Story
My wife and I adopted Wiggles from the Idaho Humane Society. The previous owner said she had a ton of behavioral issues, but we saw virtually none of them. When not in a contained yard she should be on a leash as she has tried to run a time or 2. She's very lovable, loves being snuggled and petted, loves treats. As much as we would love to hold onto her, current life makes it hard. I leave the house at 7:15am and back and forth to work is 45 min each way, so it can be 12+ hours her not having attention. My wife is battling cancer and currently is very weak and cannot give her the care she needs while I'm away. It is NOT due to behavioral issues. She is kennel trained and usually sleep in one at night. Loves walks. Overall an A+ girl!

Story
Looking for a beautiful dog? How about a smart dog with lots of energy for walks, hikes and play? You’re in luck: Bandit has it all. Besides being gorgeous, he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and receiving preventative. He’s still young, and has puppy energy (yes, that means lots of toys to keep him busy, besides an organized plan to make sure he gets plenty of exercise.). He’s smart, affectionate, and loves attention. He responds well to positive training methods and learns fast. He does not do well with cats, but loves people of all sizes.

Story
BMAR pulled 55 dogs in 1 day that were set to be euthanized in April of 2024. Barney has been mistreated, abandoned and neglected. He had distemper as a pup and was not treated...thankfully the only side effect he has from his death defying ordeal is a pointy head. He arrived after a long transport with a serious flu virus...again, untreated. Very sad...because with medications and vaccines...Barney healed right up and has never been sick again. No allergies, no skin issues...just a healthy happy boy. What a difference it makes to just treat our dogs correctly! Barney is a super friendly dog...he is fine with dogs, cats, people. He is tall and leggy but weighs a light 35 pounds. He is crate trained, house trained, active and yet ready for a cuddle. Not a super barker but he is alert and aware. His mini shepherd heritage makes him very smart and easily learns new routines. He is just a really good boy looking for that perfect home.

Story
Two siblings came in together....abandoned and at a kill shelter. Gentle giants...well, we thought that was awful so a rescue went and pulled those boys to safety and transferred them to us! They have been delightful. Ranger wanders around the whole farm...he watches out for the livestock, plays with the pack dogs, looks for any people hanging out so he can use his wily ways to get a snack! He's friendly and very gentle....just a peach of a big old guy. He's ready for a home and gets along well with anything that comes his wa! Ranger has been here in rescue over a year, he is 2 years old now, weighs 80 lbs and is a very easy keeper. I am sure he is perfect for your home!

Story
Purebred English Pointers DISCARDED from a hunting club. These dogs came in under 40 pounds…they are very thin. That’s a hunting club thing…why train properly when you can just starve them into submission? Yeah, I know…go ahead and jump on me for that statement but I see it a 1000 times in rescue…always. These dogs should weigh 50 to 70 pounds depending on bone structure…so they are now being fed correctly. They crate well (of course -it’s a hunting club so that’s where they spend their lives), they are friendly but a bit shy. They walk well on a leash and have some training. Here’s what we know for sure…they are sweet dogs which is probably why they were discarded so young…all under 2 years. They are heartworm negative & fully vetted. They have nowhere to go. We need fosters and adopters and the situation is URGENT for them. We need to tag them, in order to make it happen, we need committed fosters and adopters for them. These are purebred beautiful English Pointers…. Can you pass this post around and see if anyone has interest? This is just a darn shame on so many levels.
