Ginger

Border Collie Mutt

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

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Ginger has been part of our family for over 8 years. My brother and sister-in-law adopted her at about a year and a half old, to grow up with their son Alec. She is very bonded with her 'brother' Skooter who was adopted about 6 years ago. They hope to remain together. My sister-in-law and brother have both passed away, about 18 months apart. I moved into their house with my nephew, Alec, and both dogs in October of 2021. Our circumstances are now changing, and we cannot keep the dogs. Ginger is very loving, playful, protective, assertive, not overly friendly with strangers, and territorial. She does not always do well with meeting other dogs. Ginger is fearful of loud noises- thunder, fireworks, gun shots. She has exceptional hearing, and will bark at anything she sees outside. She needs to be introduced to new people slowly, and would not do well around small kids. She is resistant to being brushed, or having her toenails trimmed, but has been to groomers in the past.

Story
Skooter has been part of our family for over 6 years. My brother and sister-in-law adopted him at about a year and a half old, as a playmate for his 'sister' Ginger and my nephew Alec. Skooter iand Ginger are very bonded and hope to remain together. My sister-in-law and brother have both passed away, about 18 months apart. I moved into their house with my nephew, Alec, and both dogs in October of 2021. Our circumstances are now changing, and we cannot keep the dogs. Skooter is very loving, playful, protective, assertive, and friendly. He loves everyone, especially if they give him a treat. He may do well with other dogs by himself. Skooter is fearful of loud noises- thunder, fireworks, gun shots. He barks and whines at dogs or people walking by, and doesn't like animals in his yard. He may have separation anxiety - gets very excited whenever we come home. Skooter loves to be brushed, does not like baths, and does okay with the vet. He has been to groomers.in the past.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, adult
Tacoma, WA
Size

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sydney is a 4 year old, 54 lbs., female pit bull. She is vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and in excellent health. She is house trained, crate trained, and goes for walks using a gentle leader. She is a good girl who is smart and food motived (which is great for training). She loves chew toys and does best in a calm environment. She would do best in an adult only household as your only pet. She has anxiety which is best addressed with medication (she takes fluoxetine) and by working with a behaviorist. She is a smart dog, who responds well to training. She does not have separation anxiety and does not react to fireworks. Although she is crate trained, she does not need to be crated when she is left at home. We adopted her two years ago from the Tacoma Humane Society and love her, but we have a child and Sydney would do best in an adult-only home with people who want to continue to work with her. She comes with her crate, toys, and other supplies.
