If you are interested in Aster Lee please contact dogs@lostdogrescue.org Meet Aster Lee! A girl with a big smile and an even bigger heart. Aster is a sweetheart who has been stealing the hearts 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 to 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! Her foster confirms she is fully house trained, is a lovely houseguest, and will even go to the door to let you know she has to go outside. She's a smart girl who knows basic commands, like sit, come, down, place, stay, heel, and she is always eager to learn more! With all these amazing skills, Aster would LOVE a nice, big backyard to practice in. What dog wouldn't? She is an independent dog looking for a great home, a big yard, and loving people. Aster Lee is seeking an experienced and loving family. She is very excited to find the forever family that she can shower with love!

Story
If you are interested in adopting King, please contact dogs@lostdogrescue.org Hi! I'm King. I am loving, loyal, and - ok, you made me say it - very handsome. Oh, and did I mention that I am looking for a best friend to adopt me? I like leash walks, especially in calm and quiet spaces where we can spend some quality time together without the crowds. But, I may get distracted by all of the wonderful smells because I really do need to put my nose on everything to explore the wonders of the world. Not only am I curious, I am up for a challenge! I like to run across streams, jump on logs, and hike the trails. I have lots of energy so will be sure to help keep up with your exercise plan. I even like to get in a jog from time to time. And, not to brag, but I am pretty smart. But, for the sake of all those delicious treats, I will pretend that it takes me time to master new tricks and skills. One more thing to tell you. I like to talk when I play. I hope you will come to meet me so we can play together forever, just you and me!

To learn more about Bufford, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org. Meet Bufford, the ultimate butt-wiggling boxer mix! At just 1 year old, Bufford is an all-wiggles, all-love kind of pup who greets the world with a happy tail, soft eyes, and a big goofy grin! This handsome boy is a delightful walking buddy. He’s great on leash—traffic, bikes, and runners are no problem—and loves a good sniff-filled stroll. He may let out a little excited whine when he wants to meet another dog pal, but he redirects quickly with tasty treats, which he takes ever so gently, and walks on like the good boy he is. Bufford is friendly, agreeable, and eager to please. While he doesn’t seem to know many commands yet, his food motivation, mellow energy, and desire to make his people happy position him as a great candidate for training. Affectionate, goofy, people-loving, and always wagging, Bufford is the kind of pup who makes every day brighter. If you’re looking for a happy, loving companion who’s ready for fun and cuddles, Bufford can’t wait to meet you!
