~*~ CAN'T MAKE A LIFE TIME COMMITMENT TO A DOG BUT WOULD STILL LIKE A CANINE COMPANION? WHY NOT FOSTER?! ASK US ABOUT OUR FOSTER PROGRAM AND HOW YOU CAN BE A FOSTER PARENT FOR A 4 LEGGED LOVE PET. ~*~
Many wonderful medium-large, older and special needs dogs who need foster homes until a forever home is found. If you are able to provide a foster home for a dog with separation anxiety (does not like being left alone), larger dogs or a senior dog who may take longer to place then let us know! They need your help! Dogs need foster care for as little as two to three weeks and as long as four to six months or more. All dogs are vaccinated and vet checked before placed in a foster home. Email us at dogs@4leggedlove.com for a Foster Home Application.

Scooter - Jug (Pug/Jack Russell)

male, neutered, vet checked, vaccinated to date inclu. Rabies, ~6yr, ~25lbs/just under knee height


Scooter has been abandoned by his family now that they've decided they no longer want to bother with a dog.

Scooter is nervous with the sudden change in his life and is taking time to settle in to his foster home. He will need a mature, patient family to give him time to settle in to his Forever Home. Tail wags and high 5s! My name is Scooter and I am looking for a new home with a cool family that is just as loveable as I am. They say I'm a big love and Id have to agree, the last family that kicked me out says I enjoy sleeping on the bed with my people, I love ear rubs and pretty much just any attention you can give me. I'm a mature boy and as long as the trash bin is out of my reach I'm a well mannered and pretty easy going dude around the house. Ill probably just follow you around the house just generally resting where ever the family is. I like to hang out with other dogs at the park, I've lived with cats and personally I could take or leave felines, doesn't bother me at all to share the house with em. I like kids and Ive been raised around kids, I find the older kids that are about 10yrs or older are more fun because they can play ball with me and talk me for walks and runs around the neighborhood. I think older kids are better for me because sometimes I can be a little nervous and they know when to just leave me alone so I can relax. I am quite happy to share my toys, my space, my bed and my food without an issue, its just those rawhide things that I don't want to give back so I shouldnt have them. I need a daily walk, about 30min is good, twice a day if you can and some play time in the yard, if you want to give me a brushing once in a while Id enjoy that too. I am part Puggy so you should watch my diet and make sure I don't get too chunky, well both like me better with a more trim physic. I am used to hangin out in the house on my own while you go to work but I'm also one of those cool dogs that is well behaved so you can take me to work with you if you want. I'm pretty adventurous so if you like to go hiking and stuff I think wed get along well. My ideal family will give me a little time to settle in to my new place because I'm pretty nervous about being dumped after 6 years of loyalty, you are adults only or at least don't have young kids (no kids under 10yrs), you guys are is active enough to make sure I get a good daily walk and hopefully *paws crossed* has a house with a fenced yard for me to play in. I'm going to hang out in this foster home and help my foster mom read over your application while I wait for you. *Ruff* Luv Scooter PS. I love squeaky toys!

Major (aka Major Mutt) - Boxer mix (possibly Cattle Dog/Pointer/Shepherd type??)

male, neutered, vet checked, vaccinated to date inclu. Rabies, ~10mos, ~55lbs


Okay so we aren’t really sure what kind of mutt this guy is, he is the PERFECT candidate for Doggy DNA Testing! Our breed experts have settled on some sort of Bull Terrier (like Don Cherry’s dog!) type mix, maybe with Boxer or Shepherd? Many of his features fit that of a Bull Terrier including those wild ears that sometimes flop around or you can check them out upright in his photos.

Regardless of what mix(es) Major might be he’s a sweet, good natured, loyal and loving pup. He gets along really well with other dogs and is currently in a foster home with two other dogs. He is house trained and crate trained. Being a pup he still sleeps in his crate at night and when his foster mom leaves him alone. He is great with other dogs, good with respectful older kids and though we have not had a chance to have him around cats we suspect he would be fine with a proper introduction. We prefer Major find a home with no young kids at this point because he still jumps up when excited and tends to mouth at times as well when over excited. Major knows how to “sit” and his foster mom is working on other basic commands and manners, he walks very nicely on the leash. Major’s funny quirk is that he doesn’t like to “potty” on a walk, he will go in his own yard before or after he has a walk. Major needs a good daily walk and does well with a little play time in the yard each day too. He’d be perfect for an experienced, active family or a family with kids old enough to help take him for walks or play ball with him in the backyard. Major would love to have another canine friend in his home but he’d be fine as the only dog as well. Major is best suited to a house with a fenced yard. 

If you are interested in being considered to adopt a pet please submit a 4 Legged Love Adoption Application. An application must be submitted before an appointment can be made to meet/adopt a pet.

Coal - Whippet/Terrier type mix

male, neutered, vet checked, vaccinated to date inclu. Rabies, ~2yrs, ~20lbs


This little lad is a friendly little guy that is about knee height and lean like a Whippet and all black with a short, smooth coat. He is very cuddly and will lean right in to you for hugs and a body rub. Coal gets along well with respectful children of any age but can be easily startled when grabbed at so he needs a home with no kids under 10yrs, he is great with other dogs but needs a home with no cats. He is house trained and well mannered in the home. Coal would be a great little body for another dog around the same size but is also fine as the only dog in the home. He likes a good daily walk and really enjoys time at the doggy parks. Coal is crated but is currently given free roam of his foster home at night and when left alone without any issues. Coal doesn’t like to be left alone for long periods of time and may bark when left for extended periods so he is not suitable for an apartment. This active little guy would make a great pal for teenagers or a mature couple that want a little buddy that can hold his own, go for long walks, play ball etc but is small enough to scoop up in to your arms if need be. Coal would be thrilled to accompany you to a dog friendly work place. Coal is house trained and crate trained, he is also working on basic manners in his foster home. If you have a relatively active, mature home this loyal little man might be the guy for you. Houses with fenced yards only please.

If you are interested in being considered to adopt a pet please submit a 4 Legged Love Adoption Application. An application must be submitted before an appointment can be made to meet/adopt a pet.

Ebbie - Bulldog/Beagle mix
(Adopted)

female, spayed, vet checked, vaccinated to date inclu. Rabies, ~2.5yrs, ~30lbs


Ebbie was not handling the chaos and stress of being locked in a cage at the shelter and would bark and growl at other dogs passing by. She was taken off the adoption floor because she wasn't “showing well” and risked being euthanized unless she found rescue.

This pup is super friendly and social, she loves people and playing with other dogs. Ideally Ebbie can find a home where she doesn't have to spend a ton of time in a crate but she is crate trained and doesn't mind staying in her crate at night or when left alone. Ebbie is currently crated in her foster home at night and when left alone, he foster mom reports there are no issues what so ever with Ebbie and the crate. She is always happy to bounce on out but is clean, calm and quiet while in her crate. Ebbie would love to accompany you to work, running errands or just hanging out where you go. Ebbie is good with respectful children of any age, cats and other dogs. She is house trained and well mannered in the home. Ebbie is very loveable and doesn't mind sharing her space with other dogs so she'd be a great second dog. She is fun, bouncy, loveable and needs a good daily walk. Ideally Ebbie can find a house with a fenced yard but she would likely do fine in an apartment with enough daily exercise aside from her potty walks.If you are interested in being considered to adopt a pet please submit a 4 Legged Love Adoption Application. An application must be submitted before an appointment can be made to meet/adopt a pet.

Milo - Black Lab
(Adopted)

male, neutered, vet checked, vaccinated to date inclu. Rabies, ~1.5yrs, ~55lbs


Milo looks very close to a single breed Lab, if he is a mix we suspect likely with a Border Collie. He is tall, lanky and lean but he is also still only about one and a half years old so he may still have some filling out to do. He probably won't get taller but will likely fill out with regards to muscle mass and looking a little less like a gangly puppy boy. Milo would be a great second dog as he loves to play with other dogs but he's also fine on his own, he can be left for typical 9-5 work hours and is currently crated when left alone in his foster home. Milo is good with respectful children of any age, cats and other dogs. He is house trained and well mannered in the home but it wouldn't hurt for his new owners to brush up on some obedience with him. Milo is a loveable, loyal pup ready to take on the world with his new family. Car rides, playing with toys and a good scratch are what this boy does best. He's probably a swimmer being a Lab but you'll have to wait til' cottage season to find out! Milo would love a house with a fenced yard.

If you are interested in being considered to adopt a pet please submit a 4 Legged Love Adoption Application. An application must be submitted before an appointment can be made to meet/adopt a pet.

Megan - Black Lab/Shar Pei
(Adopted)

female, spayed, vet checked, vaccinated to date inclu. Rabies, ~1.5yrs, ~55lbs

Megan is a friendly and social girl just like you'd expect from a Lab. She is rather pudgy with a tail and head/face a little more like a Shar Pei but not very wrinkly. Her coat (though hard to tell in the photos) is more of a deep black/chocolate color. Meghan would be a great second dog or on her own, she can be left for typical 9-5 work hours and is currently crated when left alone in her foster home. Megan is good with respectful children of any age, cats and other dogs. She is house trained and well mannered in the home. Megan would love play time at the doggy parks and plays well with other pooches. It's really hard to tell from her photos how cute this girl is so you'll just have to send in your application and hopefully come to meet her! Megan is best suited to a house with a fenced yard.

If you are interested in being considered to adopt a pet please submit a 4 Legged Love Adoption Application. An application must be submitted before an appointment can be made to meet/adopt a pet.

Summer - Chihuahua mix
(Adopted)

female, spayed, vet checked, vaccinated to date inclu. Rabies, ~10mos, ~10lbs


This poor little pup was dumped at the pound and scared to death, she was so nervous with all the chaos and noise of the shelter they didn't even want to put her on the adoption floor.

Summer is settling nicely in to a foster home and is actually quite loveable and less and less shy every moment. She is getting along well with the adults in her foster home, we have yet to have her around children. At this point we prefer Summer finds a home with no small kids (under 8yrs). She is good with cats and other dogs both large and small. She is house trained and crate trained, she is well mannered in the home. Summer is better suited to a more mature house hold that can take a little time to let her settle in and come around. More info to be posted shortly.

If you are interested in being considered to adopt a pet please submit a 4 Legged Love Adoption Application. An application must be submitted before an appointment can be made to meet/adopt a pet.
