Dog video: https://youtube.com/shorts/Qob9_pTe_jQ Cat in video: https://youtube.com/shorts/VC2qRKqs0p8?feature=share Snuggle time: https://youtu.be/Uo3TkspW3NQ Animal Information: Sunny is a 1–2 year old Border Collie/Shepherd mix weighing about 55 pounds. She is a healthy, happy young dog with a wonderful temperament. Sunny has a nice energy level; she’s active enough to enjoy walks and playtime but not overly hyper. She has very soft fur and an affectionate personality. Sunny loves being close to her people and will happily lay her head on your chest for cuddles, along with plenty of sweet kisses. Sunny is crate trained, house trained, and does well on leash. She is quiet, enjoys being around people, and settles nicely in the home. She may still need a little help learning to give clearer cues when she needs to go outside, but she is already doing very well. She gets along great with other animals and is currently living with three cats and two large dogs in her foster home without any issues. Foster Profile: Sunny is an absolute gem! She has been a wonderful sweet loving pup who is slow to warm-- initially shy but fairly quickly becomes friendly which is very typical of her breed mix . She is curious and gentle around people and currently curious about other dogs from a distance. Sunny is Very energetic, typical of her breed and currently goes on two to three hours of walks each day-- she would love an active family who hikes or runs and is also willing to maybe engage her brain with agility or flyable or barn hunt or sheep herding-- tiring her out will include engaging her brain, nit just her muscles. Breed experience is a must. she enjoys playing in the house and is a lovely leaner and paw giver when seeking attention. She does have an off switch, but she's a fast recharge. Sunny does well in her crate and understands it as a safe space. Sunny is not very vocal in terms of barking, but has a brief whimper initially when left at home. She needs time to warm up to you on her own or she may give a low growl to let you know to give her a moment. Sunny is working on her leash manners and will need continued guidance in this area and we are working on it. o far, Sunny rides very well in the car and is calm while occasionally looking out the window. Sunny knows sit and of and give paw, and se also responds well to hand signals. Sunny seeks attention and enjoys snuggling and being close and could use some training on How To Chill. She will need structure and activities, because she is a smart cookie.

Story

Animal Profile: Buddy is a 4.5-year-old Doodle (1/2 Border Collie 1/2 Standard Poodle). He was purchased from a breeder prior to his owners having children. Buddy is a friendly but slightly anxious guy who has not adjusted well to having a toddler in the home. His family invested in a 4-week board and train with a local dog trainer in hopes that it would help Buddy feel more comfortable around small toddlers. Buddy completed his training; he has excellent house and leash manners, is house trained, crate trained; and knows the ‘place’ command. Unfortunately he was still too uncomfortable around the kids after training, and his family decided it was best to find him a new home. Buddy has been trained using balanced methods, including e collar for off leash reliability. Buddy does great at doggy daycare, but does have some resource guarding around food and select toys when it comes to other dogs. While he enjoys his dog friends, we think he’d be happiest as an only dog. Buddy has not lived with cats. Buddy is currently in foster care with a balanced trainer, and doing well. Foster Update: coming soon! Adoption Info: The adoption fee is $550 which includes his neuter, core vaccinations, DPPV, Bordetella, microchip, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application March 7, 2026, 12:47 pm

Story

FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED Fenton is an approximately 5-year-old, Border Collie/McNab mix weighing about 47 pounds (and still filling out after coming to us a bit skinny). He came from an overcrowded CA shelter and is recovering from a leg injury that has been healing well. This handsome boy is as sweet as they come—gentle, patient, and absolutely adores people. He’s done well with children he’s met and loves saying hello to everyone (he even enjoyed meeting all the trick-or-treaters on Halloween!). Fenton is house-trained, walks well on leash, and is a total fetch fanatic. He loves toys, hikes, and all kinds of adventures, but also knows how to relax and enjoy a good cuddle or nap once playtime’s over. Fenton gets along well with other dogs and would love a playful canine companion—preferably one who can help set healthy boundaries, since he can be a bit pushy at times. He would do best in a home without cats. We’re looking for a home with herding breed experience that can keep his mind and body active, continue helping him finish his recovery, and give him the full, happy life he deserves. He is definitely a dog that loves having something to do! If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and affectionate dog who’s ready for all of life’s adventures, Fenton might just be your perfect match! Fenton is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $450.

FOREVER HOME NEEDED (currently in foster care) Meet Enzo! Enzo is a 5.5-year-old, 35 lb Border Collie/McNab mix who came to us from an overcrowded shelter and has been absolutely thriving in foster care! This incredibly smart, affectionate boy is the total package for someone who understands and appreciates herding breeds.

He is both crate trained and house trained, and with patience and guidance, he has even learned to love cats! He does great with other dogs after a proper introduction and enjoys having canine friends around. He’s an active, adventurous guy who loves to get out and do things—he’s even gone backcountry skiing! Whether it’s hiking, exploring, or playing fetch (one of his all-time favorite games), Enzo is always ready to join in. He also loves tug-of-war, snacks like apples, and lounging on his back with his legs straight up—his quirky personality is part of his charm. Enzo is highly trained and eager to keep learning. He already knows commands like sit, down, shake, roll over, and spin, and he thrives on continued training and mental stimulation. Puzzle toys, nose work, trick training—this is a dog who needs to use his brain as much as his body. He’s also been working on off-leash skills and is progressing well with the right guidance. Because of his intelligence and drive, Enzo will do best with an adopter who has herding breed experience and understands the importance of structure, consistency, and engagement. When his needs are met, Enzo is incredibly affectionate, loyal, and a joy to be around. He forms strong bonds and will be a devoted companion to his person.

Story

Requires: -Herding breed experienced home -Large fenced yard outside the city -Another playful dog in the home her size or larger Keira is a 2 year old, 50lb Border Collie who is looking for her perfect home. She takes a while to trust, but is loyal to her people once she does. Keira is fearful of people and does not easily trust. She can be skittish and is a flight risk if not contained properly. She will build trust with her people after a period of time spent together and trust building, but she is not a ‘people’ dog with new people. She is definitely a dog's dog. She prefers to be with her dog friends and spends her days out in a play yard with 5-7 other dogs. Keira will need a home that understands and is ok with the fact she is not a super lovey dog that will want human attention all the time. Keira will do best in an adult only home that is patient in building her trust and ok with her being aloof and doing her own thing at times. She is well mannered and does great hanging out in a fenced yard with her dog friends. She is super active and loves to run around in her current large play yard with other dogs. Keira will thrive in a home with a large fenced yard outside of the city. She is not an apartment/condo/townhome dog. Keira requires at least one other dog around her size in the home, and herding breed experience. She would thrive in a more rural setting with a large fenced yard. Keira is UTD on shots, spayed, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $400.

Story

Animal Information: Lelo is an estimated 13 week old female Cattle Dog/Terrier X. She arrived at Caddo Parrish Animal Services in Louisianna as a stray along with her siblings Moe & Remi as strays so not much is know about her background. We were asked to take them by our rescue partner Tail Lights Rescue Project and couldn't say no.They are now out of the shelter in a loving foster home awaiting transport to the PNW. Foster Profile: Lelo is an expressive and cheerful girl who will show and tell you exactly how she feels. She loves when you sing to her, and doesn’t even care if you’re off-key. But she’ll also groan like a teenager about things that annoy her, like an empty food bowl or the rain and cold on a walk! Aside from that and her playful growls when shaking the toy of her latest obsession, she’s not very vocal and only really barks when startled. When walking on her leash she’s mostly uninterested in the other dogs she passes. Lelo considers her crate a safe space and chews her teething toys there during the day, eagerly awaiting meal time (which she also enjoys in her crate). She’s taken well to house training and sleeps in her crate through most of the night, using expressive groans to let us know when it’s time for a quick potty break. If it’s raining, cold, and windy, she gets quite moody about being outside, shivering and whining… but this inspires her to get her business done very quickly, after which she’s ready to be back inside. The Seattle weather can certainly take some credit for house training this doll! Lelo behaves well around cats and other dogs and would do just fine in a household with either, as long as she had her own space or crate to retreat to when needed. Her routine includes a lengthier morning walk after breakfast to help her exercise and expend energy, alternating between naps, potty breaks, and chewing her toys during the day, a nice dinner in her puzzle feeder and final potty breaks before tucking in for the night - which she typically does on her own when ready. lelo would love a home with a securely fenced yard and a canine companion to play with or an active family that can meet her exercise needs. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, heartworm test, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166). Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog was transferred from Caddo Parish Animal Services in partnership with Tail Lights Rescue Project. She will be transferred via TLRP, arriving to foster care on 4/11/26 and available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care. April 29, 2026, 6:48 pm
