Solstice is a puppy who loves to cuddle her head into anyone who will pet her. She does very well in cars and has been successful in the bath. She is a puppy and will require training and rules in the home for her to grow up to be her best self. A dog in the home who can teach her the ropes would be beneficial but is not necessary. She would flourish alone as well. Solstice needs to be supervised and will search for food if unattended (in garbage or on counters). She is very food motivated which is great for training. Love kids and cuddles. She would be a great addition to any home and is the perfect age to start training and keep being a wonderful pup!

House trained: working on it. Will go potty outside when taken but is still a puppy and learning to signal when she needs to go out.

Zach is close to as perfect as they come. We seriously could go on about him all day! He is an absolute joy to have around and will make a wonderful addition to a home. He is the perfect mix of playful and chill, and is the sweetest boy around. He is currently fostered with two dogs, similar in size to him, and has been fantastic. He wants to play from time to time, but is very respectful of giving the other dogs space when they aren't interested in a game of chase. Zach does very well in his crate, settling to sleep after some soft whining during the first few days. He appears to be house-trained too, as he has had no accidents in the house. He has been non-reactive on walks, but does pull quite a bit, so he will need some work with this. Zach absolutely loves tennis balls, and is happiest laying on the couch getting belly rubs, while chomping down on a ball. However, he does need to be supervised with toys as he will destroy them. He loves to zoom around the backyard, and the end of the day all he wants to do is sit beside you on the couch and doze off to sleep with his head on your lap. One things to note about Zach, is that he is a bit of a chunky dude, and needs to trim down. His new family will need to work on dropping about 12-15lb to get him to a healthy weight.

Name: Zach
Weight: ~77lb - body score 7/9, healthy weight is ~65lb
Age: 3.5 years
Gender: Male, neutered

Good with men: Yes

Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Unknown, no exposure
House trained: 90%
Crate trained: Yes, settles quickly after some quiet whining and does great
Resource guarding: None seen, but was previously known to guard his food from other dogs. He eats alone in his crate so cannot comment on whether he would gaurd food or not. There has been no gaurding of anything towards people.
Walks on a leash: Yes, but very strong and will pull
Energy level: Medium
Requires detached/single home: No
Separation anxiety: None seen
Barker: Average, but he is more of a whiner than a barker

Chuy is a Chihuahua with a personality that’s ten times bigger than his 10-pound frame. This affectionate little guy loves to cuddle and will happily claim your lap as his favourite spot. Chuy may be apprehensive about strangers at first, but once he has a moment, he is friendly and outgoing, wagging his tail and looking for affection. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes, enjoying playful interactions with pups similar in size to him. Though he has not lived with children, he does well with older kids and would thrive in a home where he can be loved and doted on.

Chuy has great manners, though he may bark in the morning to let you know he’s ready to start his day. He walks well on a leash, though can sometimes pull. Chuy is perfectly balanced with medium energy - he’s always ready for a bit of playtime or a walk but equally content to relax and snuggle at home.

The ideal home for Chuy would be one with older children or a retired family who can give him plenty of love and lap time. Whether as the center of attention or as part of a family with other dogs, Chuy is sure to bring joy and companionship to his new home.

Jaxx is having a sleepover at a temp foster home so he can catch the transport van in the morning - and his temp foster mama says that he is perfection!!

She says he has been quiet, super submissive, loves to play, doesn’t care about cats, loves the kids and gives gentle kisses. He doesn’t try to get on furniture even though this foster is okay with it. He went on a walk this evening and they were impressed with his leash skills.

He is a 10/10 good boy looking for a home!

Dude has perfected the adorable head tilt!

Dude is an energetic and playful young Jack Russell Terrier mix who’s ready to find a patient and loving forever home.

You can tell that he really wants to be a part of the family, but isn't quite sure where to start. He may start off a bit skittish and shy, but Dude warms up quickly with time and patience, especially when he’s given the chance to build confidence - and if treats are involved!

His ideal family will have the patience to help him grow into his best self while giving him plenty of love and structure. If you’re ready to embrace this high-energy, curious, and lovable pup, Dude is excited to meet you!

Hi! My name is Judd, but they call me Chicken Wing.

I have a unique trait—a deformity in one of my feet that didn’t grow in fully. But don’t let that fool you - it doesn’t hold me back!

I adore people, get along well with other dogs, and would be happy in a home with a medium-energy companion to share adventures with - though not required. When it’s time to wind down, I love nothing more than snuggling up for some quality couch time.

Loki needs a foster!!!!

👉 No other animals in the home or another well balanced dog his size or larger - no cats
👉 Kids 12+
👉 Familiar with high energy workings breeds or committed to learning and working with his needs
👉 Confident handler

Won’t you give Loki a chance? We know he has some quirks and will need some work, but he needs the opportunity to be in a home to learn his to be his best self. It isn’t his fault he has been failed.

Fostering isn’t forever, but will change his life…but you might just fall in love!

Can y’all please do us a favour and share this post? 🥺

Over 7,000 followers and not a single foster offer. We would super appreciate your help 🩵

Sharing our adoptable dog’s posts would be amazing too. You never know who might see it. We need to reach more dog-lovers!

This is our first group of rescues of 2025, and to be very honest, at this rate it’ll be the last for awhile. When we say fosters are the backbone of rescue and we do it without you, we mean it.

Let’s find these sweet babies homes. 🙏
