My story

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

Animal Profile:  Elio and his siblings are terrier mix puppies rescued from Central Washington. We were contacted by Valley Spay & Neuter about several young puppies found running loose on reservation land. Some of the puppies had been hit by cars, and none had access to food, water, or safe shelter.  Without a rescue placement, they would have been released back into the area. When we heard their story, we knew we had to help.  They were brought to safety and are now in the Seattle area. They are sweet, curious, and ready to find safe, loving homes.

Foster Update:  Meet Elio! He's a gentle and curious pup with a calm demeanor, though he can be a little nervous at times. Elio loves to play and explore, especially in the yard, and he's always eager to discover new things. He's not destructive and is very willing to listen and follow your lead.

Elio thrives on cuddles and enjoys light wrestling sessions with his sister Marnie, making him a loving companion. He's comfortable in his crate and is steadily making progress with house training. If you're looking for a sweet and curious pup to share your adventures, Elio might be the perfect match!

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575, which includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations per AVMA standards, microchip, negative heartworm test if over 6 months, and health certificate. Your donation may be tax deductible as DG is a 501c3 organization.
