Story
Meet Papi, a sweet little gentleman with a big heart and excellent manners at 11 years young and 20 lbs, this Rat Terrier mix is the definition of easy living. Papi loves people just the right amount—happy to hang out, happy to snooze nearby, and especially happy to cuddle when it’s bedtime. He’s a champion sleeper who will gladly match your sleep-in schedule. Papi is generally a laid-back guy, but don’t let that fool you—walks and car rides are his JAM. He gets adorably excited when it’s time to head out, then settles into a nice, relaxed stroll (even easier when he’s walking solo). At home, he’s a total potty-training rockstar, uses the doggie door like a pro, and allows all handling with zero fuss. He’s lived peacefully with other dogs and mostly ignores them on walks, though cats are a no-thank-you for Papi. Toys are still a mystery to him, but he’s curious about crinkly ones and might discover his playful side with a little encouragement. Papi would thrive in a calm, loving home where he can enjoy daily walks, cozy cuddles, and all the love he so clearly deserves. Looking for a mellow best friend with a sweet soul and a cute little strut? Papi’s ready to meet you.

Story
Meet Zera and her name means 'new beginning.'Zera came to us through an act of kindness an owner surrender from someone who stepped up to help when her original family couldn't take her back. She arrived a little unsure of the world, but with patience, her true self has started to bloom.Sweet, loving, and gentle, Zera gets along beautifully with all the dogs in her foster home and was wonderful with kids in her previous home. She's crate trained, potty trained, and ready for a fresh start.She just needs someone willing to go at her pace and the people who do are discovering something really special on the other side.Her dream home has a yard to explore, a friendly and playful dog to call her bestie, and a patient person who loves watching a shy dog find her confidence.Her foster mom says it best: 'She is absolutely worth the patience.'What a little butterfly she is literally and figuratively!

Story
Gatsby and others came out of a hoarding home with too many dogs living in the yard. They were all very afraid of humans who let them down. He's a tiny feisty 9lbs, and loves water! In his foster home he gets along with other dogs big and small as well as cats! His furever home has to have a secure yard (he doesn't even know what a leash is lol), another dog, and adult humans with patience. It might involve a few meet and greets first so patience begins there.if you are interested in meeting any of our dogs, please answer some questions on our website at www.lovefordogs.org/adopt-foster so a volunteer can reach out.

Meet Nori! Nori is a part of the Bento Box crew saved from a severe hoarding situation. The last two months she’s been living it up in foster and is ready for a home to call her own!

Whether with another dog or a person, she loves to be close and nuzzle for naps. Nori is dog-friendly and loves to play with her foster siblings. She spends her days chasing and wrestling around in the yard. Nori is great with dogs similar and size and bigger, both male and female. Nori house, crate and potty-trained, making her move in ready!

Story
Meet Unagi! Unagi is a part of our Bento Box Crew that we recently saved from a horrendous hoarding case. After getting some medical care and TLC, he has upgraded into foster and has blossomed into the most amazing little guy! Unagi shy and scared of new people when he first came into our care, now he is friendly and sweet when meeting new people. Unagi is in the best foster home with plenty of foster siblings that are helping show him the ropes. He is very playful and loves getting to play with his foster siblings. He would love a playmate in his future forever home that has similar energy and play style to him. Unagi is currently working on his boundaries when it comes to his excitement and how to use the doggy door. Unagi would love an active home that can keep up with his youthful and spunky spirit with a fellow furry sibling. He'd benefit from a home that can continue some basic structure, routine and training.

As her foster mom so eloquently put it, this precious pup just wants to be loved. At five years old, she has lots of love left to give, so come be Hilda’s hero and adopt her today!
