Meet ROY-Al!!

He is a handsome tri-colored Treeing Walker Coonhound that is 6 years old and ~50 pounds (could use some groceries).

ROY-AL is super sweet; he was originally an ESA dog for his owner. He already goes into the off-leash doggie play groups.

ROY-Al walked well on a loop harness for his new handler. He seemed to like getting into vehicles too. From his recent photo session, we learned that he is SUPER EXPRESSIVE!!

ROY-Al is looking for a family/home to live out his golden years. We will be looking into the large mass located on his front leg.

---SPECIAL NEEDS (deaf)---

SPARKLE is a sweet, adorable ~5-year-old, 60-lb boxer-terrier mix ? girl who will require a pet-free home without young children. 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 people she knows, but she shows her unsureness in large crowds or when strangers approach by over-reacting.

SPARKLE has been quarrelsome when off-leash with other dogs, so volunteers enjoy walking her for enrichment. She has also been good on pack walks with other dogs.

SPARKLE is spayed and current on vaccines.

BACKGROUND: Was taken in by Good Samaritan after her people abandoned her. Good Samaritan started having health issues, so SPARKLE was taken in by Emerald Street Kennels, Boise in July 2024.

Meet POPPY !
She is an adorable 1 to 1.5 year old Australian Kelpie mix and only ~25 lbs.
She is sweet and loving to humans/strangers. She has a gentle mouth so could be good with kids.

She needs refresher and practice on 'sit' and 'down', but seems smart and willing to please especially for a treat.
POPPY may be dog-selective as she walked well with a large dog (JUNO) and went nose-to-nose with a couple of puppies/medium dogs on her walk, but has shown a little reactivity around barking dogs and did not care for the pack walk.

We'll get POPPY spayed and current on vaccines for her forever family.

Meet ROWDY!!

He is a beautiful red short-haired chihuahua mix that is only 3 years old and 30 pounds.

We are just getting to know ROWDY, but he walked well on a loop harness for his new handler. He wanted to affiliate immediately with his new handler when she laid down on the cool grass.

Because ROWDY has shown to startle easily with loud noises, we are looking for a child-free home for him at this time.

ROWDY is already neutered and will be current on his vaccines for his forever family.

---SPECIAL NEEDS - DEAF---

Meet ACE !

He is a handsome just turned 7-year-old pit bull terrier with a beautiful, shiny coat and interesting eyes who found himself homeless through no fault of his own (owner lost his home).

ACE is now looking for a kid-free home with a leader to manage some of his behaviors.

ACE is housebroken. He understands some hand signals like "sit" and will sit for a treat. He is food-motivated to learn all good behaviors. ACE enjoys jumping into vehicles to go for a car ride.

ACE seems obsessed with kids and cries to be near them, but we are looking for a home without small children (>10 years) at this time.

ACE is easily excitable. He loves to play, play, play. He is a vocal player with other dogs, and may resource guard. Kennel staff are watching him for possible guarding his food bowl. We learned from his owner that he may snap when scared or believes boundaries are crossed.

ACE's adoption will include health vaccines, rabies vaccine, neuter surgery, and microchip. He is ready for his forever home!
