My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

FOREVER HOME NEEDED
Meet this sweet boy, Jethro! He is a 3-year-old, 55 LB Australian Shepherd mix who came to us as a stray from an overcrowded shelter in CA in hopes of finding his forever home here in WA! He is currently living in a foster home with two other female dogs.

Jethro is a very good boy! He LOVES to play fetch and being with his people. His ideal forever home is with a family who is home often to engage with him and not gone long hours. He loves connecting with people and will play fetch all day long!

Jethro is also very smart, learns quickly, and is motivated by treats and toys. He knows basic commands and takes treats gently. He walks well on leash and stays close to his people. He can show some reactivity towards other male dogs on leash and will pull and will need an attentive adopter.

Jethro does well with most dogs and can live with them but honestly is more interested in the companionship of humans rather than dogs and would likely prefer to be an only dog where he can get all of the love and attention. Although he would also be fine with another dog in the home who is not looking for a dog companion.

He can be sensitive when about where he is touched and doesn’t like to be surprised (such as when he is sleeping) so we are recommending a home without young children. He has shown some prey drive toward neighborhood cats on walks and may not be the best fit with cats in the home. He is trainable and nonchalant, so he may be able to live with them but will need slow introductions. We are looking for a standalone home (no apartments or condos) with a fully fenced yard for him, preferably not in a busy city area.

This boy has a lot of love to give and will make for a very loyal companion and amazing adventure buddy!

Jethro is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $500.

More about this rescue

Forever Home Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We receive dogs from owner surrenders and overcrowded shelters. All of the dogs are housed in private, loving foster homes or a kennel in the greater Seattle area. We assess their behaviors and health and help them relax during their transition to a forever home. The dogs remain in foster care or in our kenneling facility until they are adopted. All of the dogs are/or will be spayed or neutered, microchipped and are current on routine vaccinations.

Forever home dog rescue is not a shelter and thus you cannot see the dogs without an appointment.

We need foster homes! Thinking about adopting a dog, but not sure yet about which breed or if you're ready for the long-term commitment? Consider becoming a foster parent. A foster dog placement can be anywhere from two weeks to several months. We provide any dog supplies you may need and cover all necessary medical costs for your foster dog. You provide the love and attention and bring the dogs to adoption events at least twice per month.

Interested? Send us an email at fhdrwa@gmail.com and we'll send you a foster application. It's lots of fun and you will meet lots of dogs and other people who love dogs.
