My story

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

Spazz is spazztastic! He earned his name early on based on him in general being a spazz.
He's 26lbs, neutered, vaccinated, parasite free, is chipped.
Spazz sticks close to his people and could possibly train up to walk with you off leash.
He's very oriented to his person, is great with all people and most dogs. Today he met LD and did great. He's experienced many puppies and does well teaching them how to behave and shows boundaries appropriately.
Playtime has been toys, chasing his brother pack members and on occasion he gets to rough house with a little bully that's 3x his weight.
Spazz will cuddle and sleep touching you and up behind your shoulder and head but sometimes he's asleep on my body when I wake up.
This little dynamo would excel at agility or other skill-based activities. He's very smart and easily learns new things.
Spazz lives peacefully with 2 large dogs and a chihuahua and LD.
He's crate trained and doesn't mind chewing a raw beef bone in a crate or sleeping for a couple hours.
He LOVES running and playing with toys when Lucky gets fired up. He chases reflected light, shadows, lasers, crystal prisms. Watch out for sunshine reflecting off your cell phone lol.
Spazz definitely will let you know if someone is outside your home.
He's not had a lot of cat experience and had one cornered but didn't hurt the cat. He barked, circled and will try to get them under the shed.
I believe he could learn to get along with cats with proper instruction and experiences.
Mr. Spazz could become a companion or potential support pet with training because he's so tuned into people.
Spazz is located in West Richland, Washington. He can't drive so you will need to make a trip here to meet him and he's very much worth it. His adoption fee is $400.
https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/owner-surrender/HAWA-A-71 is his application link.
You can also email HearthfireART@gmail.com for a written application.
Spazz is also available to foster or even time share if you travel often he's always got a place to go.

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)
