Story
Adorable Callie's story broke our hearts. In her previous life she was an ESA for her owner that sadly passed away, and was left to the other adult in the home, who was in a motorcycle accident and passed shortly after. She ended up in a high kill shelter and we swooped her off of the euthanasia list just in time. Now she is on the hunt for her new forever family in the PNW! Callie is great with other dogs, but may do better as an only dog as she can be a bit bossy in her own home with other dogs. She loves pack walks and being involved with other pups. She has been around cats and didn't seem to mind them. She does great with all people big and small! Spay, microchip, and current vaccines all included in her adoption fee.

Story
***NEEDS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME*** Currently boarding in Boise Meet ROXY! She is a 5-year-old, 46-lb affectionate, people-loving cuddlebug who will melt into your arms the moment you sit down. She is housetrained and good with kids. ROXY's story hasn’t been an easy one. This beautiful pup spent too long fending for herself, trying to get by without the love and care every dog deserves. While she was technically "owned", the owners didn't care for her, letting her get pregnant, and roam the streets. But even after all she’s been through, ROXY is still the sweetest girl. In our rescue, ROXY finally knows what kindness feels like and is soaking it all in — and giving it right back. Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, resting her head on your lap, or greeting you with a happy tail wag, ROXY's favorite thing in the world is simply being loved. She is old enough to appreciate a good nap, but still young enough for playtime and leisurely walks. After everything she’s endured, ROXY is ready for her next chapter — one filled with belly rubs, soft blankets, and a family that will cherish her for the rest of her life. Spay, microchip, and current vaccines all included in her $150 adoption fee. If you’re looking for a dog who will love you with her whole heart, ROXY is your girl. Please share this post to help ROXY find her forever family. She is ready for her new life to begin ❤️. Apply to meet and learn more about ROXY at www.freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story
Meet Butterball! This nakey boy is looking for a family with a little extra love in their hearts. Butterball waited in the shelter full of mange and completely naked before he moved to foster care. Now he spends his day wagging his tail, loving on other dogs, wrestling in the yard, and being happy all day. He loves to snuggle on the bed and enjoys his shirts. He is a super sweet boy that is grateful for his second chance. He has the BEST personality, squishy face, and is a great cuddler. Butterball is going through heartworm treatment (covered by the rescue in Meridian). He also has an unrelated heart disease that is being managed. He is a big lover, stage 5 clinger, and is just looking for someone that wants to give his sweet soul a family for the rest of his life. He is the best boy. Neuter, microchip, and current vaccines all included in his adoption fee. Please start with the adoption application: freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story
Roxy’s story hasn’t been an easy one. This beautiful, middle-aged Pitbull mix spent too long fending for herself, trying to get by without the love and care every dog deserves. While she was technically "owned", the owners didn't care for her, letting her get pregnant, and roam the streets. But even after all she’s been through, Roxy is still the sweetest girl. Now that she is finally surrendered to us, she knows what kindness feels like, Roxy is soaking it all in — and giving it right back.

Story
Young, sweet pitbull baby name Bruno. My mom recently suffered a fall less than 6 months after her and my dad adopted this sweet boy and they are no longer able to give him the care or training he needs. He is fairly young (less than 2 years old) and starting to learn many commands but needs someone who is able to offer him consistent training and energetic release. He loves hiking, camping, dog parks, couch cuddling, running. He is absolutely fabulous in the car even for long road trips. We've had many dogs over the years and know that he will be the perfect companion with a little bit more structure and strong owners. He needs a tall fenced yard as he is able to jump the short one. Ideally a dog door. Luckily he is not a runner and comes on command. He's great with other dogs (loves playing with our pitty mix.) but I would watch him around cats. Not recommended for a home with elderly family members or super small children until he's had training to learn not to jump.

Story
Tiny and Marlie are very gentle and good-natured dogs that we would love to see adopted together if possible. Both are cuddlers although Marlie prefers to lay on top of you rather than to the side. They are both such sweethearts and love people. They're good with kids. With new people and situations, however, Marlie is a little timid at first. These youngsters are super playful and love toys, treats, and bones. Tiny lives to play tug-of-war or keep-away and his favorite toys are ropes. Marlie is content with a chew and a shade tree. They are both treat-motivated. Once, their temporary foster mom took them to a park where there were other dogs and while Marlie was a bit standoffish, she didn't act like she minded the other animals. In the temporary foster home they did not get along with the senior Pitty but were okay with the other dogs. It is hard to say if they will do best with just the two of them or be fine with another friendly, confident dog of middle age. Marlie walks with a hunch in her back like maybe she sustained an injury at some point that wasn’t treated. The landlord at the apartment where they came from said there was a time when she didn't get around much and seemed like she hurt her "rear leg or something". Tiny stayed at her side the entire time. These two are a bonded pair, not siblings, but they love each other dearly. From what we were told, their prior owner tried to separate them at one point and they both did poorly. They are very attached to each other. That being said, the situation was already less than ideal, and they probably needed each other to cope. They can go to separate fosters if needed, but after the trauma and abandonment they have endured, we would love to keep them together. They absolutely love car rides and behave wonderfully. They have great leash manners. They get along with the cats in their home. Both are estimated to be about one year old at the beginning of July, 2024. They are in our satellite foster group in the Salt Lake City area. If you’re interested in one or both of these big bundles of love, please visit our Linktree page and complete an application. https://linktr.ee/northernstardogrescue

***NEEDS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME*** Currently in Boise boarding kennels ---SPECIAL NEEDS (deaf)--- SPARKLE is a sweet, adorable 7-year-old, 60-lb boxer-terrier mix 💖 girl who will require a pet-free home without young children. She seems to know some hand signals and enjoys her treats. Because she appears to have a bunch of different breeds in her, it might be fun to get her DNA tested. SPARKLE has a wonderful disposition towards all people that she knows, but she is quarrelsome when off-leash with other dogs and may not do well in big crowds/commotion. She has been good on pack walks. SPARKLE is spayed, microchipped and current on vaccines, so ready for her forever home.

Story
Meet Bella – Waiting Over 5 Years for Her Forever Family Sweet Bella has been with Spring Branch Rescue for over 5 years, hoping for a family to finally see her!  As a puppy, Bella was kept in a crate for long hours. All she wanted was to play with the kids in her home, but instead she spent her days confined. Despite her rough start, she’s still full of love, joy, and personality. Bella is playful, affectionate, and loves being part of the conversation (yes, she’s a little vocal!). She’s crate-trained, loves her playtime, and thrives when she’s included in family life. She’s on a special salmon or beef-based diet for mild skin allergies — no poultry for this girl.  Bella deserves a home where she can be free to love, play, and belong. She’s waited long enough — could you be the one she’s been dreaming of? Not in Texas? No problem! We offer transport to the Pacific NW and East Coast. Bella is ready to be part of your family — forever. ##2149754##
