My story

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

* Limited Time*
We are part of the Bring LOVE Home Challenge with Best Friends Network, and are offering discounted adoption donations and expedited processing on all adult dogs in the rescue for December! Be a part of Bringing Love Home for the Holidays!

Cheddar - literally the BIG Cheese! Handsome Cheddar came to us as a retired breeder stud. He has mostly lived outdoors on his farm, and obviously helped himself to seconds (and thirds!). Cheddar is such a beautiful soul, now working on his weight and skin issues at his foster, for the first time he is learning all about soft places to sleep, toys and cuddles!

Cheddar does so well with other dogs, and humans, he just needs that perfect home to continue his weight loss journey and live that good PNW life! Cheddar can do stairs and loves to run around the yard, and with a continued weight loss of 30-40 pounds ahead, nothing will stop Cheddar now. All he really needs beyond his diet is a person to be his best friend and partner through life.

Cheddar loves to run in the yard, no lazy bones here. Cheddar had to be partially shaved to remove horrible matting, and his grooming will be tuned up and evened out soon. And hair grows back - just ask any golden retriever parent!

Cheddar is current on his vaccinations, Microchipped and is neutered as a part of his adoption donation.

More about this rescue

We are a committed group of dog lovers who have decades of experience in dog rescue, volunteering at animal shelters and owning rescue dogs. Most recently, our two founders, have been working with rescuing dogs from Mexico and the Asian dog meat trade as well as California kill shelters, Midwest puppy mill breeder releases and rehoming owner surrendered dogs in Washington and Oregon.

Deciding that we are able to rescue more by combining forces, Pacific Rim Rescue was formed. Our mission is to rescue dogs from devastating conditions from countries of the Pacific Rim.

We are committed to providing foster homes, veterinary and behavioral training for these dogs, so that they may live happy and fulfilling lives in their forever homes.
