Story
My kids have moved back home and came with a very sweet dog, but I already have a large dog and my yard is just not large enough for two large dogs. His name is Jaxx and he loves to play, run, and is great with kids, cats and other dogs. He needs a home with a large yard or very active people. He would love to find someone who loves to go on daily runs and wants to bring him along. Up to date on vaccines and is neutered.

Story
Casper is a sweet lab with a lot of energy. We got him from a friend when he was 2 months old he was rescued from a farm in Idaho, the owner passed away. He is very sweet but has behavioral issues because we unfortunately don’t have the schedule to get him enough exercise. He needs a home with an owner who can give him the attention he needs. He has lived with a sibling with us and they get a long great. I would recommend that he go to a home without another dog if possible because we are unsure how he is around all dogs although he does get along with his sibling. Again he is a sweetheart, he just really needs a home and an owner who can handle him a lot better.

Story
Single dog home preference*** This is Finn (Finny), she is about 5 years old & incredibly sweet! She can be very shy, but very smart. She has a lot of energy & is good off leash, she will never leave your side. Though she can get scared easily so I would not have her off leash in an area busy with cars, people or dogs. She is scared large dogs. She can do well with other dogs, (took about 1-2 months to bond with my other dog). Even though she has a lot of energy she's also more than happy to be a couch potato if you let her snuggle with you. She is potty trained & almost never barks, except when someone she is excited about comes home. She is also crate trained though I never crate here. The crate is a safe space for her. I have had Finn 4+ years. I feel terrible to rehome her, but we just never bonded & I know she we be happier in a quieter environment as an only dog w/ no competing attention. Preferably someone who works from home or is retired.

Nova is an incredible 4 year old GSD. She loves to play frisbee all day and follow you around everywhere. She is great with our little one, and our Belgian Mali. We are crushed needing to rehome her but with another little one on the way and work schedules, we can't give her the active life she's used to.

Story
Meet Zhara, the incredible 1-year-old Cane Corso mix! Zhara's journey began as a lost soul in Battle Ground, where she roamed for nearly two months. Her determination and survival instincts led her over 7 miles to Ridgefield, where kind-hearted individuals spotted her. Thanks to their vigilance and our dedicated team, Zhara was safely secured and brought to I Paw'd It Forward, where she received temporary care while we searched for her original family. Although her previous home couldn't be found, Zhara is now ready to embark on a new chapter and meet her forever family. Zhara may seem a bit shy at first, but once she warms up to you, she becomes your most loyal companion. Her affection and devotion to her chosen person are boundless. She absolutely adores playing with toys and frolicking in the backyard, but her true joy comes from being around people who shower her with love. Given Zhara's energetic nature, a home with a backyard would be ideal for her to burn off that youthful exuberance. Additionally, she thrives as the center of attention, so a household without other pets would allow her to give you all the love she has to offer. She doesn’t dislike other dogs or cats at all, she just plays chicken leg.. maybe she was a cattle dog in her previous life, so she just needs guidance on “no chicken legs (legg nipping)”. We practice with her often and she is learning❤️ Zhara was on our favorite show, Afternoon Live and you can watch her video here: https://katu.com/.../i-pawd-it-forward-zhara-and-cahira Are you ready to open your heart and home to Zhara, this sweet and affectionate pup who's eager to be your loyal companion? If you're looking for a loving and devoted four-legged friend, Zhara is waiting to meet you and become a cherished member of your family. 🏡🐾❤️
