Story
Gerty is the goodest girl! I am devastated that we have to get rid of her. I am a newly divorced single mama of three kids and two of them have severe disabilities so my plate is too full to give Gerty what she needs. We've recently entered low income housing and cannot keep her. She needs a good family to live out the rest of her days. She is a beautiful and well behaved dog who needs a place to run! You'd be crazy not to pick her! Just be aware that she is an alpha so she will need an introduction in order to suite compatibility with other pets.

Story
Hello! My name is Max and I am available for adoption!I came to RASKC as an owner surrender because my previous owner could no longer care for me. He had nothing but wonderful things to say about me! Mostly that I love everyone I meet.I am a big boy at 70 lbs and am fully grown! I know how big I am and mind my manners around folks of all sizes. I am a very smart dog! I came to the shelter kowing how to sit, lay, kennel up and stay. I am working in my leash manners. When ecxited I can pull but am really good at listening to whoever is walking me when I need to tone it down a bit. I genrally leave a loose leash for whoever is walking with me but can improve a little. I have lived with kiddos as young as 3 and do well but will need supervision and slow intos when in new home. I am an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home! I am good at not jumping up on folks but I would like to lay next to you, or on you, and give you lots of kisses. I love pats, butt and eat scratches, and meeting new people to love! I will most likely to great in a home wtih lots of visoters or going everywhere with you! My previous caregivers have noticed that I seem to do well with other dogs When meeting dogs in a new home, I would do best with a slow introduction.

I am a gentle girl who wants to sit on your lap and get as much affection as you can give me! I also love to learn and know sit, lay down, stay, wait, and roll over! I would really enjoy learning more and potentially have some puzzle toys to play with. In addition to cuddles and using my brain I love going on walks and other adventures. i never pull on my leash while on adventures and listen to what the human walking me says and love to meet new people.  i will do great in a house with kids but my care takers are not sure how I will be with cats and other dogs.Come visit me at Regional Animal Services of King County is located at the following address:21615 64th Ave. S., Kent, WA, 98032.

Story
Gus is a Pomsky, a boutique breed, Pomeranian and Husky were combined. He was born on May 12, 2025 so he is 9 months old. This guy is very energetic, likes exercise and mentally stimulating games. He is a smart pup. He also likes to chase soccer balls, base balls, any type of ball. He loves both hard and soft chew toys. It is really important to have chew toys because Pomskys, especially pups love to chew. Gus is house trained and rings a bell to go outside. He can sit, lay down, stay, and waits for a signal to eat his food. He is also a loose leash walker. Gus is neutered, up to date on all of his shots, and has been chipped. Gus wants to be friends with everyone and is a very social dog. This little guy has two dog companions and gets along with them. He also likes meeting new dogs. He is great with children. When Gus is tired he is cuddly. Gus would be a great fit for an active family where he gets regular exercise and attention. Little dude is a lover.
