This is Urgent---Baxter arrives in Boise tomorrow.

Baxter- Needs a temp Foster that lives near Boise ID .
He is a 4 yo Mastiff that will be going to our Inmate Dog Training program at the ID Max Security prison. Baxter has been at the shelter since Oct 2024. He was secured by the police because he was left unattended in a hot vehicle for an extended amount of time. And of course who ever owned him never came to pick him up. Boo Hiss on people who do that!
Hoping he won;t need to be fostered more than a few days......but you never know. Ugh. He will be arriving in Boise ID on Friday (Jan 17th 2025) I really don't want to put him in a boarding facility, he's been through enough already.
If you can foster please call or text 208.861.3880 asap.

Urgent- Update-

Meatball. This young, goofy boy is in desperate need of a fur-ver home and family. We recently saved him from being euthanized. He was declining quickly at the shelter due to no love and limited human interaction. He is 1.5 yo, utd of shots, and in process of getting neutered. He is super playful and loves running around with the other dogs. His current foster reported a funny quirk! Meatball actually wipes his mouth after drinking water. Reduced dog slobber is a bonus! He also willingly goes to his kennel on command, which is rare as most Mastiff's know. ugh.
Currently being temporarily fostered in Athol Idaho, but needs new foster or new family asap. Please call or text 208.861.3880 asap. You can also complete the forms on our website idahomastiffrecue.squarespace.com. Plz do not comment or message on FB page as we don't get the opportunity to consistently monitor it.

Meet Miss "Molly from Corporate." Molly is about 3 yo and is the sweetest thing ever! She was supposed to go the Inmate training program, but her fosters believe that due to how sensitive she is...it may be detrimental to her. She does great with children and other dogs is introducted properly. Her fosters noted that she does have a high prey drive, so probably no cats. She knows a lot of commands and is content just laying down by her humans. She travels well and pretty mellow. Molly loves playing hide-and-go seek with her Fosters yound child. She is housebroken. She will flourish in a home with a family who can help with pulling on her leash and providing ample oppotunities for exersize. She is spayed and utd on shots.. Currently being fostered in Boise ID
To adopted please call or text 208.861.3880 (note we don't get a chance to check Facebook comments regularly- so plz text.) Or complete application on website idahomastiffrescue.squarespace.com.

She is being fostered by a wonderful dog trainer in Idaho Falls, who has graciously offered to provide 50% any future training if desired. Although we don't endorse gifting a puppy for Christmas......If you've looking for a Mastiff pup,
Wouldn't she be perfect with a great big red bow on her head! (and kudow's to the pet photographer who took this amazing picture!)

Update- We were able to secure fosters for all these dogs!!!

As you may have already heard...we were asked to start the Inmate Dog Training Program at the maximum security prison. We will have 5 dogs in the program. The dogs are arriving in Boise this Sat 12/14/24 between 11-1pm via transport.
The prison just contacted me and advised we now need to wait for paperwork to go thru legal, which could take a week or more. UGH!
So now we have 5 dogs arriving in 3 days......with no where to go!
Desperately needing 5 temporary Fosters, that live near Boise ID who can care for the dogs temporarily.

URGENT!!! Foster needed asap!
Rio is a 2 yo Mastiff/Staff. He is a BIG BOY! He is neutered and UTD on shots. He has been transferred around alot and needs a stable and consistent environment to decompress. He has done OK with other dogs in the past, but due to all the stress involved in switching homes, he has become intolerant. We need a Foster, or adopter that has no other animals in the household so they can focus on him. He needs lots of love and to help rebuilding his confidence and trust. He loves older kids. He will excel with a person who is active, and can exercise him.
It has been heart-breaking to witness his gradual decline due to the stress and not having a stable home.
Rio is currently in Nampa ID. If interested please call or text 208.861.3880 and request an adoption or Foster application.
