Story
Meet the new kid on the block in Utah - GRASSHOPPER! Surprisingly she fits her quirky name.  She is bursting with enthusiasm and has been starved for a person to give her endless amounts of love to.  She loves kids, definitely partial to women (but will warm up to men) and loves to chew toys. She sleeps on her dog bed in the foster's bedroom and is crate trained. The foster family has also been working on basic commands with her! Grasshopper has had both spay and entropion eyelid surgery, so she is ready to go!  We estimate she is around 5 years old and is fostering in Utah.  January 10, 2026, 7:15 am

Story
Meet Pei! Pei is a wonderful house dog who brings both affection and fun to her home. She truly loves her daily walks and enjoys being out and about, taking in the world around her. She walks well and is easy to redirect. She’s eager to engage with her handler and learn together. At home, Pei does very well settling in. She’s been great while her foster is at work and, after a little time, relaxes and feels comfortable on her own. When others are around, she happily seeks out companionship and comfort, she enjoys being close to her people. Pei is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to snuggle and cuddle, especially with her favorite humans. She also has a playful side. She already knows basic commands like sit and lay down, and she’s responsive and eager to please. Overall, Pei is a loving, loyal companion who thrives in a home environment and enjoys both active time and cozy moments. She’s ready to bring joy, affection, and companionship to her future family. Pei is available from her foster home! If you are interested in meeting her please call or email our adoptions team for more information! adoptions@utahhumane.org or 801-261-2919 ext. 227

Story
Sawyer is a “Pocket Bully” born in September 2018 with a cleft lip, cleft palate, and spina bifida. He is currently eating and drinking safely on his own and we don’t believe his cleft lip/palate will require any surgical intervention. Sawyer will always need a little extra supervision to make sure he doesn’t eat anything dangerous for him, and will never be able to safely eat wet or goopy foods like canned food, peanut butter, yogurt, or any other liquids other than water. But otherwise he is expected to live a long, healthy life. The spina bifida causes Sawyer to be incontinent and to have some weakness in his back legs. He can walk and get around very well, but he will be in diapers for the rest of his life. He is a very happy, spunky pup and is friendly with humans and other dogs. He needs a committed home willing to give him the extra care he needs to thrive. Sawyer has been neutered, is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heartworm and is also micro chipped. If you are interested in adopting, please complete our online adoption application at www.uaaf.org. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please email Jenn at jennc@mac.com or text at 801-554-9501.

Story
Hi, I'm Lucas, a 2-year-old Boxer, named after the legendary George Lucas, because my life is basically an epic saga. I may start off a little cautious, like the opening scene of a space adventure, but once I trust you, the fun really takes off. I've got playful energy, classic Boxer goofiness, and a heart that's firmly on the light side of the Force. With a calm, patient, and active home to help me build confidence, I'm ready to be your leading character in a love story that's definitely sequel-worthy.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 52 Age: 2yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
LION – Male Boxer | 2 Years Old - DOB 11/25/2023 |    50 lbs | Healthy, Vaccinated & Neutered Introducing Lion, the sweetest big-hearted Boxer boy you’ll ever meet! At 2 years old, Lion has that perfect blend of Boxer goofiness and soulful loyalty. He’s playful, affectionate, expressive, and absolutely loves being near his humans. Lion is the type of dog who wiggles when he’s happy, leans in for cuddles, and charms everyone he meets with his warm, gentle nature. Breed Info: Boxers are known for their intelligence, athleticism, and famously silly personalities. They are deeply loyal, people-oriented, and incredibly loving companions. Boxers thrive on interaction, bonding, and being included in family life. Lion reflects the best of his breed — goofy, devoted, and full of heart. Owner Responsibilities: To help Lion thrive, he’ll need: Daily exercise (walks, play, and engagement) Structure, training, and positive reinforcement Plenty of affection and time with his family A safe, stable home where he won’t be left alone too long Give him routine, purpose, and love — and Lion will give you devotion for life. Things to Consider Before Adopting Lion: Are you ready for a medium-energy, highly social dog? Do you have the time and stability for daily exercise and bonding? Is your home and landlord dog-friendly? Are you prepared to commit to a dog for the next 10+ years? Are you ready for a dog who wants to be included as part of the family, always? Dogs are forever — not until convenient. Vet Care: Lion is healthy, vaccinated, and neutered. Please take him to your own vet shortly after adoption to set up ongoing care and ensure his continued well-being. The 3-3-3 Rule & Lifelong Commitment: First 3 days: He decompresses and starts to feel safe. First 3 weeks: Lion learns your routine, expectations, and begins trusting fully. First 3 months: He bonds deeply, understanding he is truly home at last. Adoption is forever — and Lion is ready to give his heart unconditionally. Why Lion Would Be a Great Addition: Lion is a loyal, affectionate, and joy-filled companion who will bring warmth and love into any home. His expressive Boxer charm, playful energy, and gentle nature make him the kind of dog who forms bonds that last a lifetime. He’ll make you laugh, comfort you on hard days, and love you with everything he has. He’s not just a dog — he’s family. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143   If you are interested in adopting this amazing dog, please follow the link https://www.ozzieandfriendsrescue.org/adoptions and fill out an application  Thank you for choosing Ozzie and Friends Rescue.
