Meet the coolest boy in town. Spidey is a 4 year old 72 pound hunk of love. He can be the biggest couch potato if you let him or an energizer bunny at the drop of a dime. He loves to go on walks, runs or hikes. Car rides are his favorite especially if he gets treats at the bank and coffee shops A fenced yard is a must for this big boy so he can explore at his leisure. Spidey is good with most dogs with proper introductions. He loves all people and good with kids. Due to his size I would recommend kids over 8 years old. He is a big strong powerful boy who sometimes forgets his strength and speed and may knock over small children on accident. He loves to chew, so good bones are a must for him. He has a tail that will not stop wagging and tongue that loves to kiss. So far him and the fosters cats are not getting along well so a no cat household would be best but with training he could learn to get along with a cat. He is a good watch dog and will alert you when you have company.

Rescue Group Info...
The Alternative Humane Society is an all-volunteer, nonprofit animal welfare organization serving Whatcom County, WA. AHS has been helping animals and educating the public since 1977.
We have no shelter, office, or paid staff. Our programs include Canine Foster & Adoption, Spay & Neuter Assistance, and Community Cats Information and Referral.
Mission Statement: The Alternative Humane Society of Whatcom County is an all-volunteer, non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to improving the lives of dogs and cats and helping them find and stay in permanent loving homes.
Our goals are:
• To make Whatcom County a community where no healthy animals are euthanized
• To prevent unwanted dog and cat births through spay and neuter assistance
• To cultivate respect and awareness for the needs of animals through education
• To advocate for the humane treatment of dogs and cats in all areas of life
We can be found showing off our loveable dogs at Petco on Bakerview and Guide Meridian in Bellingham on the 1st and 2nd weekend of each month. We also hold an adopt-a-thon the third Saturday of every month at Pet Palace, also on the Guide Meridian in Bellingham. All our showings are between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm. Come on out and say hi!
AHS does not do same-day adoptions. We provide a form called a “Statement of Interest” for potential adopters to fill out. When completed, this form is reviewed by an AHS volunteer (the animal’s Case Manager) who will contact the potential adopter with any additional questions and arrange a meeting if it looks like a good match. The potential adopter usually hears back from a volunteer within 2-3 days, but since many of our volunteers also work at full-time jobs, the entire process can take longer. Although we try our very best we usually will not be able to contact every person who submits a Statement of Interest, we reserve our limited resources for those who look like a good match.
Adoption Fees:
Dogs under 18 months – $170
Dogs over 18 months – $145
Senior dogs (older than 8 years) – $95
