Story
My friend found Matcha on the highway in Auburn lost, scared, and extremely malnourished. She was unable to care for Matcha at the time so I took on the responsibility and have since gotten her to a good weight, updated vaccines, and on flea/ tick prevention. Matcha is an extremely sweet, smart, and hard not to love dog. She can snuggle with you all day, but also loves to be active and would prefer someone that can take her on adventures ! She has a problem with jumping, not on people, but high in the air near your face. I've taught her the down and sit command and she is learning very quickly that its not okay. She picks up commands very well ! Matcha does have separation anxiety and will require training with the crate, if thats what you would like to do. I believe she may of been abused and has anxiety being left in the crate, but it is something we are currently on. If you are interested please let me know and feel free to ask questions !

Gemma

Beagle Dachshund

Female, Young
Tacoma, WA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Gemma is a very sweet and loving dog, she's still young (2 years). She has the typical Beagle and Dachshund behaviors and she gets bored so she needs an experienced adopter especially one familiar with small hunting breeds. She does not do well in the kennel and needs someone to be home during the day or a home without cats where she can be out while she's alone. We did a trial run with one family who had cats and they didn't keep her in the kennel while they were gone and had no issues, however her cats were stressed out so they weren't able to keep her, that's the reason why we're rehoming her, she needs a home without cats and we have a few. If you have any questions let me know!

Story
Jackson is about 17 months old. he was given to my kids as a bday gift in Texas. We have since relocated to Washington state and was unable to find a new home for Jackson. Myself and kids are unable to care for him at this time given life has gotten busy and we are renting and can no longer afford to have him. Jackson is very playful and loves to run and play catch with the ball. Jackson has some crate training but is very smart and tends to do his own thing. I feel he can be redirected and trained if given to someone who has the time and patience with him. In all just looking for a good home where he will continue to receive love and attention.
