Some moms and daughters are very close for life... and that is sure the case for these two. Annie and her daughter Ashoka are young adult cats who sure do love each other. They play together, sleep together, seek attention together, and sure make a good match for entertainment for a working adult home while they are alone. Annie and Ashoka are cat friendly and had some exposure to dogs, but limited. They prefer a calmer home with windows to sunbathe in, laser lights toys to chase, and someone who likes cat cuddles. They are spayed, vaccinated and wormed, ready to adopt. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions.

Atticus is a middle aged to senior mixed breed, about 45 pounds, who has a tough past but he sure doesn't show it. Atticus came from Mexico and was badly hurt, left to heal on his own. He had a broken pelvis and broken leg that healed on it's own. He is pain free, but sometimes moves a little funny as the bones healed together at different lengths.  Maybe that's why he enjoys a soft bed and a warm loving home so very much. He is always happy. He loves to chase the squirrels and enjoys watching the birds at the bird feeder.  He doesn’t bark or growl at the birds, he just sits on the couch and watches them like it's dog TV. He likes to lay on the couch and will cuddle with you if you invite him. He loves to sleep in bed with his fosters as well, no matter how little space there is- there is always space for him, in his opinion. Atticus is a smart dog who responds very well to training. He enjoys other dogs, meeting people, and plays well with others. He is well house trained and crates when alone, although is graduating to more free reign then also. He's just a very good boy who deserves his own home. He's past due for it. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions.

Bandit is learning the house training ( previously an outside dog) quickly, and crates well when alone. He seeks out affection from everyone, walking with Bandit is a sure way to meet people and make new friends. He is playful, loves having a yard and a canine playmate, but would also be ok with dedicated walks. He is just under a year old and about 20 pounds.

Bowie is a Beagle with some baggage. Cute as can be, this young adult Beagle has a lot of Beagle traits (the bay, the enthusiasm for long sniffing walks, the passion for food, and wily smarts) but came to us with some serious resource guarding issues. He went through behavior rehab and is doing wonderfully, but without an experienced dog owner will revert back. He used to guard food, items he thought were his, and his sleeping space, and would react with a bite. At this point, in foster care, he allows us to handle him all over, take food and treats away, and move him. He needs an experienced owner to continue boundaries, training, and kind firmness. We adore him, we have no issues right now (except with cats, he hates cats). Bowie is house trained, crated when alone, loves walks, would do best with a fenced outside area, and we are highly recommending continued training classes. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com if you can give Charlie a great home. You can get a head start on the process by filling out the application above.

Please email kladams4545@gmail.com if you can foster or adopt Brooks as a single dog home. He loves people.

ChaCha is a 7 year old female Chihuahua seeking a home who loves Chihuahuas. She is social and outgoing, loves walks, loves laps and attention. ChaCha is house trained and kennel trained, but in a new setting was having some excited dribbles happening, so we expect she will in a new home as well. She is good with other pets but does need to be fed in her crate-- food is not for sharing, in her opinion. She is a fun and loving little dog. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions.

Requirements (no exceptions):
• Physically fenced yard
• Another active dog in the home
• Prior herding-breed experience
• Applicant specifically seeking a dog with agility, rally, obedience, or sport potential and experience training high-drive dogs

Are you an active household looking for a high-energy dog who can truly keep up with your lifestyle? Are you specifically seeking a dog with potential for agility, rally, obedience, or scent work? If so, Diesel may be the perfect match.
Diesel is a young Border Collie / Sheltie / Australian Shepherd mix (best guess) searching for a home committed to helping him reach his full potential. He is highly food-, toy-, and treat-motivated, eager to learn, and thrives with training. Diesel has a strong play drive—fetch is his favorite activity, and he almost always has a toy in his mouth. He is constantly on the move and always ready for his next adventure.

Diesel needs an experienced home that understands the mental and physical demands of high-energy herding breeds. Daily structured exercise and enrichment are essential for him to thrive. He is housebroken and crate trained and currently lives peacefully with other dogs, cats, and older children in his foster home. While he does well with kids, a home without young children is preferred; older, well-mannered children would be fine.

Diesel can be a bit nervous when meeting new people in unfamiliar environments, but once he feels comfortable, his confident, fun personality shines. A secure, physically fenced yard is mandatory—Diesel is not a candidate for tie-outs or leash-only exercise and will escape if given the opportunity. He would greatly benefit from another young, energetic dog, as he spends much of his time actively playing and wrestling with his foster siblings.

Diesel thrives in a busy, active home and loves being on the go. He is ideal for someone excited to continue training a high-energy dog and put his drive to good use. Bonus: he also loves to swim!

We offer a two-week trial period on all adoptions. If you believe your home may be a great fit for Diesel, please complete an application at:

Emmy is a Lab/ German shepherd mix, 3 years old. Emmy loves to snuggle and also thinks she is a lap dog. She has an easygoing, go with the flow nature, but also loves to play(like a toddler)- especially with her stuffed squirrel. She can be timid around new people but once you show her she’s very affectionate and craves attention. Emmy loves walks at night since it’s less stressful for her with less sidewalk traffic, and she also does fine playing in the yard. She does live with another dog but doesn’t care for random dogs out and about. 
She lives with 3 kids she adores. She loves them a lot and loves to be by their side, especially to get those belly rubs and butt scratches. Once she finds a comfy spot on some blankets and pillows when she sleeps or naps she will snore away! Emmy is a dog who doesn't make the best first impression, but her loyalty and love to her family is limitless. She is house trained and kennel trained.

Harriet is available 12/14.  Please do the application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

❄️✨ A Little Holiday Magic From Hopscotch ✨❄️

On snowy December mornings, when the world is quiet and cozy, a tiny bit of holiday magic comes trotting through the house—Hopscotch, the 16-lb Boston Terrier mix who believes wholeheartedly that he’s Santa’s smallest (and most dramatic) helper.

This little guy is a mama’s boy through and through, happiest when he’s tucked in close or being carried around like the baby reindeer he insists he is. He’s shy with new people—especially men—but never scared, just politely unsure until he warms up.

Hopscotch is still learning the art of housetraining (adulting is hard, even at the North Pole), but he makes up for it with charm, silliness, and the cutest little play vocals you’ve ever heard. His wrestling sessions with his bestie Torie sound like festive gremlins celebrating in the next room.

🎁 Holiday Magic Powers:
✨ Can turn any human into a certified baby-wearer (he loves being carried like a tiny prince)
✨ Performs “shy but charming” around new men… unless you’re Mom, in which case he’s glued to your hip
✨ Working hard on housetraining (adulting is a journey, not a destination)

This season, Hopscotch is hoping for a home where he can wiggle into someone’s heart, curl up under the twinkle lights, and bring a little more warmth to the winter.

Because every holiday needs a little magic… and Hopscotch has plenty to spare. 🎄✨🐾 Please do the application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Jack is a 9-month-old neutered male Lab mix, about 35 pounds and close to full grown. He’s the definition of happy-go-lucky—full of sunshine, love, and tail wags! Jack adores kids, gets along great with other dogs, and we suspect he’d happily befriend cats too, though he hasn’t met any yet. He’s both house-trained and kennel-trained, making him an easy addition to the right home. Jack would thrive with an active family who enjoys daily walks and playtime—but don’t worry, he’s also a champion snuggler who loves to cuddle up when the day is done. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion, Jack might be your perfect match.

Meet Jack #2 (please reference #2 when applying, we have two Jack's right now), an almost 12-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a tender heart and so much love still to give. Jack has been deeply cherished his whole life and is now looking for a new person after the passing of his beloved mom.Even during a difficult time, Jack greeted emergency workers with hopeful tail wags and was always polite and gentle with visiting nurses and caregivers. That same love and trust in people is still very much a part of who he is. Jack is used to a calm, adult home and would be happiest as an only pet, though he’s shown friendly curiosity toward other dogs while out and about. He’s a little pudgy—he loves treats, and they were one of the ways his mom could show love when she wasn’t able to do much more. He is house-trained, adores cuddling, and is accustomed to having someone with him most of the time. Right now, Jack is grieving. He looks for his mom and cries, and he will need a kind, patient person willing to offer grace and reassurance as he adjusts to this new chapter. Jack is a loyal, gentle companion who just wants to be near his person again—and he will return that love daily. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com

Katie ( Torti) and Kirby ( tabby) are a bonded pair of sibling cats about 9 months old seeking a home together. Previously street cats who had to avoid humans to stay alive, they are coming around well in foster but remain shy, and need an adopter with some patience to give them time but also persistently pet them daily so they start to seek it out. They are not at all mean, just cautious. Kirby has started seeking some love time. They use the litter box, are happy in a small home, and with someone committed to building their confidence they are going to thrive. They are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, wormed, chipped. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions. If you think your home may be a good fit for them, please fill out an application at www.homewardboundrescue.com/application/cat

Koala and Boo were rescued off the streets, both pregnant, and these very young sister cats ( or mom/daughter?) raised their litters as a combined unit. They have been in foster care since May 2025, building trust and bravery and learning how incredible it is to be house cats. Favorite activities are laser lights, watching the fish tank, chirping for food, chasing kitty catnip balls, and snuggling up at night. These two are tricky because making a good first impression is not something they will do. They hide from strangers ( survival skill they learned as outside cats) and it will take a few weeks for them to warm up--- but when they do, you're in their circle for life. They are unafraid of dogs, love other cats, not used to kids. They are VERY bonded and you never see one without the other. It's going to take an adopter with some patience as they settle, but they are so worth it. Please consider them. You can email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions. If you think your home may be a good fit, please fill out an application at www.homewardboundrescue.com/application/cat

Louisa is a middle aged, mid sized mystery mutt who has been in foster for a year now. She came in with her puppies a year ago, and they all went to new adventures. Louisa is waiting her turn, and needs a special family with dog experience to find her. She is reliably house trained, crates very well for the workday, listens well and respects/responds to limits and boundaries. She enjoys the company of most dogs, although one senior female at her foster she is overly bossy with. She is good with cats. Louisa would thrive in an adult home who can manage her with men. She was previously very abused by a man, which is why she was taken away, and it takes her awhile to warm up to new guys, but she does and then loves them. However, on walks, with company coming over, etc she is not trusted with men she doesn't know. If you can manage that one part, she is otherwise very enjoyable to live with and love. She's silly and very cuddly and listens well. She would do best with a fenced yard and when she has her daily visits to the hobby farm, she is in heaven and does very well there. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com

Mama is a young female kitty who had babies and did a great job mothering them... and is now ready for her new forever home. She likes pets and short-term cuddles, allows herself to be picked up and held, but prefers to have the love and attention for short bursts. She's got a sense of humor, a playful streak, and a loyalty to her person. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com

Mama Wren was a previously feral stray cat on the streets of Minneapolis, working to keep her babies alive. She's seen a lot and carries some baggage, and requires a very patient person to take her in. She avoids people still, prefers to watch from her cat tree, and is just starting to tolerate some touch, although does not like new people, nor being picked up. She is very happy with her small bedroom and limited space, too much freedom scares her. If you have a spot for the under dog ( under cat?), she's your girl. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com.

Mandarin is an adolescent, very slightly built affection seeking orange kitty. He's pretty petite at about 6 pounds. He LOVES other cats and is happiest when another feline friend will give him the time of day, and bonus if they play! He was shy at first but now is the first to ask for pets and attention. In fact, given a choice between food/treats and pets, he chooses pets every time. We know he will be shy for the first week or two in a new place, but he warms up quickly. He also is a champion toilet paper unroller in case you need some excitement. He is neutered, vaccinated, wormed and chipped. His ideal home would have another playful kitty for him.

She has been treated for heartworm with the injections, and is ready for her new home. Please do the application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

We can’t figure out why this little guy is still in rescue. He’s non-shed, he’s very well housebroken, he walks like a dream on the leash, and he gets along great with every human, dog and cat he meets.
Some people say it’s because his teeth stick out. We think it makes him extra adorable.
Marlo is about 4 to 5 years old and is a Shih Tzu mix. He’s got some longer legs on him, but there’s not much to his body, he’s pretty slender. The way he eats he’s trying to make up for that. Marlo doesn’t bark often, but when he does, we see the one negative about him… The sound of his bark is terrible. He mostly does it when he’s excited when people get home.
This little dog is one of the easiest dogs in the world to live with with and his happy and loving personality, makes him the perfect cuddly companion
He does have some genetic wonky back knees that caused him no pain, but he looks a little funny. Sort of like a bowlegged cowboy.

Nika is a sleek, agile, athletic and affectionate puppy who shows some solid training already down ( house and kennel training). She loves to run and chase play with the other dog at her foster home, and it shows like a herding breed mix. She leans into her person for affection and is quite eager to please. Nika is jumpy with loud noises and fast movements, which leads us to believe that a quieter home is ideal, and one without all the typical city chaos. She would thrive with a fenced yard, continued training classes, and a dog friend to run and chase with her. Nika has lived with cats also.

Sweet sweet Odie is an 8 year old neutered male Border Terrier type mix, 11 pounds of pure gentle love. He has grown up with cats and does well with other dogs, preferring dogs who want a companion over a playmate-- he's too dignified for wrestle and chase play he thinks. His owners worked 12 hour days so he uses potty pads if alone and is also outside trained. He LOVES walks, that's when he is happiest. Odie is available 1/31

Penny is a 3 year old petite boxer/lab mix weighing about 38 lbs.  She is a shy, timid girl looking for a quiet home with a confident, patient person that can build her trust.  She enjoys getting attention and being told what a ‘good girl’ she is.  Penny loves to run and requires a yard with a minimum 5 ft. fence.  Loud noises (thunder, fireworks, etc.) are stressful for her and she will run or hide anytime she is frightened.  Penny would do well as an only dog.  She can be easily overwhelmed in a group (no dog parks) and prefers to play with a submissive male dog about her size or larger.  She is too rough with cats, so no small animals for her, including small dogs.  Penny is reliably house trained, walks nicely on a leash, and crates well for the workday.  Her crate is her safe place. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com with questions. You can find the preadoption application at www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Meet Penny, the 8 year old Terrier mix seeking an adult home where she can be spoiled and loved.  Penny is leash trained and absolutely loves walks and being out and about. Penny does well with dogs off leash, for example, she loves the dog park0 but, she does not do well if she feels restrained on a leash around other dogs. This means she would thrive in an area with not a lot of sidewalk dog traffic. Penny is loyal and loving but would do best in a home with adults only, preferably a female owner. Penny is house trained. She never chews or destroys things when left alone and does not have any accidents. She is very well behaved and left to free roam the home when alone. She's affectionate, smart, silly and loving. Please do the application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Perry is a young (about one year old) German Shepherd mix with lots of energy and an even bigger heart. He’s always ready to run, play, and learn new things – and he’d thrive in a home that loves an active lifestyle. His ideal home has a fenced yard so he can run at his heart’s content. His favorite way to exert energy though is to play fetch with the kong – be sure to stock up because the more the merrier! Perry enjoys going for walks and while he pulls on the leash at the beginning of the walk, once he gets into the groove, he walks well. He is kennel trained and is crated overnight and during the day. Perry is housebroken in his foster home, though he may have accidents in a new home environment.

Perry is an energetic pooch who’s still learning how to express excitement appropriately, so he can be a bit jumpy and mouthy at times. He’ll need plenty of physical activity, mental stimulation, and ongoing training to help him grow into a well-mannered best friend. He needs to have slow introductions to other dogs and will require extra time, patience, and space when he is introduced to resident dogs (we recommend slow introductions in small steps). If you are interested in adopting Perry, he will need to meet your other dog prior to being adopted to ensure it is a good match. Cats look like an afternoon snack so no cats for Perry. *Perry came to Homeward Bound due to extraordinary circumstances. He was living in unsanitary conditions and lacked appropriate socialization and health care.

Rigby is a neutered male  9 year old Hound/Bully mix who is a laid back mellow fellow, happy to lounge around and be your companion. He is dog friendly although after being attacked on a walk by an unleashed dog, he does prefer meeting dogs off leash. Rigby is house trained, not a chewer, doesn't bark often.

Rosey is 9ish month old, 40lb Lab/Shepherd cross that came to rescue after being seriously neglected & living the first part of her life outdoors. She has quickly become accustomed to the finer things in life like the couch, snuggling, going for walks, playing fetch & getting regular meals. This girl LOVES other dogs & is her foster parent's constant shadow. She is happiest sleeping with her foster dad or playing tug with her foster French Bulldog brother. She is 100% crate trained & potty trained on a schedule but her new home should expect a couple of accidents at first. While she doesn't currently live with kids, her foster's niece visits frequently & she has met a couple other kids & worships the ground they walk on. She can be a bit of a bulldozer (one of her nicknames is Rozer Dozer), so kids 8+ or kids that are experienced with dogs would be best suited for her. Rosey is one of those dogs that's just happy to be with her people & doing whatever they are. She would do great with a single person or a family who is looking for a constant companion & willing to work on a little more training with her. She is picking up on training & commands but it's still a work in progress. She absolutely loves sleeping in bed at night & cuddles right up next to her foster mom. She isn't much of a barker other than when you get home from work & she knows she is going to get fed. She has been introduced to several cats & has done well but we are not sure how she would d0o living with one & may play a little too hard for a kitty friend. Rosey has been in her foster for over a month & has only gained some weight but hasn't gotten any bigger, so although she may look like a mini Mastiff, we think she is fully grown & is the perfect size. Ideally we would love to see this girl end up somewhere with a fenced in yard &/or another playful dog to burn up some of that puppy energy she has still. A portion of her adoption fee has been sponsored & she will go home with a brand new wire kennel if needed. If you think you are the right fit for this goofy girl please fill out a preadopt & then email Katie M shaspring@live.com with any other questions!

Sachi is a little orange and white female kitten who is the only survivor of her litter, rescued from outside when they were ill. She is very healthy now, a spunky and sweet little kitten who has some major hero worship on the grown cats at her foster. She might be a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly. Sachi would love a home with an older cat to follow,or a playmate. She's a quieter kitten by nature, a little bit of an old soul. She can curl in your lap and purr for hours. Her adoption fee includes spay, vaccine series, worming and chip. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com

Scout is a very mellow, polite, well behaved senior Boxer mix seeking a calm home. He is incredibly patient with kids of all ages, does well with other dogs, and is reliably house trained. He is also trusted loose for the workday and chooses to nap the day away. He loves being on the couch, sunbathing in the yard, short walks and having his neck and jowls rubbed. He's just a very sweet, easygoing 10-11 year old looking for his retirement forever home. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com.

Sourpuss is a grumpy tiny little cat who is angry at how her life turned out so far. We first saw her crammed into a carrier with multiple kittens being given away to anyone who would take them, and later discovered dumped outside an area apartment building after they couldn't give them all away. She and her tiny kittens were rescued, but she is NOT used to the chaos and noise of rescue. She's a tiny little cat, about 6 pounds, tiger with beautiful big white patches. She is spayed and vaccinated and healthy and ready for a quiet home. Sourpuss is tolerant of the other cats, hates the dogs, hides when kids come over, and we had to wait for pets until it was on her terms. She politely keeps her claws sheathed when she swipes, and has stopped swiping us and grudgingly enjoys the pets, but in this busy environment she is unhappy and craving a calm, quiet home who will give her a little space and let her love them as she settles. We feel positively that she will start to seek affection in a dog free, kid free home. Sourpuss would love a foster or adopter. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com

Spooky was rescued from a stray cat life, outside, near Halloween, which is how she got her name.... and she is a little slow to trust new people, but she does warm up. She would love a calm, quiet home where she has a little time to warm up and then she is a total love. She does very well with other cats and is used to dogs also. Spooky will pay back the human who chooses her with a lifetime of loyalty. Spooky uses the box well as well as the cat scratcher. Her adoption fee includes spay, vaccine series, worming and chip.

Stewie is a 6-9 month old Jack Russell Terrier/Doxie mix, a little livewire with a very happy attitude who is desperately hoping for a new home with a fenced yard and another playful dog, or someone who runs daily and can take him, and someone to work his sharp little brain also. He would thrive with agility or obedience. Stewie is very much a puppy still, working on house training and is crate trained for the workday and overnight. He lives with cats and enjoys a half hearted chase if they run, but it's all in love. Stewie has a lot of experience with small kids also. He is about 15 pounds right now, and seeking a home who loves adventure and fun like he does. Please do the application at https://www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Tallulah, a locally rescued Mastiff mix, has some adoption hurdles, but she also has some adoption highlights she'd like us to share. This gentle giant is the biggest soft hearted marshmallow you will ever meet, and really loves being home, familiar space, and routines. That being said, she loves her walks and does very well on them, although requires a walker stable enough to hold her leash steady if something scares her. She is very well house trained, loves to chew and play with her toys, and acts like a puppy when she's happy. She is positive the couch is just her size and loves to nap on chairs and couches. Tallulah has hip dysplasia already, and it shows up in her gait ( she waddles a little) and enjoys running. She also does steps easily. For right now, we are doing joint supplements, keeping her weight down, and continuing walks to keep her muscle mass steady. She may need pain meds as she ages, but at 4 years old, she's doing just fine now. We figure someone out there has a soft spot for a damaged yet joyful big dog with a marshmallow heart.

If you are looking for the sweetest and most laid back gentle giant,  look no further.  Tilly is 87 pounds of sweetness.  She is lazy,  and much prefers being inside to being outside.   She loves air conditioning and the warmth of her dog bed.  Tilly came up from Mississippi heartworm positive and went through treatment like a champion.  Heartworm-free, healthy, and happy describes this loving girl.  She isn't a fan of walks,  prefers strolling around the yard and getting back near her human.   Tilly is 4 years old, fully vetted and house trained.  Her current Momma is moving overseas and looking for the perfect home for her.

This holiday season, while other pups are dreaming of treats and toys, little Torie is discovering her true winter magic.
Because the moment the first snowflake hits the ground, this 6-month-old German Shepherd/Corgi pixie transforms into… The Snow Sprite of Minnesota.

She twirls. She prances. She zooms in sparkling circles—so enchanted by the snow swirling around her that she sometimes forgets she went outside to potty. (Snow magic waits for no one.)

Her charm doesn’t end there:

✨ A shy girl with a glowing heart.
Torie takes her time with new people and new dogs, but once you’re in her circle, she loves you with quiet, devoted warmth—like a candle glowing in a frosty window.

✨ A tiny enchantress with big personality.
Yes, this is the same Torie who watches Hell’s Kitchen with rapt fascination, especially the moments when Chef Ramsay gets beeped. Her sense of humor? Immaculate.

✨ Petite & perfect-for-anywhere.
Just 18 lbs at 6 months, she’ll stay on the smaller side—a perfect companion for snowy walks, cozy coffee runs, and holiday adventures.

✨ Learning her spells.
She potties outside (as long as she remembers she’s there for business), sleeps quietly in her crate at night, rides well in the car, and has been polite around cats.

This winter, Torie isn’t wishing for mountains of presents—just a warm home, patient hearts, and a snowy yard where she can dance like the little winter sprite she is.

All she wants is a family to share her very first Howlidays with. ❄️🎁💛

Truffle is an adolescent male tabby and white kitty who was born on the streets of Minneapolis, and taken into foster care as a kitten. He is an active, playful, treat motivated young cat who will be a little shy and cautious at first with new people and a new place, but comes around with promises of food and toys. Truffle loves other cats and spending time being a playmate and companion to them. His ideal home would have at least one playful cat, if not more. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com.

Tsireya is a 3.5-month-old red merle Australian Shepherd (mix) puppy with a resilient spirit and a heart of gold. At just three weeks old, she and her siblings were tragically thrown from a car window, but thanks to quick action and wonderful fosters, Tsireya was rescued and given a second chance. She is also a parvo survivor and is now current on vaccines, healthy, and thriving. Tsireya is fostered with kids and other pets and is a social, smart, people-pleasing puppy. She is learning house training, crates when alone, and loves engaging with her people. As a working-breed puppy, Tsireya needs an adopter who understands the importance of daily mental and physical stimulation, including training and structured exercise. A single family home with a yard space and an adopter committed to the needs of an active herding breed who is ready to invest time in her continued training and development. Tsireya would do best in a home with another playful dog to play with and a bonus would be kids to keep up with her energy. She does have double back dew claws, which is a trait most commonly found in livestock guardian dogs like Great Pyrenees, so she likely has some mixed in there as well. If you think your home may be a good fit for Tsireya, please apply at www.homewardboundrescue.com/preadopt

Wooper is searching for a new home after her owner was hospitalized. She was previously adopted from us and very, very loved, and sadly both her older adult humans have had medical incidents that mean hospitalizations and being unable to care for Wooper. She's a 45 pound mixed breed, a very good girl seeking a calm home. She is reliably house trained, doesn't chew, loves walks but is also ok just being a homebody if she has a yard. She rarely barks and is a polite, well behaved girl. Wooper LOVES car rides. She is tolerant of other dogs but doesn't love them, and has lived with cats. She looks at kids the same way-- she doesn't go out of her way to share space with them, but she's been tolerant when visiting. Her ideal home is being a single dog in an adult home who wants an easy, homebody mid size dog to live with. Please email kladams4545@gmail.com if you wish to foster or adopt.
