Story
Alder is an extremely sweet, quiet, shy boy. He is the dog version of an introvert. He is gentle and sticks to himself and is great with other dogs of all sizes and with cats. He doesn't engage much with them thought as he prefers to do his own thing. He has to be the most low maintenance and chill dog I've ever had in the rescue out of hundreds of dogs. He is hesitant with people he doesn't know but never aggressive. Not an ounce of aggression. He was listed as a pit bull mix at the shelter when he was smaller and still a younger puppy but now that he is an older puppy (about a year) it's obvious that he is not a pittie but looks more like a border collie. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.

Story
Scoot is spunky & has a great spirit. At home he normally has good house manners. He is curious, smart, eager to learn, and a star with the trainers, but needs a lot of structure and mental stimulation. He is good with dogs at the park, and has learned to coexist with other dogs in their space, but takes time to learn its okay. Before me, he was a stray (picked up by the humane society), so he has issues with reactivity. He walks on lead well, but barks & lunges if dogs get too close. Over time he has improved a lot here, but will need continued training around this. He is very sensitive to being touched, especially by new people. He does bond quickly if you are gentle and engage with him on his level, but has nipped in the past when people don't respect his boundaries. He barks when people come to the house, but settles down shortly with treats and play. In a patient home with space, structure, and more time than I can give him, he will be a fantastic dog.

These pups are in Vancouver, Washington too!

Story
Here's what you need to know about me: Hi, I'm Ziggy! I'm a shy girl with a heart of gold. I appreciate a gentle approach so I can get to know you slowly. My favorite treats are the way to my heart! Once we're friends I love to say hi with a wiggly butt, perked up ears and gentle kisses. I love spending quiet time with my shelter friends and getting pets. I've been working hard at coming out of my shell and getting used to new things and I've been told I am getting braver every day! My favorite outdoor activity is going for long sniffy walks. I like to check in with my people and have a treat tossed to me. I will catch it every time! I'd love to go home with someone who can continue helping me build confidence out in the world. I promise to reward you by being a fun companion for adventures and shower you with love. I'm an active dog! I would love to go home with a family who can help me burn off energy with exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures.It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.I'm available for Trial Adoption! If you're interested in taking me home for 2 weeks before making a final decision, please speak to an adoption counselor.
