Available Foster Dogs

FOSTER NEEDED: MEET ATLAS!

Currently in Boise boarding kennels, meet ATLAS, a gorgeous 45-lb, 2-year-old brindle Shepherd mix who is ready to leave the kennel life behind and settle into a loving home!

ATLAS was rescued as a "shut-down" reservation dog. After spending two months in boarding with care and attention by staff and volunteers, he is finding his brave side and has been enjoying pack walks with his fur buddies. He is learning to love the off-leash play groups, but enjoys rough-housing with his reservation-mate, AMBER.

At this time, ATLAS is looking for a quiet, kid-free home with a patient owner and maybe a confident resident dog.

ATLAS is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccines. ATLAS is ready for his foster or forever home today!

BONDED PAIR ALERT: SADIE & WINNIE! NEED A FOREVER HOME
If you are looking to add an absolute abundance of love, personality, and joy to your life, look no further. This gorgeous bonded pair recently lost their home, their person, and their main friend. We are determined not to let them lose each other, too.

They are both fully vetted, spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, house-trained, masters of the dog door, and absolutely love going for car rides!

Here is the scoop on these two wonderful girls:
SADIE (4 Years Old) - The Brilliant Cuddle Bernadoodle
Sadie is a total gem. She is incredibly smart, learns lightning-fast, and is 1000% a couch-cuddle enthusiast.

• The Fetch Champion: She is amazing at fetch and will even happily entertain herself playing with tennis balls.
• Sassy & Communicative: She has the best personality. When she's correcting a behavior, she'll give you a little sideways glance and a grumble to "speak her displeasure," but she always listens!
• A Sensitive Soul: All she's been through has made her a bit high-strung and easily overexcited, but she calms down quickly with love and reassurance.
• Her Safe Space: Sadie loves her crate! It's her wonderful spot for nervous system breaks and helps her sleep soundly.
• Dog Preference: Sadie prefers humans over other dogs-except for her sister, Winnie. She can be a little bossy and likes to be front and center, but she's learning to share beautifully!

WINNIE (1.5 Years Old) - The Silly, Joyful Doll
Winnie is pure, good-natured sunshine. Her adorable, puppet-like running style and hilarious mannerisms will put a smile on your face every single day.

• Playful Puppy Energy: She still has some endearing puppy habits! She loves to gently "steal" shoes, socks, or a bit of paper-never to destroy them, just to proudly deposit them in a new spot to find later.
• Independent yet Loving: She is incredibly affectionate and wants to snuggle on the sofa or bed, but she's also great at entertaining herself in the grass.
• Great with Others: Winnie plays wonderfully with other dogs and is happy to let them take the lead.

Why They Simply Belong Together

Their bond is a beautiful, symbiotic relationship. Winnie views Sadie as her absolute favorite thing in the world and uses her as a guide. On the flip side, Sadie deeply depends on Winnie for comfort, strength, and camaraderie. Sadie can be anxious and jumpy around other animals, but when Winnie touches her, she melts and leans right into it. They provide each other with the ultimate sense of safety.

Their Ideal Home: They need a family who has plenty of time for couch snuggling and will cherish Sadie's intelligence and Winnie's silly antics. They will do best as the only two dogs in the home so Sadie can have all the human affection she craves, with her bestie Winnie right by her side.

How to Adopt This Perfect Pair:
Don't let them wait! If you have room in your heart and home for double the love, let's get you introduced.

***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.

Meet ZEUS !

He is an affectionate, people-loving, 45-lb, 12-year-old male pitbull mix who is looking for a quiet, stable home willing to provide comfort care after all that he has endured. Despite his past, he is friendly, loving and deeply human-oriented.

ZEUS is fine with off-leash doggy playgroups at his boarding kennel, but he doesn't really engage. He enjoys sniffing the room and resting. He adores all the attention that he receives from the staff and volunteers. He loves treats and food. ZEUS walks well on a loose leash and with other dogs. He even 'checks in' with his handler (see video).

ZEUS was lucky to be in a foster home to recover from neuter surgery. We learned that he is housetrained, cratetrained, and sleeps through the night. He loves exploring new smells around the house or on walks. He loves peanut butter so can pass the time in his crate or when you are away from him with a lick mat or a stuffed Kong. ZEUS knows auto-sit for a treat and down.

ZEUS is fine with resident dogs, but has not learned how to share resources like your love and your food. He will let you know about his displeasure with a warning growl. We are looking for a home where this behaviour can either be managed (i.e., avoid these situations) or a home without other dogs.

ZEUS should be fine in any calm home, including respectful elementary school age kids. He would be ideal for an older couple looking to walk each day.

ZEUS is healthy, neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines for his forever family.

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.

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.
