🎶🚂 **Please welcome Folsom to New Hope Animal Rescue!** 🚂🎶![]()
![]()
Just in time for Independence Day, Folsom finally left doggie jail behind and traded his *prison blues* for a second chance. ❤️![]()
![]()
This adorable **3-year-old, 12-pound Chihuahua** is already proving what a wonderful little guy he is. He's now neutered and needs a foster home or better yet, someone who is ready to adopt him!![]()
![]()
Between his irresistible little underbite and his sweet, gentle personality, it's almost impossible not to fall in love with him.![]()
![]()
Folsom entered the shelter with two other small dogs, so we were hopeful he'd be dog friendly—and he hasn't disappointed! He's been great with dogs both big and small, even happily snuggling with a tiny 7-pound foster sibling (more on this little girl soon!) ![]()
![]()
He's also discovered that being part of a family is pretty wonderful. Whether you're making dinner, folding laundry, or relaxing on the couch, Folsom likes to quietly keep you company. If you can't find him, don't panic... just look down. Chances are he's patiently sitting at your feet.![]()
![]()
He responded immediately to the name Folsom like it was his name all along; but he comes when he's called and attaches quickly to his new person. He enjoys bedtime snuggles, and seems house trained if he gets the right amount of potty breaks. ![]()
![]()
We're so excited to watch this little guy continue to blossom, and we can't wait to help him find the forever family he deserves. He's full of personality, sweetness, he's calm and quiet. He just wants to be your best friend. ![]()

Howie![]()
🐾 Terrier Mix![]()
🐾 Male![]()
🐾 4 Years Old![]()
🐾 8 lbs![]()
![]()
Howie is proof that even the cutest little scruffy faces can be overlooked when shelters are overflowing.![]()
![]()
We simply couldn't leave this sweet boy behind at an open-intake shelter, and he's already proving to be an absolute sweetheart. He's friendly with other dogs and has quickly won over everyone he's met.![]()
![]()
Unfortunately, Howie experienced a complication following his neuter surgery, and an ultrasound also raised concern for possible pancreatitis. He's currently on medical hold while he continues to recover, and we're looking for a foster home that can help him get across the finish line.![]()
![]()
Right now, Howie needs a foster who can provide place to heal and is able to transport him to follow-up veterinary appointments as needed. New Hope Animal Rescue will cover all medical care and will also provide Howie's low-fat diet food while he recovers.![]()

If you've ever considered fostering, this is a wonderful way to make a life-changing difference for one very deserving little dog.![]()
