Meet happy-go-lucky POKEY!

He is a 1-year-old, 70 lb American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier mix who was given up by his owner because they fell on hard times.

POKEY loves all people. He is mostly dog-friendly, may have issues with males, but will likely resolve after neutering. POKEY loves to play, but doesn't understand personal space. He walks well on leash. He rides well in a car. He is housetrained.

POKEY responds well to correction so should be easy to train

POKEY's adoption comes with his health vaccines, rabies vaccine, and neuter surgery.

Contact Emerald Street Kennels, Boise 208-378-0123 to set up a time to meet POKEY.

---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.

Almost 3-year-old LEO is a gorgeous, healthy husky that found himself homeless but was lucky to be given shelter by Emerald Street Kennels, Boise. He is now looking for a foster or forever home.

On his walks with volunteers, he does not seem reactive to dogs, but he has not done well with farm animals. He is currently going on pack runs with other dogs a few times per week.

He is curious and seems to want to investigate or play with anything that moves and some things that do not. Bees, grasshoppers, and field mice excite him, but so did a plastic bottle and a paper cup!

LEO understands 'come here' when spoken in a friendly, gentle manner and expects to be petted afterward.

LEO has a gentle mouth when taking treats. When we stopped to sit on the grass, he stayed very close to the handler. He is a kisser if you let him. He will rest his head on your lap too. Leo showed very little interest in a ball until a treat was stuck inside of it. It took him about two minutes on two different attempts to get the treat out of the ball.

He would be a good dog for an adult-only family. With dogs in the home, LEO is likely dog-selective. He may not know how to share his resources. A home without other dogs is best for LEO at this time.

Meet LEO by calling Emerald Street Kennels, Boise 208-378-0123 or go visit during open hours.

TYSON is a sweet, good-energy, 9-year-old, 60-lb boy who doesn't show many signs of his senior status.

He hasn't done much leash-walking, so could use reminders.

He has shown some signs of food resource guarding, but is easily corrected.

TYSON is neutered and current on vaccines.

Contact Kimmie rivercwolf@yahoo.com to meet TYSON.

BACKGROUND: Had been living with his dad for several days after he had passed away from COVID. Was taken in by Good Samaritan, but she started having health issues and TYSON found himself homeless again.
