Young (8 months) · Male · Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Orem






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) · 17 mi from Orem










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!

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) · 17 mi from Orem










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.

11. Dixie Lou
Adult (4 years) · Female · Shepherd / Husky / Mixed (medium coat) · 17 mi from Orem






Hi, my name is Dixie Lou! I am a four-year-old shepherd mix looking for a loving home.
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?

Adult (1 year) · Male · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 17 mi from Orem










LET THE HOLIDAYS BEGIN!
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.

15. Naylani
Young (6 months) · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Orem








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!

20. Tally
Young (5 months 17 days) · Female · Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Orem










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

Meet Ancel Adams – A picture perfect black and white portrait of absolute beauty – look it up, it’s a real thing!
I am a 8 month-old male Heeler mix weighing about 30 pounds. I should be about 45 pounds fully grown.
House trained – I’m a pro!
❤Kennell trained – working on it, with a treat I will go in nicely.
Dog and people friendly – of course! ü
Leash – Currently working on, up until this point I have never used one.
Cats – that is a mystery for me…I am sure with the right introduction I will be just fine.
Food motivated – YES - Which means I can learn some cool tricks if treats are involved!

I would be an amazing adventure buddy, up for camping, hiking or running!
Surprisingly, I am not loud, I rarely bark or whine.
Are you looking for a partner to train for a marathon, hike the highest peaks, or teach an endless list of tricks? Look no further! Ancel Adams runs on pure joy and athletic enthusiasm. True to the Heeler breed, this smart cookie learns new routines in minutes and is looking for a "job" to keep that brilliant brain busy.
For my fun side! Have you ever thought to yourself, I need a dog that has NO IDEA of what personal space is? I wish I could find a dog that will follow me everywhere, like an unofficial project manager. I really could use a dog that will watch TV with me? I would love a dog that can give hugs, like real hugs! It would be cool to have a dog that will stare at me intensely, not in a bad way, a way that says, “I need to figure this human out.” Well, guess what? Stop looking! Ancel Adams can successfully fill ALL those positions!
Let’s plan a meet and greet, I am totally worth it. You can apply for me at: https:bit/ly/RRAdoptionApplication

22. Randal
Young (5 months 22 days) · Male · Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 17 mi from Orem





Hi, I’m looking for my forever home!
Hi there! I’m a 5-month-old Lab-Shepherd mix with a big heart, a curious mind, and so much love to give! I’m currently around 25–30 pounds, and I’m expected to grow to about
55 pounds
when I’m all grown up.
I’m already off to a great start! I’m
potty trained, crate trained, and pretty good on a leash
. I am good with dogs and older children. I have not been around cats or younger kids yet but with a slow introduction, I think I would do great! I know sit, down, and my name! I’m a smart boy who’s learning more every day, and I can’t wait to keep growing with my forever family.

My favorite thing in the whole world?
My people!
I love being around my humans, and when you’re home, I’m happiest just knowing you’re nearby. I don’t need you to entertain me every second — I just like being able to see my favorite people and feel like I’m part of the family. When I get tired, I tuck myself into my kennel for a long nap
I’m still a puppy, so I’m figuring out this big world! Sometimes fast-moving things like runners or loud trucks make me a little nervous. With a little reassurance and positive encouragement, I’m learning that the world isn’t such a scary place.
I’m looking for a family who will help me build my confidence and give me all the love a growing pup deserves. In return, I promise to bring you puppy kisses, loyal companionship, and a whole lot of love.
Could you be my forever person? I’ve got a lifetime of love waiting just for you.

23. Shia
Young (9 months) · Female · Belgian Shepherd Malinois / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 17 mi from Orem




Meet Shia
Shia is a 10-month-old Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix who is currently around 48 pounds. She is a little on the thin side right now, so we are working on putting some healthy weight on her. She is also working on house training and isn’t quite there yet, but she is making great progress. She does really well in her kennel and is learning more every day.
Read more about Shia
Shia is seriously the sweetest, goofiest girl. She loves other dogs, is friendly with people, and would love a home that can continue helping her build her confidence. She can be a little leery of new things at first, but once she gets comfortable, her sweet and goofy personality really comes out.
Malinois are a different kind of dog, and anyone interested in Shia should understand the commitment that comes with the breed. They are extremely intelligent, high-energy dogs that need consistent training, structure, mental stimulation, and exercise. This is not a “one walk a day” kind of dog. Shia needs someone who is ready to put in the time and continue working with her.
With the right person, Malinois and Shepherds are incredibly loyal and make amazing companions. Shia has so much potential and is at the perfect age to learn and grow with her person. She just needs someone willing to give her the structure, confidence, training, and love she deserves. Apply today at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication

Read more about Miela
Miela is an incredibly smart little girl with SO much love and personality just waiting to shine through! While she can be nervous when meeting new people, don't let those first few shy moments fool you! With a proper introduction, a little patience, and some yummy treats in hand, Miela is quick to warm up and show you just how special she really is. She is such a smart girl who is eager to learn, and with continued training, confidence building, and someone willing to give her a chance, she has all the potential to become your absolute best friend and adventure buddy!

Miela doesn't need someone who expects perfection on day one. She needs someone willing to see her potential, give her grace, and allow her the time to blossom into the amazing companion we know she can be. All she's asking for is a chance. And I truly believe whoever gives her that chance is going to gain one incredible little best friend.

27. Monkey D Luffy
Young (5 months 30 days) · Male · Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 17 mi from Orem










Ahoy, mates! I'm Monkey D. Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
I love being a puppy pirate! I enjoy "pirating" your belongings and hiding them in my treasure crate—anything that smells like you is the best treasure. Shoes, socks, clothing, and blankets are all fair game!
I have only one speed: full steam ahead! I go until I drop. While I love being around people, my absolute favorite thing is wrestling with other pups. I need an active family who will love going on adventures with me.
A few details about me:
Read more about Monkey D Luffy
- Breed & Age: 6-month-old Lab/Shepherd mix. I have the loving temperament of a Lab and the intelligence of a Shepherd, so I learn fast!
- Size: Currently 30 lbs; expected to be 60–70 lbs fully grown.
- House Training: Potty trained using a dog door.
- Crate Training: I sleep in a crate in the room with my family. I prefer to be right next to you, but I calm down eventually. Because I can get into trouble if left unattended, I need structure, training, and patience during this puppy stage.
- Commands & Motivation: I know "Sit," "Down," "Leave It," and "Drop It." I love chew toys and am very food-motivated—I'll do just about anything for a treat!
- Socialization: I get along with everybody. I haven't met a cat yet, but I could learn to live with one.
- Home Preferences: I love children, but because I can be a bit rambunctious, a home with kids over 8 years old would be best.
If you are looking for a fun-loving, sweet pup who loves everyone, I'm your guy!

28. Sammy Star
Young (6 months) · Female · Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 17 mi from Orem







Hi future family! My name is Sammy Star and I am ready to live my best fall girl life with you! Did someone say a PSL for you and a pup cup for me??
I am a female rat terrier mix (best guess) and I've got loads of loves to give. My story started a little rough, I ended up in rescue pretty severely malnourished but you would never know...I still love people and snuggles are my fav (despite being failed a bit previously). I found out that toys are SO fun since being in my foster home and do really good at self-entertainment. I am a medium energy girl so I am simply built for almost anyone or any living situation.
Read more about Sammy Star
I am still putting on weight but full grown I should be about 35lbs-40lbs.
What I’m good at:
• Professional-level snuggling
• Eating is my absolute favorite, very food motivated so I will train quickly
• Potty training 80% there!
• Crate training - master!
What I’m working on:
• Basic commands (I already know sit!)
• Jumping (I would love it if you would hold me and carry me around - princess treatment is my fav)
I enjoy the company of other dogs but would be absolutely fine solo as long as I have my person. Cats are currently unknown, but with proper introductions, I should do just fine. Because I'm a terrier, I can be mouthy with play so would do best with kids 6+ that can redirect me to a toy.
Ready to enjoy fall with me??

30. Gene
Young (3 months 12 days) · Male · Golden Retriever / Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Mixed (medium coat) · 17 mi from Orem




Meet Gene — Big Personality, Bigger Heart!
Part puppy, part cuddle bug, and 100% certified VELCRO DOG! ❤️
Meet Gene, an adorable Flat-Coated Retriever mix puppy with a whole lot of spunk, an enormous personality, and a heart that's somehow even BIGGER than he is!
Gene is a fun-loving, playful little guy who enjoys romping around with his sisters, chasing toys, and getting into all the silly puppy shenanigans you'd expect from a happy, energetic boy.
But here's Gene's little secret...
He's actually a SNUGGLE DOG disguised as a rambunctious puppy! ❤️
Sure, he loves a good game with his sisters, but what Gene REALLY wants is to be wherever YOU are!
Read more about Gene
Sitting on the couch? Gene's coming!
Working at your desk? Gene's supervising!
Trying to relax? PERFECT! Gene has been waiting ALL DAY for this moment!
And if there's an available lap, you can bet this big little boy is going to find his way into it!
Gene hasn't quite figured out that he's growing into a bigger dog, and frankly, he doesn't see why that should matter. Laps are for sitting, people are for loving, and personal space is highly overrated!
This affectionate little sweetheart has so much love to give. He's the kind of puppy who will play his heart out and then happily curl up beside you, perfectly content just knowing his favorite person is close.
Gene is looking for a forever family who appreciates a playful, spirited puppy with an extra-large helping of affection. Someone who doesn't mind having a four-legged shadow and a lifetime supply of puppy kisses!
Gene's philosophy on life:
Play hard, love harder, and NEVER let a perfectly good lap go to waste! ❤️
Looking for a best friend who will love you with his WHOLE heart?
Gene is ready to be your adventure buddy, couch companion, and most devoted little shadow.
Big boy. Big personality. Even BIGGER love.

Why adopt an adult dog in Orem
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
