Story
Hope is 2 1/2 years old. She was adopted as a puppy as a rescue. She is smart and sits, stays, and takes treats from your hand well. She is learning to leash. For two years all was wonderful with my other dogs. But this past month she is challenging our other female dog aggressively. She has never shown any aggression towards us or any person and my grand kids are great around her also. She has so much potential but needs a home where she is not challenged by another matriarch dog. She is great with our male dog. She kennels very well. Can sleep all night quietly in a kennel inside or in a dog house outside.

Story
Faithful companion material here! Classic German shepherd temperament. Beautiful Kami comes to us from a shelter where she ended up for a second time. The first time she was adopted was in 2018 as a young adult. Then her owner dumped her in early 2025. He was contacted via her microchip to come get her, he did not show up. Even though it appears she experienced extreme neglect the last 7 years of her life, she still remains a beautiful, loving German shepherd. A wonderful representative of the breed. Kami is about 8 years old and weighs approximately 65 pounds. Our veterinarian feels that the damage to Kami's ears was caused by untreated ear infections and fly strike. Poor Kami! Her ears are now healed and she's healthy. Kami has a broken toe that was never treated, but it does not seem to bother her. She also has pannus. This is a chronic inflammatory eye disease and she will require eye drops every day for the rest of her life. Please note: Kami is so good about getting her eye drops! It's more of an obedience exercise for her which her foster mom follows up with a treat. Good girl! For a dog her age, her teeth are in amazing shape. Kami is crate trained and housetrained and rides well in the car. She would very much like to ride along with you whenever possible, although she does need a boost up into her foster mom's vehicle. If Kami is not able to go with you, she's fine at home. She is good in the yard and would like to keep your yard squirrel free. She does not bark a lot. In fact, her foster mom has only heard her bark once. Kami knows how to "sit", "come" and "shake". Even though Kami enjoys time in the yard, she savors time indoors with her people and thinks the dog bed is the greatest invention ever! Kami gets along with other dogs. We aren't sure about cats. She loves people! All people. Kami is a HUGE tail wagger. What's that thumping noise? Well, it's Kami wagging her tail! She's a very happy girl with a wonderful attitude. Kami's adoption fee is $150. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and will come with her eye drops. If you are interested in possibly adopting Kami, please complete an adoption application located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Born Aug. 3, 2024, Parker acts like a blend of his Heeler-mix mom and something larger and more sensitive like the Golden Retriever or Collie DNA found in a Wisdom Panel test. He’s looking for a lot of love and affirmation, needing gentle guidance in learning commands. Parker soaks up belly scratches and kind words. He loves to play and needs fun exploration to burn off energy, yet also knows how to settle down and be a loving couch companion. He’s essentially house trained, good with cats and mentoring dogs, and will be loyal to the one who steals his heart. As of March, 2025 he weighs 30 pounds. Parker’s adoption fee is $300 and an additional deposit of $200 will be refunded upon proof of neuter, which is a requirement when he is between the ages of 7 and 12 months. If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Parker, please complete an adoption applicaiton located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Story
Sweet, energetic Ellie was found walking across a busy highway in Caldwell, Idaho, on July 20, 2024. Efforts to find her people came up empty, and on Aug. 3 she delivered seven pups. Veterinarians estimate her age to be somewhere between 1-2 years old. She’s now spayed and weighs 40 pounds. Ellie is house trained, quite affectionate and happy. She’s high energy, agile and quick, a fast learner, enjoys interesting outings and mentally stimulating activities. Ellie enjoys playing with other dogs, leaves cats to themselves; although, she will chase if they run. She eats up praise, tasty food, and lots of love. She wants to be with her people at all times and snuggles in close when it’s time to settle down. She loves to play with children who will throw toys for her to chase and who appreciate her energy. Wisdom Panel DNA on one of the puppies revealed 77% Australian cattle dog, single-digit percentages of Mini-American Shepherd, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, Collie. It is safe to say that Ellie is primarily Australian cattle dog. Ellie's adoption fee is $300 that includes spay, microchip and vaccines.
