Story

🩵 This adorable girl is almost 5 months old and has everything you could want in a puppy—she’s smart, silly, affectionate, playful, and absolutely bursting with personality! Ricotta is doing amazing in her foster home. She sleeps through the night in her kennel, keeps it clean, and is nearly finished with potty training. When she needs to go, she’ll bark or make a run for the door. Smart girl! 👏 She’s done wonderfully with other dogs and cats and loves being around her people. Ricotta is always ready for an adventure, especially if it involves a car ride, but she’s equally happy collecting belly rubs and her all-time favorite… butt scratches! 😂 🐾 Almost 5 months old 🩵 Kennel trained 🏠 Nearly potty trained 🐶 Dog friendly 🐱 Cat friendly 🚗 Loves car rides 🧠 Super smart & eager to learn 😂 Certified goofball Ricotta’s DNA testing showed a mix of several breeds, including Akita and Chow Chow. Because we want to set her up for lifelong success, she does have some specific adoption requirements. 🏡 Requirements due to Akita/Chow breed: • Securely fenced yard • Mandatory training — $400 group course with additional in-home sessions included • Homes with same-sex resident dogs may not be approved • Homeowner’s/renter’s insurance must be notified • No young children; older, respectful, dog-savvy children may be considered Ricotta has the brains, the personality, and SO much love to give. She’s growing up in foster care, and we would love to see her find her forever family. 🥹🩵 📍 Appleton, WI ❤️ Apply at thehopehighway.org

Story

🐾 Meet Curro… or as her foster mom calls her, Churro! 🤎 Foster Mom added an “H” because she says this little girl deserves a name as sweet as her personality — and Churro is about as sweet as they come! At just 3 months old and 12 pounds, Churro is already one smart little cookie. 🍪 She’s doing wonderfully with potty training and has learned sit, stay, down, and come. She walks nicely on a leash and loves getting out to explore. 🌟 A few things to know about Churro: 🐾 3 months old | 12 lbs 🚽 Doing great with potty training 🧠 Knows sit, stay, down & come 🦮 Walks nicely on a leash 🛏️ Kennels wonderfully — she’ll even put herself to bed! 🐶 Plays with her two 75-lb foster sisters 🥰 Professional snuggler Churro started out as a very timid little girl, but she has made amazing progress. With patience and slow introductions, she’s learning that people, dogs, car rides, and new adventures aren’t so scary after all. Food and treats are definitely her love language! She’s still learning that she doesn’t have to worry about sharing her meals, so for now she does best being fed separately in her kennel away from other dogs. At night, Churro settles nicely in her kennel and will let you know when she needs her potty break. She may be an early riser, but after a quick trip outside, she’s happy to head back to bed — especially if snuggles are involved. 🥰 And don’t let her photos fool you! Churro isn’t black — she has the most beautiful shiny, velvety brown coat that you have to see in person. 🤎 Churro is looking for a patient, loving family to continue helping her build confidence and show her just how wonderful life can be. Could Churro be your girl? 🐾🤎 📍 Appleton, WI 🐶 Apply to adopt at thehopehighway.org

Story

✨ Meet Sweetie Pie — the happiest little shadow you could ask for ✨ Sweetie Pie is estimated to be 5–7 years old, but she definitely didn’t get the memo. This girl still has plenty of love, curiosity, and personality to fill your days! 💕 Sweetie Pie came to Wisconsin after being rescued from an abuse and neglect case in Georgia and finally got her second chance with a freedom flight north. Despite everything she’s been through, she has never met a human she didn’t love and wins over strangers instantly. Last weekend at Home Depot, she sat perfectly while people stopped to admire her, gently taking treats from everyone who walked by like the polite little celebrity she is. Why everyone falls in love with her: • Professional snuggler — sleeps quietly through the night next to you or at your feet • LOVES every human she meets • Wonderful with kids • Loves walks, sniffing adventures, sunbathing, hugs, and car rides • Crate trained — walks right in for a treat with no barking or whining, and will happily relax quietly while you unload groceries or get things done around the house One important thing to know about Sweetie Pie: she needs to be the only pet in the home. We know that can feel like a unicorn ask these days — pets are like potato chips and most animal lovers can’t stop at one! While she absolutely adores people, she’s happiest and most successful without other animals in the home. We know that narrows the search, but we’re committed to finding the right forever fit where she can truly thrive. Her foster mom isn’t sure she was ever truly house trained before rescue, but it turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks! Sweetie Pie is learning quickly and trying SO hard. She’s already making huge progress with consistency and a good schedule and just needs someone willing to give her grace as she continues figuring it out. What Sweetie Pie wants most is simple: love, safety, and someone to adore forever. In return, she’ll give you unwavering loyalty, endless cuddles, and a best friend who thinks the sun rises and sets with you.

Story

Meet Jon Snow! Looking at that picture-perfect smile and those distinguished snowy-muzzle markings, it’s impossible not to fall for this big guy. He arrived as a stray, but he has been complete sunshine ever since, charming everyone he meets with his sweet, gentle soul.Jon Snow is the ultimate gentle giant. He’s always up for a nice, relaxing walk, but he really shines when it’s playtime in the yard. Throw a ball, toss a frisbee, or hand him a squeaky toy, and you’ll see his playful, happy side instantly come out. He is simply a fun-loving big softie who brings so much warmth and happiness wherever he goes.Because he came in as a stray, his past history with other dogs, cats, and kids is a total mystery to us. Our adoption counselors are happy to guide you through proper introductions.If you’re searching for a handsome, fun-loving partner in crime who is equal parts playful and affectionate, come meet Jon Snow and see if he`s the missing piece to your puzzle!Jon Snow will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on core vaccinations (bordetella, distemper, rabies), dewormed, and current on flea/tick preventative.If you have any questions about Jon Snow or our adoption process, feel free to reach out to us at 920-733-1717 or adopt@foxvalleypets.org. You can also stop by during our open hours to take a look around!
