Otis: is a GORGEOUS 4 year old Great Dane looking for his forever home. Otis is having a blast playing with Sage, his foster canine sister, and is so good with the kids in the home. Otis is just a massive, slobbery love ♥ He hates being left behind, but will kennel up without issue. When he’s been left to free roam, he’s done great. And when his foster comes home, it’s like he hasn’t seen them in years! That tail gets going like crazy. He is great in the car too. He does bark when new people come around, and kind of hang back until he’s a little more sure. Otis is a very good dog. Due to his insane tail, we do not recommend small children. Otis is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm tested. He’s looking for a lap to sit on, and some active folks to take him out to do fun stuff! No couch potatoes please.

Minnie: is a 1.5 yo spayed female rough coat. She is kind of shy at first and then warms up quickly. She was sold by a AKC breeder in NC. The original folks that bought her as a 9 week old pup needed a Saint Bernard pup.. like they needed whole in the head. She was found by some very kind folks from GA. She was living in a mud pen w/ no water. The kind folks figured out they were not at a place in their lives to keep a Saint Bernard.They contacted us. Minnie is looking for her last home for the rest of her life. She is a puppy still. Very playful. Only experienced Saint Bernard owners/ potential adopters need apply. 5/23/2019

Meet Dozer: Dozer is a 2 year old s/h neutered male. Dozer came into rescue when his owners moved to an apartment. He hadn’t had a lot of guidance or socialization prior to his foster home, but he is a fast learner. Dozer likes car rides but will try to sit in your lap. He really wants to be a lap dog and is super affectionate with his people. He isn’t a huge Saint, about 100lbs and could put on a few more lbs but that will come with age. Does great with the three dogs he lives with, but can get a little jealous if he feels he isn’t getting his share of attention. He loves to be the center of attention. Dozer would love to live with a dog close to his size that is active and likes to play. He has done very well with the foster’s three cats, but will chase if they run. Dozer is a more athletic Saint and loves to play hard, so a home with plenty of room for him to stretch out would be ideal. He is happy, easy going, and adapted quickly to his foster home. He is housebroken, knows some basic commands, and no issues with food around other animals. Dozer is protective of his home and people and a bit wary of newcomers. He has been around kids but would probably do best in a home that is low traffic. He does fine around livestock, chickens that are penned in but he is young, and will need some continued training in this department. He has been left alone for 8 hours without problems, but he does still like to chew a bit, so make sure he has appropriate chew toys. Good on leash, still pulls a bit so needs work and will need a confident handler to give him direction. Shots UTD, HW neg, and microchipped. Dozer will be ready for adoption the first week of May. He is being fostered in Grants Pass.5/16/2019

Fenced yard required, all animals in the home must be fixed, and we adopt to within 12 hours of Boise, ID. If interested in adopting Hazel, apply at application.

We think he is a Great Pyrenees something mix but we do know Max loves people and would be great in a home with older kids. Max loves car rides and meeting all the new people he can.

For more information or to adopt the sweet guy, 5/3/2019

Boss: Sweet Boss lived on a chain most of his ten years. He was allowed inside his owners home when it was to cold. His owner lost his home and contacted Illinois Saint Bernard Rescue who gladly stepped in and took this guy in. He is ten years old and heartworm positive. He has acclimated to full time house dog very nicely and is living great in a foster home. Even though Boss is ten he is looking for his forever home to live out his days. His adoption fee is $250 just to cover a small part of all of his vetting that had to be done to make sure he was healthy. Would you like to add a sweet old man to your home? We have not tested him with dogs yet because he had to have a couple of extractions because his mouth was sore but we are confident he will be fine with another dog.5/3/2019

Lager: is officially available for adoption! He’s had all the surgeries he needed and is ready to find his forever home. Lager is an absolutely stunning, massive, slobbery, hairy, face rolls having, convertible top down ridin’, couch hogging, messy eating, half tailed, mostly toothless, snoring, mob causing, hotel room service loving, handsome, brute of a dog! Although he is 7 ish years old, he’s still got a ton of life left in him and he really wants to be your lap sitting snuggle buddy. No really…he can never get close enough. He’s house trained, and would definitely prefer someone that’s home a lot or can take him to work. He does not enjoy being alone much, but will crate up if needed, although we’ve determined he’s magic and can slip his 150 pound body through the 2 inch bar gap to end up on the couch when you get home. 🤷♀️ It’s a mystery how it happens. Lager is excellent with kids, does well with dogs, but likes to be center of attention. Fine with cats. Enjoys the outdoors, but prefers to be wherever you are. If interested in adopting our gigantic smoosh bucket, apply at www.saintrescue.org. We only adopt to within 12 hours of Boise, ID, all animals must be fixed, and he will require a fenced yard.4/15/2019

Norbert: is an amazing 5/6 ish year old male Saint Bernard. He is the most easy going dog we’ve ever had in rescue. He takes a little bit to warm up to new people. House trained, great with dogs, cats, and ADORES kids. He will play, but also likes to lay on your feet. Norbert is on thyroid medication, which will probably be a lifetime issue. He will need a thyroid test ran from time to time to ensure he’s in the normal range. The medication we have him on currently is about $40 per month. Without this medication, he can get very lethargic and sick. Norbert also had two surgeries on his hip and the vet has cleared him, but he does currently limp a little. His last surgery was 5 months ago.4/15/2019

Angel: is 12yr old smooth coat female that we rescued from a local shelter after being dumped there by her owners.

Dakota: My name’s Dakota. I am a stunning 3 yr old spayed l/h female with lots of love to give. I am currently looking for a new family because I tend to be a little too playful around my toddler friend. I just can’t help myself…I love to jump, bark and run around fast when it’s playtime in the backyard and it’s too overwhelming for my little human who doesn’t like getting bumped, so I find myself in search of a new forever home. I am super sweet and don’t have a mean bone in my body, but I am best suited to live with sturdy kids 10 and up who can deal with energetic play with a large dog and an understanding parent who has the time and desire to supervise and provide some direction for me if needed. My current family loves me very much, but feels my life will be better in a home with a family that has more time to spend with me, helping me to reach my full potential. I know some basic commands but my training needs to be reinforced. I graduated from a novice obedience class and that was a proud moment for me (see my picture below!). I still need some work on the leash. I have met a few other dogs and I like them, especially my cousin dogs who come to visit. We have a lot of fun. I don’t like to be challenged by other dogs when I am on the leash, so introductions should be made carefully. I can get very lonely when left in the backyard alone for too long and I will let you know it by singing you the song of my people. I love and crave attention; I want all the snuggles. I am not a hyper dog, and am pretty laid back and lazy for the most part. I do good when left in the house alone, just keep the trash can and food out of reach…I tend to be an indiscriminating eater when the opportunity arises. My currently family realize that with the little kiddo, work and a big dog they got in a little over their heads and just want me to have everything I deserve. I am basically a typical Saint Bernard. Note: I will probably chase your cat—it’s fun! I haven’t been around any livestock, so I will need to be supervised around them. I am being fostered in Medford. I am UTD on shots, h/w neg, microchipped and spayed. 4/8/2019

Cuddles: and Kegger: Double the Love! are a bonded pair of 4yr old brothers who are looking for a home together. They love each others company and are a bit codependent. Cuddles is the sweetest little guy at 110lbs. He is happiest stretched out on top of you while you watch tv. He lives for hugs and makes the cutest little content sighs in your ear when he is being held. Cuddles is good around kids, but we think older kids would be a better fit due to Kegger’s vision disabilities. Kegger is a bigger boy at 130lb and bit more reserved at first, but once he has is surroundings and routine figured out and relaxes, he is just as much of a lover as Cuddles. Both boys are easy to handle, love outings and car rides, are good in public, friendly with people, good on the leash, know some basic obedience (Cuddles loves reward based training and is a quick learner. Kegger also enjoys training, but he is a bit more stubborn than his brother), are great for baths, nail trimmings, good with vets, ignored the cats they were introduced to, and raised around children. They are good with most dogs but Cuddles does want to be in charge of the canine crew as he feels responsibility to his brother. The perfect home for these boys would be where they are the only dogs so that they can have your full attention, but would do well in a home with an older female dog who doesn’t care about other dogs. They have done well around smaller dogs. These boys came from a home that didn’t have the means to take care of them properly and had a lot of acute health issues that we have been taking care of. They will require a home that doesn’t mind regular trips to the vet to make sure they are in tip top shape. Both boys are extremely allergic to fleas and must be kept on a flea control regiment and a good quality food to help prevent skin and ear issues. They are utd on shots, neutered, microchipped, and hw negative. 6 foot fence required. Their adoption fee is $750 and they are currently fostered in Portland. These boys deserve the best, as the last few years have not been the easiest for them. These boys are beyond special! 4/4/2019

Belle: is a 6 year old spayed female Saint. She gets along well with her young Saint Bernard brother, and loves attention. She is well mannered, but does not like getting her nails clipped. Belle is a new addition to the rescue, and has been vaccinated and tested negative for heart worms. Prior owners indicated that she was good with cats and children, but we have not yet seen her in either situation. She is a sweet girl!8/1/2019

Charly: is an approximately 6 year old girl looking for her forever home. Charly is a spunky thing with lots of energy! She absolutely loves car rides, and cuddles. She doesn’t have great recall yet so a fenced yard is required. Charly came on the pack walk with us and did amazing! She was very excited and bouncing up and down like Tigger at first, but eventually settled into the walk. She loves everyone she meets. She has a little separation anxiety, but is getting better about being left alone. So long as she can see out the window, that seems to help her. If interested in adopting Charly, apply at www.saintrescue.org. All animals must be fixed, fenced yard required, and we adopt to within 12 hours of Boise, ID. 2/8/2019

Titan: Could you imagine being taken from a home that you were just recently placed in and dumped at the truck yard? Sadly that is what is happened to the sweet boy. Gateway guardian rescue in St. Louis stepped in and caught him and held him for the seven days. They were never able to contact the people that dumped him. He had been rehomed by his previous owners as they were moving out of state. But no worries now as now Titan Will never have to worry about being without a home again. This sweet but petite 2 1/2-year-old neutered male loves everyone he comes in contact with. He’s very silly and playful. He likes to jump around and park and play. He likes toys, he is house trained crate trained and good with other dogs. His adoption fee is $400 and he is looking for his forever home. Are you the one to take him home? 3/29/2019

Mozart: is a fun loving energetic young guy. He loves people, going for walks/jogs/hiking and loves. He likes to get his treats/Nyla bone and then he will immediately plop down on his bed for a good chew on his treat or bone. He is housetrained and doesn’t chew on anything other than his bones. Mozart was not well taken care of in his former home. He would have to scrounge for food at a market next to his home. Finally after enough complaints from the neighbors the Sherriff’s office took them from their owners and Mozart came to the rescue.3/28/2819

Bosley: is a 10 month old l/h neutered goofball Saint puppy looking for his forever home. Bosley came to rescue because his owner had too many dogs and Bosley wasn’t getting the training he needs. Like all puppies, he needs to work on his listening skills and can be a bit pushy when he wants his way, so he needs a consistent owner committed to his training. Bosley is housebroken, rides well in the car, loves attention, playing, being petted, treats, running outside and chewing on bones. He gets along well with other dogs, but would do best with non reactive dogs, since he is still in his huge-puppy stage. He is okay with cats but has been known to chase them. We do not know how he is with livestock. Bosley has been around kids ages 5 and up. He’s a bit stingy with his food, so that is something that will need to be worked on. Bosley is being fostered in Eugene, OR. 3/24/2019

Bonnie: is an approximately 6 month old puppy. She looks like what I imagine a Saint Bernard/Corgi mix would look like. She’s short, smaller and has Saint Bernard coloring and droopy eyes. Bonnie is a naughty little typical puppy who loves to chew shoes, loves to drag the bathroom rug out every chance she gets, takes things outside, etc. If you aren’t prepared to work on puppy behavior, don’t bother with this one! Bonnie loves other dogs and absolutely needs one in her new home, preferably a playful one. She can be a little timid and can startle easily so younger children are not recommended. When I first met Bonnie, she would not leave the corner of her kennel at the shelter, and the staff had to pick her up to take her out.

She will require a fenced yard, all animals in the home must be fixed, and we only adopt to within 12 hours of Boise, ID. 1/13/2019

Becky: comes from a very, very loving home and because of family changes, she needs a new forever home. Becky loves 20 minute walks, leaning on humans, staring deeply into your eyes and then burping softly into your face a meat and basil smell because she stole the lasagna from the counter. Becky can be found trying to sit on your lap, lay on your bed, or watching you shower. Her likes are a pumpkin puf-a-lump from the early 90’s, Queen & Gary Clark, and interrupting my personal bathroom time. Becky is great with my kids and other dogs, though she really prefers alone time with that damn puf-a-lump. Becky is patient, kind, and loyal and some might say, even a little clingy. She enjoys dress up, car rides, and the occasional game of chase the squirrel. Becky uses her good looks to get what she wants and we have never seen her pay for her drinks or puppacinos at Starbucks. If you’re in the market for a beautiful, potty trained, new best friend (though I’ve caught her snap chatting about other dogs) . All animals in the home must be fixed, fenced yard required, and we only adopt to within 12 hours of Boise, Idaho.1/13/2019
