Story
Loki is smart, active, goofy, loving, and sassy. He has a terrible habit of jumping any fence to escape. I am helping care for my father who is passing away from Alzheimer’s disease. I do not have the capacity or time to care for Loki like he requires. He can be reactive to other male dogs, he’s never actually hurt anyone or their dog but he gets jumpy and dominating and he does have a very high prey drive for small animals. He does have cataracts in both eyes. He requires a lot of activity, attention, and love but when he has it, it’s an amazing dog!

Story
Meet Avery! 💙 Avery is a sweet 5-year-old Australian Shepherd mix who is ready to find his forever home. This handsome boy is deaf, but don’t let that stop you from getting to know him — he’s a wonderful dog who has so much love to give. Avery was recently returned to our care after several years in an adoptive home, through no fault of his own. We know a transition like that can be difficult, but Avery is ready to put the past behind him and start the next chapter of his life with a family who will love him for good. Avery is dog-friendly and enjoys the company of canine friends. With his happy spirit and loving nature, he has so much potential to be a fantastic companion. Because Avery is deaf, his new family will need to be comfortable communicating with him through visual cues and helping him navigate the world safely. In return, they’ll gain a loyal, special boy who deserves nothing less than a forever home. Could Avery be the missing piece in your family? ❤️

Story
Animal Information: Babs, Juice and Otto are three tiny terrier mixes who found themselves at the Stanislaus shelter as part of an accidental litter. A shelter is no place for three tiny puppies, so we took one look at them and knew we had to get them out of there. They will be just 6 weeks old when they arrive and around 5 pounds, so they would ideally go into foster care with another dog in the home to help show them the ropes. We can't wait to meet these three little fuzz balls and see their personalities come out. We have a feeling they are going to be pretty popular! Foster Profile:  Hi there! I’m Bab, an adorable 8-week-old Terrier mix with a BIG personality and little paws that never stop moving!  I love chasing my favorite toys, running around, and turning every day into a new adventure.  I’m still learning the ropes, including potty training, so I’m working hard on my puppy manners one little paw-step at a time! With patience, love, and a few tasty treats, I know I’ll get the hang of it.  I’m playful, curious, and full of puppy energy, with plenty of cuddles and sweetness to share.  If you’re looking for a fun-loving little sidekick to fill your days with laughter, love, and lots of tail wags, I might just be your perfect match. 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 Stanislaus Shelter in CA. She will be transferred via flight arriving to foster care on 10/6 and available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.October 16, 2026, 12:08 pm

Story
Meet Bear! Bear is a fun-loving, energetic boy who is always ready for an adventure! He has lots of energy and absolutely loves to play with the people he gets to know. Bear can be a little shy when meeting someone for the first time, so he needs a patient person who will give him the time and space to warm up at his own pace. But once Bear decides you're his friend, get ready for a whole lot of love! Bear is still learning some of his basic training, including potty training, but he's a smart boy who is eager to learn. And if you happen to have some hot dog treats nearby… well, you may have just found the way to his heart! With patience, consistency, and plenty of love, Bear has so much potential to become an amazing companion. He's just waiting for someone willing to give him the chance to show them what a lovable boy he can be! Bear is currently in a foster home so please email us at wchs@whitmanpets.org to coordinate a meet and greet!
