Story
Liz, aka Lady Elizabeth, is an Australian Kelpie mix. She is approximately 3 years old and about 36 lbs. Liz is highly inquisitive and just the sweetest bundle of joy. We love this dog’s intensity. She is going to need an active family and lifestyle. She is a tough, resilient little dog. She is intelligent, eager and enthusiastic. Liz is great with other dogs! Though as an extremely social lady she occasionally gets a bit bossy, this results in her trying to herd her pals. She LOVES to play with her foster sister (a very dominant herder herself). They enjoy wrestling and will zoom around the yard with toys playing chase. Liz is housetrained and crate trained. She rides well in the car and loves going places with you. This social girl loves all people, occasionally is a little shy at first with strangers, but warms up quickly. We don’t know how Liz is with cats and she is probably a little too intense for young children. When Liz first came into rescue we noticed she was having trouble with one of her back legs, possibly from a previous injury. In November she had hip surgery (modified femoral head ostectomy) and is now fully recovered and has been released by her surgeon. This has not slowed Lizzie down at all, but due to this she is not a candidate for competing in agility. She would be great at other dog sports! It doesn’t impede her hiking and she doesn’t require medication or follow ups! When asked to sum up living with Liz, many things came to mind. I will miss her! She’s just a delight, cute and cuddly, rather an expert snuggler, but always up for a walk or play session. Her best characteristic is her happy energy. She enjoys her routine and will benefit from sticking to a more active life style. Since her surgery, she’s gotten even braver and her hilarious antics are going to light up someone’s life. She loves my female the most. They are always playing or cuddling. She’s hiked with a lot of my friends larger dogs and did fantastically (malamutes and vizslas). Definitely worth noting she is a passionate chewer. It brings her such joy! She can be a bit destructive with her chewing so we are mindful of things left on the floor. (We’ve only lost one slipper and after a redirect she has been the perfect house guest). She is insanely fast at learning and will just need some time to acclimate to her new home! She will come with some of her favorite toys! Elizabeth is a really easy keeper. She’s a true darling with the sweetest disposition. She deserves the best life! Liz's adoption fee is $350. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. If you are interested in possibly adopting Liz, please complete an adoption application located here: https://idawg.org/application.html

Story
*Please read full bio before applying* Meet Sweetie! This adorable older puppy is seeking her perfect fit. Poor Sweetie has been through a lot in her short life. She was found as a young puppy on the streets of South Texas next to her deceased brother who had sadly been hit by a car. She went to foster care where she thrived with older children, cats, and dogs. Sweetie is a homebody dog. She really enjoys relaxing in her space with her person. She is crate trained, dog door trained, potty trained, and is trustworthy in the home alone. Sweetie needs a family that is committed to her and will stick by her. Sadly she has been let down by humans for her entire life and is ready for her new family to show her the calmer, and more understanding side of life. Sweetie's ideal life would be someone that works from home or is retired. She enjoys other dogs, but resource guards food, so applicants with other dogs would need to show they're prepared to feed her separately until she learns there isn't a shortage of food or treats. Although Sweetie has done well with cats in the past, we are seeking placement without cats to try to make the best possible match. Sweetie would thrive as an only dog as well. She loves to play with her stuffies, and would benefit from training for confidence building when it comes to going for walks or outings. Sweetie tends to be nervous around kids, she's very much a dog that would enjoy a teenager or adult only household. She also needs a yard, apartment living isn't the best match for her. Sweetie is a wonderful and smart dog with a mellow and loving demeanor. Sweetie is fostered near Olympia, WA. Please start with the adoption application: freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story
Meet Lucy! At 2.5-3 years old, Lucy comes with good manners and a love for older children! Lucy joined our rescue when she was a puppy, but recently got into a scuffle with her doggy sibling, the family chose to return Lucy. Lucy is a happy and energetic dog that would love lots of exercise. Lucy enjoys toys and going for outings. She has always enjoyed playing with her doggy sibling as well. Since we don't know the cause of the scuffle, we are aiming to set Lucy up for success by requesting that she is the only pet in the home. This doesn't mean she can't go for social outings where there are other dogs. With big puppy eyes like hers, who else do you need anyways?! Lucy LOVES kids, she adores the grandkids that visit. Lucy is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccines. Apply here: freedomboundhounds.com/adopt

Story
Bo is a very sweet and loving dog. He is 2y8m old, neutered, up to date on all shots and microchipped. We adopted him 8 months ago. We are looking for a loving, energetic and patient family for Bo. Recently, our older male dog has become aggressive with Bo and we worry he might get hurt. Bo is somewhat timid. He does get along well with other dogs and people. May be a little timid at first, but warms up quickly We have tried several ways to combat his behavior of having accidents in our home. Often times, he is leery about going outside and when he comes back in, he has been known to pee and/or poop. We do not know how to stop this from happening. Our dogs have full access to a large fenced back yard and are allowed anywhere inside our home. We try our best to insure they have a safe and loving home. We feel like Bo is not particularly happy being with us. I do not have photos of Bo on my computer but can send by text or email.
