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. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue/reviews (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tumwater, Tacoma, Tukwila, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) Vetting: neutered, microchipped, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative) Adoption fee: $550 (includes the $250 cost of transport from Oklahoma and all vetting listed above) Adoption application (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://form.jotform.com/82677586784176 FAQs (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://docs.google.com/document/d/12eb_SRtk1AzaBl87UltcLJ24MjH9UhQm_LE77iWZEQA/edit?tab=t.0 Desiderata Rescue is Oklahoma Licensed Rescue #95

Story
Jazzy is the kind of dog who brings energy and happiness into your life—without overwhelming it. She’s playful, friendly, and fun, but also has an independent side that makes her easy to live with. Her past isn’t pretty—but you’d never know it. Jazzy is social and confident, great with dogs of all sizes and cats, and naturally fits into whatever environment she’s in. She’ll happily join in on playtime, go on walks, or even randomly take a dip in the pond—then settle down like it’s no big deal. She’s affectionate without being clingy and has that ideal balance people are always looking for but rarely find. Good fit: someone who wants a fun, social dog that adds energy and joy to daily life without being overwhelming or demanding. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Fully vetted (spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested) Adoption fee: $500 (includes transport + vetting) Bonus: Each adoption includes a 30-minute phone consultation with a professional trainer Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT Think you might be a good fit?

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
The good: Super easy to train Understands & obeys “here” “come” “off” “leave it (before object is in mouth)” “drop it (after object is in mouth)” “wait (with a release)”, “go to bed” without question Loves fetch Has great recall Can run alongside a bike. Good table manners (won’t steal food/counter surf, can free feed). LOVES people. The bad: Does not like new dogs, lives with 2 others currently. Only likes dogs “in her pack” (usually takes a couple days to be “in her pack”) Does not like small kids, sometimes she’s fine with them other times not, no idea why. The weird: Scared of cats, never harmed one and will stare constantly if they are in the room, has lived with them before. Loves to “work” wants a job to do. High energy, good to take on runs, or bike rides No medical issues. Reason for rehoming: Wife is pregnant and we won’t have the capacity to meet her needs & give her “work” like we have been, in combination with her weird attitude toward small kids.

These pups are in Vancouver, Washington too!

Story
*This is a courtesy post for an individual looking to re-home their dog* Molly is an enthusiastic sweet potato who will steal your heart, and your toys! She will greet you with a toy and loves hiking mountains and cuddling on the couch in equal measures. She loves to chew on hard toys and tear the tentacles off octopus toys. No rope toys. Two walks per day is ideal, but at least one walk a day is essential or she'll be vibrating like the energizer bunny. A mountain or a farm may tire her out, but otherwise she's ready to rumble any time of day. Tug is her favorite game, but she's an expert at fetch too. She's an affectionate girl and will ask for kisses by sitting next to you and putting her face in front of yours. She’ll lean against you if you're not getting the hint!  Molly grew up with cats and gets along with male dogs. She's had some conflicts with female dogs, so another lady roommate might not be a good fit. She's done fine with new cats. She likes to be the boss (it’s the cattle dog), so she would do best with easygoing roommates and someone who can continue her training. She is shy meeting new dogs and people but warms up with gentle encouragement and lots of treats. She's done great in off leash neutral environments. She has not really interacted with children, so I do not know how she would be with them.  An active household would be ideal for her, as she would thrive with someone who could take her out running, hiking, etc. She would do well with an experienced owner who can dedicate some time to training. She's a quick study and food is her number one motivator!  Although she has not been on a farm before, with her strong herding instincts, I think she would thrive on a farm or with someone who has a large piece of land who can give her a job.  She has some reactivity and pulling tendencies on leash. She barks at people coming to the door and neighbors in the yard.  Although generally comfortable in her kennel, she gets fomo if she hears people having fun in the house without her! She won’t destroy anything if left in the house, but will get into snacks and tissues. Molly knows basic commands.  She gets anxious at the vet and when new people come over, so we have trazodone we give her ahead of time. Molly is spayed and up-to-date on all her vaccinations. She has a microchip.  I've fed her various brands of salmon and rice. I have not been particular about treats. Molly is a sweet, silly girl who would thrive with someone who can match her exercise and training needs.   ##2714998##

Patty is a lovable 2 year old Australian Cattle Herding Dog Mix we have her DNA and pet insurance that may be transferable. We adopted her 6 months ago from the Humane Society.
