Story
********************************************************************************************** "An Inside pup who absolutely absolutely LOVES LOVES LOVES being outdoors" ********************************************************************************************** Kobe (better known as Kobert/Koberton), LOVES being outside, LOVES playing fetch, and LOVES mealtime! He also appreciates regular quiet & affection time just as much. Kobert is interested in someone(s) who enjoys being active, and who would also love making him their baby. Kobe however is not perfect, and could be/become perfect for the right person/family. Fetch is Kobe's absolute favorite game! He actually prefers playing with THREE balls instead of just one. Koberton loves being outdoors (with and even without a lot of activity). He is definitely active, however, he can be quiet & laid back with a regular schedule of activity and love. Kobert loves everyone, and values your attention & affection more than anything in the world. Mr Kobe is good with other dogs. He attends doggy daycare regularly, and does best with pups who are at a lower energy level than him. Kobert is looking for people who enjoy being active and who are also balanced enough to include some quiet, hang-out time too. Kobe is still learning how to walk well on a leash, and would most likely enjoy going out on walks, however, he is more than willing to forego walk time, to a good 20 minutes of playing fetch (any time and any day). Kobert is a great dog and companion who is eager to learn and has enjoyed the formal training he has had. He still has room to grow, and has also demonstrated how well and quickly he can progress. Kobe's forever family must have patience & commitment in return for the reward of having him in their life/lives. If you are interested in building a lifetime connection with this boy and making him your baby, please complete the application and see if we have a match! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJubAHJr4oIe4NkDxnhfBPM1jVRO2s4S0xIjrHVlElAMQWJA/viewform **************************************************************** Note: Kobert is located in Houston, TX, and can be transported to your state. The cost of transport is included in the adoption fee.

******* PRAYING FOR AN IMMEDIATE FOSTER OR ADOPTION BEFORE 5/31******* VIDEO LINK BELOW: https://www.vzmessages.com/ol/c17a3c0be4204d0854d1cc22c64b655ddf20a947 Lola is 2-3 years old, and her current family has had her since she was a puppy. She has been an integral part of their family (infants, kids, another pup and a kitty), and has been (and is) a wonderful delight. Miss Lola is an inside pup, and loves running around in her backyard. She normally stays at home, and has limited experience on a leash. However, per our test run for a leashed walk in the backyard, we imagine she would do just fine on the leash, and that given the opportunity she would be very happy and excited to go out on regular walks. Lola is crate-trained, house-trained, and past the destructive stage. This girl will bark in case you did not hear the doorbell, or if she hears something suspicious in the middle of the night. However, she is quick to respond when told to stop. She is a bit shy at first, yet warms up quickly. She is undoubtably a great pup, and again, is kid/infant/dog & cat-friendly. Unfortunately though, the family is facing hardship, and is unable to take their dogs as they attempt to move forward. The family is unable to hold onto Lola past MAY 31. CAN YOU FOSTER OR ADOPT THIS FABULOUS FAMILY DOG? We have met this girl, and there is absolutely no reason for a great pup like this to be sent to the shelter to be euthanized. We can save her, and can only do it with the help of someone with a kind & generous heart. If she touches, moves or inspires you in any way, please reach out to us with an application or email as outlined below (ASAP): LINK TO VIDEO: https://www.vzmessages.com/ol/c17a3c0be4204d0854d1cc22c64b655ddf20a947 FOSTER APPLICATION: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qyNxxmixBVx5uxDJgjYAW6YrKuihOsv83-4o-5d28d8/edit ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJubAHJr4oIe4NkDxnhfBPM1jVRO2s4S0xIjrHVlElAMQWJA/viewform EMAIL: Or you can email us at FurEverAfterLegacy@gmail.com for further conversation. ********************************************************** LOLA is currently in Houston, TX, and the adoption fee includes transport to your state.

Murphy will be attending one of our adoption events coming up this weekend! To learn more about our upcoming events and to see which event they will be attending, please visit our event page at https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/ (*please note that the specific event pages are typically updated on Fridays with information on which dogs will be attending which events*) To learn more about Murphy, please get in touch with his foster family at cthiel61@aol.com Meet Murphy, the lovable, energetic pup looking for his forever home! Murphy's true talent lies in showering his human with affection. He will do best in a single dog household with an experienced owner who understands he is high energy. Murphy is house-trained, loves car rides and walks (the longer, the better!), and has mastered the art of cuddling. Though he may want to chase after squirrels, a harness and a tight grip on the leash will keep him safe. Murphy's tail wags joyfully when meeting new people and children, and he's a pro at mealtime manners. Are you ready to bring home this bundle of energy and endless love? Murphy is waiting to meet you!

Story
If you are interested in adopting Jasper, please contact dogfosters@icloud.com Jasper is a sweet 14-year-old Chihuahua mix who loves life, family, food, and walks. His fitness level is legendary; Jasper would love an active family who takes long walks. He can cover many miles quickly and with a loose leash. He is happy to walk wherever you want, and under all conditions (rain, fireworks, snow, wind ... he would enjoy it all). Inside the house, he manages the stairs quite well. Overall, he is a physical rockstar; he is in better shape than most dogs half his age. Jasper is polite but knows what he wants -- the point of being a loving goofball sometimes. He enjoys his favorite relaxing spot but will seek you out for some scratches behind his ears and to lick your hand in return. When he is tired at night, he will go upstairs at a reasonable hour and climbs onto his dog bed. Jasper is a polite, loving, loyal companion who would be an amazing best friend. Will you be his forever family?

Story
If you are interested in Buster, please contact dogfosters@icloud.com. Meet Buster, the goodest and goofiest boy. He is a strong boy with a heart of gold and a zest for life. He loves walks and rubbing his back on the grass, and it is hard not to smile at Buster's pure joy. He also enjoys being with humans, playing with toys, and lounging on the sofa ... really, he loves life and is happy to be your companion in life's many adventures. Buster takes treats gently, gets into and exits the car politely, is an excellent car passenger, and thinks body scratches and pets are fantastic. He does not bark much, if at all. And have you seen his pictures? He is such a handsome boy! He has a team of volunteers who adore him and think Buster will make a lucky family very happy. While Buster does not react to other dogs while on walks, he would prefer to be your one and only. Since Buster has muscles that we all wish we could have, his forever family needs to be able to handle a strong dog. In return, the family will get a gem of a soul guaranteed to bring love and joy.

If you are interested in Aster Lee please contact camille.level@lostdogrescue.org and laurenkim90@gmail.com Meet Aster Lee! A girl with a big smile and an even bigger heart. Aster is a sweetheart who has been stealing the heart of all the people she meets. Her love and excitement for life are contagious. She always brightens up the day of her human friends with her joyful and enthusiastic personality! Aster is extremely loyal and loves being close with her people. She shows her affection by leaning into you and giving you a huge smile. It's nearly impossible not to smile back! She is adventurous and enjoys hiking and going on walks, but equally enjoys cuddling on the couch. She enjoys playing with rope toys and having the zoomies in the yard, but her favorite activity is playing in the water. Whether it's the beach, a creek, or a doggy pool, Aster is the first one to dive right in! From her time in homes on Dogventures, Aster Lee is reported to be fully house trained, and will even go to the door to let you know she has to go outside. She's a smart girl who knows a few basic commands, like sit, paw, down, place, stay, and she is always eager to learn more! Aster also loves other dogs. One of her favorite times of the day is when she gets to see her dog friends during the daily playgroup sessions she enjoys in the yard of the rescue care center. She's a social butterfly and makes friends with every dog she meets! Aster Lee is seeking an experienced and loving family. She is very excited to find the forever family that she can shower with love!
