2. Samu

Adult (5 years 4 months) · Male · Boxer

Hi! I'm Samu, I’m a complete gentleman with soulful eyes and a heart way bigger than my wrinkly forehead. I'm looking for my forever family, and I promise I'm worth it.

My résumé:

• Potty trained (nailed it)

• Crate trained (I’m sometimes reluctant, someone has to protect the human beds)

• Great eater. I'll finish my bowl, then politely ask what's on your plate

• Toy enthusiast. Squeaky, fluffy, ropey, I love them all

• Expert snuggler, especially on beds. Yes, I know which pillow is yours.

My social life: My foster brother Jax and I are tug-of-war besties, and we could play all day. I'd probably be happiest in a home with another playful pup to wrestle with. I also met some neighbor kids and was a total gentleman!

Still working on: Leash walking. The world is just SO exciting, and I'm learning that we don't have to sniff all of it at once. A patient human and some practice will help me get there.

If you want a goofy, loving sidekick who will make you laugh, follow you everywhere, and keep your couch warm, I'm your guy.

3. Jaxon

Adult (5 years 5 months) · Male · Boxer

Hi there friend, my name is Jaxon! Are you ready to have a paw-sitively amazing life? Because I am fur-real looking for a couch to call my own!

Honestly, I'm not sure who I love more: other people, or other doggies, but I love meeting new friends, whether they are two-legged or four-legged. I really just cannot wait to meet YOU!

I really love going to the park and getting to play and run with the other pups, but I'm also just as happy to lounge around on the couch with you. I really just want my family around so we can all love each other. I'm still learning what kind of toys I like, but I will be sure to get back on here and update you.

I am really a lover-boy at heart. I am a world champion at wiggling my whole body with excitement. I'll show you the best of my wiggling abilities every single time you walk through the door and say hello to me again! I also show off my wiggling to new friends; did I mention I love meeting new people?

I would really love to be in a home with another dog. I really feel safe and comforted in the presence of a good friend, and possibly future sibling! I also love kids too, so if you have little ones in the family, I am very patient and promise I would be a fantastic brother to them. I have not spent too much time around kitty cats, but I don't have much of a prey drive. I'll let you know soon if I think I'd get along with your kitties.

I am fully house-trained and crate-trained - my crate is my safe and cozy space and I love to go in there to relax. I do need some guidance when walking on a leash, but I don't pull whatsoever!!

Thanks for reading about me so far, and I promise I will be back on here soon with more info for you! I hope I get to meet you and have a chance to show you some of my world class wiggles. If you have any questions so far, please reach out and ask to get in touch with my paw-sitively amazing foster, Riley.

Fur-real though, you're paw-some for taking the time to learn about me! I'm staying paw-sitive and hoping we can be friends fur-ever! HAVE A BOXER-RIFIC DAY!

6. Ursula

Young (1 year 8 months) · Female · Boxer

Well, hello there! My name is Ursula, and unlike the villain in

The Little Mermaid

, I’m really just a sweet girl looking for my happily-ever-after! I’m a playful Boxer who loves balls, having fun, and entertaining myself with my favorite toys. Fair warning, though: I’m a pretty serious chewer, so durable toys are definitely my love language!

I’ve learned that my crate is my safe space, and I’m potty trained, too! Since I spent time living outdoors before coming into foster care, I’m still learning about this big, exciting world and how to be the best family companion I can be.

7. Bella Rose

Female · Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed

Est DOB: 1/24/24

Weight: 11lbs

Bella

Rose is the perfect pint-sized companion with a heart full of love.

Bella

came into rescue with her puppies, while the transition was scary at first,

Bella

has truly blossomed during her nearly three weeks in foster care and is showing everyone what a sweet, loving little girl she is. When

Bella

first arrived, she was unsure of her new surroundings and needed a few days to decompress but was soon interacting with people and other pets.

New people can still make her a little nervous at first, but her curiosity and loving nature quickly win out and within a few minutes she moves in for pets and affection.

Bella

Read more about Bella Rose

loves attention and is happiest when she's close to her people. Whether she's soaking up cuddles, accepting treats for a job well done, or perfecting her lap dog skills, she wants to be part of the family. She has an adorable habit of hopping into your lap, turning around, and sitting back against you like a small child settling into their favorite chair. It's impossible not to smile when she does it!

She's food-motivated, eager to bond with those she trusts, and has a medium energy level.

Bella

tends to take her cues from the activity around her, happily joining in when it's playtime and settling down when it's time to relax. She sleeps quietly in her kennel at night and is comfortable being crated when her foster family is away.

Like many dogs who have experienced change,

Bella

still has a few things she's working on. Leashes can be a little scary, and car rides make her nervous, but she's making steady progress with gentle encouragement and patience. She is occasionally curious about toys, though she hasn't quite figured out how to play with them yet. We think she's saving that discovery for her future family to enjoy.

Bella

currently lives in a foster home with several other small dogs and enjoys their company. She seems to do well with most dogs and would likely thrive in a home with another friendly canine companion to help her continue building confidence. She has done well with children as young as 9 years old, though she'll appreciate a family willing to give her a little time to settle in and feel secure. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily curl up in your lap, lean back against you for snuggles, and remind you every day how rewarding a second chance can be,

Bella

Rose may be the perfect addition to your family.

Adopting a dog in Washington County

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
