Story
Nemo isn’t just a dog—he’s family. A Marvel-level fighter with a heart of gold. He came into our lives during a storm and helped pull us out. He’s battled seizures (once 11 in one night), but now they’re shorter, and he wags his tail through them like the brave boy he is. He’s got about $3K in medical history, but all we ever say is: “We love him 3000.” ❤️ My 16-year-old daughter is his person, but life got too heavy. We're hoping for a foster—maybe 2–3 years—where he can run, be loved, and keep healing. He knows sit, down, stay, and has great recall. Raised by a dog trainer in a house full of dogs, Disney magic ✨, and mischief. He’s got a piece of all our hearts, and while it hurts to let go, we’re trusting the universe (and maybe a little magic mushroom luck 🍄) to bring him the right person. If you speak fluent nerd, believe in second chances, and love big—he might just be your next sidekick. 🐦‍🔥🫶🏼🐠

Our family is looking for a good home for Hazel. She is a good dog and is very energetic. She does well with other dogs. Loud sounds don't spook her. She is friendly and loves to be petted. She loves baths, playing in the rain and snow. Her favorite fruit are bananas. She also loves pumpkin, rice, and salmon.

Story
Rehoming a 9 month old male Boston Terrier. Neutered and up to date on shots. Family and household situation has changed and is now being fostered until a good home can be found for him. Great with other animals and kids but he does like to jump when he gets excited. He is very high energy. He need lots playtime and walks. When he does settle down, he loves belly rubs and snuggle time. Kennel and outdoor potty trained. He will come with kennel if needed. Currently located in Bellevue. No rehoming fee. We just really want to find this sweet boy his forever home, preferably one that has a fenced yard for him. Serious inquiries only please.

Story
5/8 - We’ve had our ad up for months with no interest yet. Family medical issues require our time. Unfortunately we may need to consider taking him to the local humane society. We are not available to take care of him properly and don’t want to leave him in a kennel every day. He deserves better. He is an awesome dog and loves affection. He is very athletic and loves to play fetch, but he is calm in the house and relaxes when the time comes. He has also learned some basic commands and is potty trained. He loves walks, but does pull for the first part of the walk. He had been getting better, but we haven't had the time to keep up with his walk training. He hasn't had any potty accidents in our house for over a year and a half. He can be a little nervous meeting new people and pets, but gets past it within a couple minutes and will be your best friend with a game of fetch or a treat. He adjusts to new people really fast. He is a fantastic family dog that loves everyone in the house.
