---SPECIAL NEEDS (deaf)---

SPARKLE is a sweet, adorable ~4-year-old, 60-lb boxer 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 all people, but she is quarrelsome with other dogs.

SPARKLE is spayed and current on vaccines.

Contact Kimmie rivercwolf@yahoo.com to meet SPARKLE.

BACKGROUND: Was taken in by Good Samaritan after her people abandoned her. Good Samaritan started having health issues, so SPARKLE is homeless again.

Currently in Boise boarding kennel
Not a bonded pair

OLIVER - brown long-hair chihuahua/pomeranian, 1.5 year old
CASSIAN - tan/white long-hair chihuahua/pomeranian, 3.5 year old

After a month of staff and volunteers interacting with these two adorable littles, they will now approach anyone who enters their boarding room to see if any treats will be shared and to sniff you. They have even gained a little weight.

We found out from previous owner that they love mozzarella, deli meats/turkey, and freeze-dried treats, so staff and volunteers have been hand-feeding them to help them find their confidence. Over time they have learned how to eat out of hands.

We are now looking for a patient family for each of them who will slowly help them learn your routine so that they can show you their true personalities.

Their adoption will include current vaccines and neuter surgery.

Submit an application to meet them in Boise and be considered to be their forever families. APPLICATION: https://forms.gle/U3UUbdpNzZVpxP9h8

Meet PETE !

He is a seasoned neutered male yellow labrador retriever (former hunting dog) who found himself without a family.

PETE knows the 'sit' command, but is slow to sit, so maybe he has some sore hips. He is friendly with strangers and really just a happy-go-lucky pup.

PETE is always excited to go for a walk. He walks a good pace for a while (10 minutes) and then eases up. He seems friendly with other dogs (see video) and didn't care when he met the resident rabbit in the lobby (see photo).

PETE seems like a good companion dog for an older couple who is looking for a reason to walk a bit each day.

PETE's adoption will include current vaccines and neuter surgery.

LOU LOU is a sweet, beautiful 5 year old, medium-sized merle-colored Cattle Dog mix who has so many wonderful qualities

LOU LOU is a loyal family dog. She is very good as a house dog. She has never been destructive, is fully house-trained, and doesn't get into garbage or food. She also loves being outside and sunbathing or following her person around. She loves walks, hikes, playing fetch, playing with her 'babies' (stuffed dog toys), cuddling, and car rides.

LOU LOU has a high prey drive and may be dog-selective, so she is looking for a family with no cats or small pets. LOU LOU will adjust to a resident companion dog as long as temperaments are compatible but needs time for introductions and warm up.

Because LOU LOU's owner was female and her boarding kennel caretakers are all female, she may be tentative around men, but will warm up if you walk with her. Like any shelter dog, she needs the right person/people and environment to flourish!

LOU LOU's adoption comes with current vaccines and she is already spayed.

If you would like to meet LOU LOU in Boise, please complete an easy, online, no-obligation adoption application. APPLICATION: https://forms.gle/U3UUbdpNzZVpxP9h8

BACKGROUND: LOULOU had to be given up by her owner in October 2024 because they lost their pet-friendly housing.
