January 2026 Adoptables
Hey 2026! I see you…
Another year, another adorable Foster Photo Day!
This year, you can help us make a greater impact through sponsoring one or more of our Foster Photo Days through our brand new Rescue Lens Sponsorship Program.
The Rescue Lens aims to connect local brands and businesses with visibility while allowing them to help homeless dogs in need. It’s a win-win for everyone (and a marketing budget write off!).
Even if you aren’t a business and you want to support our Foster Photo Day initiatives, you can make a monetary contribution here, shop our merchandise, or even pick up something for the pups off of our wishlist.
Without further ado, here are the adorable animals I had the pleasure to meet and photograph as part of our January Foster Photo Day!
Know someone looking to adopt? Feel free to share their profile or this post with them!
Want to give more visibility to your business and help dogs in need? Consider becoming a Rescue Lens Collective Business Sponsor. Learn more about Rescue Lens Sponsorship Program here!
LUDWIG - PERFECTLY IMPERFECT PUPS
If you’ve ever dreamed of living with a tiny, determined old man who navigates life entirely by commitment and vibes — Ludwig is your guy.
Before Ludwig was surrendered to a local shelter with his siblings, he spent far too long living in a cramped little crate. Now that he finally has space in a foster home, he’s exploring like he’s training for a very small, very adorable expedition. Walls? Interesting. Furniture legs? Intriguing. Your shins? His preferred landmark.
Despite not seeing or hearing a thing, Ludwig is wildly curious and surprisingly confident. He conquered the stairs almost instantly and now struts around like a miniature landlord checking his property. It is likely Ludwig has always been blind, but we are unsure if he has always been deaf.
Ludwig is obsessed with being scratched and he LOVES playing with his humans. Toys? No interest. Other dogs? Sure. But humans? You’re the main event. He snores with the confidence of a full-grown bear, despite being roughly the size of a sandwich.
Potty training is going well as long as he sticks to his schedule, and he’s working on basic training with a level of enthusiasm that makes up for the whole “can’t hear commands” situation. He’s smart, he’s spirited, and he’s powered entirely by determination, an amazing sniffer, and touch.
If you want a senior pup with the enthusiasm of a puppy, the determination of a tiny explorer, and the comedic timing of a seasoned entertainer, Ludwig is your guy. Be prepared to laugh a lot — this little man is pure joy on four legs.
WINNIE - PAWFECT MATCH
If you’re looking for a pup who will shower you with endless love, Winnie is your girl!
This young sweetheart has a heart as big as her puppy energy. Winnie loves everyone she meets: people, dogs, and even cats (though the kitties are still teaching her about personal space ). She’s the queen of neck scratches and snuggles and hasn’t met a stranger yet.
✨ A little more about Winnie:
• Young, full of love & energy
• Plays wonderfully with other dogs
• Cat-friendly (just wants to play!)
• Great with kids, though still learning not to jump when excited
• Crate trained and eager to learn more — with a little consistency, she’ll master potty training in no time!
• Professional cuddler and lap-hopper (personal space? Never heard of it!)
At a recent puppy event, Winnie spent the whole time loving on everyone — dogs, people, and especially one lucky man who got a full face of Winnie kisses.
Winnie would thrive in a home ready to give her love, playtime, and gentle guidance as she grows. She’s ready to be someone’s best friend for life.
ALADDIN - PAWFECT MATCH
Aladdin is a lively 6-month-old Lab–Terrier mix with a heart as big as his playful spirit. We expect himt to be around 50 lb when fully grown, making him just the right size for a loving home. Aladdin loves to run around and play in short burst. When done he is ready to be a lazy guy!
Personality & Temperament
Truly dog-friendly—he lights up when he gets to play with his four-legged buddies.
Smart, curious, and always eager for a game or a learning session.
Affectionate—expect puppy kisses, gentle cuddles, and maybe a headrest on your lap when he’s feeling extra cozy.
Soulful eyes- his eyes will draw you in an melt your heart
One ear with a mind of it's own- up down, who knows?
