🍑💕Meet sweet, adoptable Floyd - the newest addition to this week adoptable dogs 💕🍑

Floyd Lawson - Young Adult Male Dog (just under 1 year)
Breed: Chihuahua mix
Age: 1-2 years old
Weight: 13 lbs.
Dogs: Yes and NEEDS ANOTHER PLAYFUL RESIDENT DOG in the home
Kids: Unknown
Cats: Interested, but weary - will bark at the resident cat in foster
Crate Trained: Yes - does not bark and can be left up to 3 hours in his crate during the day
House Trained: Yes, with consistent routine, but does not alert you to go out
Leash Trained: Floyd needs to work on leash walking, but is improving. He is scared by sounds and cars going by, so he will need someone that will be mindful to ensure he is secure on the leash during walks.
Car Rides: He is a great car rider

Hi, I’m Floyd Lawson!
I’m a young, dashing 13 lb. Chihuahua mix, and I LOVE to explore! I’m a little shy when we first meet, but if you’re patient, I’ll be your loyal little shadow. Once I warm up to you, I’ll stick right by your side—promise! I need another dog in the home to lean on for confidence, to play with and to learn from.
I’m crate-trained and sleep quietly through the night. I know to potty outside (just let me out quickly, please!). I love hanging out with other dogs, playing with toys, and—oh boy—treats and cookies are the best! I’m also good in my crate for car rides.
My hearing is top-notch, so I’ll be your tiny watch dog. If there’s anything scary nearby, I’ll let you know before you even notice!
I’m still learning how to walk confidently on a leash, but I'm doing better as I wasn't exposed to the sights and sounds of normal neighborhood life like cars. My foster mom is helping me get braver and teaching me that cars aren’t so scary if I keep my distance.
My dream home? I’d love a doggy friend to play with, a safe and secure fenced backyard to run in, and kind humans to love me forever. I'll happily join you on the couch for TV time. I will do best with an experienced dog owner and patience to allow me to decompress and learn the routine, to trust you and to build confidence in myself. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal buddy, I’m your guy! I can’t wait to meet you!

📣🚨This is why we beg for fosters, ask for donations, do fundraisers, encourage spay and neuter, vaccinations and microchipping. We need everyone’s help to save lives.

The first three tan and white puppies were set to die yesterday and they were spared because we had ONE FOSTER say yes to one and we would love to save them all, but can’t without your help.

The grey pup has chronic ear issues that went untreated for a while and are now pretty rough. We need funds to help medical dogs.

The pregnant mamas, mamas and babies, and mamas that have been overbred and dumped. We need whelping and puppy fosters.

The littles and bigs that are wonderful and just want OUT!

The scared and shy ones that don’t do well in the shelter, have not been socialized, have been raised in a group of 15+ dogs and don’t know if people are nice or not, none of these dogs asked for this and we do everything we can to help whoever we can start their new lives.

Help us help them.

🐾🟨Paws on the Block 🟨🐾After 7 months in the Paws on the Block program and a big search for the perfect match… our boy Folsom has been adopted! 💛🐾

He found the most amazing family — one that’s dedicated to him, has kids he absolutely adores, and gives him all the love and structure he needs to thrive. They drove over 2 hours just to meet him… and it was truly love at first sight. ✨

We couldn’t be happier for this sweet, loyal guy that has come so far. Congrats, Folsom! 💛🏡

We’re so excited to introduce Rusty, the newest member of the Paws on the Block program! This sweet boy was evaluated at El Dorado County Animal Services and is now beginning his training journey with our participants at Folsom State Prison. 💛

Even better news — Clyde and Cooper, two of the other dogs we met that day, have already been adopted from El Dorado County Animal Services! 🥳

We can’t wait to share updates as Rusty settles in, learns new skills, and works his way toward finding his forever home. Stay tuned — his journey is just getting started! 🐕✨

Last weekend, Foothill Dog Rescue partnered with the humane society to host a free vaccine clinic — made possible by the generous support of Subaru Shingle Springs and the Subaru Loves Pets initiative!

Thanks to the incredible teamwork of 42 volunteers, 1 dedicated veterinarian, and 7 amazing RVTs and vet assistants, we were able to serve 234 pets — including 170 dogs and 64 cats — all receiving important vaccines and care. 💉🐶🐱

Our gratitude goes out to every Foothill Dog Rescue volunteer, the Humane Society team, our amazing NCL volunteers, and everyone who donated their time and skills to help keep pets in our community healthy and safe. We are so grateful for all the pet owners that came to ensure their pets are up to date on vaccines and have their important microchips! 💛

When community, compassion, and collaboration come together — everyone wins.
