Story
Meet Bennington, the adorable and lovable pup with the squishiest face! Bennington is already proving to be quite the charmer, and it's hard not to fall in love with this sweet pup! This boyo is gunna be a big love bug, and we do mean big. At just 4 months old he's already a sizeable 40 lbs! Bennington loves nothing more than receiving pets and attention from his favorite humans. He's friendly, sweet-natured, and always eager to make new friends. Bennington is treated motivated and enjoys playing with toys, especially ones he can chase and tug on. While he's still a puppy, Bennington will need typical puppy training to help him grow into a well-behaved and obedient companion. With some positive reinforcement and a steady trainer, he no doubt will flourish as he is a smart cookie who is eager to please. Bennington is looking for a loving and active home where he can be an integral part of the family. He would thrive in a household that shares his love for playtime, adventure, and cuddles. Bennington's ideal family would be committed to providing him with the training, socialization, and love he needs to become a well-rounded and happy adult dog. Up for the task? then come on down and meet this loveable goof and fall head over heels!The dog adoption fee is $90. They come spayed/neutered, microchipped, first set of vaccines including DAPP (parvo combo), Bordetella (kennel cough), and Strongid (wormer). Our website updates every hour, but some animals may be adopted faster than we can get them updated online. If you'd like to check on the status of an animal, please call us at 360-352-2510. This is especially important if you are viewing this animal on any site other than Animal Services' website.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Bowser, the resilient bulldog with a heart as big as his paws. Born around May 7, 2021, this charming pooch found himself in a tough spot early on. Near Conception Park in San Antonio, Texas, he faced a harrowing ordeal, being attacked by other dogs. Thankfully, fate intervened, and he was rescued just in time. Despite the challenges he endured, Bowser's spirit remains unbroken. Covered in hot spots, he received the care and attention he needed to recover. Now, at 60.3 pounds, he stands as a testament to resilience and the power of love. Bowser is more than just a survivor; he's a shining example of gentleness and affection. Known for his friendly and sweet nature, he quickly became a favorite at the rescue for his calm demeanor and loving personality. Health-wise, Bowser is in good shape. He tested negative for heartworms, and as a precautionary measure, he received a ProHeart 12 shot for 12 months of heartworm protection. Additionally, he's on Bravecto to keep him safe from pesky parasites. If you're looking for a furry companion who will shower you with love and loyalty, Bowser is the one for you. His adoption fee is $400, and you can apply to make him a part of your family at www.adoggie4you.org. Give this brave bulldog the forever home he deserves, and you'll be rewarded with a lifetime of snuggles and tail wags.   This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 8, 2024, 12:36 pm

Story
# 🐾 Hi, I'm Leaf! 🐾 Hey there, future family! I'm Leaf, a 5-year-old Lab mix with a heart of gold and a coat to match. I weigh a sturdy 24.8 kg, and I've been told my beige gold fur shines like the sun. I'm fixed, friendly, and looking for a place to call home. ## My Rescue Story 🏠 My past is a bit of a mystery; I was found wandering with a black leash, a lone wanderer in search of a friend. I ended up in a shelter, and it was a close call, but I was rescued just in time. Now, I'm all about living life to the fullest and finding joy in every day. ## A Little About Me 🌟 I'm the kind of guy who loves affection. I'll come right up to you, whether we've met before or not, and if you're up for it, I'll lean in for some good ol' petting. I'm great with kids and take treats gently, especially from little hands. ## My Personality 🐶 **Affectionate**: I'm all about love and cuddles. **Kid-Friendly**: Little humans are my favorite, and I'm always gentle with them. **Social Butterfly**: I'm friendly with dogs of all sizes and love to invite them to play. **Curious Explorer**: I've got a nose for adventure but also enjoy peaceful rest after a day out. **Leash Manners**: I'm experienced in walks and usually don't pull on the leash. **Food Sharing**: I don't guard my food; I'm all about the peace and love. **Kennel Trained**: I stay calm in my kennel, it's my safe space. **Potty Trained**: I do my business outside, keeping the indoors clean. ## My Dream Home 🏡 I was saved from a tough spot, but I haven't lost my joy or kindness. I'm energetic and love greeting everyone with a wagging tail. I'm still learning the fun of playing with balls, but I'm a quick learner. I know some cool tricks like sitting and giving paw, and I'm eager to learn more. I'm looking for a family that will see the love in my eyes and give me the chance to shine. I promise to be your loyal companion, your ray of sunshine on cloudy days, and the friend who's always there for you. **Happy wags and gentle nuzzles,** Leaf 🐕💛
