My story

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 the Z Litter! Talk about a crazy mix of breeds. DNA is all over the place - Bully / Shepherd / Dobie / Cattle Dog / even breeds like Lab, Chihuahua and Poodle. Totally Mutts - our favorite breed. We included a photo of mommy Zahara - who also looks like a total mutt.

Zander and sister Zelda are the biggest pups in the litter - 11# at 9 weeks. They are pretty sweet - and don't have a lot of fear. They are being fostered together with a bunch of other dogs, and even another SAM foster pup - Cecil. He's a pushover for their puppy play. His foster mom says he is very sweet. Zander is brave outside and has investigated every nook and cranny (with Cecil supervising). He's been a little challenging to get photos of... either looking demure or bouncing over the other dogs!

When they go home, this puppy will be neutered, microchipped and vaccinated to appropriate age when they go home. They will need more puppy shots at 12 weeks, and at 16 weeks. Puppies are good with dogs, cats, kids and more. Being a puppy, they will need lots of training, including housebreaking. Remember, puppies are cute, but they have sharp teeth, need to be fed 3 times a day and poop... a lot!

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. Save-A-Mutt highly recommends puppy classes. You must be willing to start socializing and training as soon vaccinations are completed at 16 weeks. We will provide trainer recommendations.

Adoptions typically take place in Arlington.
Adoption fee is $475. Save-A-Mutt is a registered 501c3 and half of your adoption fee may be tax deductible.

Save-A-Mutt is a foster based rescue, we do not have a facility to visit. Our adoptions are typically done Monday - Saturday, we are closed on Sunday’s to give our volunteers at least one day off. You must be available to do meets and adoptions during that time frame. We can make exceptions only with the approval of the foster home.

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.

More about this rescue

Save-A-Mutt is dedicated to creating awareness about the number of adoptable dogs in shelters and rescues... and to find every dog its forever home! We do this by raising funds to A) cover the costs of transporting litters of puppies from high kill shelters to spay/neuter and adopt out; B) Focus on the welfare and final placement of Senior Dogs relinquished at area shelters, and C) assist and support local rescue groups. In addition, we hold a firm belief that 'Puppies aren't Products' and hope to stop the sale of puppies and kittens in Washington State pet stores.
