Story
Located in: Boise, ID Breed: Pug Mix Age: 6 Adoption fee: $35.00 + $17.99 microchip registration fee This handsome gentleman goes by many names. Stumpy, AKA Sir Stumpington, Mister Sir, The Stumpmiester, Stump, Bubba Dub, Lord of the Underbite and many other absurd nicknames. This charming lad doesn’t care what he’s called, only that you’re talking to him. Stumpy is a sweet boy with a delightful underbite and so much spunk. He is about 6 years old, with a nice blend of chaotic playful energy and a love of lounging and naps. He is the king of zoomies, loves to carry his food bowl around, and is notorious for stealing blankets off of chairs to add to his dragon hoard (his bed nest). Despite all of his charisma, Stumpy is in need of a very special adopter who is patient, caring and willing to keep working through his quirks. Unfortunately, Stumpy has some major beef with his butt. It may be neurological, behavioral, or trauma related, but Stumpy seems to not realize that his tail and butt are indeed part of his body. This leads him to squabble with his own booty on a fairly regular basis. He has been treated medically and there is no physical medical concern to his body that is leading to this behavior. He takes daily medication to help with stress related to this issue. As funny as it may seem, it has left some serious consequences for him. He traumatically injured his own tail leading to an emergency amputation. Things that are normally relaxing and fun for dogs like: eating, kongs, and any food related enrichment, are quite stressful for him. He will resource guard any food related fun from his own back end. He does best when eating with a soft cone on that blocks the view of his behind. He does better if you watch him eat as you can verbally tell him to snap out of it and he also feels safer with you watching his back. Stump was found as a stray and very little is known about his past. He was unaltered and was not potty trained upon arrival to Fuzzy Pawz and it is suspected based on his thick coat, state of his feet and marking behavior that he was an outdoor dog. He has made great strides in potty training and as long as you let him out at regular intervals, he tends to stay accident free. He may need some continued assistance with potty training when transitioning to a new environment. Sir Stumpington is currently in foster with both cats and dogs and has done well with both. He does need a structured introduction to new dogs but quickly warms up. He has done great with living with multiple dogs but is not a dog recommended to visit dog parts or off leash dog areas as he quickly can become overwhelmed. He has done well with backyard chickens and ducks. He would do best in an adult-only home. Despite all his quirks, this little guy makes up for it with his hilarious personality. He is incredibly smart, easy to train, and eager to learn more tricks and commands.

Story
Foster Location: Boise ID Age: Approximately 3 years old Breed: Chihuahua Mix Size: 22 pounds Vaccinated, microchipped Adoption fee: $57.00 + $17.99 microchip registration fee DO NOT email us, you must fill out an application if interested: Adoption Application: https://fuzzypawzrescue.com/adopt/adoption-application-2/ Betty is a three year-old roly-poly Chihuahua mix. She is energetic and lively. Betty was born without eyeballs, so she is blind. But her other senses are keen and well honed. Betty also has deformed legs that caused her gate to be slower and less efficient than your average four-legged creature. She learns her surroundings quickly and has even surprised her foster parent by teaching herself how to use the dog door. Betty goes to the park every day to get exercise. She loves being in the grass and basking in the sunshine. Goin go on walks is not Betty’s style. She would rather run for short distances and then sit down and rest. The couch is Betty’s favorite place to snuggle. She loves to sit in your lap, roll over onto her back and have her belly rubbed. She loves to be held and sometimes she gets to go for a ride in a dog bag that her foster parent wears around her shoulders. If it’s not too hot outside, Betty also enjoys sitting on the patio of a winery or a brewery. She is social and likes to be pet by everyone. Betty currently lives with a couple of other dogs. Sometimes Betty shows aggression by running toward a dog and growling. However, this behavior has gotten better over time and with continued love, and behavioral correction, it should continue to improve. Although crate trained, Betty will sometimes pee on soft surfaces that are not in her crate, like other dogs’ beds. So, creating a regular potty schedule will be important for Betty, she does GREAT with a regular potty routine. Betty has not been spayed yet as our vet was concerned about surgery at her size. She is currently on a weight management dog food, getting exercise and is losing weight slowly. The rescue will arrange to have her spayed once she hits a better weight at no cost to the adopter.

Story
Located in: Boise, ID Breed: German Shepherd Age: 8 Adoption fee: $75.00 + $17.99 microchip registration fee Sweet Tina came to Fuzzy Pawz Rescue when her elderly human fell and found herself in the hospital and realized she would no longer be able to take care of Tina. Despite them both being heartbroken Tina has adjusted well to her foster home. Tina is a super smart and sweet girl who gets super excited when she sees her people. She can be a bit jumpy when excited and she likes to give kisses. Tina has been around kids and has done well with them, but she could accidentally hurt a little kid in her exuberance so kids over 7 please. Tina is house trained, dog door trained, kennel trained, she knows some commands (come, sit, down, up, go to bed and shake). Tina has been known to bolt out the front door so she will need people who are aware of that. She is okay with most dogs but has been known to be snarky with some other female dogs. She is not good with cats and should not live with them. This girl is playful and fun, she LOVES to play fetch, chew on toys (only toys), likes to ride in the car and go for walks. She is a medium energy level and will need daily exercise. Note that she will patrol the fence and bark at strangers and other animals. Tina would be perfect for someone who wants an easy going dog who wants to be with you and go places with you.

Story
Hi there, I’m Teddy! I’m a big, fluffy 7-year-old poodle who’s been through some ups and downs, but now, thanks to my foster family at Fuzzy Pawz, I’m finally feeling like a happy, healthy pup again. Life was a bit scary for a while, with lots of moving around and some lonely times. I wasn’t getting enough food, and I was stuck in a crate for way too long. But all of that is behind me now—I’m all about love, cuddles, and finding my very own forever family! Now that I’m with Fuzzy Pawz, I’ve filled out to my proper weight, my coat is getting fluffier, and my tail never stops wagging! I’m finally feeling like myself. My foster parents say I’m one of the friendliest dogs they’ve ever met—I just love people and can’t get enough of being close to them. I follow my foster mom and dad around like their little shadow, and yes, I might be 60 pounds, but if you give me a chance, I’ll gladly curl up in your lap like a little lap dog. Cuddles are my favorite, and I have lots of snuggles to give! My favorite things? Well, besides people, of course, I’m all about meals, treats, car rides, walks, and fetch. I can go from being super relaxed indoors to full-on running and fetching mode outside. Having a yard where I can zoom around is a dream, but I’m also happy with long walks to burn off my energy. Sometimes, when I’m left alone, I get a little anxious—I think it’s because of my past. My foster family has been helping me feel safe in my crate, and I’m learning! I just need someone who understands that I’m working on it and will give me lots of love while I get there. I also have a strong urge to chase little animals, so I’d do best in a home without cats. Other dogs, especially older ones, are fine with me, as long as they are respectful of my personal space. So if you’re looking for a cuddle bug who’ll love you with his whole heart, then I think I might be the one for you! I can’t wait to find my forever family and share all my love, snuggles, and joy with them. Hope to meet you soon!

Story
Foster Location: Boise ID Age: Approximately 8 years old Breed: Border Collie Mix Spayed, Vaccinated Adoption fee: $35.00 Please email us at: rescue@fuzzypawzrecue.com if interested Onna’s human passed away and is now being cared for by neighbors but she needs a new home to call her own. This girl loves to chase a tennis ball or frisbee and loves to swim if you throw the tennis ball out in the water. Onna is s good with older kids and is ok with smaller kids; she just doesn’t know that she can knock them over. Onna is not very good with other dogs as she never learned how to act around them. She doesn’t chase cats, but is not familiar with them and may not adjust to living in a home with one. She is afraid of thunder but does okay if you put her in her Kennel that’s her comfort zone when it’s thundering. She needs someone who can work with her on her anxiety of being still and being able to pet her.
