Story
Jimin is a 2-year-old Cocker Spaniel/Dachshund mix who weighs about 21 lbs. with a sweet personality. He is doing well in his foster home learning the rules of living in a house. He loves to wander around on his tiny legs wagging his tail and exploring. Jimin is gentle and good with other dogs and is believed to be ok around cats. He currently lives in a family with teens and does great and it is expected he will do great with small children as well. He spent most of his life as an outdoor dog so is working on his house manners but is doing well. He consistently walks on a leash and is doing better every day. His potty training is improving as well daily with a consistent schedule and lots of opportunities. Jimin is a sweet cuddle bug looking for his forever family.

Story
Meet Jasmine! A tomboy with a free-spirited nature, a gentle heart, and just the right amount of bougie flair! This sweet, loving shepherd mix is recently a year old and weighs 48 pounds, offering the perfect mix of playfulness and affection. Currently fostered in a home with three large male dogs, Jasmine holds her own! Crate-trained and calm, Jasmine knows how to unwind when it's time to relax. She’s incredibly dog-friendly and thrives when surrounded by her canine friends. Jasmine is also gentle with children and loves a fun game of hide-and-seek, though she's just as happy snuggling on the couch for a cozy nap. A fenced-in yard would be ideal for Jasmine to romp and play with a doggy sibling. She’s excelled at potty training in her foster home and is always ready for mealtime, rushing to her crate to make sure she doesn’t miss a single bite. Whether you're heading to a cabin up north or frequenting the lake, Jasmine is your girl! She loves getting her paws wet and will dive in head first. Jasmine is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccinations and preventatives, making her ready to join her forever family!

Story
CALLING ALL INTROVERTS!! Monty is a spayed 1 yr old petite 35lb pittie mix looking for her forever home. Monty is a quirky, loveable homebody and her hobbies include collecting stuffy toys, running through the house at full throttle, jumping for joy and bonding with her favorite people. She is best matched with an adult home and we know her forever family is out there! Monty loves all of the dogs and puppies that pass through her busy foster home and she greets each dog with gusto and a toy to share. She is reserved with strangers and will need patient adopters ready to give her time to settle in to her new routine. Monty is very relaxed and happy around her family - her foster family adores her. She has spent the last 7 months in her Wisconsin foster home living with cats, dogs and kids. She is doing well with housetraining when kept on a schedule and she sleeps in her crate.

Stanley $550

Shih Tzu

Male, 2 yrs 3 mos
Milwaukee, WI
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Stanley is a 2–3-year-old, 13-pound Shih Tzu with a heart full of joy and a tail that never stops wagging. This spunky guy loves everyone—dogs, cats, and humans of all ages. He’s the perfect mix of playful and snuggly, always ready for fun or a cozy nap. Stanley is mostly house-trained with no accidents, crate-trained, walks well on a leash, and brings big personality in a small, fluffy package. Stanley is a heartworm survivor and although he has successfully completed treatment, an adopter will need to agree to follow vet recommendations including low-energy activity for several months as well as year-round heartworm preventatives. Stanley is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. Rey of Hope Rescue is a locally based dog & cat rescue in Milwaukee serving all of SE Wisconsin.

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, 3 yrs 7 mos
Milwaukee, WI
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Chuck is a 75 lb, 3-4 y/o shepherd mix with a heart as big as his goofy grin. This handsome guy is the perfect mix of playful and chill—his thick neck is made for jiggly scritches, and his expressive grunts and sighs will keep you laughing. Chuck’s perfect day? Start with some squirrel watching on the porch, maybe a nice walk (you’ll know it’s time when he gets his toes a-tapping and does a big stretch as you reach for the leash), a car ride (where he will insist on riding shotgun), and then a wind down with a cozy movie night on the couch—likely to end in his gentle snores filling the room. Bonus points if there are treats and someone willing to toss his favorite stuffed animal now and then. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, adores people and kids, and is always up to roll around on the floor with his people. Chuck loves a good routine—it helps him feel safe and settled. He enjoys the company of other mild-mannered dogs like himself, though he’s not a fan of cats. When it comes to affection, Chuck will nuzzle in for a cuddle just long enough to let you know he loves you, before stretching out to claim his own comfy spot nearby. Whether he’s being your playmate or your shadow, Chuck just wants to be near his humans. Chuck is all in when it comes to finding a family who will love him like he deserves. Ready to meet your new best buddy? Chuck can’t wait to meet you. Rey of Hope Rescue is a locally based dog & cat rescue in Milwaukee serving all of SE Wisconsin.

Labrador Retriever Rottweiler

Story
George recently celebrated his first birthday. He is a 65lb neutered mixed breed who is microchipped and up to date on shots. He wears his heart on his sleeve with big goofy emotions - he loves toys, he snores, he convinced he's a lap cat, he's dog friendly and he is waiting for his new best friend to apply to adopt him. George is a loyal confidant and protector. He will follow you around the house and lay at your feet. He exudes quiet confidence and rarely barks unless he is alerting you to something out of the ordinary. George isn't aware of his size or strength and he barrels through life like a bull in a flower shop, so he's best matched in a home with adults or older kids until he matures and is less of a goofball. He's house trained when following a schedule and quiet as a mouse in his crate. He lives in harmony with dog savvy cats (but he would overwhelm a less confident cat with his antics).
