***MUST SUBMIT APPLICATION before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thank You for your cooperation***
Please read listings fully to the end before applying for one of our beloved rescues.
WE ARE NOT A SHELTER; WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS.
Please do not contact us to look at a dog. We will contact you once we have reviewed your completed application if we think your home might be a good fit. A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog.
We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes around the US and Canada, but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA.
Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Chase Quick Pay via Zelle, PayPal, or cash.
Soul destroying is the only way to look back & see Dovy in a kill shelter in CA in a picture of her posted on social media. This picture would make you cry because you could see from her body just how much she had been abused & used over & over & over again. This beautiful lady had an owner & was dumped at the shelter because they were finished using her. We could not bare to leave this beautiful girl there & as it was she desperately needed out as her time had run out at the kill shelter. No way were we going to let her stay in a death camp of a scary shelter in CA.
That day was 1 very sad & joyous day all at the same time. We got Dovy out of the shelter & low & behold we found out when we went to spay her, she was pregnant. Dovy had her babies but unfortunately they all went to heaven, no surprises unfortunately because we knew she was not looked after, nor loved, nor cared for at all. This girl is so outstanding, she has endured so much & yet is still full of life, love & enthusiasm for joy. Our wonderful vet discovered a large mass & she needed her spleen removed, so we got her spleen removed. She originally was not impressed by other dogs probably because of all the times she was forced to have puppies but now this beautiful girl loves other dogs & is so forgiving of what humans did to her.
Dovy who is now looking for her very own forever home who will never give up on her again & love her just as we all do.
After we got Dovy out of the kill shelter she was brought back to WA state from CA where she can’t wait to find her devoted loving forever home.
The picture of Dovy in the kill shelter it says just how sad she was & how she had been used over & over as a breeding machine to make money off her back. Her poor boobies at the time were touching the ground. She is unrecognizable to that picture to the little lady she is today. She was very thin, she needed to put on a lot of weight, which now she has. Her zest for life is like no other. She has endured so much with losing her babies & from needing her spleen removed. She just wants to be loved & she so loves you back. She looks as though she is smiling with glee when she gets her picture taken. Disturbing to think no one wanted her & she was ready to die. The level of absolute madness here is so deeply sad for many of these beautiful souls out of CA kill shelters.
Dovy is a very soft gentle soul, she is so easy to love considering what he has endured. She loves everyone she meets & enjoys being cuddled to & given love. She will bowl you over with her enthusiasm for joy & her happiness. Sweet Dovy foes not have a mean bone in her beautiful body. That being said, Dovy is a good eater, she loves to eat & she is making up for lost time.
Dovy’s new forever home must have a fully fenced secured backyard.
Dovy has now been great with her baths because she started having them with us the moment she was rescued so she is used to them. We don’t know how many baths she previously had before coming to us, it appeared to be a shock to her system having a bath for the first time. Then the many times after as she needed medicated baths for skin infection.
Dovy now rides beautifully in the car & enjoys a good journey & still needs continued work walking on her harness & leash. She is a big strong girl who gets very, very excited when on her harness leash. We are looking for a forever home for Dovy where someone is home during the day or she can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them & there must be another dog or dogs in the home for her to thrive. Dovy loves other dogs & needs another dog in the home to play with. This is mandatory for her new home. We are also looking for a crate free home for the little lady only. She was in the dreaded shelter until we rescued her.
Dovy is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love her as she should be loved & be patient with her.
Dovy has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & she is currently with other dogs & does well with them & enjoys their company. It’s mandatory for her to be in a home with playful dogs.
Dovy is roughly just a 5 years old & roughly
59 lbs & is perhaps a American pit bull, what she is mixed with we are not sure. She is female, spayed, came out of the shelter with a bad skin infection along with a ear infection that she came out of the shelter with. We treated her & got her better before she could go under anesthesia. Dovy had a dental, scale & polish & dental x-rays along with a incisor & premolar removed. Dovy had to have her spleen removed because it had a mass on it. Her spleen was sent away to be tested & it was a benign splenic mass, she is microchipped, heart worm negative, given flea treatment, up to date on her shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, CIV, rabies & dewormed.
We have spent over $3000 on Dovy, getting her safe, well & healthy with all of her medical care & needs.
Dovy has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together. We have not had her around small children so we do not recommend small children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children.
We were not there when Dovy was conceived so we do not know who her parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think her breed is.
As with all of our rescues & Dovy’s friends he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Dovy potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond.
We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying.
Dovy has been through many traumas in her short time on this earth so when applying this needs to be kept in mind & for her care.
Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Dovy & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit due to covid & followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Dovy who understands her needs & that meet all the requirements for this spirited little lady.
Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately.
Dovy has an adoption fee of $500 & is ready for her truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what she has been through.
