These three need fosters! Three separate homes are needed. The first two are males and need to have female only buddies in their home and the last one has a photo of the mom (the red heeler in the back). The two males are 6 months old and the momma is 2 years old.

I’m still gathering behavior information, but they seem people and dog friendly.

Rescue pays for all food, training, and vet care. Breed experience is preferred.

I’m filling my car with one more round of hitchhikers to Oregon from Fresno, CA and we need to find a foster for momma to save them all!

Momma and puppies need an immediate foster on the 17th. These heeler mixes have been completely neglected and they need a special foster to nurse them back to health. In order to make this rescue happen, momma must find a foster, as my house is overflowing with emergency rescues.

Momma and puppies have been hunting and surviving off of the land. Per the shelter, momma is incredibly friendly and sweet. Likely no cats and dogs are unknown, but due to coming from a hoarding case, she likely gets along with other dogs.

Puppies are 7 weeks old and can be fostered in pairs or all together. There are 6 of them and they are filled with worms and need a special foster to nurse them back to health. All vet care and food is provided by the rescue. Puppies will be available for adoption once they’ve received their second round of puppy shots and have a clean bill of health.

Please let me know if you can help foster these lovelies and help give them a fresh start. You can email the rescue directly: [email protected]

All pets in the foster home must be fixed if 6 months or older and up to date on shots. A home visit is required to foster, and I’ll be performing them as soon as I land in Salem on the 16th/17th. Foster must be located within an hour of Salem or Roseburg, OR

🚨 Urgent 🚨

Murphy needs a home by January 22nd as his owner is moving to Mexico. His owner lost nearly everything in the pandemic and the home that Murphy was supposed to go to fell through with no fault of his own. His owner has committed enough funds for a board and train, but my house is tight until February 8th. Is someone willing to foster him until then or provide him a forever home?

About Murphy:
Murphy is 3 years old and has been living as a farm dog since he was a puppy. He’s a bit undersocialized, but he did great when I met him with a warm introduction. Per the owner - He is dog selective and has lived with two dogs in the past. He needs a gradual introduction to any other dogs and he can come on a bit strong. No cats. No young children. Per my brief assessment, he’s shy, but warms up quickly to new people, but would thrive in a low traffic home while he’s adjusting. He does fence chase and needs a home that can manage this. He knows basic commands and is responsive. He walks well on leash and shows mild curiosity to other dogs and people. He needs a home that will take things at his pace as he adjusts from farm life.

Please send me a PM if you can help!

We’re over 70% to our goal and just 5 days away from bringing Cash home safe and sound! We just need $850 or $170/day to meet our goal for pick-up. Can we save Cash for the holidays? 🎄❄️

- Meet Cash -

For his 3rd birthday, we’re looking to save him and start the training rehabilitation process. He knows nothing but fear, loneliness, and the constant desire for human companionship and affection. Cash has been on a tie-out since he was a puppy and has had to defend himself and his food from stray dogs and wildlife. He is good with kids and new people, but is highly reactive to dogs, cats, and other small animals, and he needs our help to become adoptable.

All funds go to saving Cash. We need to raise funds for transport ($700) from Clarksville, Tennessee to Salem, Oregon, where he will reside with a professional dog trainer in his own mother and law suite, separate from any other dogs. There he will be trained daily by his foster mom until he’s ready for his forever home. This rehabilitation process to get him to a place to be adoptable can take 3-8 months and we need your continued support. All remaining funds go to his training, food, treats, enrichment, and toys for his first month staying with his foster mom. Any funds above our goal will go towards the remainder of his stay.

Cash is a well-deserving pup that just needs someone to believe in him - We know he can go far based on his assessment and can become a wonderful companion with the right care and guidance.

We are leaving January 7th to pick up this sweet boy (🚗 trip!) and can’t wait to bring you home!

Hi all - If you’ve been following our posts (and posts on Dogs Unleashed), you’ve heard a lot about Nala. Nala is a sweet girl that has completely won over my heart and has made some huge progress, but is now hitting a crossroads and she needs our help. She was recommended for euthanasia when I first started working with her, and despite her progress, her foster mom is starting to hit her patience level.

I’ve volunteered to do a 6-8 week board-n-train with her to both give the foster mom a break, but also to give her a kickstart in her progress and hopefully get her to a point to becoming adoptable. In order to do this, I need your help! Pickup is December 10th, just in time for the holidays.

Looking for a way to donate or give back during the holidays? Consider helping save Nala! Also accepting bags of food, treats, and toys.

Butters is up for adoption! She’s one of my current fosters and is such a sweetie. She’s a medium to low energy gal just looking for her new family. She loves snuggles and Netflix and chilling. Great on leash. No other animals or young kids please.

Update - Saved 🐾

🚨 SOS 🚨

- Emergency Foster/Adopt Home Needed -

Meet Belle - the 3 year old pit mix. Belle has been with her current owner since she was a pup, but unfortunately they don’t have time for her anymore. She’s currently being kept in a crate for most of the day, and needs a new home and a vet checkup ASAP.

Per the current owner: Cats are ok, and she’s good with most dogs. She loves kids, but can be weary of strangers and can bark. She needs training and basic obedience, and a committed, safe space to land. She’s spayed and up to date on shots.

Update - Adopted 🐾❤️

- Urgent adopter or foster needed -

Salem, OR

🚫 Cats
🚫 Dogs
👍🏻 Kids

Meet Ruckus! He’s an 8 month old puppy who came from Texas as a rescue. He’s neutered and UTD on all shots.

Ruckus spent his whole puppyhood at the shelter and has some trauma from it. He was adopted at 8 weeks from a wonderful family who enrolled him in training from a young age as he was having a hard time adjusting to life outside the shelter. He was fear reactive to strangers, strange dogs, and anything novel (including noises, leaves, etc) and couldn’t even make it past the front door. His mom has put in some amazing work and by the end our sessions, he was able to walk past strange dogs and people like a champ. He still struggles with parks, but has made tremendous progress. He will need to continue his training to work on his issues. He has dog friends but can be dog selective. He would do best as an only animal home.

Sadly, he has an intense prey drive and does not get along with the cats and needs to find a new home or foster before the end of the month. I’d be willing to provide heavily discounted training to continue his progress and to help with the transition to his new home.

10/20/2021

Update - Adopted 🐾

- Urgent -

Lola needs a foster or permanent home in the coming weeks. She is 11 months old, up to date on shots, spayed and chipped.

The original owner did not take into account her breed before bringing her home and the family no longer has time for her.

She needs a quiet home with no young kids (12+ please) that have the time and resources to properly train and socialize her, along with lots of space and time to mentally and physically stimulate her.

Lola is kennel trained, potty trained and knows some basic commands, she does really well with their other dog, but would thrive as a single pet in a household.

She is reactive with people and dogs while on walks, and needs a gentle guardian that will help her learn that strange people and dogs aren’t too bad. She has other dog friends that she loves to play with, but is just dog selective.

When she’s stressed or bored, she can become destructive and talkative, but with enough mental and physical stimulation, these behaviors disappear.

Breed experience and/or dedicated individual who will take part in training required.

- Meet Darla -

Darla is one of my current fosters and will be available for adoption after the 12th when she’s spayed. She has been a model student during her stay, and has even been a demo dog during a group class! She’s a gentle lab/shepherd mix, who has incredible patience with other dogs and people. She is about a year and a half and came from a hoarding case - you wouldn’t know it when you meet her though! This girl greets strangers and strange dogs with excitement and loves learning new things (and pets and snuggles of course). She’s crate trained, knows sit, come, and does great on leash. She would perfect for most homes (not sure about cats), and I’m sure she’s going to be scooped up fast! Adopt this sweetie before she’s gone!

Koda is one of my current fosters and will be available for adoption after the 12th when she’s spayed. She has been such a pleasure with her stay - a bouncy lab/shepherd mix, full of joy and love. She is about 9 months old and came from a hoarding case - you wouldn’t know it when you meet her though! This girl greets strangers and strange dogs with the cutest grin and is always in search of pets and snuggles. She’s crate trained, knows sit, drop it, come, and is working on leash manners. She would perfect for most homes (not sure about cats), and I’m sure she’s going to be scooped up fast! Adopt this goofball before she’s gone!

— Meet Lucy —

Lucy is a 10 year old heeler/border collie mix looking for her final home. Her past is a bit unknown, but her previous owner threatened to shoot her simply because of her age and them wanting to get a new pup. She’s safe in a foster but is struggling due to their other dogs. Her new home ideally would be as an only dog. She’s sweet as can be to humans, and just needs a home full of snuggles and love. She’s located in Washington, but I can assist with transport.

— Immediate foster/home needed—

Meet Bennie! He’s around 2 years old and is a border collie mix. He’s fixed and up to date on shots, but needs an immediate safe space to land as he is having trouble with the cats at the current home and it’s become a safety concern. He was rescued from Texas and this is would be his 4th home. He’s had a rough start, but he has a heart of gold. I’ll provide free training with his new home or if you choose to foster. He would do best in a home with no kids or cats - he’s dog selective but does great with his low energy chihuahua in his current home. He’s leash reactive to dogs, kids, and strangers, and has trouble when people enter the home, but is quick to warm up on neutral territory. He’s currently in an apartment - He would do best in a home with a yard to work on his reactivity. Message me for more info!

- Rush is looking for his new forever home! -

Rush is a very sweet boy who loves to play, but loves snuggles even more. He graduated from our 6 week private training program before he came to us for our foster-n-train program. He knows all of his basic commands such as recall (including whistle recall from a distance), sit, lay down, off, stay, and more and has great leash manners with distractions. He was rehomed at no fault of his own (growing family) and has been such a pleasure to have.

He’s about a year and half, neutered, and up-to-date on his shots. He’s about 97 pounds and is part Bernese mountain dog, part Rhodesian Ridgeback, part Collie, which makes him quite the gentle giant.

He would do best in a home with no cats, and maybe dogs (warm introduction and meet-n-greet required). He thrived living with his brother previously and was a frequent visitor at the dog park, but can be dog selective. He is fantastic with kids - gentle energy and relatively low maintenance.

Rehoming fee applies, which includes 6 training sessions to ensure a smooth transition.

*** Want to foster? My private foster-n-train is looking to expand in the near future! As a foster parent, you’re provided all the free training and supplies needed. Non-profit status coming soon. Send me a message to learn more!

Today Enzo went to his new home. Happy sad tears over here. He was originally a private training client, but when we got to the end of our 6 weeks, the owners decided to rehome due to a growing family and I offered to take him in as part of my private board-n-train program. This sweetheart spent almost 2 months with me before his perfect new home came along. Temporarily in my home, always in my heart.

Hi all! These two boys just finished 5 weeks of training with me and the owners have decided to rehome them due to a growing family. They’re both just shy of 2 years old and are big dogs (100+ pounds). They have done really well with recall and loose leash walking, but will need to continue training as they have largely lived outside for the past year. Rehoming fee applies which will go towards a 6 week training package. They are brothers, but have done well together, and can be placed separately or together. I’m still collecting additional information, but let me know if you’re interested! I’ll be taking them in by Friday for my Foster-n-Train program if a home isn’t found.

Hi all! If you know me, you know my passion (and soft spot) for heelers. These two heelers needed an emergency foster home due to the hot weather, and I’ll be picking them up this weekend. Due to short notice, I’m asking for funds for supplies, which will then be handed off to their new adopted family. These two have largely lived outside with little to no socialization, and will be cared for and trained by a dog trainer until they’re ready for their new perfect home. With their rehoming fee, I’m offering an extended 6 week training package and lifetime support.

Your donations will go towards supplies such as leashes, harnesses, vet bills, food, kennels, and time off in order to train and transition these pups for their new home.

These two are looking for an active family who would like to take them on hikes and adventures and are knowledgeable about the breed. R***r is outgoing, while Kimber is sweet but timid.

Read more about them here: https://www.fitzscanineconsulting.com/foster-train
