Abby is a wonderful, quirky, intelligent momma dog who has had a rough life, but doesn't show her age or past struggles a bit!
She was found as a terribly emaciated and highly pregnant dog, giving birth to two pups: one stillborn, and one incredibly large living puppy, Tiff. She and Tiff lived happily with the family that initially found Abby, until the girls were probably 7 and 8 years old. The family ran a daycare for special needs children, and the girls had done well, but when the family added goats to the property, the girls were set on going and messing with them, so the family turned the girls over to rescue. Since then, they've sat in rescue for 2 years!
Abby and her daughter Tiff are incredibly playful, and eager to learn and do tricks. They've been with probably 8 other dogs of various ages and personalities, ranging from pups to other older dogs, and have done well.
After coming to rescue, despite (or perhaps due to) coming from a daycare situation, the girls have seemed a little uncomfortable with particularly wild children under the age of 6, and possibly children under 9-11 years old, so are recommended to a home with gentle pre-teen or older kids.
Abby and Tiff are incredibly well-behaved in the house, and do well crated as well. They travel nicely in a car, and are just really agreeable wonderful dogs!
They know how to chill and hang out, but they're also happy to let loose their inner silliness with themselves or you in the yard! Abby loves to throw herself on the ground for belly rubs, and Tiff gives the cutest smiles!!

Please read further to learn about our adoption process; and see footnote for information regarding scheduling meet and greets etc, as well as longer distance adoptions.
We encourage applicants to let us know specifics they're looking for in a dog (especially if open to considering multiple adoption candidates) and what their life and energy levels are like. From there, we can coordinate a meet and greet - depending on the dog and the adoptive situation, this can range from one meet and greet, to as many more as needed (such as with shy dogs, or dogs entering households where proper introduction is needed to existing doggy housemates). After a meet and greet, we do a home visit, where we ensure there are no dangers such as open areas in fencing, toxic plants, etc. If safety concerns are found, we discuss solutions with the family and a time-frame, and plan for a follow-up visit, hopefully ending in adoption. If there are no concerns (or any safety concerns are fixed), we then discuss the "Welcome Home Day" with family - which, again, depending on case by case basis, could be same day if everything is great and adopters' schedules permit, or scheduled for a later date.
*****
We coordinate adoption throughout Washington, and at times Oregon and California. We can generally arrange meet and greets locally to us (Ferry County) the same week of inquiry and welcome adoption applicants from anywhere (including applicants from further areas coming to us for meet and greets). We are also able and happy to coordinate meet-and-greets, home checks, and adoptions once or twice a month to areas further than Ferry County - please check with us for more information if this might apply.
Thank you for your interest in saving a life!
