Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Gentle, a little timid in unfamiliar situations, Piper is a mama's girl. But she's no snooze - left quietly to her own devices, she's quite the explorer! Piper was the first to climb out of the puppy pen, the first to discover the enormous potential of a large hole a previous dog dug in their backyard play area, the first to wriggle through a tiny gap in the backyard fence. This is one smart puppy, and she's looking for calm, kind, gentle people to be her forever family - but they'd better also be able to satisfy her desire for interesting adventures!
HISTORY
Mama dog Tahlili is an Anatolian Shepherd who had a job overseeing a small flock of goats. When her owner got rid of the goats, she had to leave too. She was heavily pregnant when he started looking on Facebook for someone to take her, and her babies were just two days old when he released them to HART. They have been together in a loving foster home ever since.
We know Tahlili's breed, and she appears to be purebred (a little small for an Anatolian, but that could be due to poor feeding). The breed of the pups' fathers can be no more than our best guess, taking into account their size and appearance.
GENERAL TEMPERAMENT & BEHAVIOR
It's too soon to know much about what kind of dogs the Floofs will grow into, but here's what we know:
Tahlili is an exceptionally calm, gentle dog who is learning to trust humans and to love being petted. She's a wonderful mother, who faithfully watches over her babies and has kept them well fed and clean from the beginning.
The Floofs have been gently handled several times a day since their first days in their foster home. They are now all confident, friendly, trusting, and very playful. They spend nights indoors, but are outside with a big yard to play in all day. They love toys, wrestling, exploring, and playing tag.
It's important to remember: the Floofs are puppies, and PUPPIES ARE HARD WORK! These little guys are just getting started - they have sharp nails and needle teeth, and they love to pounce on shoes and grab hold and tug on anything that moves! As far as they're concerned, anything and everything is for play. They still have everything to learn about being civilized members of a mainly-human family. They will trip you up, piddle on your carpet, and chew your stuff. Please don't apply to adopt a Floof unless you're sure you have the time, energy and desire to raise them right!
HEALTH STATUS
The Floofs were born on February 27, 2024. These babies are going to be BIG dogs. Based on our most recent estimate, the smallest two - Poppy and Little Dot - could reach 120 lbs, while the largest - Otis and Wrigs - could grow to 150 lbs. At this age estimates tend to be inaccurate, but they're definitely not lapdogs, even though they might want to be!
They have been fed high-quality large-breed puppy food since they began weaning (and Mama Tahlili has also been on a high quality diet, to ensure she's able to feed them well). They have been regularly dewormed, and will receive their second puppy shot, and will be microchipped, prior to adoption. It will be your responsibility to ensure they receive a full course of vaccination.
HART does not support pediatric spay/neuter, so these pups have not been sterilized. You will be required in terms of the adoption contract to have your pup sterilized by the time they are 12 months old. HART will refund you $100 upon receiving proof of adoption.

More about this rescue
People need to rehome animals for various reasons, including changed circumstances, a bad match between the pet and the family, and a desire to help an animal they have rescued find a forever home. Most conventional Animal Rescues are overwhelmed by the need, and people can wait a long time for help. Municipal Shelters do the best they can, but often euthanize "surplus" pets and, even at best, usually cannot offer an environment that makes people feel good about dropping off animals they care about. Advertising animals on Craigslist is potentially risky, especially for people with limited experience in finding quality forever homes.
Our goal is to provide support for individuals who want to help the animals in their care find the right forever home, and who either cannot find help from a Rescue or choose to work independently. We have years of experience actively volunteering for successful Rescue organizations in a senior capacity, and are well equipped to support and advise animal lovers.
We do NOT support backyard breeding, but will help individuals with "accidental litters", on condition that they have their dogs sterilized to ensure no repetition of these accidents.
We have established relationships with conventional Rescues throughout Washington, and where appropriate will help people place their pets with these Rescues.
We provide:
* A trustworthy connection between releasing owners and potential adopters
* Advice and assistance in ensuring that pets offered for adoption are healthy, sterilized and up-to-date on vaccinations
* Personal evaluation of all pets in our program, as needed (We make an effort to meet all the pets in our program but may initially rely on releasing owners for information. Potential adopters may request an evaluation at no charge if they have concerns.)
* Advice and support with the adoption process (including writing pet profiles and taking photographs and video for marketing pets to serious potential adopters, identifying good homes, background checks, documentation, participation in adoption events, setting adoption fees, etc)
* Counseling and other support, as needed (including home visits to potential adopters, provision of food and equipment, funding for vet care, rehabilitation advice, introductions to conventional rescues, etc)
