Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This little guy sure pulled at a lot of hearts when he was looking for a foster. Dumped on the street with his leash, bed and food, when his owner moved for work.  He ended up with a former GPRM foster and from then on things were going to be ok!  This little guy is currently being fostered in Northern Utah where he's been brought up to date on shots and neutered.   Floof loves to be with his people more than anything else.  He is house trained and crate trained, though he doesn’t spend much time in there. His favorite place to be is right next to you! This is a special boy! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 26, 2024, 5:48 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gorgeous Blue, how could this girl be a stray!  Blue has been with her foster now for a long time and has been working hard. She is more than ready for her forever home. She is completely house trained! She LOVES to give hugs and is the best cuddler!!  Blue can play fetch ALL DAY LONG!! She has the softest fur, she's plush like the best stuffed animal ever!! We know she does not like to be alone so this sweet girl would like a family where someone is home most of the time, or another quiet friendly dog to be her companion. Blue is not a fan of small dogs and is selective with big ones so she will need to meet any doggy family she will potentially live with first!  Blue has been working with and is being fostered by Puppies for Patriots in MT   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 26, 2024, 5:48 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Jedi, the brother to Sky and Walker. He's the shy one out of the boys and is being fostered in MT. He's sweet but hasn't learned much that's positive in his short life. He needs some confidence and good experiences and he will get all that in his foster home.  Jedi is great with other dogs and is an absolute love of a boy! He can take some time to warm up to new people so just needs patience and understanding.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 26, 2024, 5:48 pm
