Story
FIRST STEPS: Please visit https://www.save-a-mutt.org/adoption-application/ to fill out an application - a Petfinder Inquiry is not the adoption process. We don't do meet and greets until applications have been approved. All our dogs are located IN Washington State - we are a local foster based rescue and no transport from another state required. :) Thanks!

Meet June. She and her brother came to us as bottle babies. Mommy was a larger breed dog and the puppies were born in a local shelter. It was surprising there were only two, but they were healthy and getting fed by their mom for almost a week. Sadly - mommy's health took a turn and it was decided to pull the puppies and get them into a foster.
They were big babies, at 9 weeks, she was 14 pounds! She was born March 2nd. We were surprised by the DNA, half Malinois / half 13 other breeds. DNA suggested they could be between 50-80#, like we said, she's a chunk. June's mom was completely black - so she inherited part of her coloring. June is definitely the lover of the pair.
Being a bottle baby - she has been very socialized. Her first foster had a toddler, other dogs. At 6 weeks, she went to a foster whose very friendly orange cat became a constant companion to the pair. After her brother was recently adopted, she went to a different foster home to learn crate training (doing great) and all the puppy things. She's even walking on a leash around their property.
Being part Malinois, we are looking for homes that have previous GSD or similar experience. She will likely need a firm handler and an active home. She's super sweet, smart and going to make a great companion.
She is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated to appropriate age. She will need more puppy shots, including rabies when she's older. Puppies are good with dogs, cats, kids and more. Being a puppy, they will need lots of training, including housebreaking. Remember, puppies are cute, but they have sharp teeth, need to be fed 3 times a day and poop... a lot!
Each dog goes home with a goody bag including collar/leash, toys, chews, Kong, and more. You will receive all medical records, microchip transfer form and other paperwork at the time of adoption.
Save-A-Mutt requires a training contract and refundable deposit (depending on previous dog experience) on this particular puppy. It's Easy. You pick a trainer in your area, and upon completion of a 6+ week training class, we will refund the deposit.
Adoptions typically take place in Stanwood.
Adoption fee is $525. Save-A-Mutt is a registered 501c3 and half of your adoption fee may be tax deductible.
Save-A-Mutt is a foster based rescue, we do not have a facility to visit. Our adoptions are typically done Monday - Saturday, we are closed on Sunday’s to give our volunteers at least one day off. You must be available to do meets and adoptions during that time frame. We can make exceptions only with the approval of the foster home.
Please note, we have approximately a 300 mile adoption radius - Portland OR area and Vancouver BC is the farthest north. We don’t ship dogs, once approved you must pick them up in Snohomish County, WA. Canadian adopters must be able to come to Stanwood WA to pick up your puppy.
