Story
Fostering saves lives. That is the truth. It takes a village to save lives and if we dont have fosters in the PNW we hardly adopt any because MOST people want to meet the dog/pup first. You get breaks, we assist you in so many ways. We do ask you foster hopefully a minimum of 6 times as there is our volunteer time assisting new fosters and training how we do things . The most important besides food, water and love are containment. Thank you! We hope to hear from you.

APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. In foster in W WA BUDDY is one of the sweetest and obedient dogs we have ever met! Yes he is large, about 70 lbs.. He has just turned 2 yrs old. He is house trained, fairly good on the leash, we use a gentle leader. We have him as a Lab mix.....just best guess. He is more slender than most Labs... His best quality is that he is loving, and affectionate. He doesn't try to dig out, climb out, or chew up anything. He's also not a yapper... barks some but only when necessary. :) He would be a great dog for a family with children. He gets along great with other dogs. He will need exercise every day...how about hiking, running, etc? You can exercise him a lot but he does NOT require it. He even played super insanely gently with a small breed puppy. Yes, typically we would not have a dog his size with a small dog, but they were closely supervised and we were amazed how gentle Buddy is! Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DZqo3QdfWQ see how gentle he is with a feisty 8 lb chi puppy! The puppy is nipping at Buddy and he is super gentle with the tiny puppy! typically we would never put a dog his size with such a little pup, but Buddy is that good!

All medical records will be provided to the adopter at the time they pick up their dog. HOW ABOUT FOSTERING! If you are not in the position to afford a puppy/dog but still want to be an important factor in dog rescue, we recommend fostering. Fostering ensures you incur no vet bills and no boarding fees while saving a life and enjoying the love of a canine companion. We are always in need of good fosters. You can sign up to foster at this link: https://shaynesrescue.com/foster-application/ This is a post on behalf of Pet Central SATX Rescue, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We have hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else.

Story
Pls apply to adopt. In foster in Seattle, WA https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ In TX the rescuer had five cats that Cocoa did fine with. Cocoa is a wonderful puppy approx 1.5 or so years old. She deserves a good family to love her. She has been going through obedience training and is getting good with basic commands (sit, stay, down, wait, etc.), is getting better about walking without pulling, and is a loveable goofball when she gets to play with her toys. We think she would do well in a home with at least another dog or someone who has experience with dogs who will socialize her well . Her Australian Cattle Dog shines through in her personality and her energy. She does need three walks a day, and play time, or she gets restless. She can get along with most other dogs but would be totally fine in a home as an only dog.

Story
APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. CAROLINA is a beautiful and happy Black Lab mix. She has just turned 4 yo but you wouldn't know it. She is happy and active. Wants to go everywhere with everyone. She gets along great with other dogs even though she could be a bit overwhelming with her enthusiasm. She will be great for a family with kids...lots of kids. She arrived to ACS in Laredo with a litter of pups (old enough to wean) so they were separated. She was skinny with dull hair... and she was an adult dog...so she didn't have much future there. I was asked...begged...by one of the ladies who helps there to take her. I couldn't say no. After I received her, she went immediately to be spayed then spent 2 weeks recovering from the spay and getting good nutrition. What a difference. She then got to join the other dogs in the "Big Dog Pen." She started a new life of FUN! What a difference! Now it's time for her next stage in life... a family (or person) to call her own!! She came so close to having her life cut short... Now it's time to LIVE and move on. CAROLINA has not had training...but her great personality makes up for it. Now it's time for her to be trained and learn the rules. Is that something you can do? She is not appropriate for an apartment. She is too large with too much energy. She would be excellent for the active person that lives to bicycle, boat, swim... What A DOG!!! This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention. You can ask us about how pre-adoption works and our "trial period." If you have any questions or would like an e-mail from us as to how all of this works, text me (Terry); identify the dog's name and give me your email address... 210-394-6060.

Story
This is a courtesy listing for Forever Home Dog Rescue in Edmonds, WA. https://airtable.com/shrFUvnGftwDTCArX To adopt please apply Watch the u tube. LOL https://youtu.be/HMRUNcczvfI She acts like a lab she LOVES the water! She absolutely has adored every human and acts like she has known you her entire lifetime. We really think other than her wanting to run after rabbits (lol what dog doesn't?) she can be trained to be off leash, as she wants to be right by you. 4/20/21 is her estimated BD ANNIE is a very sweet Pitbull. Super happy loves all humans as if she always knew you. Very very happy dog. She is smart and learns quickly. DOB 4/20/21 is an estimate. . She is about 2 years old and has probably had a couple litters of puppies but she is happy and lovable and strong. The person that originally found her kept her for a couple weeks and was teaching her some of the basic commands and she said she learned quickly. She needs exercise and a strong on the leash she doesn't pull but doesn't seem to yet realize you are on the other end of the leash and sometimes is so happy she wants to do a little zoomie in her exuberance! After she gets her energy out she is so calm loving and affectionate and does good t with other dogs she has met. She will want to sit on your lap LOL if you sit on the floor she just loves people and wants roll in the grass and just be a happy dog. We have had her in a large dog pen with seven other dogs and she gets along great. She currently weighs 50 something lb but is not very tall. She has very dense and strong muscles. Everybody is her friend. She might not be the right match with an alpha female dog. That we aren't sure of. Our guess is we wouldn't trust her with cats. Yes she is spayed, current on all shots, microchipped, etc

Story
https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ To adopt pls do apply In foster south of Olympia, WA FLORA... these pups came from an "oops" litter...of 7... 2 boys/5girls! We had to help in getting them out of there and give them good food and good medicine. It's amazing how fast they respond. They are a bunch of pups enjoying the good life now. DOB is 12/6/22. They are a Shepherd mix...possibly German Shepherd. We expect them all to be medium-sized dogs...50-#s perhaps a bit more but likely NOT because she has a rather thin build. Last photo is her as a young puppy! She has been with young children, showed NO aggression but we only like to place a dog with children IF the parents ALWAYS supervise the pup/dog with the children and children are 8 yrs old and up. . We see her as living with a dog her sizer or larger or as an only dog with play dates in the home /yard and elsewhere with dogs her size or larger. Likely she would adore living in a home with another dog. Flora apparently is slightly fearful of some humans. She barks sometimes meeting someone new but quickly warms up. Not a lot but a bit, We are working on that AND her adoption fee includes a session with a fabulous dog trainer Patti Howard ($100) to assist in redirecting her behavior. She does not appear to be alpha unless it is a small dog who is grouchy and doesn't want to play with her! Fixed, shots, chipped, etc. All is done medically. Pls do apply!
