I'm your girl!!

Bulldog/American Pitbull Mix

Dog friendly, cats beware

I know this might come as a surprise to you, but I am actually a lap dog. I don't care what size the lap is, I will fit there! When I'm done snuggling, I am ready to roughhouse with the best of them. You could say I'm the full package. And if that wasn't enough to convince you, I'm pretty great with tiny humans too.

CUPCAKE is ~4 years old and 60 pounds of squishy!

She is GOOFY and has been described as a short, friendly bowling ball, and we can't agree more.

She is good with some dogs, but is not a fan of cats. She loves every human she meets.

She makes funny sounds, flops frog legged on the ground, and makes herself comfortable anytime she wants to. She loves rolling in the grass (see video).

She loves walks and checks in with her handler. She will even auto-sit when you stop! (see video).

She loves her snacks and snuggles. She rides well in a car.

We recently learned that she enjoys chewies (see video).

She is a very unique, very special, funny, laidback girl who will utterly steal your heart if you meet her!

Because of unfortunate circumstances, 3-year-old GRIZZY just lost the only family that she has known in her short life. She knew the staff at Emerald Street Kennels, so volunteers and staff are now caring for her while she looks for her forever home.

GRIZZY is good with kids older than 12. She has never been around cats.

GRIZZY is e-collar-trained and muzzle-trained.

MOCHA has been in our rescue since early 2017 when she was a puppy. She truly deserves her own family.

Hi, I'm MOCHA!

I'm a 6-year-old female pittie wiggle butt that loves to snuggle with my people. I'm house trained and crate trained and treat-motivated to learn more. I used love to play with other dogs, but my foster daddy believes that I will be best in a home as the only pet. Unfortunately, there will be no cats in my future.

I'm pretty good on leash, but still need reminders when my people say 'come'-treats will help. I'm still a little timid around strangers, so give them a few treats and let me warm up to them. I will never forget you once we bond. Did I tell you that I love my chewies?

Because I take time to warm to new people, I will do best in a home without small kids and with a patient family.

I'm already spayed and current on vaccines. I will be microchipped for my furever family. Because I have been without a family for so long, my adoption fee is only $100.

Meet BUBBAS !
Currently in Boise

Who wants to meet an incredibly handsome 1 year old, 35-40 pound puppy who has a lot of love to give??? BUBBAS is your man!

Do you need someone to watch Netflix with? I'm just a big lap dog and enjoy cuddling on the couch.

My foster mom says I am very smart and learn quickly! I'm still working on training, but I already know how to sit and would love to take a puppy class to learn more good behaviors!

I get along with my 2-year-old foster fur sister (a lab mix). I love to play, so I might be too energetic for smaller dogs. I live with a 14-year-old Chiweenie, but mom watches us closely when I try to get him to play. Unsure how I will react around cats.

I ride well in the car and love helping mom when she is doing errands. I don't complain during baths.

We are working on potty training and making great progress with the help of a doggy door and routine; so far no accidents in the crate. I currently eat in my crate and will go in, but I let mom know sometimes that I prefer to be out. I go right to bed and sleep in my crate all night.

I was lucky to be evaluated by a professional dog trainer and I learned that I am a sensitive dog that needs an experienced, dog-savvy owner in a child-free home who can work with me to help me find my confidence.

I'm already neutered and fully vaccinated.

So, whadda you think? Don't I sound wonderful???

Come meet me, BUBBAS, by contacting Emerald Street Kennels, Boise, 208-378-0123

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.
