Story
Zeus is a 9 year old Bull Terrier. He's a super sweet guy, a big cuddler, and loves to spend time outside in the sun or on the couch with his people. He spent the first 5 years of his life with an open yard, and as a single dog in the family. As such, he was not socialized or even neutered until he was about 6. Zeus has made incredible strides in reactivity when other dogs are nearby, but he has a history of escalating situations with other dogs and being aggressive and intolerant. Zeus would fit very well with a home where he would be the only pet. The reason he needs to be rehomed is because he has found his way into my care, alongside my cat and another bull terrier puppy. The puppy is energetic and pushes the old man's limits. My partner and I have tried everything we can to curb the triggers for Zeus, but fights have started to break out more consistently even after 6 months of solid effort, and we are worried about the safety of the two dogs together if the situation continues.

Beagle Dachshund

Female, Young
Tacoma, WA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Gemma is a very sweet and loving dog, she's still young (2 years). She has the typical Beagle and Dachshund behaviors and she gets bored so she needs an experienced adopter especially one familiar with small hunting breeds. She does not do well in the kennel and needs someone to be home during the day or a home without cats where she can be out while she's alone. We did a trial run with one family who had cats and they didn't keep her in the kennel while they were gone and had no issues, however her cats were stressed out so they weren't able to keep her, that's the reason why we're rehoming her, she needs a home without cats and we have a few. If you have any questions let me know!

German Shepherd Dog

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Jackson is about 17 months old. he was given to my kids as a bday gift in Texas. We have since relocated to Washington state and was unable to find a new home for Jackson. Myself and kids are unable to care for him at this time given life has gotten busy and we are renting and can no longer afford to have him. Jackson is very playful and loves to run and play catch with the ball. Jackson has some crate training but is very smart and tends to do his own thing. I feel he can be redirected and trained if given to someone who has the time and patience with him. In all just looking for a good home where he will continue to receive love and attention.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Tingle! The utterly paw-some 5 month old mixed pup with ears that deserve their own fan club and eyes that could melt even the iciest of hearts! When he's not busy perfecting his "puppy eyes" look, he's a whirlwind of boundless energy and playfulness. Seriously, if there were a championship for enthusiastic tail-wagging, Tingle would take gold! Outdoors is where Tingle shines brighter than a shooting star. Whether he's on a mission to sniff out every blade of grass or embarking on epic walkabouts, his zest for life is truly contagious. But wait, there's more! This little dynamo turns into a wrestling champ when he's with his brother and foster squad. Ring the bell-it's playtime! Beyond his impressive energy reserves, Tingle moonlights as an affection aficionado. Cuddles? Oh, he's all in! When it's time for some serious snuggle action, he transforms into a professional lap-warmer. And let's not forget his impressive manners - this pup's like a four-legged etiquette expert! He's fluent in the language of sitting when told, staying like a champion, and being the CEO of cuteness. Did someone say "crate" and "house"? Tingle's got it all figured out. He's mastered the art of crate chilling and house harmony, so you can bet on him winning the award for "Best Behaved." So there you have it, folks - Tingle the ear-twitching, eye-entrancing, energy-oozing wonder pup! Get ready for a wag-tastic journey filled with playdates, outdoor escapades, and cuddle marathons.

Charlotte

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Mixed Breed (Large)

Female, Adult
Tacoma, WA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Charlotte! Charlotte is not only adorable, but she is also full of personality and has the funniest quirks! She absolutely loves chewing bones, chasing her ball, and playing with toys. But her absolute favorite pastime is lounging on any couch she can find, making the most adorable noises when she's happy and comfy. Charlotte has thrived in a daycare setting! She truly woofs to be around other pups after sniffing them out. She can be reactive on the leash around other dogs, people, and cars. But with the right guidance and someone experienced with dogs, we know she can overcome this hurdle and feel more comfortable in new situations. After a proper introduction, she enjoys playing with other dogs and would do well as a solo dog or with a puppy-savvy companion who can help guide her in the doggy world. While Charlotte hasn't had much experience with kids, so a home with young children may not be the best fit (10+). Speaking of training, Charlotte is incredibly smart and loves it! She prefers to bond with her humans through training and playtime rather than snuggles. If you're someone who enjoys dog training and wants a furry companion to join you on adventures, Charlotte might just be the perfect match for you! Charlotte also has a love for running, and we think she would excel as a cani cross partner. So, if you're an active individual looking for a four-legged running buddy, Charlotte is ready to hit the trails with you!
