2. Tobleroni

Young (8 months) · Male · Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from American Fork

Who has four legs, one floppy ear, spots, and is ready to leap into your arms - I mean home? It's me, Tobleroni!

Read more about Tobleroni

I am a six-month-old Australian Cattle Dog and am looking for a family that can help me navigate this big world. I am still a little nervous with new sounds and things, but after the initial shock of new sights, I leap headfirst with excitement. I am learning quickly what I can and can't rush into. For example, I know I can't rush at the cat, and now we are nice playful pals, but I can rush towards the ball and play fetch! I am really fast in the backyard and love to run around with other dogs. I also love the support of humans as I learn so many new things!

I am learning some basics, like leash training, sit, off, and come. I definitely need to keep learning because I get pets and treats when I do. It also helps me use up energy and use my mind, which is important for me since I have a lot of energy and am pretty smart. I really like other dogs, but since this is all new to me, I need my own space for my toys and food at home. I love my kennel and only bark in there if I need to alert people to a frightening presence, like the mailman. I would do well as an only dog or with others, or even with a dog-savvy cat! Although I am a puppy and like to hop around, I am still a softy at heart and would do well with kids.

I can't wait to meet you! Apply today.

5. Quesito

Adult (4 years) · Female · Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from American Fork

Say Cheese!

Stop what you're doing and meet Quesito! This stunning girl is a 2 year old Chihuahua, whom we affectionately call Cheese. She earned this nickname by

1. Being happy and smiley ALL the time

2. She LOVES cheese (clearly)

Quesito landed herself in the shelter somehow, but that never got her down. She is smiley/happy girl that loves everyone! She bonds hard with her people, and wants to be with you on all your adventures!

She is potty trained and crate trained, although she would rather be cuddled up in bed with you! She does great with dogs and cats. She loves going on walks, playing with toys, and loves chasing after a tennis ball!

Read more about Quesito

She weighs in at about 20lbs, but she should be more like 15; so she probably needs to lay off the cheese a bit! But other than her love for food; this girl is honestly easy going and so loving!

6. Mr. Bojangles

Adult (5 years 1 month) · Male · Australian Shepherd (medium coat) · 13 mi from American Fork

THOSE EYES! THOSE EARS! THAT FACE! Meet Mr. Bojangles!

This five-year-old Australian Shepherd mix is as handsome as they come, but it’s his sweet personality that will steal your heart!

Mr. Bojangles LOVES people! He’ll greet you with a whole-body wiggle, then happily sit on your feet and lean in for pets. He’s also wonderful with other dogs and does well with cats! He is currently about 40 pounds, working toward a healthy weight of 45–50 pounds

A bit more about this sweet boy:

Read more about Mr. Bojangles

Loves people of all ages
Gets along great with other dogs
Does well with cats and mostly ignores them
Walks nicely on a leash
Crate trained
Food-motivated and eager to learn

Mr. Bojangles is still discovering the joys of home life! We suspect this may be his first experience living indoors since things like stairs and baths seem to be new to him. He’s doing great with potty training when kept on a schedule, and is already a pro at walking on a leash. Those crinkly poop bags, though? He’s still a little suspicious of those!

He’s got the love, the looks, and the sweetest personality. All he needs now is YOU! Could you be the one to show Mr. Bojangles what it means to be home for good?

7. Hollis

Adult (6 years 1 month) · Male · Chihuahua (short coat) · 13 mi from American Fork

Hi world, meet Hollis!

The sweetest 5-year-old male Chihuahua mix.

We're not sure what the first five years of Hollis' life were like, but it's clear they weren't easy. He came to us skin and bones, afraid of human touch and scared of just about everything.

So, we got to work on socializing him! We're happy to say that, even though Hollis is still cautious and will likely always be a bit of a scaredy-cat, he's doing SO well! He gets along great with dogs, cats, chickens, and goats. He even tries to initiate play with other dogs!

Read more about Hollis

Hollis bonds HARD with his human and will happily be your little shadow wherever you go. He loves sleeping under the covers at your feet, curling up in your lap, or lounging on the back of the couch while keeping an eye on the neighborhood.

He's crate-trained, potty-trained on a schedule, and has excellent house manners. He's full grown at about 12lbs, but his goal weight is more like 15.

Hollis is a fairly quiet boy, but get the pitch just right, and he'll happily howl along with music or squeaky toys!

It's been such a joy watching this sweet boy come out of his shell and flourish. And now that he's blossoming, it's time for him to find his special people!

If you have a little patience and a whole lot of love to give, apply to meet Hollis! I promise, you're going to love him!

re you looking for a new best friend? Hi, I'm Mabel May!

I'm a 9 month old pitbull mix and I weigh about 40 lbs. I am a goofy puppy at heart, and I love to play! I play with my friends, fetch in the yard, and love to run around squeaking my toys.

I’m pretty good on leash, just still learning. I’m a great listener and very food motivated too, learning more and more tricks every day! I’ll sleep in my kennel and go in when you ask, just working on my FOMO when you’re doing fun things in the house without me. I haven't met a lot of kids, but I think I'd do well with them.

I am a very well-behaved and a happy girl. I am both potty trained and crate trained, though I prefer sleeping next to my humans. I get along great with all the dogs and people I meet.

In the house, I am content just cuddling on the couch or lying on a soft bed. I love going for walks and love being outdoors. I am also treat-motivated and know basic commands like sit, stay, and give me five.

Could I be your next adventure, buddy or your snuggling partner on the couch?

Hi everyone, my name is Blaise and I am so excited to introduce myself to you!

Halloween is just a few days away and that kicks off the Holiday Season for the next

couple of months. My wish is to find my forever family so we can spend the holidays getting

to know each other and settle into my new life. Let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I am a 10 to 12 months old (best guess) male terrier mix and I weigh in at about 10 pounds.

My foster Mom thinks I may be Westie (West Highland) terrier mix but regardless of what

kind of mix I am how can you not love my cute little expressive face and those ears? My

Read more about Blaise

hair is pretty soft and I am getting used to being brushed. I am working really hard on my

house training and doing very well if kept on a schedule so a family that will continue my training will help me to be the bestest boy I can be. I have not been around kids yet, but I have never meet a stranger. Kids over 10 would be fine! I have figured out the routine here in my foster home and I sleep quietly through the night in my kennel. I love playing with the other dogs and I am even learning to play with toys but my favorite is chewing on the bones.

I am so happy that I even smile, that's right a big cheesy grin! The first time I smiled at foster Mom she thought I was snarling but nope, it is a real smile! Foster Mom says I like to talk to you as well, and why not? I have a lot to say. When I watch TV I tilt my head from side to side trying to figure out the plot of the show. I am pretty smart if I do say so myself so if you are looking for a quick study that is loyal as can be I may be the man for the job.

Young (6 months) · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from American Fork

NAYLANI, THE GENTLEST LIONESS IN THE PRIDE

Hi, I'm Naylani. I'm 6 months old, and I've been told I look like a little lioness, with a sunny golden coat and soulful eyes. Don't let the mane fool you, though. I'm all heart.

My days follow the true big-cat routine. First, I zoom across the savanna (okay, the backyard). Then I play until I'm tuckered out. Finally, I curl up in your lap for snuggles and belly rubs. I'm still growing into my paws, so I have some adorably clumsy moments. Grace is a work in progress, but charm I've already perfected.

Pride Report:

Crate training: Doing great. My den is my safe, cozy spot.

Read more about Naylani

Potty training: Making excellent progress.

Leash skills: Coming along nicely on my walks.

Food motivated: Very. I'll happily work for snacks, which makes me a dream to train.

Other dogs: I'm easygoing and gentle, and I happily share my toys.

Cats: I haven't met any yet.

A lioness sticks close to her pride. I'm a loyal girl who likes to keep my people in sight, and I can get a little worried when you leave the room. When something feels new or scary, I come straight to my humans for reassurance. I'm looking for someone patient who will help me build my confidence and show me that alone time is okay, because you always come back.

I'll thrive with continued training, structure, and routine in a loving home. In return, you'll get a devoted, gentle companion who thinks you hung the moon.

Hi, I'm Jetsam, but my friends call me Jet!

I'm about a 6 month old cattle dog mix, and I'm here to find a family to call my own! I weigh around 25 pounds right now, and I'll keep growing a bit more to be a good medium sized dog. I'm already neutered, so I'm all set to go home. I've got a mostly white coat, a tan and brown patch over half my face like a little pirate mask, soft floppy ears, and a big black nose that's always ready to sniff out what you're up to. You'll find some little tan polka dots hiding under my white coat too.

Read more about Jetsam

I'm a normal adventurous puppy who loves to explore, and I can't wait to learn how to be the perfect dog. I'm very playful with my fellow foster dogs of all ages and sizes and would love a canine buddy to romp with, but I also like my alone time by myself. A home with or without another dog would be just fine with me.

I've never met a kid or cats before but my foster family thinks I may do just fine with proper training and structure!

Oh by the way, my crate and potty training have already been started and so far I'm excelling at potty training and will tolerate my crate once I remember it's my safe spot I get to rest in!

If you're looking for a fun young pup to go on adventures and grow up with, I'd love to meet you. Please submit an application with Rescue Rovers, and let's start our life together!

18. Tally

Young (5 months 17 days) · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 13 mi from American Fork

Hi! My name is Tally! I’m a 5-month-old, 25 lb, lab mix baby girl! I’m hefty, hefty, hefty and also “OH SO LOVING!” I was built to last! You wanna run? I got you! You wanna snuggle? I’m on my way! You wanna eat lots of food together? DONE!

Read more about Tally

I’m pretty awesome around other dogs! I’m still a puppy, so I throw my weight around like I’m tiny—even though I’m built a little more like a furry paperweight. My foster mom calls me “dense.” I prefer “sturdy,” but apparently she has the dictionary on her side. I’ve had four foster brothers, and I held my own with every one of them while having LOTS of fun! My favorite buddy is a 50 lb black lab, and together we rumble, tumble, and occasionally forget where one dog ends and the other begins! I LOVE TOYS! ALL TOYS!

You know how some humans go to the bathroom in herds? That’s me! I will only go #2 in the grass if I have moral support. You don’t have to stand next to me (don’t make it weird…) but I like the bathroom “pack” mentality. I got your back, and you got mine! I’m not needy, I’m cautious during vulnerability.

Listen, I’m smart, but I’ve got a lot on my tiny plate right now—and I’m still learning how to eat off an actual plate. I’m adjusting to life behind metal bars (apparently it’s called a “crate,” not “puppy jail”), discovering that food belongs in a bowl, learning that the floor is not a bathroom, and losing teeth like it’s my part-time job. A girl can only handle so much personal growth at once… and yet, I’m still as happy as can be!

I sleep through the night for a full eight hours now, but it took some practice—and several important meetings with management. I firmly believe we should sleep in the same place, and your space always looks suspiciously like the spot I was meant to occupy. Don’t worry, I’m happy to let you borrow the edge. However, around 7pm please know that you and I will need to snuggle up close while I fall into a nice puppy slumber on your chest.

I haven’t met a cat yet, so I can’t promise I’d know the proper etiquette right away. “Gentle” is still a work in progress—I currently prefer the enthusiastic, full-body approach to friendship—but with patient introductions and a little coaching, I bet I could learn! I’d probably love kids too, especially older ones who are sturdy, playful, and won’t mind that my affection sometimes arrives at puppy speed.

So if you’re looking for a companion that snuggles as much as she eats, let’s pencil me into your schedule! Apply to meet me here: https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication

Walk on a leash? Oh, no thank you! I much prefer the VIP treatment of being carried around. Why walk when you can ride in style and get all the cuddles along the way?

Puppy (2 months 27 days) · Male · Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 13 mi from American Fork

My name is Butter, and I’m a 4 month old Shepherd mix weighing in at 20 pounds of pure sweetness! I’m expected to grow into a big boy around 70 pounds, so if you love BIG dogs with even BIGGER hearts, I might just be your guy!

I’m pretty sure my life motto is PLAY, PLAY, PLAY… AND CRASH! I LOVE squeaky toys, balls, chew toys, and pretty much anything I can play with! I also LOVE everyone I meet

Other dogs? YES, PLEASE!! I get along great with other dogs, and I would absolutely LOVE a furry sibling to play with! Having a best friend to wrestle with, chase around, and then nap beside sounds like a dream come true!

Now, don’t let my puppy silliness fool you. I’m a SMART boy, too! I’m already crate trained AND potty trained with a doggy door! I also LOVE treats, so teaching me new tricks should be pretty easy. Just saying… I can be bribed with snacks.

I’m looking for a family who will love me as I grow, teach me all the things a good boy should know, play with me, and give me a lifetime of adventures and cuddles. I have SO much love to give, and I can’t wait to find my very own people!

So, what do you say? Are you ready to add a little Butter to your life? Because I promise to make it a whole lot sweeter! apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication

Adopting a dog in American Fork

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.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

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.
