Story
Quincy is a big puppy goofball! He is mostly blind and deaf and currently working on adjusting to his disabilities but eager to learn. He loves to be active, has learned to play with toys, loves playing in a big dish of water and has energy for days! He will need to be on a routine and slowly adjusted to new things while getting used to his new life. He needs someone experienced and who will continue on his training routines. Quincy takes a doggy one medication daily for life that he happily eats with a little peanut butter after his morning breakfast. This boy is looking for a best friend and will follow you around and lay anywhere he can be touching you. He is currently adoptable and looking for the best fit, his adoption fee is $200! He has no interest in cats, he loves other dogs but needs a break if they're too playful..

Story
This dynamic duo of chihuahuas are searching for the perfect retirement home! We’re looking for the perfect home that has a fenced yard they can zoom in, a soft couch they can sleep on, a loving owner who gives lots of treats, and a tiny soft toy to toss around playfully. These girls want to play and run around but they’ll also be the first to lick your face or curl up in your lap. Soda will even dive into your jacket if you’re wearing one. They don’t mind cats or another small dog, but they will need a home with no large dogs and no small children. Soda is active, quick to learn routines, eager to please, and knows how to do the doggy smile! While she will potty outside when regulated she also has a tendency to mark on things when she gets the chance. She is picky about people entering the home, and can often be loud or barky. She does best when asked to go to her crate in another room or covered for privacy until the initial commotion has calmed down when people she doesn’t know come over. She has gotten much better with strangers but will still nip at some men, and any active children if uncomfortable. Soda had a lot of dental work done and other basic vetting updated. Honey is a lover of everyone and everything alike. She is bossy to her partner in crime Soda and possessive of her food towards other dogs at times but otherwise has not a care in the world and wants to interact with everyone. She can have incontinence at times so may need to be let out often or have a pad down as well. Honey had a lot of medical needs when entering the rescue and has since had a number of treatments. She is currently medically healthy, but still has some fur growing in on her back and is an aging girl so will need someone who will keep an eye on dental and other normal aging needs. She will also need someone diligent that she does not get fleas as her extreme hair loss and thickening skin were likely from long-term untreated fleas or skin conditions in her prior situation. Honey was treated for her skin condition, has grown fur back on her legs, tail, neck, face and ears and most of her back with continued new growth. She also had her vetting updated, dental work, ear treatments, aging panels done and more. Are you looking for a dynamic duo to bring life to your home? They have the biggest personalities, the best cuddles and the most enthusiastic kisses. They must be adopted together and remain as a bonded pair, you’ll often find them curled up in a blanket together or on the couch like a yin and yang puppy pile. These two have been through losing their home, living in a car, and watching their prior owner’s health decline and eventually passing away before coming to the rescue where they were medically fixed up and assisted through the mourning process. They’ve found their zest for life and health again and hope someone understands that sticking together as a bonded pair is of the utmost importance, but they have plenty of room to dedicate both their attentions to their human! Send in an application today if you’d like a meet and greet and feel you’re home is just missing a pair of chihuahua girls! The adoption fee for the pair is $500. https://meltmyheartrescue.com/animal/honey-and-soda

Story
This goofy, playful pup is looking for his forever home! He is in need of a home with no other animals. He loves to be outside playing in the yard. His favorite things are car rides, squeeky toys and baths! We're unsure but he probably would love a good swim as well! He will be fine being left home alone while his people are at work. He has lived with children over 10 years old and did wonderful. Fenced in yard required. Adopters must live in Western Washington state. He is your classic goofy Pittie with soooo much love to give! Will you give him a chance??

Story
Cu (pronounced "coo") is 4.5 year old neutered male Blackmouth Cur. He is mostly an easygoing guy who wants to lay in the house with his owners. However, he does get bursts of energy when he wants to play and doesn't know his own size as a bigger dog (70lbs). Cu would do best with children (7+) big enough to handle him when he gets the zoomies.Cu is an inside dog with doggy door access to a backyard. He is fully trained to poo/pee outside. He would do best in a home with a large backyard to get some of his playful energy out. Alternatively, he would also do great in a household who would take him on daily walks. He loves chasing balls and would do great with a little more room to play. Cu could use a more experienced owner to help him meet new dog friends. He also currently gets a weekly bath to help keep him comfortable as he can sometimes get itchy.This animal is being cross-posted for private rehoming by its owner. This animal is not in the care of Kitsap Humane Society and the staff at KHS cannot respond to any inquiries about this animal. If you are interested in adopting or learning more about this pet, please contact the owner at 310-896-6559 or dylanwadebell@gmail.com. Kitsap Humane Society is not responsible for any present or future damage the pet may do to a person, animal, or property. We encourage all prospective adopters to do their own evaluation.
