***NEEDS FOSTER or FOREVER HOME***
Currently in Boise boarding kennels

SPARKLE is a sweet, adorable, almost 7-year-old, 75-lb boxer-terrier mix girl who will require a pet-free home without young children. She is deaf, but seems to know some hand signals.

SPARKLE has a wonderful, loving disposition towards all people that she knows. She has been good with dogs on pack walks. SPARKLE is houstrained and cratetrained. She's mastered loose-leash walks and is great in vehicles. She really is a love, just curls up and sleeps most of the day in her kennel. She loves treats and can entertain herself with a long-lasting chew.

We are looking for a home without other dogs at this time, as she has shown us to be quarrelsome when off-leash with other dogs and may not do well in big crowds/commotion so you can have her all to yourself.

SPARKLE is spayed, microchipped and current on vaccines, so ready for her forever home.

BACKGROUND: Was taken in by Good Samaritan after her people abandoned her. Good Samaritan started having health issues, so SPARKLE was taken in July 2024 at 5 years old.

Retired Professional Cuddler Seeking a Soft Landing

Meet ZEUS, a 9- to 10-year-old Pitbull mix who has officially retired from the "puppy chaos" and is ready to go pro in "The Quiet Life." At 45 lbs, he's the perfect medium-sized companion for a mellow, pet-free household.

ZEUS is a simple man: he loves treats, he adores his people, and he believes peanut butter is a primary food group. He's already mastered the hard stuff-he's house-trained, crate-trained, and sleeps through the night like a dream. While he's polite with other dogs on walks, he'd prefer to be the "Only Child" in the home.

If you're looking for a loose-leash walking buddy who will "check in" to make sure you're still there, ZEUS is your guy. After a complete dental and extraction and removal of a lump, he's now healthy, vaccinated, microchipped, and waiting in Boise to start his best chapter yet.

BACKGROUND: ZEUS (former TARYN) and his brother were found November 2025 living in substandard conditions after their family abandoned them. They both received emergency vet care for starvation, dehydration, and other complications from prolonged neglect. Despite all they've endured, they are gentle, soft-natured, and incredibly sweet. See BEFORE photos below.

Meet OGGIE!

He is a gorgeous, healthy, soft 5.5-year-old, 45-lb male husky who is housetrained, knows basic commands, and leash manners.

OGGIE is dog-friendly, having lived in a house with other dogs and teenagers.

OGGIE was lucky to be fostered by a loving family so we learned more about him in a home. He is a sweet, smart boy who loves being close to his people. Around the house, he's calm, quiet, and happy to nap nearby while you work or relax. He enjoys playing ball. He's very food-motivated and eager to learn. He's a great companion for someone who enjoys hikes or neighborhood strolls.

OGGIE is still working on a few things, including leash reactivity to other dogs/small animals and some resource guarding. He can also be a bit selective with new people in his home, so he'll do best with a patient, experienced owner who can continue his training. With the right home, OGGIE has so much potential to be an incredibly loyal and loving companion.

OGGIE is neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines, so ready for his forever home.

Meet MARS! ?

Look at those breathtaking gold eyes! MARS is a 2-3-year-old former reservation dog who has had a rough start, but he is slowly learning that people and the world are safe and good.

Currently decompressing at Emerald Street Kennels, Boise since late August, this quiet, gentle boy is looking for a patient, low-key home where he can blossom at his own pace.

MARS is shy, gentle, sensitive, and sweet. He enjoys gentle interactions! He's been opening up in off-leash play, especially when approached by playful puppies or calm adult dogs.

MARS is getting more comfortable on walks on a leash and with other dogs. He really likes putting his head out of the vehicle window and seems to know what jumping into the back of a vehicle means.

In his day foster home, we learned that he likes his Costco biscuits, occasional puppacino, and licking mac-n-cheese bowls.

At this time, an ideal home for MARS would be a quiet, low-traffic household with a patient human. A calm resident dog companion would be a wonderful confidence booster for him!

Boarding is no place for a sensitive pup to spend his days. MARS deserves a quiet spot on a soft dog bed, surrounded by love and patience. Could you be the one to show him how sweet life can be?
