Story
  Animal Information: Waylon and Winnie were surrendered to Haven Humane Society at 1 week old and rescued by one of our California partners. They have grown up in a home with dogs, cats, kids, horses and other livestock. Mama was only 40lbs, but we don't know who dad was. These puppies are friendly, playful and so very sweet.  Foster Profile: Waylon is such a sweet goofy puppy. He is a total puppy, curious about everything while stumbling over chasing his tail after grabbing a random sock. He is gentle and great with kids, dogs, and other creatures (he has been around cats and chickens). He is great with pottying outside, and sleeps through the night in his crate. He is working on leash training, but loves his walks and smelling all the smells. He would make a wonderful addition to any active home.  Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter (on contract, if applicable), core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, 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 Forever Home Dog Rescue in Edmonds, WA. They will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.January 21, 2026, 11:18 am

Story
Jack entered the shelter as a sweet, submissive young dog. He tried so hard. He was sent to a foster home… and then he was returned. Now, barely over 1 year old, Jack is facing euthanasia. He has been affectionate and friendly with some staff, unsure with others. He needs time, patience, and training ##2634418##

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. 🐾 Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🐾 🌿🐶 Meet Willow — Tiny Pup, Big Wiggles, Endless Joy 🐶🌿 Willow is a 2-month-old baby girl (DOB: 11/5/25) with a sweet soul, curious eyes, and a whole lot of puppy energy ready to bloom. Just like her sister, her mom is a Border Collie/Heeler mix — which means Willow is going to grow into that pawfect medium size that’s always ready for adventure but still believes couches are made for snuggles. Willow wants to be living her very best puppy life — exploring everything, learning as she goes, and turning everyday moments into laughable memories. She’s full of playful shenanigans, butt wiggles, and those irresistible puppy kisses that somehow make up for the occasional chewed shoelace. Life is her playground, and everything is new, exciting, and possibly a toy. 🐾 Willow’s Puppy Perks: 🌿 2 months old and growing fast 🌿 Expected medium size when full grown 🌿 Sweet, playful, and full of curiosity 🌿 With proper socialization, should do great with dogs, cats, and kids 🌿 Smart and eager to learn 🌿 Comes equipped with tiny shark teeth and ninja nails (standard puppy package 😄) Willow is looking for a family ready to embrace all the joys of puppyhood — the training, the laughs, the snuggles, and the memories you’ll talk about for years to come. She promises to repay you in loyalty, love, and an endless supply of tail wags. 🍃 If you’re ready for a puppy who will grow alongside your family and fill your days with joy, laughter, and love — Willow is waiting. ✨ Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Willow take root in your heart! 🐾💚
