American Staffordshire Terrier puppies and dogs in Rathdrum, Idaho

Meet Jelly Roll! This adorable gentle bear has quickly stolen our hearts. Jelly Roll is an easy-going, sweet-natured boy who gets along well with other rescue pets and doesn’t stir up any trouble. He’s crate and leash trained, and he’s incredibly gentle when taking treats from your hand. This big boy recently completed heartworm treatment and is on the road to full health.  He enjoys relaxing outside on nice days and keeps himself entertained. He’s also an excellent car rider and would love a family that enjoys daily walks to help him stay in shape. The ideal home for Jelly Roll would have a privacy fence and help him continue building confidence. Due to his size, he’d do best in a home with older kids. We haven’t tested him with cats yet. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-maintenance companion who just needs a little encouragement to blossom, Jelly Roll might be your perfect match!

Meet Denali! A sweet girl with love to share! Born in 2016, sweet natured and goofy Denali gets along well with dogs and people (adults and children); she went on a weekend trip with her fosters and did really well being in a new place and around new people. Denali will happily join you for an outdoor adventure, occasionally trotting up to you for pets and ear rubs, but is just as comfortable being on her own and can amuse herself if you are occupied. Denali, true to her nature inspired name, delights in spending time outdoors and enjoys sniffing and exploring. She acts like she is part bloodhound and part detective, quickly finding the scent if a new animal has visited the yard. Denali also loves to romp around with the other dogs in her foster home and enjoys running and playing chase with them. She bounds around the yard, stopping to encourage the resident dogs to join in her antics. Before being rescued and settling into her foster home, Denali and her pups were stuck in a rural shelter in Texas. While the puppies quickly found new homes, sweet, endearing Denali was adopted by an older couple. Unfortunately, when a death and severe medical issues left her adopter unable to care for Denali, she was returned. At this point she was seriously overweight and suffering from bladder stones, which were successfully removed in July. Her foster has since been working diligently on her diet, which resulted in Denali losing 30 pounds!   Denali’s ideal home? Denali is looking for someone to love and to love her in return, who will support her on her weight loss journey! Her ideal weight is around 45 pounds, so she just has another 10-15 pounds to go. She will need to remain on prescription food for the rest of her life to prevent more bladder stones, and she may be prone to urinary tract infections, so an adopter will need to be watchful for these. Denali would love a walking partner and snuggle buddy and loving companion.  Are you ready to reach new heights with Denali? “Fur-st Impressions” are very important! Schedule a meet and greet with Denali before applying to see if she is the perfect fit for your family by emailing us at Fur-stImpressions@pathofhoperescue.com.  A completed Adoption Application will be required after the meet and greet to move forward with Denali’s adoption.

Meet Jasper!    Sweet, gentle Jasper is a very shy girl, and it can often take her some time to warm up to new people. However, once you win over her heart, you will have gained a permanent shadow. In addition to going where you may go, Jasper is also a huge fan of cuddles on the couch, and is always ready to snuggle up next to you when it’s time for bed. When she’s not right next to her favorite person, Jasper also enjoys spending time outside, taking in the smells, and scoping out the neighborhood. While she may be gentle, this girl still knows how to have fun, and really loves to let loose and have fun when around other dogs similar to or smaller than her size. Outside of considerably larger dogs, Jasper is also not a fan of sudden, loud noises, and has a life-long vendetta against vacuums. (Who doesn’t though, you know?)    Great with: Other dogs, and kids of all ages!BONUS: Jasper is fully potty, and crate trained, and will happily sleep through the night, right by your side!   Ideal Home: Jasper would do well in a home of a loving individual, or a family whose kids will understand that she’s a lady and needs a more gentle touch than other dogs might. And while a canine companion isn’t required, she certainly wouldn’t mind if she had a mid-size to smaller buddy to hang out with!   So, if you’re looking for a shy, but friendly, lovable, and smart companion, Jasper is the girl for you!   “Fur-st Impressions” are very important! Schedule a meet and greet with Jasper before applying to see if she is the perfect fit for your family by emailing us at Fur-stImpressions@pathofhoperescue.com.  A completed Adoption Application will be required after the meet and greet to move forward with Jasper’s adoption.
