🌟 Meet Remi & Porter! 💛 Say hello to Remi (first pic) and Porter (second pic), two incredibly sweet and resilient dogs in search of their forever homes. These lovely pups came to us from the Yakima Reservation, where they faced abandonment and abuse—but you’d never know it by their happy, loving personalities! 🐾 About Porter: Porter is deaf but has learned to follow hand signals like a champ. He’s eager to connect with his people and is great with kids of all ages. He thrives on attention and companionship, truly showcasing the power of love and resilience! 🐾 About Remi: Remi knows her basic commands and would do best in a home with older children. She’s friendly, affectionate, and has a calm, easygoing nature that brings comfort to those around her. ✨ Both Dogs: Very friendly and social Great with other dogs Neutered Current on vaccines Microchipped Unknown with cats or small animals Currently, we do not think they need to be adopted together. Despite their difficult past, Remi and Porter are joyful souls who deserve safe, stable homes where they can continue to thrive. If you're ready to give either of these amazing pups a fresh start and a loving forever home, please reach out! 💛

Story
🐾 Meet Cookie! 🐾 This tiny sweetheart is a 1-year-old female Chihuahua who is ready to find her forever home. Cookie is spayed, current on vaccines, and microchipped—all set to start her next chapter. Cookie is what we lovingly call a “velcro dog” 💕—she wants to be close to her person as much as possible. If you’re sitting down, she’s there. If you’re under a blanket, she’s definitely under it with you snuggling right in. She’s not much of a barker, but she is a chewer, so plenty of appropriate chew toys/chewies will help keep her happy and busy. She’s not currently interested in stuffed toys, though that may simply be new to her as she explores the world. Cookie is mostly potty trained, with only a couple of accidents as she adjusts to recent big life changes—very normal as she settles in. 🐶 She loves following the other dog in her foster home and would likely do best with a canine companion to help her feel confident and included. Cookie is sweet, affectionate, and ready to bond deeply with the right person who will let her be their little shadow. If you’re looking for a constant cuddle buddy who will happily be your warm little sidekick, Cookie might just be your girl. 💛

Story
Mocha is a sweet, spunky girl around 3 months old who came to us as a local surrender. We believe she’s a Lab/Husky mix, with all the playful, curious energy you’d expect from that combo! She absolutely loves other dogs and is happiest when she has a playmate. Mocha is confident and silly — she definitely thinks she’s the boss 😅 — but in the most lovable way. She does great with dogs of all sizes and would thrive in a home with another playful pup. Mocha is also great with kids, though we recommend kids 5+ since she’s still a bouncy puppy and learning that jumping isn’t polite. She’s already making good progress and is eager to learn! ✔️ Crate trained ✔️ Dog-friendly (all sizes!) ✔️ Kid-friendly ✔️ Likely cat-friendly with proper intro This sweet girl is looking for a home where she can continue to grow, play, and be loved.
