Bobbie:

Bobbie is a precious 3 year old black lab. She was used by a breeder to have puppies. We are not sure why they dumped her. It is evident that she has had puppies.  Bobbie has an adorable shy, loving, silly, affectionate, playful personality. She gets along great with other dogs and is showing signs of being a real water lover. Her adoption fee is $150. through IDAWG to cover her spay, vaccination, and microchip. She also came to me with an ear infection that was successfully treated by the vet. If interested, please call Kelley at 208-869-4065 or Julie at 208-484-2969. Thanks!

 

**Adoption Success Stories: **  

 

Piper: Piper was adopted by a twenty-something girl who loves her very much!

 

 

Labrador Retriever/pit bull terrier mix – female – 4 years old. Piper graduated on 10-24-09 from the Inmate Dog Alliance Project of Idaho (IDAPI Program) where she was socialized and obedience trained for two months. While there she was housetrained, leash trained and crate trained. She also learned the following commands: sit, stay, come, down, heel, right turn, left turn, down on recall, shake right and left, wave, high five, sit up, play dead and several other fun commands. She loves to play with other dogs, but it is critical that she is properly introduced to new dogs. She enjoys the water and getting a bath. Piper weighs 57-lbs. and has a short, easy to care for coat of fur. Piper came to the shelter as a stray. She was obviously neglected/abused by her previous owner as she has scars all the way around her neck probably caused from being chained up outside. It breaks our hearts to see this and a few other scars and such a sweet dog. Arriving at the shelter was truly a great thing for Piper. Her life has entered a new chapter and she now has a chance at a better life. Piper is extremely sweet and loyal. She is intelligent and eager to please. She has excellent house manners and is calm and relaxed indoors. Piper would do well as an only dog or in a home with another dog her size. She loves people of all ages, but should go to a home with no small children. She is not good with cats so a feline-free home is a must. An approved application and a one time, free, mandatory obedience class is required when adopting a dog from the Inmate Dog Alliance Project of Idaho (IDAPI Program). If you are interested in this dog, an IDAPI applicaiton is required. To obtain one or to find out more about this dog, contact Dee Fugit at 208/331-8552 or e-mail dfugit@idahohumanesociety.org and ask for an application. To meet this nice girl, contact her foster mom Julie at 208/484-2969 or julie.fredrick@gmail.com

  

Cubby is the kind of dog  you'd see following a little boy around. Well, he got his little boy! A family with a young boy and a teenage girl adopted him. The family and Cubby are doing great!

Cubby is a proud new graduate of the Inmate Dog Alliance Project of Idaho (IDAPI) program where he learned basic obedience commands plus a few tricks! Cubby is described as a smart boy who loves people and other dogs. He is still very much a puppy and needs exercise and play, but he is maturing into a wonderful dog. He has a cute personality and will keep his new owners smiling. He loves toys, especially a bright green rubber bone he found in his foster mom's backyard. He loves to carry it around. Cubby would be an awesome hiking partner who would be trustworthy with other dogs encountered in the foothills. He is completely non-aggressive. He recently let a child take a rawhide bone out of his mouth with no complaints or possessive tendencies. Cubby is someone of a non-alpha dog, but he is confident playing with other dogs. He is completely house trained and crate trained and rarely barks. His foster mom describes him as confident and balanced with no baggage from his past. Please contact foster mom Julie for more information 484-2969 or julie.fredrick@gmail.com or to arrange an introduction to Cubby.

 

 

 

 

Tana: Adoption Success! Tana went home with an active retired couple. She is definitely moving onto a better life full of love!

Tana is our newest IDAPI foster dog. IDAPI stands for Inmate Dog Alliance Program of Idaho. Tana spent 8 weeks in the prison, matched with an inmate trainer. She spent 24/7 with her inmate trainer, so she received some very focused training. She delights in showing off her basic commands and some tricks too. We picked her up after she graduated on November 7, 2009. What a delightful little dog! When I first saw her, I thought, "Oh, what a cute yellow lab puppy!" But, in fact, she is just over a year old. She weighs 40# and is a nice size for most situations. This girl is full of playful personality. She loves to play with other dogs and also likes to play "catch me if you can."  I like calling her "C'Mon-tana!" Her inmate trainer was really touched by her saying she had stolen his heart with her gentle, magical nature. Tana is still very much a puppy at heart and needs a little reinforcement on some of her training, but she is sure to make a nice family dog or hiking/camping companion for a single person or family. If interested, contact me soon as she will be snapped up quickly.

 

Murphy - This cutie pie is a 2 year old wire hair fox terrier that ended up in the Canyon County shelter. Fox terrier rescue got him and adopted him out to a wonderful fox terrier -loving couple in Springfield, OR. Problem...how to get him from Boise to Springfield? Solution: Pilots and paws ( www.pilotsnpaws.org ) to the rescue! A volunteer pilot just happened to be flying into Caldwell, so he offered to take little Murphy back home with him! All went well and Murphy is having a blast being spoiled by his new people! Thanks Paws N Pilots and pilots Steve and Suzanne!

 

Brady: ADOPTED! The heartwarming story here is that this is the second IDAPI dog this person has adopted. Sadly, her first dog, Libby, died of brain cancer a few months ago. While the adopter swore she was done with dogs because of the heartbreak when they die, Brady stole her heart. Brady is one lucky dog!!

 Labrador Retriever Mix – Male – 1 year old- 50-lbs. Brady is a new graduate of the Inmate Dog Alliance Project of Idaho (the IDAPI program) where for the past two months he has been in training at the Idaho Correctional facility with two inmate trainers. During this two month period, the dogs live in the facility with the inmates and are trained every day for the entire two month period. Brady excelled in learning his basic obedience commands as well as some tricks. Brady is also house and crate trained. He is now in a foster home where his foster mom reports that he loves to play and gets along great with the other dogs. He has a cute personality and is developing into a wonderful young dog. He settles down nicely after play time. We believe he'll make a loyal and gentle companion for an active family with or without kids or a single person. If you are interested in learning more about Brady, or arranging a meeting, please contact his foster mom, Julie at julie.fredrick@gmail.com or 208-484-2969. For more information about the IDAPI program, please contact Dee Fugit at 208/331-8552 or e-mail dfugit@idahohumanesociety.org  The adoption fee for IDAPI dogs is $150.00 which includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping and two months of training and the free obedience class.

 

Adoption Success! Peaches, a 1 year old yellow lab rescued from the Idaho Falls shelter, was sponsored by the Golden Gate Lab Rescue in SanFrancisco, CA. Kelley Moore got her out of the shelter and I fostered her until we could get her to SF. It was all worth it...Peaches' forever family was waiting for her and she went home to them on August 23. This is a photo of Peaches with one of her 'kids'. What a happy ending for this great dog!!

 

 

Adoption Success! Barney, a 5 year old Wire Fox Terrier, was brought into IHS because he was always under foot and causing his elderly owner to fall. After a very short time in foster care at my house, he was adopted by a retired couple in Seattle. They report that he fit right in and has given himself the job of property patrol dog as he is constantly surveying the boundaries of the yard and also keeping the squirrels in line! They love him and say it is a match made in heaven! Yeah Barney!

   

 

Elvis was adopted by a family in Eagle, ID. He now shares a home with the family, goats, chickens, and two other dogs. Way to go Elvis!

German Shepherd/Kelpie mix - male - 1 year old - "Elvis" is a proud graduate of the Inmate Dog Alliance Project of Idaho(IDAPI Program). IDAPI dogs are popular because they are trained basic obedience and are well socialized with dogs and people while at the prison. Elvis is a well balanced dog. He loves to play and is non-aggressive. He settles down nicely after play.He is extremely smart and loves to show off the commands he learned while at the prison. He is a medium energy dog that seems to have no hang-ups at all. He loves to play with toys too. We think he'd make a great family dog and would do especially well in a home with another dog. He likes people of all ages and was in a home with a child with no problems at all. Unfortunatley, the family gave him up because of a family member's persistant allergies to Elvis. If you are interested in meeting this super dog, please contact foster mom Julie at julie.fredrick@gmail.com or 208-484-2969. If you have additional questions about the IDAPI program or want to get your application in early for the next graduating class, please contact Dee at the Idaho Humane Society, 208/331-8552 or e-mail dfugit@idahohumanesociety.organd ask for an IDAPI application. The adoption fee for Elvis is $100 which includes training, neutering, vaccinations and microchipping.

 

 

 

 

Baby was adopted to a wonderful senior citizen who reports that she is the perfect match for him! Yeah!

Australian Kelpie mix - female - 3 years old. "Baby" has a sweet personality and will be a wonderful companion. She is a bit shy at first and is happy to attach herself to one person. She is very quiet and rarely barks. Baby likes to play with soft toys and hide her treasures. She's learning to fetch and bring her toys to you when she wants to play. She approaches activities with enthusiasm, but she is well-mannered and not a hyper dog. Baby is a perfect medium-sized dog. She is house trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands such as sit, down, shake, back, enough, and come. She is great walking on the leash, and she loves to run at the park. If you show confidence when approaching other dogs, she will greet them happily. Baby does not enjoy being outside for extended periods alone, and she is easily startled by loud noises and sudden movements. She will be a welcomed addition to a quiet home where she can be your companion. For more information or to meet Baby, contact foster mom Julie at julie.fredrick@gmail.com or 208-484-2969. Adoption fee is $75

Cricket was adopted on 2/24/09. Congrats to Cricket and her new family!

 

 

Cricket is a cute little 3 year old Wire Hair Fox Terrier. She is a petite 14 pounds. She is actually pretty mellow and loves to sit on laps. She is active outside, but not hyper. The above photo was taken right after she was relinquished at the shelter...please excuse the dirty mess she is in. She has since has a bath and I will post new photos shortly. Cricket's housetraining had lapsed due to negligent owners. I've now reinforced that and she is great at going outside to do her business now, but it will take some additional reinforcement to maintain the "housebroken" status! Cricket would do best in a home with adults and/or older children as younger ones may accidently leave the door open and she may possibly be a bolter as this is common for this breed. Cricket is crate trained and quiet. I have not heard her bark yet! Her adoption fee is $200 and she comes with papers and pedigree (turned in with her). She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Call me at 484-2969 for more info or julie.fredrick@gmail.com

      

Adoption Success! Taffy was adopted on 2-15-09 

  

Labrador retriever mix - female - 3 years old. "Taffy" is a proud new graduate of the Inmate Dog Alliance Project of Idaho program (IDAPI Program). She was trained in basic obedience (sit, down, heel, stay, stand, come, etc.) also learned a few extra tricks. Taffy is a wonderful dog who gets along with people of all ages and other dogs. She has a playful personality, but is not hyper. She loves to play with sticks, balls and ropes, but then settles down nicely while in the house. She does not jump up on people. Taffy is house trained, crate trained and rides nicely in the car. She is an all around great dog who is very easy to get along with. Her only negative is that she loves to chase cats, so she'll need to go to a home without cats. Taffy weighs 52 pounds and is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $150. If interested in learning more about Taffy or arranging to meet her, please call or email foster mom, Julie at julie.fredrick@gmail.com or 208-484-2969.

He is house broken and crate trained and has good manners. His wirey coat and baby blue eyes make him a uniquely attractive boy. He weighs 50 pounds. He is great on a leash and is easy to handle.
