Story
Ella the hippo! This chonky girl knows no strangers, she loves everyone she meets! Ella has spent the past few months in foster care after ending up in an overcrowded shelter where she was almost euthanized for space. Ella is middle aged, gets along well with other dogs, and is super sweet with every person she meets. Ella would benefit from a family that takes her for walks, and has a good amount of chill time at home. She's a go-with-the-flow type girl. Ella is with our rescue partner in Laredo, Texas, and will be transported to Idaho, Washington, Oregon, or Montana when she has a home waiting. There are no extra fees added. You can see an adorable video of Ella on her Petfinder profile. Spay, microchip, and current vaccines all included in her adoption fee.

Story
Sweet Fabiola! This girl is happy now, but she has lived a horrible, horrible life up until recently. According to locals, Fabiola lived outside of an abandoned store next to the highway on a border town in South Texas. She had litter after litter, sadly only very few survived due to being close to the road, and getting sick. Fabiola kept a positive attitude and always welcomed other street dogs, as well as people that would come to feed her and her remaining babies. Since moving to foster care Fabiola is LOVING life. She loves her girly harness, going for car rides, and especially loves the kids and other dogs in the home. She loves being the spoiled baby now. Fabiola really enjoys toys as well and gladly shares them with her doggy friends. Fabiola is going through heartworm treatment, which is covered by the rescue. It isn't contagious and is overall an easy treatment. She is still with her foster family in South Texas, but can come to Boise when she has adoption interest. Spay, microchip, heartworm treatment, current vaccines, and transport to Idaho all included in her adoption fee. Please start with the adoption application: freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story
Meet Jody, a gentle soul with a story that will tug at your heart. She was found months ago, abandoned at a dump with a fractured hip—left behind but not broken in spirit. Since then, she’s healed beautifully, both physically and emotionally, and is now ready to find the loving home she’s always deserved. Jody is as easygoing as they come. She has a calm, steady presence and takes life one nap at a time. With a medium energy level, she’s happy to join you on a walk or lounge beside you for hours. That said, she’s carrying a little extra weight these days, so she’s looking for someone who can help her ease into a routine of gentle exercise and healthy living—nothing too intense, just enough to help her feel her best. She gets along wonderfully with everyone—dogs, cats, and kids alike—and her loving nature shines through in every tail wag and soft gaze. Jody is a quiet companion, a good listener, and the kind of dog who doesn’t need much to be happy—just kindness, a cozy spot to rest, and someone to love her back. If you’re looking for a loyal, mellow, and deeply sweet dog to share your life with, Jody is ready to meet you. Her past may have been rough, but her future is wide open—and she’s hoping it’s with you! Spay, microchip, and current vaccines all included in her adoption fee.

Tiny but mighty, Medy is a 1-pound Chihuahua mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Found abandoned with a bloated, wormy belly, this little fighter has come a long way. After some much-needed TLC in foster care, Medy is feeling great—and she’s ready to take on the world (or at least your living room)! Medy is the perfect mix of sweet and sassy. She’s got plenty of energy and loves to play, but when it’s time to wind down, she turns into a world-class snuggler. Whether she's chasing toys, prancing around like she owns the place, or curling up in your lap for a nap, Medy brings joy in a pint-sized package. If you're looking for a pocket-sized best friend who’s full of life, love, and a little bit of sass, Medy is ready to wiggle her way into your heart!
