Blue Lacy puppies and dogs in Spokane, Washington

A girl who knows her own mind! Meet Babs! Babs is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section). Born on November 6, 2024, sweet Babs is a young Doberman Pinscher mix puppy and part of our Looney Tunes litter. She has the classic black and rust Doberman coloring, and we estimate she will be a large dog when full grown. And those ears? Her ears are floppy, funny, and frame her face in the sweetest way. Babs traveled with her mom and eight siblings from a shelter in Devine, Texas to find a new home in the PNW area. Funny little Babs gets her name from a bunny character in the Looney Tunes universe. Like her namesake, she is cheerful, lovable, and irrepressible. This affectionate, loyal little girl knows her own mind and what she wants. Babs loves to be with her people; cuddling is tops on her list of things to do. She also enjoys giving kisses and being held like a baby (hard to resist doing this because she is so cute!). Babs is an active puppy who thrives on mental and physical activity, and it delights her when you join in with the antics. Though still young, she prefers playing to napping, and the kids and other dogs in her foster home are great companions for romps and explores.  Babs relishes puzzles, treat balls, and games that challenge her. Running around outside gives her much joy, and she has yet to meet a stick or leaf she didn’t enjoy playing with. Like many short haired dogs, Babs is not very fond of the cold; she would appreciate some stylish outerwear for the cold and wet season. After playing, she is content to snuggle in your lap while she recharges. Babs is picking up new skills and has started crate training (she would rather be with you, but she’s settling into it), and she has begun potty and leash training. Babs will start obedience shortly; with her smarts and intense love for food, she should pick it up quickly. Babs’ ideal home? It might be yours! Babs seeks a home with people to love who will adore her and see that she gets the physical and mental activity she needs to be a happy, well-rounded pup. Games, toys, food, and people to cuddle would be high on her wish list, along with opportunities to explore and play outdoors (and a dog coat, if the weather is cold). A friendly pup, she will thrive in a home with dogs, cats, and children. If you are looking for that loving, sweet, funny, pup who will be both a workout buddy and lap warmer, she’s the pup for you!

Our Minimum Adoption Donation is $550 for puppies under a year and $450 for dogs a year and older. We are a WA state registered non-profit and rely heavily on adoption donations to cover the expenses associated with saving lives. Our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption; microchipped with free lifetime registration; and up to date on DAPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccinations (when age appropriate) and deworming and heartworm treatment/prevention. Adopters can also earn a $100 training refund if they attend (6) hours of any in person training course. Long Distance adopters (one hour or more from Spokane) may choose to travel to Spokane to pick up their dog or use our monthly transport option, Puppy Delivery Express, for an additional delivery donation of $250. Puppy Delivery Express currently delivers dogs throughout Washington and to parts of Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. About Path of Hope Rescue At Path of Hope Rescue, our goal is to make EVERY DOG. WANTED. Our two employees and army of volunteers focus on transporting pregnant dogs and puppies from Texas, the number one kill state in America. The dogs we rescue are in poor living conditions and on euthanasia lists in shelters that are inundated with unwanted animals. We want to give these dogs a chance and bring them to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive, loving homes. We are 100% foster based; our dogs are fostered in loving homes where they are house and crate trained and learn basic obedience and leash skills. Dogs experience socialization opportunities with people, places, and other animals, and they receive the attention required to become well-rounded, healthy, and affectionate dogs that they would not otherwise receive in a shelter environment. Our commitment does not end when the dog is adopted. Path of Hope offers post adoption owner support including information on making the dog’s transition to your home a smooth one; recommendations for Preferred Trainers; advice on pet behavior and wellness topics; Facebook litter groups to keep in touch with fellow adopters; and invitations to local rescue hosted events.

Baby is a 8 year old Dobie (about 65 lbs) from Pennsylvania. We’ve had her since she was 6 weeks old. Affectionate and loving, she will stick to you like glue. Very curious but respectful of other dogs. She’ll rarely instigate a shouting match, but is quick to make her bark heard, if challenged. She’s extremely patient with our prodding son, and certainly loves any opportunity to stretch her legs- be it a sprinting cat chase (she has never hurt our cat, just pokes at him with her nose and loves to chase him), a stroll around the neighborhood, or a fun game of fetch. Fortunately, she also loves to laze around in the house and relax. She is definitely an inside dog. She is up to date on all shots and has a clean bill of health. Unfortunately, we will be moving onto a military base soon, and their breed restrictions will not allow her on. We will be heartbroken to let her go, but hope to find her a loving forever home with lots of space and a pet parent with lots of love to share
