Here's what the humans have to say about me:
FIRST STEPS: Please visit https://www.save-a-mutt.org/adoption-application/ to fill out an application - a Petfinder Inquiry is not the adoption process. We don't do meet and greets until applications have been approved. All our dogs are located IN Washington State - we are a local foster based rescue and no transport from another state required. :) Thanks!

Meet Harvey. This sweet boy was adopted from us over 6 years ago and the family had a change of life. He just became a senior boy, turning 7 years old. A recent move had Harvey anxious and unhappy. He had lived his whole life with a littermate. He was returned to us we are a little perplexed, as Harvey settled in happily to his foster home. He's an active boy, but also a couch potato.
Harvey became a little dog selective, we think he would be awesome (and happier) as an only dog - except when it comes to his 'kennel mate' Alabama. She too is a little selective, but they have hit it off. He loves men! Harvey has been in a kennel type foster for too many months now. But... they LOVE him. He bounces between couch time, and go go go. We just started him with BarkTrek, an outdoor adventure dog hiking company. It's giving him a chance to burn off energy for sure. Harvey does settle down, hanging out in the office with the owner of the kennel.
We think a feline free home would be best. Harvey is doing great medically, he just had a full physical and even a dental. He has another Senior Dog exam coming up.
Harvey will need a fully fenced yard - with a typical 6 foot fence - or acreage. He has super long 'kangaroo' legs and he can easily hope over a short fence. Daily walks, a tired dog is a good dog, would be awesome. Harvey also loves water!

This dog is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated. Each dog goes home with a goody bag including collar/leash, toys, chews, Kong, and more. You will receive all medical records, microchip transfer form and other paperwork at the time of adoption.
Adoptions take place in Stanwood / Arlington.
Adoption fee is $150. Save-A-Mutt is a registered 501c3 and half of your adoption fee may be tax deductible.
Please note, we have approximately a 300 mile adoption radius - Portland OR area and Vancouver BC is the farthest north. We don’t ship dogs, once approved you must pick them up in Snohomish County, WA. Canadian adopters must be able to come to Stanwood WA to pick up your puppy.
