3. Tobleroni
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.

6. Quesito
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!

7. Blaise
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.

He's not looking for anything fancy. Just a family to adore, some adventures to share, and hopefully a few kids who appreciate his spectacular deer impressions!
If your family could use more laughter, more love, and a little four-legged comedian who specializes in butt-tucking zoomies, Bee BAYBEE is your boy! ❤️

Aegon may do well in a home with a cat with proper introductions and supervision. Luella, on the other hand, is a little

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! Please don't let a nervous meet-and-greet define who Miela is. Sometimes the sweetest souls just need a little extra reassurance that they're safe before they can show their true colors. 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.

21. South Dakota
Hi! I’m South Dakota!
I’m barely over 2 pounds of pure sweetness, and if I could, I’d happily ride around in your pocket all day! My favorite place in the whole wide world? Your lap, of course!
I’m a loving little dachshund mix who adores being held, snuggling close, and soaking up all the affection I can get. But don’t let my cuddly side fool you! I love playing with toys, chasing my tail, and having a little fun too!
I’m still working on my potty training, but I’m making progress every day!
I may grow to around 10–15 pounds when fully grown, although that’s just an estimate!

27. Gene
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.

Adopting a dog with children in Orem
Bring the whole family to meet the dog before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the dog behaves around children your kids' ages.
Teach children to let the dog come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the dog alone while it's eating or sleeping. Give the dog a bed or crate of their own to retreat to, and always supervise young children with a new dog.
Relaxed adult dogs are often a better match for young children than puppies, which jump up, nip and chew while they learn.
