 lbs. Please email for an application.
