**Atticus will not attend our Saturday adoption event, and will be available for private meets only!**

Meet Atticus
Sex: Male
Age: Approx 6 Months Old
Weight: Will be approx 15 pounds when full grown!

Crate Trained: Work in progress.
Potty Trained: Work in progress!
Dogs: Yes!
Cats: Would do best with dog savvy cats.
Kids: Would do best in a tiny human free home!

Atticus was born in a Foothill foster home, and as you can tell, he’s rocking some seriously adorable radar ears.

This sweet boy isn’t your typical “go anywhere, love everyone” puppy just yet. Atticus is still building his confidence and figuring out the world around him, so he’ll need a patient, committed family ready to continue giving him positive, safe experiences. With the right support, he’s going to blossom.

He absolutely loves a good rough-and-rowdy play session with his foster dog siblings, followed by a well-earned nap. While he enjoys playing, he also takes a lot of comfort and confidence from other dogs, so a home with a resident mentor dog (or two!) would be ideal. Slow, thoughtful introductions will set him up for success, and experience with shy or underconfident dogs is a huge plus.

Atticus is doing great with potty training, with only minimal accidents. though those April showers did test his commitment a bit! His crate has become his safe space, and continuing that routine will be important as he transitions into his new home.

He loves being outside, playing with all kinds of toys, and, of course, getting into a little bit of puppy mischief whenever he can.

Overall, Atticus is a fun, goofy guy who just needs the right environment to truly thrive, and when he does, he’s going to be something really special

**Salsa will only available for private meets and will NOT attend our Saturday adoption event!**

Name: Salsa
Breed Mix: Terrier
Age: 2 ½ Years
Weight: 12 Pounds
Dogs? Not in the home, management outside home
Cats? No, has not lived with cats, but typical Terrier
Kids? Over 13 Years
House-trained? Yes
Crate Trained? Yes
Leash Trained? Yes

Salsa is a white, male Terrier mix with a lot of personality. He is about 2 ½ years old with medium energy, but of course would enjoy a daily walk to get the wiggles out. Salsa will be best with no other dogs in the home due to some resource guarding experienced in foster homes. He has been at a board and train for a few months and has done extremely well with proper management. Also is house trained and does well in the crate. We just think the best home for success will be with no other dogs and no young kids. Otherwise he can be a very sweet companion for someone without a lot of action in the home. We are told he is a typical terrier mix and we will provide proper management advice. Note: He is a shedder!

Meet Alyeska
Spayed female
50ish lbs
Around 1 year old
Dogs: Yes, big and small
Cats: Indoor, yes
House trained: Yes
Crate trained: Yes

Hey hey hey everyone. It's Alyeska or as my mom calls me Aly here! Wanted to let everyone know how I'm doing and give you the most recent update on my life with my foster peeps!

Well, I'm happy to report that life is good. I am a 50ish pound shepherd mix and a youngster, maybe a year old. I'm completely house broken and haven't had a single accident in the house. And although it's not my favorite place, I much prefer the sofa, I will hang out in my crate at night and for all my meals! I love, and I mean love tennis balls and playing fetch. Chewing on pine cones, and really love to play in water; the pond, puddles, the hose, if it's water then I'm in! I also love every other dog I meet and just love to run and play with everyone, even the cats... which they don't seem to enjoy as much as me.

Some of the things that seems to really get mom a little exasperated is when I pull on my leash, but we've gotten so much better with that and I really just like to run along side her when we're on our walks! I'm learning that she's supposed to go through the door first, but I'm just so excited to go out and play that I forget sometimes. I thrive when I can get a couple mile walk in in the morning and then I will settle in with you for a day of coworking or other fun activities with you.

For cheese or another yummy treat I will learn whatever you want to teach me. I learned sit, place, wait and free in one session with a little string cheese. I am very smart, loyal, loving and sweet. I have met about 20 different dogs at adoption events and done great with them all - I can adjust to their level of play or size.

Meet 26-Creek, a beautiful 1-year old 35 lb. little lady. Probably a Shepherd/Collie mix.
She sleeps quietly in her crate at night, but would prefer to sleep with her person.
She uses a doggie door during the day and has never had an accident in the house
Creek is super sweet and wants to be with her human, except when she’s playing with my dogs outside. She’s affectionate but not needy.
She has learned Sit and Touch. We’re working on leash training.
She has been around a dog savvy cat and ignores her, has not been around children but we think will be okay. I suspect she would be great with older kids especially. She has a lot of puppy energy, and needs to learn not to jump up on people before I’d recommend her for toddlers. We’re working on that too and she’s getting much better!
This sweet girl is good with other dogs but could be only dog too. She will want to be with her person, so not a girl to be left home alone all day.
She’s not a fan of cars, as she gets car sick.
We just love her and hope she finds her forever family soon.

26-Eugene
Male
Bichon/mix
8 yrs. old
15 lbs
Housetrained: Yes, and signals to go out
Cats: Unknown
Dogs: Does ok, but prefers to be only dog
Kids: No
Crate: No
Leash Trained: Likes to go on walks

Say hello to Eugene! He is such a sweet, handsome boy who loves going on walks, has medium energy and will play fetch any chance he gets! Just let him sit beside you and toss his toys, he loves that!
Eugene likes a calm, quieter environment without a lot of loud outbursts. He will play with other small dogs but loses interest quickly. He loves to be petted while sitting beside his human. He does not crate but sleeps on a dog bed or with his human.
He is approximately 15 lbs. and should be brushed regularly and groomed when needed. This can be tough because he doesn't like getting wet or cold. Not a fan of a rainy day either!
He is just a great dog who knows his likes and wants.
He can be nervous at new introductions and unknown situations, but he is not known to be a barker. He will whimper when stressed. Eugene prefers a quiet household so young children are not recommended. When he rides in a car, he likes the wind in his face so a secure dog car seat would be ideal because he is not a fan of a crate.
He is truly a companion dog that is so happy just to be with his people, sleep in their bed (if allowed) and fetch his toys.
What a sweet boy! Come meet him on Saturday!!

**Logan is part of the Paws on the Block program and will only be available for private meets and will NOT attend Saturday adoption events!**

Meet Logan!
Sex: Male
Age: Approx 6 Months Old!

Crate Trained: Yes!
Potty Trained: Yes.
Leash Trained: About 99.9%!
Dogs: Yes! Does have a rough and rowdy play style at times.
Cats: May be inclined to chase/want to play with the feline friends of the world, so would do best with a super dog savvy cat.
Kids: Yes!

You know me, you love me… okay maybe not yet, but I’ve been called a “baby Folsom,” so I think I’m off to a pretty good start.

Hello, my name is Logan. I’m a six-month-old Labrador mix and I am a lovable, energetic young pup that will absolutely bring love, joy, and happiness into your life. I love going on walks, chasing down my soccer ball or jolly ball, and playing fetch with handballs. If you throw one for me, I’ll happily bring it right back to your hands.

I enjoy interacting with other dogs as long as they enjoy my high-energy play style. My favorite kind of people are anyone willing to run, jump, roll around in the grass, and investigate everything around us with me. I would make the perfect companion for walks at the park, beach days, or any adventure where we can spend time together.

After a nice long play session, I love relaxing on my bed with a good chew toy or bone and taking a long nap. I also really love cuddles, belly rubs, and resting my head on your leg. One of my favorite positions is definitely belly-rub position because it shows just how affectionate I really am.

I’m also a pretty smart pup. I’ve been participating in the Paws on the Block program for the past few months and have had training opportunities that most dogs my age don’t get the chance to experience. Paws on the Block is a partnership between Foothill Dog Rescue and Folsom State Prison that provides dogs like me with daily structure, socialization, enrichment, and training to help us become the very best versions of ourselves while we wait for our forever homes.

My trainers say, “If you are on the hunt for your next best friend then look no more, I have arrived!”

I am very eager to learn and practice my commands daily, including stand, bed, down, kennel in/out, heel, and touch (recall). If you verbally give me these commands, I’ll happily show you how much I love responding. I would benefit from continued opportunities to train in a structured setting so I can continue building on everything I’ve already learned.

I get very excited for food and treats, and while I tend to push and pull a little bit sometimes, I’m learning more every single day. I’m an early riser at times and may let you know when I’m awake and ready to start the day.

Fun fact about me: I do not enjoy baths in the slightest… but oddly enough, I actually love water.

Another thing my trainers say about me is that I have “an amazing character and would make a great addition to any family or individual looking to have an amazingly handsome wing-pup.”

If you are looking for your next best friend, amazingly handsome wing-pup, cuddle buddy, and adventure companion all wrapped into one, then look no further, I have arrived. I truly look forward to becoming part of your family and making years of amazing memories together, and showing you all the character I have!

Until then, keep a pawsitive attitude!

Meet Marshmallow!
4yr old spayed female
Pit/mix
Female
Kids: Yes
Dogs: Selective

Professional couch potato. Part-time sunbather. Full-time snuggle expert.
Marshmallow is a spayed female pitbull looking for a laid-back home where she can perfect her favorite hobbies: lounging on the couch, soaking up sunshine in the yard, and being your loyal little shadow. She’s microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to find her people.
She has been wonderful with kids ages 1-16 and has done well living with both a large male dog and a small male dog after slow introductions and time to settle in. Because of that, we would consider her dog selective. She can also be reactive on leash around other dogs, so her ideal home is more “homebody vibes” than busy day adventures.
Honestly? Marshmallow would be perfectly content being your one and only dog, living the spoiled couch queen lifestyle she was born for. 🛋️✨
If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, low-key best friend who prefers Netflix and backyard tanning sessions over chaos and crowds, Marshmallow might just be your girl.
Please visit foothilldogrescue.org to submit an application. She will not be at Saturday's adoption event; she will be available by private meets. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Meet 26-Queenie (aka Silk)
Poodle mix
Female
approx. 5 yrs old
approx. 10 lbs.
Kids: 14+
Dogs: prefers to be only dog
Cats: Unknown
Leash Trained: Yes

Queenie is a 5-year-old sweetheart who adores her people. She'd happily spend her days curled up beside you on the couch and her nights tucked into bed with her favorite human. A devoted companion, she loves affection and will gladly rest her head on your chest while you watch TV.
When Queenie arrived, it was clear she was used to having free rein of the house. She confidently claimed the couch and made herself right at home. If allowed, she'll happily lounge on furniture, so her future family should be prepared to continue reinforcing boundaries and household manners.
Queenie is a sensitive girl who responds best to gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. Loud voices or harsh corrections can intimidate her. Early on, a stern "off" frightened her enough to freeze and have a submissive accident. She has had other accidents when meeting larger people with deep voices, too. I have found that using a diaper in new or unpredictable situations helped prevent submissive leaks while she adjusted. Queenie thrives with patience, kindness, and consistency.
She lets you know when it’s time ‘to go’ with barks (o do not have a doggie door). However, do not wait for too many barks go by and then try to rush…she will accidentally and unintentionally leak. Consistency is key.
While generally easygoing, she has shown some possessive behavior around favorite sleeping spots and close access to her humans. She will express herself with a warning. Because of this, she may do best as an only dog or with a calm, non-dominant canine companion. Adopters with other dogs—especially confident females—should plan for careful introductions and management.
Queenie is not a fan of the crate and would much rather be with her people. She craves companionship and wants to be included in daily life. She doesnt ‘love’ getting into a car, but is a good car campanion. The doggie park appears to be fairly new to her, and she is learning the ropes with a great attitude. She has been great and walks, too!
If you're looking for a loyal shadow, a professional cuddler, and a dog who will love her people wholeheartedly, Queenie may be the perfect addition to your family. She needs a home that appreciates her sensitive nature, uses gentle handling, and offers a little patience while she learns the rules of her new kingdom.

Name 26-will “Twilla”
Breed Mix Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher Mix
Age Around 1 year
Weight 12lbs
Dogs? Yes
Cats? Unsure
Kids? Yes (9,14,14)
House-trained? Working on it but she knows how to use the doggy door
Crate Trained? No, she does not like her crate
Leash Trained? Yes, she doesn’t pull but she needs some encouragement because she’s still a little nervous on a leash outside
Twill “Twilla” came to us very underweight and timid. After one day she came out of her shell and showed us how thankful and loving she is. She loves to cuddle and sleep under the covers. After a couple of minutes under the covers she will poke her head out and keep the rest of her body under the covers like a human. So she prefers to sleep with her humans and not in a crate. She gets very anxious in her crate and wants out immediately. I think she would do best living with someone who would not need to crate her unless it’s a very short period of time. We leave her out of the crate while we are away, and she hasn’t chewed anything up while we are gone. She loves treats, bones, blankets, and squeaky toys. She shows her timid side when in the crate, car, and walks outside. She is great around children and other dogs. She knows how to use a doggy door but needs little reminders to go outside. Twill “Twilla” is ready to find her furever home.
