Story
She is a mini Aussie purebred in need of a loving home. I have her papers from the American Stock Dog Registry as well as her vet records. She is a little on the smaller side, closer to a toy Aussie. We got her as a puppy from a local breeder in WA. She was born in June 2019. She is happy, healthy, very sweet, and energetic. She gets along with babies, kids, cats, and female dogs or dogs smaller than her. She loves walks, hikes, car rides, and playing at the park. She sometimes has a sensitive tummy, so she needs to stick to her food only. She is looking for a loving home that has time to take her on walks and trips. She will come with all of her loved belongings.

Story
Dirk was born May 31, 2025. I adopted him from a friend who had a litter, and decided to get him alongside my cat. I find that my schedule got busier than normal since I started a new business after the summer, and I haven’t had time to really train him and play with him as I should. I think it’s best he goes to a dog-lover that would do a better job.

Story
Does your canine buddy need another buddy?! Here's your new dog!! Balto absolutely loves other dogs, not to mention people! He is housetrained and working on crate training. He was found wandering the streets of Toppenish, WA. He's about a 1.5 young, reportedly "never" barks, and while he'd be fine with a shorter fence, he does looks for gaps to go explore. He is very curious about the kitties in his foster home, but not in a malicious way. Balto is FANTASTIC with kids (he's been around babies and toddlers), strangers, and we'll say it again..... other dogs! Increasingly, we are doing FOSTER TO ADOPT options! That’s where you and puppers make sure you’re a good fit for one another before signing on “the dotted line”….. it’s a win-win for everyone! Just ask your adoption counselor about how this works. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Interested in adopting this or another POPP dog? Please complete our adoption questionnaire found at: https://www.popptricities.org/adopt/adoption-questionnaire-canine/ If you have any questions. please E-mail us at dogsadopt@popptricities.org. ADOPTION PACKAGES: Our puppy or dog adoption fee of $300 includes a lovable, non-judgmental canine companion, and a free vet exam. All dogs will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. Your adoption fee helps support POPP and our spay/neuter efforts in the community to end overpopulation of cats and dogs.

Story
Sometimes you win the lottery, sometimes life throws you lemons… Hondo is not a lemon, but life sure threw him some. This handsome guy is just 2-years-old and thought he finally found his happy ending after being dumped not once, but TWICE! Shortly after settling into his forever home with his newly married parents, Hondo’s person was severely injured in a motorcycle accident and had to be transported by LifeFlight to save him. After sustaining several broken bones, Hondo’s human still has a very long recovery ahead, Though it’s the last thing they want to do, his humans know Hondo needs to find a home where he can get the attention he needs. He adores his family, but doesn’t understand why things are different now. Why the walks and silly games they played came to an end. Though he is not as big as your traditional Great Dane, Hondo is still a good sized boy (90 pounds) , but that size just means he has lots more love to give. Hondo is not a fan of cats, but he loves kids (10+ is probably best so his tail doesn’t hit at face level). Increasingly, we are doing FOSTER TO ADOPT options! That’s where you and puppers make sure you’re a good fit for one another before signing on “the dotted line”….. it’s a win-win for everyone! Just ask your adoption counselor about how this works.

Story
Cooper is one of those amazing pups that has been waiting for his forever home since he was only 8 weeks old. “Everyone wants a puppy!” Is the common thought, but if that is true, why is Cooper now a year old and still not in his forever home? Cooper is good with kids, other dogs and he find cats interesting. He has been to training classes, likes learning new things, doing new things and requires regular exercise (not just a back yard to hang out in). Being a bully breed, Cooper does have allergy issues and is on a daily medication. His foster is awaiting test results to learn what all he is allergic to. He may even require a special diet to keep his allergies at bay. If you are committed to meeting the needs of this amazing pup, please fill out our adoption questionnaire. We are increasingly doing "foster-to-adopt" arrangements, so if you'd like to take this pup for a trial period before committing, we're good with that. Just ask the adoption counselor! It's a great way to make sure that everyone's a good fit for each other before signing on the dotted line. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Interested in adopting this or another POPP dog?
