If you’re looking for a partner in crime for every trail and trek, this vibrant girl is ready to grow right alongside you. Poppy is a total firecracker with a heart of gold and a personality that sparkles! She is the definition of "life of the party," greeting every single person she meets like a long lost best friend. Don't let her athletic prowess fool you Poppy is a "Gentle Giant" through and through. Whether she’s giving out enthusiastic hugs or showing off her lightning fast learning skills, Poppy brings an infectious, super fun energy to every room she enters. She’s the kind of dog who makes every day feel like a sunny afternoon in the park. Believe us her moves are something you don’t want to miss, See her zoomies in action! https://youtu.be/Yzc8F6Ou5MA What makes Poppy truly special is her incredible bond with her humans; she is a total velcro dog who just wants to be where the action is! While she has the drive of an adventurer, she is also a world class lounger who loves to hang out on the couch after a day of play. She loves her "private mini room!" Poppy is crate trained and views her space as a cozy sanctuary to relax. She’s been living and playing with smaller dogs (around 17 lbs) and has shown she’s a social butterfly who loves to lick her foster siblings' faces every morning to say "hello." She’s a smart cookie who picks up on house rules in a heartbeat! Poppy knows exactly how to scale down her play to be gentle with small dogs, and she’s a master of the "play bow" to make sure everyone knows she’s a friend, not a foe. She is a dream on a walk and a proud member of the loose leash club. No pulling here just a girl who loves to stroll and take in the sights. No accidents here! She is a pro at keeping her space clean and follows a household routine perfectly. Incredibly smart, perfectly gentle, and always ready for the next ride. She is a loving explorer at heart, always ready to navigate a new hiking trail or scout out the best local coffee shop patio with you by her side. We suspect Poppy is a Belgian Malinois mix, which means she’s got the brains and the beauty! Weighing in at a sleek 45 pounds, she is that perfect medium size big enough to keep up on a run, but compact enough to easily hop in the car for a weekend getaway. Of course, with any rescue, her breed is a bit of a mystery, but her intelligence and stunning coat are 100% pure bred Good Girl. When it comes to other dogs, Poppy is a social superstar! She loves a good game of chase and is a play bow professional. She isn't just a pretty face (though that coat and those perked up ears speak for themselves!). She’s a vocal girl, but not for no reason she just loves to chat and invite her friends to join the party. Great with friends, but is just as happy to be your one and only! She would be happiest in a home with a medium energy dog who can keep up with her fun loving wrestling matches but also knows when it’s time to take a collective nap. Whether she’s sharing her favorite toys, wrestling on the couch, or inviting a buddy to play with one of her signature "are you ready to play" chirps, she is a polite and playful companion who would make an amazing addition to a multi dog household. Poppy thinks she’s the star of the show, so she’s looking for a feline free home! She’d much rather spend her time focusing on her human friends or playing "tag" with her canine buddies than worrying about what a kitty is up to. To keep everyone happy and wagging, she’s sticking to a cat free lifestyle where she can be her best, bouncy self. The ideal home for Poppy is one that matches her zest for life! Because she’s a brilliant working breed mix, she’d love an active adopter who enjoys training or outdoor adventures. She would adore a house with a yard to zoom in, but she could also be a rockstar apartment dog for a active person who treats the city as their playground. Something cute about her? She’s a talker with her paws she’ll invite you to play with the most adorable little dances! In Short: Poppy is Perfection! She is a brilliant, affectionate, and adventurous soul who is just waiting for the right person to lead the way. She’s also a bit of a home decorator when she’s feeling playful on the couch, she loves to rearrange the pillows to get her setup just right. It’s just one of the many quirky ways she brings joy and laughter to her foster home every day. She’s got the brains of a scholar and the heart of a puppy, making her the ultimate companion for a life lived out loud.

Jade is the kind of dog who makes you realize just how much heart can fit into one very wiggly, very beautiful pup. She’s a young Belgian Malinois / German Shepherd mix, and she carries all the brilliance, drive, and devotion that comes with those working-breed roots wrapped up in one incredibly affectionate girl. At her core, Jade is a happy, social, people-loving dog who thrives on connection. She adores being close to her humans, leans in for affection, and will happily soak up every bit of attention you’re willing to give. Once she’s comfortable, her sweet, playful side really shines—she enjoys cuddles just as much as she enjoys a good game of fetch, and she has that endearing “all in” enthusiasm for everything she does. Watch how cute she is in her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/oSRaJttKOh4?si=DRQVrTWWotdlkd_c Jade is currently fostered in a lively home with six other dogs and two cats, and she fits right into the pack. She absolutely loves other animals and draws a lot of her confidence from being around them. In fact, she would do best in a home with another friendly, playful dog who can help guide her, keep her company, and be her playmate. She truly lights up when she has a canine friend nearby—it helps her feel grounded and happy. With cats, Jade is respectful and gentle. She’s curious and interested in interacting, so she would do best with a dog-savvy cat who can confidently set boundaries. When they do, she listens and adjusts well. She just really wants to be part of the group and share space and energy with everyone around her. Because of her breed mix, Jade is very intelligent and very driven. She’s a “doer” who thrives when she has structure, enrichment, and things to think about. Puzzle toys, training sessions, games of fetch, and daily physical activity are all things that make her feel fulfilled and balanced. Without outlets for her energy and brain, she can become frustrated, so she’s looking for a home that understands and appreciates a working dog’s needs. Jade would do best in a home with a yard where she can safely stretch her legs, run, play, and burn off some of that natural energy throughout the day. While walks and outings are wonderful, having a secure outdoor space will really help set her up for success and give her the freedom she needs to thrive. On leash, Jade is still polishing her manners. She gets very excited about seeing other dogs and may bark or pull in her eagerness to say hello and play. This isn’t from a place of reactivity or aggression—she’s simply overflowing with enthusiasm and social energy. With consistent, positive training and someone who enjoys working with dogs, she will absolutely continue to improve. In new environments, Jade can feel a bit unsure at first. She may be anxious while she settles in and looks to other animals for reassurance. Once she adjusts, her confidence grows, and her true personality—playful, loving, and loyal—comes forward beautifully. She just needs a little patience at the beginning to show how amazing she really is. Jade is also believed to be a wonderful candidate for a family environment, including homes with children, as she has such a gentle, affectionate, and social nature. Of course more testing can always be done to ensure the perfect match for everyone involved. She is not the kind of dog who fits into a low-key, “walk around the block and chill” lifestyle. She’s a companion for someone who wants a partner—someone who enjoys training, activity, adventure, and building a strong bond with their dog. In the right home, she’s going to be incredibly devoted. She bonds deeply, learns quickly, and wants nothing more than to be included in life. She is stunning, affectionate, eager, and full of potential. With structure, exercise, companionship, and love, Jade will absolutely blossom into the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog who feels like she was meant to be by your side. Adopt her now!

Fenyx is a total love bug with his human and just wants to please! He wants to just be near you - total Velcro dog - he does the best contact heel, gives the best kisses and hugs!He is super smart but such a wiggle butt when learning, so eager, such a puppy with high energy - it's adorable and hilarious! He learns quickly and it's really fun to watch him grow and thrive!He has high food drive and works super well for it! Because he has high prey drive, we think his toy drive can be built but food is definitely his go to!We hope to find a forever human for him who likes to mold their pup into a great canine citizen!  What he knows: Name House manners Potty trained Sit, Down, Place, Crate, Stay, Bed, Here, Stand, Front, Leave it esp around prey [all in progress vs prooved] .  He's being trained in German mostly but once dogs learn the behavior it's not that hard to change the language.  Obedience: Heeling on both sides and Loose Leash Walking Touch command [in progress] Recall / Off leash work - doing well but at this time he can only go where he won't run into stranger dogs, however he can recall from prey unless he's 100% committed Ecollar conditioned Thresholds Crate trained What he is actively working on Calm behavior and reducing impulsivity and reactivity Settling Trusting new handlers Independence Muzzle Training Who he is good with and Where he needs more work Dogs: He is great with his foster sisters! With proper, slow introductions, he CAN integrate into a home with dogs. He is not really a playmate. His foster sister worked on him for almost two month before he finally played with her. He has a bit of a rough style but takes corrections well. He defers to his foster siblings and has never shown any resource guarding or reactivity to them! Stranger Dogs: He is reactive to dogs he doesn't know. He has been working on this through board and train and ongoing training. He has been part of group training to work on being ok around dogs and has done very well. He will need continued work and exposure.  People: He LOVES them but he cannot be trusted when he is overstimulated! When he is too triggered he can panic bite [never punctured skin]. He has been working on this in Board and Train and his foster has continued the work. He has been able to be handled by others and has NEVER touched his foster mom, which tells us that once he trusts, he trusts and loves forever! He is a dog that his human has to read well, manage his arousal level while also continuing to work on it via exposure.  Prey animals: he has super high prey drive and when he locks in he has a hard time recalling. However, when caught early, he responds well.  Fenyx loves affection, pets, cuddles, hugs from his person! He is the best weighted blanket, the best dancer and hugger! He has the sweetest face that you can't resist! He uses his legs in the funniest ways. He will just lean on you b/c he knows you're his rock! He loves to be close and touching. He can sometimes be a trip hazard but could also be an amazing contact heeler! He's the quintessential VELCRO dog! He might enjoy scent work or NASDA as he does not let go of a scent when he catches it! His foster took him to barn hunt and NASDA intro and once he caught a wiff of the rats, he was very interested. He will need to learn to focus and then can likely hone that skill. He is also getting a hang of agility. Foster mom has a few things in the yard and he has no issues going over the ramp, up the ladder and through the tunnel! Ideal Home Dedicated and Experienced home: He would love someone who is excited about training sessions, sets good boundaries and can build confidence. Active home: We hope his forever human likes to take him running or go on adventures in the forest vs the city! He is not a party boy, family dog or Golden Retriever-type dog. He is more like a soldier who needs instructions and wants to work or he becomes dysregualated! He really just needs someone who is willing to put in the time! Less humans in the home would be ideal but he never had an issue with foster's partner He would thrive in a place with property to run and explore. He requires more work to be able to frequent busy trails No children or cats, small dogs or prey animals in the home  His foster experiences him as the sweetest, most affectionate and cuddly dog there is BUT he just doesn't know what to do when he's overwhelmed. He can be that for you once he fully trust.  He will need a human who really gets the Malinois mind in an insecure body! He needs someone who understands a rescue Malinois! He needs someone who is willing to take on a challenge and run with it because it will make a difference in this dog's life! He needs a lot of boundaries, structure, confidence building and proper introduction to the world. What you get in return is everlasting love and loyalty! He will do anything you ask, trust you and be your die hard partner in crime Cute Anectodes from Foster Mom "Fenyx thinks he is a lap dog and will find a way to make it work""He is such an eager pup...he wants to do right and is so excited when we train""Fenyx has learned that he has to wait on his bed during meal prep and often will put himself there""He loves being touched and will seek out my hand, just putting his muzzle in it, holding it there gently [sometimes less gentle]""Sometimes, he just nuzzles into my chest, lets out a big sigh and just looks at peace being so close and comforted, it just melts my heart""He at times looks like a deer hopping through tall grass which is the cutest thing in a 65# boy""He gives the best kisses and is a great dance partner""Sometimes he nibbles on me when he is feeling spunky" Fenyx has so much LOVE to give and is just waiting for his furever match! Would that be you?   We really hope YOU are out there!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Gennaro is an outgoing, social puppy who loves meeting new people and making new friends. She’s incredibly friendly with veterinary staff, enjoys neighborhood walks and adventures at the tree farm, and approaches life with endless curiosity. She loves to climb and explore anything she can reach. While loud barking behind fences can make her a little nervous, she remains very dog-social and eagerly wants to greet every dog she sees. She appears more sensitive to the noise itself than to the dogs. She’s confident in new environments and has even slept through an outdoor concert. Until her vaccines are complete, she travels comfortably in a carrier and adjusts well to new experiences. Gennaro also has some funny quirks — she happily drinks from the garden hose or kitchen sink whenever given the chance. Gennaro is developing both her food and toy motivation and is showing lots of promise in training. She loves soft tug toys and is learning that fetch means bringing the toy back, though she still thinks moving leashes are fair game for tugging too. She has started clicker training and already offers an automatic sit in hopes of treats or attention. She enjoys Kongs, food puzzles, and is beginning to learn recall, down, and heel using positive reinforcement. She is doing very well with crate training and typically only vocalizes when she needs to go potty. She’s particular about where she likes to poop in the yard and may try to hold it if she can’t access her preferred spot. She tolerates baths and nail trims well, especially with the help of Kong cheese spray as a reward. She has also adjusted nicely to riding quietly in a crate in the car, especially when she can stay close to her person. Gennaro is still learning appropriate dog manners and would likely thrive with a playful younger dog companion. She currently lacks good manners around cats and small animals, often trying to play by tackling, so she will need guidance and supervision. Depending on how her drive develops as she matures, she may not be suitable for a home with cats long term. She has not yet been introduced to children. She has the potential to become an incredible adventure companion and could excel in activities such as hiking, Fast CAT, dock diving, agility, nose work, or even beginner bite work. While she does not currently show the drive for detection work, she is still very young and may continue to mature over time. Gennaro would make an excellent companion for an active, adventurous owner — especially someone who enjoys hiking, backpacking, travel, or van life. She may also be a wonderful introduction to higher-energy working breeds for the right person. Continued crate training and building independence skills will be important for her development to help prevent separation anxiety and encourage confidence when left alone. Note: Gennaro has a small notch in one ear from a play accident with an older dog. It is purely cosmetic.

Meet the Jurassic Park Litter & Momma Indy 🦖🐾 These incredible pups—our Jurassic Park Litter—and their amazing mom, Indy, have a rescue story worth celebrating. Indy and her puppies were placed on a euthanasia list at a California shelter, and we knew we couldn’t let their story end there. Thanks to a donated freedom ride, they made their way safely to Bellingham and into a loving foster home. Indy has been an exceptional mom, raising a happy, healthy, and well-socialized litter. These pups have been growing up in a foster home environment and have been an absolute joy—loving, smart, and full of personality. These puppies are Belgian Malinois, a highly intelligent, loyal, and energetic working breed. Malinois are known for forming strong bonds with their people and excelling in training—but they are not your average dog. They require daily physical exercise, consistent mental stimulation, and structure to thrive. 👉 Learn more about the Belgian Malinois breed here: https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/belgian-malinois/ Because of the needs of this breed, a family committed to training is required. Prior experience with working breeds is a plus, and these pups will do best in active homes ready to invest time, consistency, and leadership into helping them grow into well-balanced adult dogs. If you’re ready for a loyal, driven, and incredibly rewarding companion, one of these pups could be the perfect fit for you.

Meet Indy – Our Incredible Momma Malinois 💛 Indy is a beautiful three-year-old Belgian Malinois who has already proven just how special she is. She was found as a very pregnant stray and gave birth to 11 puppies in a crowded shelter. When Indy and her puppies were placed on the euthanasia list, we knew we couldn’t let that be their story. Thanks to a donated freedom ride, Indy made her way from California to Washington and into a loving foster home where she has truly thrived. Indy has been an amazing mom. She has raised all 11 of her puppies with patience and care, teaching them important social skills and proper manners. Now that her puppies are growing up, it’s finally Indy’s turn to find the forever home she deserves. She does great on walks, has attended adoption events, and has met several other dogs with positive interactions. As her puppies are weaned, she will continue to be introduced to more dogs in off-leash and free-play settings. Indy is a large girl, weighing around 90 lbs, and like many Malinois, she is intelligent, loyal, and driven. She will need a home that understands the needs of her breed and is committed to providing daily mental stimulation, structure, and physical exercise. If you’re not familiar with the breed, we highly recommend doing your research to ensure it’s the right fit: https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/belgian-malinois/ Indy has given everything to her puppies—now it’s her turn to be someone’s whole world.

While she has the drive of an adventurer, she is also a world class lounger who loves to hang out on the couch after a day of play. She loves her "private mini room!" Poppy is crate trained and views her space as a cozy sanctuary to relax. She’s been living and playing with smaller dogs (around 17 lbs) and has shown she’s a social butterfly who loves to lick her foster siblings' faces every morning to say "hello." She’s a smart cookie who picks up on house rules in a heartbeat! Poppy knows exactly how to scale down her play to be gentle with small dogs, and she’s a master of the "play bow" to make sure everyone knows she’s a friend, not a foe.

Poppy thinks she’s the star of the show, so she’s looking for a feline free home! She’d much rather spend her time focusing on her human friends or playing "tag" with her canine buddies than worrying about what a kitty is up to. To keep everyone happy and wagging, she’s sticking to a cat free lifestyle where she can be her best, bouncy self. The ideal home for Poppy is one that matches her zest for life! Because she’s a brilliant working breed mix, she’d love an active adopter who enjoys training or outdoor adventures. She would adore a house with a yard to zoom in, but she could also be a rockstar apartment dog for a active person who treats the city as their playground. Something cute about her? She’s a talker with her paws she’ll invite you to play with the most adorable little dances! In Short: Poppy is Perfection! She is a brilliant, affectionate, and adventurous soul who is just waiting for the right person to lead the way. She’s also a bit of a home decorator when she’s feeling playful on the couch, she loves to rearrange the pillows to get her setup just right.

Jade is the kind of dog who makes you realize just how much heart can fit into one very wiggly, very beautiful pup. She’s a young Belgian Malinois / German Shepherd mix, and she carries all the brilliance, drive, and devotion that comes with those working-breed roots wrapped up in one incredibly affectionate girl. At her core, Jade is a happy, social, people-loving dog who thrives on connection. She adores being close to her humans, leans in for affection, and will happily soak up every bit of attention you’re willing to give. Once she’s comfortable, her sweet, playful side really shines—she enjoys cuddles just as much as she enjoys a good game of fetch, and she has that endearing “all in” enthusiasm for everything she does. Watch how cute she is in her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/oSRaJttKOh4?si=DRQVrTWWotdlkd_c Jade is currently fostered in a lively home with six other dogs and two cats, and she fits right into the pack. She absolutely loves other animals and draws a lot of her confidence from being around them. In fact, she would do best in a home with another friendly, playful dog who can help guide her, keep her company, and be her playmate. She truly lights up when she has a canine friend nearby—it helps her feel grounded and happy. With cats, Jade is respectful and gentle. She’s curious and interested in interacting, so she would do best with a dog-savvy cat who can confidently set boundaries. When they do, she listens and adjusts well. She just really wants to be part of the group and share space and energy with everyone around her. Because of her breed mix, Jade is very intelligent and very driven. She’s a “doer” who thrives when she has structure, enrichment, and things to think about. Puzzle toys, training sessions, games of fetch, and daily physical activity are all things that make her feel fulfilled and balanced. Without outlets for her energy and brain, she can become frustrated, so she’s looking for a home that understands and appreciates a working dog’s needs. Jade would do best in a home with a yard where she can safely stretch her legs, run, play, and burn off some of that natural energy throughout the day. While walks and outings are wonderful, having a secure outdoor space will really help set her up for success and give her the freedom she needs to thrive. On leash, Jade is still polishing her manners. She gets very excited about seeing other dogs and may bark or pull in her eagerness to say hello and play. This isn’t from a place of reactivity or aggression—she’s simply overflowing with enthusiasm and social energy. With consistent, positive training and someone who enjoys working with dogs, she will absolutely continue to improve. In new environments, Jade can feel a bit unsure at first. She may be anxious while she settles in and looks to other animals for reassurance. Once she adjusts, her confidence grows, and her true personality—playful, loving, and loyal—comes forward beautifully. She just needs a little patience at the beginning to show how amazing she really is. Jade is also believed to be a wonderful candidate for a family environment, including homes with children, as she has such a gentle, affectionate, and social nature. Of course more testing can always be done to ensure the perfect match for everyone involved. She is not the kind of dog who fits into a low-key, “walk around the block and chill” lifestyle. She’s a companion for someone who wants a partner—someone who enjoys training, activity, adventure, and building a strong bond with their dog. In the right home, she’s going to be incredibly devoted. She bonds deeply, learns quickly, and wants nothing more than to be included in life. She is stunning, affectionate, eager, and full of potential. With structure, exercise, companionship, and love, Jade will absolutely blossom into the kind of once-in-a-lifetime dog who feels like she was meant to be by your side. Adopt her now!

Fenyx is a total love bug with his human and just wants to please! He wants to just be near you - total Velcro dog - he does the best contact heel, gives the best kisses and hugs!He is super smart but such a wiggle butt when learning, so eager, such a puppy with high energy - it's adorable and hilarious! He learns quickly and it's really fun to watch him grow and thrive!He has high food drive and works super well for it! Because he has high prey drive, we think his toy drive can be built but food is definitely his go to!We hope to find a forever human for him who likes to mold their pup into a great canine citizen!  What he knows: Name House manners Potty trained Sit, Down, Place, Crate, Stay, Bed, Here, Stand, Front, Leave it esp around prey [all in progress vs prooved] .  He's being trained in German mostly but once dogs learn the behavior it's not that hard to change the language.  Obedience: Heeling on both sides and Loose Leash Walking Touch command [in progress] Recall / Off leash work - doing well but at this time he can only go where he won't run into stranger dogs, however he can recall from prey unless he's 100% committed Ecollar conditioned Thresholds Crate trained What he is actively working on Calm behavior and reducing impulsivity and reactivity Settling Trusting new handlers Independence Muzzle Training Who he is good with and Where he needs more work Dogs: He is great with his foster sisters! With proper, slow introductions, he CAN integrate into a home with dogs. He is not really a playmate. His foster sister worked on him for almost two month before he finally played with her. He has a bit of a rough style but takes corrections well. He defers to his foster siblings and has never shown any resource guarding or reactivity to them! Stranger Dogs: He is reactive to dogs he doesn't know. He has been working on this through board and train and ongoing training. He has been part of group training to work on being ok around dogs and has done very well. He will need continued work and exposure.  People: He LOVES them but he cannot be trusted when he is overstimulated! When he is too triggered he can panic bite [never punctured skin]. He has been working on this in Board and Train and his foster has continued the work. He has been able to be handled by others and has NEVER touched his foster mom, which tells us that once he trusts, he trusts and loves forever! He is a dog that his human has to read well, manage his arousal level while also continuing to work on it via exposure.  Prey animals: he has super high prey drive and when he locks in he has a hard time recalling. However, when caught early, he responds well.  Fenyx loves affection, pets, cuddles, hugs from his person! He is the best weighted blanket, the best dancer and hugger! He has the sweetest face that you can't resist! He uses his legs in the funniest ways. He will just lean on you b/c he knows you're his rock! He loves to be close and touching. He can sometimes be a trip hazard but could also be an amazing contact heeler! He's the quintessential VELCRO dog! He might enjoy scent work or NASDA as he does not let go of a scent when he catches it! His foster took him to barn hunt and NASDA intro and once he caught a wiff of the rats, he was very interested. He will need to learn to focus and then can likely hone that skill. He is also getting a hang of agility. Foster mom has a few things in the yard and he has no issues going over the ramp, up the ladder and through the tunnel! Ideal Home Dedicated and Experienced home: He would love someone who is excited about training sessions, sets good boundaries and can build confidence. Active home: We hope his forever human likes to take him running or go on adventures in the forest vs the city! He is not a party boy, family dog or Golden Retriever-type dog. He is more like a soldier who needs instructions and wants to work or he becomes dysregualated! He really just needs someone who is willing to put in the time! Less humans in the home would be ideal but he never had an issue with foster's partner He would thrive in a place with property to run and explore. He requires more work to be able to frequent busy trails No children or cats, small dogs or prey animals in the home  His foster experiences him as the sweetest, most affectionate and cuddly dog there is BUT he just doesn't know what to do when he's overwhelmed. He can be that for you once he fully trust.  He will need a human who really gets the Malinois mind in an insecure body! He needs someone who understands a rescue Malinois! He needs someone who is willing to take on a challenge and run with it because it will make a difference in this dog's life! He needs a lot of boundaries, structure, confidence building and proper introduction to the world. What you get in return is everlasting love and loyalty! He will do anything you ask, trust you and be your die hard partner in crime Cute Anectodes from Foster Mom "Fenyx thinks he is a lap dog and will find a way to make it work""He is such an eager pup...he wants to do right and is so excited when we train""Fenyx has learned that he has to wait on his bed during meal prep and often will put himself there""He loves being touched and will seek out my hand, just putting his muzzle in it, holding it there gently [sometimes less gentle]""Sometimes, he just nuzzles into my chest, lets out a big sigh and just looks at peace being so close and comforted, it just melts my heart""He at times looks like a deer hopping through tall grass which is the cutest thing in a 65# boy""He gives the best kisses and is a great dance partner""Sometimes he nibbles on me when he is feeling spunky" Fenyx has so much LOVE to give and is just waiting for his furever match! Would that be you?   We really hope YOU are out there!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!

Gennaro is an outgoing, social puppy who loves meeting new people and making new friends. She’s incredibly friendly with veterinary staff, enjoys neighborhood walks and adventures at the tree farm, and approaches life with endless curiosity. She loves to climb and explore anything she can reach. While loud barking behind fences can make her a little nervous, she remains very dog-social and eagerly wants to greet every dog she sees. She appears more sensitive to the noise itself than to the dogs. She’s confident in new environments and has even slept through an outdoor concert. Until her vaccines are complete, she travels comfortably in a carrier and adjusts well to new experiences. Gennaro also has some funny quirks — she happily drinks from the garden hose or kitchen sink whenever given the chance. Gennaro is developing both her food and toy motivation and is showing lots of promise in training. She loves soft tug toys and is learning that fetch means bringing the toy back, though she still thinks moving leashes are fair game for tugging too. She has started clicker training and already offers an automatic sit in hopes of treats or attention. She enjoys Kongs, food puzzles, and is beginning to learn recall, down, and heel using positive reinforcement. She is doing very well with crate training and typically only vocalizes when she needs to go potty. She’s particular about where she likes to poop in the yard and may try to hold it if she can’t access her preferred spot. She tolerates baths and nail trims well, especially with the help of Kong cheese spray as a reward. She has also adjusted nicely to riding quietly in a crate in the car, especially when she can stay close to her person. Gennaro is still learning appropriate dog manners and would likely thrive with a playful younger dog companion. She currently lacks good manners around cats and small animals, often trying to play by tackling, so she will need guidance and supervision. Depending on how her drive develops as she matures, she may not be suitable for a home with cats long term. She has not yet been introduced to children. She has the potential to become an incredible adventure companion and could excel in activities such as hiking, Fast CAT, dock diving, agility, nose work, or even beginner bite work. While she does not currently show the drive for detection work, she is still very young and may continue to mature over time. Gennaro would make an excellent companion for an active, adventurous owner — especially someone who enjoys hiking, backpacking, travel, or van life. She may also be a wonderful introduction to higher-energy working breeds for the right person. Continued crate training and building independence skills will be important for her development to help prevent separation anxiety and encourage confidence when left alone. Note: Gennaro has a small notch in one ear from a play accident with an older dog. It is purely cosmetic.

Meet the Jurassic Park Litter & Momma Indy 🦖🐾 These incredible pups—our Jurassic Park Litter—and their amazing mom, Indy, have a rescue story worth celebrating. Indy and her puppies were placed on a euthanasia list at a California shelter, and we knew we couldn’t let their story end there. Thanks to a donated freedom ride, they made their way safely to Bellingham and into a loving foster home. Indy has been an exceptional mom, raising a happy, healthy, and well-socialized litter. These pups have been growing up in a foster home environment and have been an absolute joy—loving, smart, and full of personality. These puppies are Belgian Malinois, a highly intelligent, loyal, and energetic working breed. Malinois are known for forming strong bonds with their people and excelling in training—but they are not your average dog. They require daily physical exercise, consistent mental stimulation, and structure to thrive. 👉 Learn more about the Belgian Malinois breed here: https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/belgian-malinois/ Because of the needs of this breed, a family committed to training is required. Prior experience with working breeds is a plus, and these pups will do best in active homes ready to invest time, consistency, and leadership into helping them grow into well-balanced adult dogs. If you’re ready for a loyal, driven, and incredibly rewarding companion, one of these pups could be the perfect fit for you. To adopt, please fill out an application at happytailshappyhomes.org under the adopt tab.

Meet Indy – Our Incredible Momma Malinois 💛 Indy is a beautiful three-year-old Belgian Malinois who has already proven just how special she is. She was found as a very pregnant stray and gave birth to 11 puppies in a crowded shelter. When Indy and her puppies were placed on the euthanasia list, we knew we couldn’t let that be their story. Thanks to a donated freedom ride, Indy made her way from California to Washington and into a loving foster home where she has truly thrived. Indy has been an amazing mom. She has raised all 11 of her puppies with patience and care, teaching them important social skills and proper manners. Now that her puppies are growing up, it’s finally Indy’s turn to find the forever home she deserves. She does great on walks, has attended adoption events, and has met several other dogs with positive interactions. As her puppies are weaned, she will continue to be introduced to more dogs in off-leash and free-play settings. Indy is a large girl, weighing around 90 lbs, and like many Malinois, she is intelligent, loyal, and driven. She will need a home that understands the needs of her breed and is committed to providing daily mental stimulation, structure, and physical exercise. If you’re not familiar with the breed, we highly recommend doing your research to ensure it’s the right fit: https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/belgian-malinois/ Indy has given everything to her puppies—now it’s her turn to be someone’s whole world. To adopt Indy, please fill out an application at happytailshappyhomes.org (under the adopt tab). 🐾

The personality. The face. The size. The EARS! Everything about Kaiser Cruz from head to toe, inside out, is literal perfection. Shepherd lovers better hurry up because he won't be available for long. He is snuggly, dog friendly, loves the outdoors, smart, and great with kids! The list can quite literally go on and on and on. Biggest flex this boy has are those amazing ears. Full of personality and full of cuteness. Watch his video and fall in love with this sweet boy: https://youtu.be/ajZy2JOkRrw?si=SuyuCzdNV99fOIl2 Kaiser Cruz is believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 8 years old and currently weighs 64 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue it's always a mystery, and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Kaiser is the perfect combination of affection while also being independent. He's not overly needy with his love nor does he ever over do it. If you're someone that works from home, he'll be a great work from home buddy because he's not going to be constantly begging you for attention or getting into things he shouldn't be (he has wonderful house manners I might add). He's the type that will come up to you when the time is right for a little ear/nose scratch almost as if he knew you needed a 5 min break from work. As for the rest of the time, he's a window watcher and loves looking out windows or he'll be playing with a toy. While Kaiser waits for his forever family, he is being spoiled by his foster family and they absolutely adore him and rave about him. He is currently fostered in a home with kids ages 4 and 8 years old, and Kaiser has been nothing but sweet perfection around the kids in his foster home. They have the best time playing together, snuggling, and he loves being a part of a family dynamic. Kaiser is very tolerant with all of the kids in the home and just loves them to pieces. He has no issues when the kids are playing with his toys, running around, and is frequently found giving them the gentlest kisses. It's the sweetest thing! If you have kids and are looking for a bestie for your kiddos, Kaiser is definitely your guy. Not only is Kaiser great with kids, he is also very dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced him to and is also fostered in a home with an 8 month old playful pittie mix. Kaiser has been around dogs all with different personalities and has done great with every single one. Kaiser is wonderful about meeting new dogs and will either play with them or will go off and do his own thing. That's what is so great about him, the way he is able to adapt to the dogs around him. He can run around, have a good time and he also just as happy going off and doing his own thing while the other dogs are being wild. Kaiser is more about exploring and doing his own thing rather than playing with other dogs. Though when Kaiser does play, he plays like a total shepherd. If you know shepherds or have ever owned one, then you know they love mouthy air play, will give nose boops where they see fit LOL, and use their paws like they are professional boxers at times all while keeping things lighthearted and fun. Shepherd play is definitely entertaining to say the least. Kaiser would love to have a dog sibling in the home, but if you don't have one, that's okay too. He does not need the company of another dog to satisfy his energy needs or to help him open up. Kaiser would love to be in a home with a backyard where he can sunbathe anytime he wants, roll in the grass, and explore all the fun smells. He would make a great companion while you garden and relax on the patio enjoying the fresh air. He’ll enjoy going on neighborhood walks, mini adventures and then will happily lay next to you for cozy time. Kaiser is such a good boy, a 10/10! Now, he just needs a family to call his own. We are willing to test Kaiser Cruz with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

If your dream dog is the kind that can’t get close enough to you, the kind who melts into every pet, leans in for more, and turns affection into her full-time job… Tamera Honey is about to be your girl. She has that big, over-the-top, all-in kind of love that Shepherd people know and hope for. The kind that makes you laugh, makes you feel wanted, and somehow makes every interaction feel like the best part of her day. But wait…there’s more! Tamera Honey is not only incredibly sweet but she is also amazing with kids, dog friendly, respectful around cats, smart, and the list can go on and on. She’s a special one, no doubt about that. Watch her video and you’ll see just how sweet she is: https://youtu.be/ghl6TxnJ81Q?si=zweDqvJtpjKEIcsn Tamera Honey is believed to be a German Shepherd mix approximately 1–2 years old and currently weighs 58 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee age or breed. Just based on looks alone, it’s pretty fair to say she has some GSD in that DNA. We’d love to find adopters who have a little GSD experience under their belt, someone who understands their fun, independent spirit and is ready for a loving, adventurous companion. Tamera is dog friendly and has done great with all of the dogs we have introduced. She does prefer slightly slower introductions before jumping into playtime. When she does play, she plays like a total shepherd. If you know shepherds, then you know the vibes. Mouthy air play, little nose boops where she sees fit, and plenty of chase games. It’s entertaining to say the least! Tamera is more of a bounce-around, run-alongside-her-friends kind of girl rather than constant wrestling. She will give a subtle correction if she’s not feeling it or if play gets too rough, like an older sister setting fair boundaries. Always appropriate, always respectful. Tamera would do best with a moderately playful dog that enjoys both playtime and downtime. A buddy who can match that balance would be perfect for her. If you don’t have another dog, that’s totally fine too! Tamera doesn’t need a doggy companion to feel comfortable or fulfilled. She is a total lovebug with her people and will be perfectly happy with backyard play sessions or neighborhood walks with you. Tamera also met our house cat Biggie and did great. She was respectful, didn’t chase, and wasn’t bothered by typical cat behavior. Biggie was comfortable around her as well. While we don’t know her full history with cats, she showed all the right signs. If you have a cat, we can always arrange a meet-and-greet or sleepover to be sure it’s a good fit. Tamera is a smart girl too! She is very treat motivated, eager to please, and already knows so many tricks! She knows how to sit, down, shake, spin, roll over, and speak! Tamera loves to make you happy and gives us the impression that she is the type that you can teach anything too. She walks fairly nicely on a leash and may pull occasionally out of excitement, but she responds well to gentle reminders and is easy to refocus. She’s also comfortable tandem walking with other dogs. On top of that, she is crate trained and potty trained! With consistency and a few treats, any additional training will be a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. Tamera would thrive in a semi-active home that enjoys neighborhood walks, a little adventure, and a whole lot of affection. If you’re someone who loves to host, she will absolutely be the first one at the door greeting your guests. And if you’re having a quiet day at home? That’s perfect too. She’ll be happiest right there with you. She would make an amazing adventure buddy. Take her to the park, explore nature trails, go on outings, or visit your favorite local spots and watch her collect fans everywhere she goes. Tamera would thrive in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs, soak up the sunshine, and happily hang out alongside you while you go about your day. With this beautiful gals voice, apartment life won’t be a good fit for her. When it comes to kids, Tamera just gets it. She has been around children as young as 7 and handled it beautifully, like she instinctively knew exactly where she belonged. She was gentle, patient, and so naturally in tune with them, soaking up affection while staying respectful of their space. There’s something really special about the way she interacts with kids. It’s easy, calm, and genuine. She doesn’t come in too hot or overwhelm them, she simply fits right in, like she’s always been part of the family. Tamera has all the makings of a true family dog, the kind who will happily be part of playtime, then settle in right alongside everyone for those quieter, cozy moments. She’s the kind of dog who just wants to be part of your life, wherever that may be. We are willing to test Tamera Honey with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Pauly D is the kind of dog that walks into a room like he already knows he’s about to become everyone’s favorite. He’s got this larger-than-life personality that instantly pulls people in, equal parts charming, goofy, affectionate, and wildly entertaining. One minute he’s making you laugh with his playful antics and dramatic expressions, the next he’s leaning into you for affection like you’re the most important person in the world. He has that rare combination of confident social butterfly energy mixed with genuinely sweet, loyal companionship, and it makes him ridiculously easy to love. There’s just something about Pauly D that makes life feel more fun. Maybe it’s the happy-go-lucky attitude, the constant enthusiasm for being included in literally anything, or the way he carries himself like the cool guy at the party while still being a total cuddle bug underneath it all. Whatever it is, this boy has the kind of feel-good personality that people remember long after meeting him. Watch his video and fall in love with his fun loving personality: https://youtu.be/orh3OHuMY1s?si=MtJkFO4Bolwi7vyi Pauly D is believed to be a German Shepherd mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 56 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Pauly D is a total people guy. The kind of dog that sees a human and immediately assumes you’re there to admire him, hype him up, and hand over affection and honestly, he’s usually right. He happily strolls up to say hello, leans into pets like he’s known you forever, and has absolutely no issue making himself comfortable right beside you for cuddles. Butt scratches? Elite. Couch time? Sign him up immediately. Hugs, attention, being involved in literally anything you’re doing? That’s his love language. Pauly D has this social, outgoing personality that makes him the type of dog who would thrive in a home that likes having friends over because in his mind, strangers are just future fans. And when it comes to fun? Pauly D is READY. Toys are a huge hit with him and he fully commits to playtime. Stuffies, balls, tug toys, chew toys… if it looks entertaining, he’s in. He’ll happily play fetch, bounce around the yard showing off, or entertain himself with goofy zoomies when he gets excited. He has that fun-loving, upbeat energy that keeps life entertaining, but he’s also got a great off switch and can absolutely appreciate a solid couch crash after he’s gotten his playtime in. Pauly D is dog friendly and has been in multiple playgroups. He brings big VIP-section energy into a playgroup and walks around like everybody already knows who he is. It’s honestly hilarious. Pauly D is social, confident, playful, and very much the guy that wants to make the rounds, stir up some fun, and keep the party going. Some of his best dog friends are playful, confident females that enjoy chase games, don’t mind a little rowdy “bro” energy, and know how to match his fun without taking things too seriously. He especially thrives with goofy, easygoing girls that can play hard for a bit and then naturally settle down for a break after. In a home, Pauly D would likely do best paired with a fun-loving, socially savvy female dog that enjoys an active, playful dynamic and can appreciate his outgoing personality. He would also do great as your one-and-only because honestly… Pauly D already carries himself like the main character. He’s the type of dog that naturally becomes the center of attention everywhere he goes and he would absolutely love soaking up all the love, adventures, compliments, and couch time for himself. As far as kitties go, Pauly D would do best in a kitty-free home. Want to know what would make Pauly D truly living-his-best-life levels of happy? A home with a nice backyard to show off in, humans who enjoy being active and involved with him, and people who appreciate a dog with personality for days. Pauly D would thrive with a confident adopter that enjoys walks, adventures, continued training, and having a dog that actually wants to be part of everything you’re doing. He’s not the type that wants to sit quietly in the background while life happens around him. He wants IN on the fun. A yard for zoomies, a couch for dramatic lounging sessions, and humans who love affection, laughter, and a little daily chaos in the best way would basically be his dream setup. Pauly D has that loyal sidekick personality where he naturally wants to be near his people, involved in the action, and soaking up attention whenever possible. The more included he is in your day-to-day life, the happier this boy will be. And honestly? The more time you have to spoil him and tell him how handsome he is, the more he’ll absolutely eat it up. Pauly D has been around children as young as 5 and was respectful and appropriate with them, but he did seem a little unsure of the younger kid energy. Because of that, we think Pauly D would thrive most in a home with kids around 8 and up that can better understand his space, read his cues, and enjoy his playful, outgoing personality without overwhelming him. He’s a social, fun-loving guy that wants to be included in family life, but he also appreciates a little more predictability and calmness than the average tiny-child tornado tends to bring. Older kids that want a goofy sidekick for walks, hanging out in the yard, movie nights, and everyday adventures would likely be right up Pauly D’s alley.
