Story
Sunshine was born around November 11, 2019. Her and her 7 other siblings were found by the border of Mexico by border patrol where her mother got scared and apparently ran away. She was then fostered in a home, got spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. I adopted her when she was 4 months old. She has been an amazing, loving, caring dog to me. However, when I had my child, she wanted more attention from me understandably. Unfortunately I can’t give her the time she deserves, she prefers to stay away from my kid so being in adult only home would be best. She takes time to warm up to you but when she does, she’s your best friend. She needs someone to be active with her since that is her breed. Her friendliness to dogs is dependent on the other dog. She is a dominant female therefore prefers dogs who are submissive(if you have another pet). She unfortunately barks at people even though we tried training her when we had time. I love her so so much but she deserves a loving home.

Story
Meet Kronk! He is a 1-year-old Rottweiler who is sweet, loving, and a total giant softy. Kronk is incredibly friendly and versatile: he loves kids, is great with other dogs (he grew up with two Frenchies and is good with small dogs), and is good with cats!Kronk is the ultimate mix of an adventurer and a couch potato. He loves going on long walks, but his absolute favorite activity is pretending he is a tiny lap dog and cuddling on the couch. He is highly food-motivated, knows most of his basic commands, and can easily be won over with peanut butter and pancakes. He is potty trained (he will explicitly let you know when he needs to go out), kennel trained, and is good outside.We are heartbroken to rehome him, but we simply do not have the time to work with him and give him the attention and dedication he deserves at this stage in his life. Kronk is intensely loyal and will make an amazing companion for a family who has the time to invest in him.

Story
Cindy Lou turned 3 in September. She is a medium-large Great Dane mix female (mom:full Great Dane/dad: medium size mutt). Cindy’s original owner passed away from a sudden stroke and she was to go to a shelter. Unfortunately, she was with him dead for a few days before being found. Her mother, brother, and other pets went to new homes, and she was the last pet left. She was traumatized by all that took place in a short time frame. We had one of her sisters since puppyhood so we took her in to avoid the stress of a shelter on her.We have enjoyed having her with us but the sister dogs are competitive and DO NOT GET ALONG. Cindy is very loving and eager for affection once she gets to know you. She is skeptical at first and keeps her distance from the unknown but is not aggressive. She is a couch potato but enjoys walks and knows how to play with a ball. She listens fairly well to commands. We’re disabled and can’t afford to keep her now esp. with the tension and risk to both dogs.

Story
Paco is a young, energetic, and adventurous Husky who is ready to find his forever home! He originally came to us after being found running around Clover Island in Kennewick. No one came looking for this beautiful boy, and after his stray hold was up, he was adopted into a loving home. Unfortunately, that home later became unavailable, and Paco was surrendered back to us through no fault of his own.Like many Huskies, Paco has a bit of an escape artist streak. If he sees an opening, he may try to make a break for it, so a secure, high fence will be essential to keeping this adventurous boy safe. He is also an active dog who will need plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation to keep his busy mind and body happy.Paco has previously lived with other dogs. During one of his meet-and-greets, he did well with a small dog, but once in the home, he began viewing that dog as something to chase and chew on. Because of this, he would do best with dogs closer to his own size and should not live with small animals.At just a little over 2 years old, Paco is still very much a puppy at heart. He can be mouthy and playful, which is common for his breed and age, and he will need continued training and guidance to learn appropriate ways to play and interact. He is friendly with every person he meets and, once he settles in, is a fun, spirited companion who loves to explore, play, and enjoy life.Paco will do best with experienced dog owners who understand the unique needs of Huskies and are prepared for their energy, independence, and occasional mischievousness. He needs a patient and committed family who can provide structure, training, exercise, and—most importantly—a secure environment.Paco is a wonderful, friendly young dog who has a lot of love and personality to offer. He just needs the right person who is ready to keep up with him and help him become the best dog he can be!Paco`s adoption fee is $50, which includes his neuter, vaccinations, microchip, and deworming and flea treatment.

Story
Deacon was found as a stray by a member of the community on West Nixon Street in Pasco.He is neutered and ready to go home today!At around 77 pounds, Deacon is a big guy with an even bigger heart. He’s become a staff favorite, and it’s easy to see why. There’s just something about this goofy, lovable “pittopotamus” that makes you smile. Honestly, what’s not to love?One of Deacon’s favorite pastimes is rolling around in the grass like he hasn’t got a single worry in the world. Watching him soak up the sunshine with a goofy grin on his face is enough to brighten anyone’s day. He also knows how to sit, lie down, and even crawl, so he’s already got a few tricks up his sleeve!Deacon walks well on a leash, though his enthusiasm can get the better of him at the beginning of a walk. At 77 pounds, he’s a strong boy and may pull at first, but once he settles in, he’s much easier to handle and enjoys strolling alongside his person.This big sweetheart is affectionate, playful, and always ready to bring a little joy to someone’s day. Whether he’s showing off his tricks, rolling around in the grass, or leaning in for some attention, Deacon has a way of winning people over without even trying. He’s ready to trade shelter life for a cozy home and someone to share all his goofy moments with.Since Deacon was found as a stray, his history with other dogs and cats is unknown. Meet-and-greets are required with any dogs currently in the home before adoption.Deacon’s adoption fee is $50 and includes his neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, and flea and tick preventative. Adoptions are first-come, first-served. We do not offer holds, deposits, pre-adoptions, or applications. As a stray-intake animal control facility, animals may transfer to other shelters or rescues without notice.Come meet Deacon today and see for yourself why this big, goofy boy has stolen so many hearts around the shelter. He’s ready to find a family to call his own!

Story
Meet Moffet! This handsome guy came to us as a stray, but the person who found him cared for him for a few days, so we have a little information about what he’s like outside the shelter.Moffet knows a few basic commands, including sit and shake, so he’s already got a couple of good manners under his belt!One thing we know for sure is that Moffet is not a fan of cats, so a cat-free home is a must. He spent most of his time outdoors in his previous situation, so we don’t know if he’s potty trained or will need some help adjusting to an indoor routine.When it comes to other dogs, Moffet did okay with some who respected his space. He may not appreciate a pushy, overly energetic, or dominating canine companion, so a calm, respectful match would be best. He also seems to prefer women, though our male staff and volunteers have had no trouble with him!Moffet is neutered and ready to go home today! His adoption fee is $50 and includes his neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, microchip, deworming, and flea and tick preventative.We do not offer holds, pre-adoptions, deposits, or applications. Adoptions are first-come, first-served while he is available. Animals may transfer to other shelters or rescues without notice.We’ll continue updating Moffet’s profile as we learn more about him. In the meantime, if you’re looking for a handsome companion who knows a few tricks and appreciates a little personal space, come meet him!
