Story
Hi everyone this is Chibi, he is a 2 year old cattle dog/border collie/aussie Shephard. He is looking for a new home since our current one cannot provide enough stimulation for him to give him a consistent working job throughout the day. He is a very loving dog once he warms up to you and will always be by your side whether you like it or not. We spent alot of time training him so his recall and off leash manners are pretty good. He loves a good car ride whether it's in his crate or sitting in your lap. Baths can make him abit nervous but if youre taking him camping or on a hike he will love it. Chibi would thrive in a house that has a lot of property to run around on and hopefully have other dogs to play with him yet still give him plenty of lazy down time. His best family would be a household of 1-2 people without kids.

Story
Looking for the Perfect Forever Home This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, but I’m looking for the right forever home for my sweet boy, Bodhi. Due to an unexpected separation and a move, I’ll be transitioning to life as a single parent with two young children. As much as I love him, I know I won’t be able to give him the time, attention, and exercise he truly deserves. This decision comes completely from wanting what’s best for him. Bodhi is a large teddy bear with an incredibly gentle and loving personality. He is wonderful with children and has spent years playing with my 7-year-old and 2-year-old. He is affectionate, loyal, and loves being part of the family. He enjoys going for walks, especially when he gets to carry around a big stick, and he’s happiest just being with his people. He’s well-behaved, friendly, and has a calm, easygoing nature that makes him a joy to have around.

Story
I met Ethel in LA when she happened to be walking with a lady who was looking for a home for her at the time. She had been a stray and the lady couldn’t keep her. So I said I would. I took Ethel back home with me to WA in October and she integrated well with my other 2 dogs, a 7 yo female husky and a 8 yo male sheltie. Ethel then began growing in size around her midsection and on 12/01 she gave birth to 8 puppies. Nobody knew she was pregnant. The birth went well and after 12 weeks, I managed to find homes for 7 of the puppies. During this time, Ethel’s demeanor changed and she became territorial and protective, understandably so. Around April, she got into a fight with my husky and it really scared me and my husky. In may, I dropped Ethel off for a month of intensive training and she did really well. Sadly, my husky is now scared of her and I am unable to keep Ethel as I can’t let my husky constantly be scared. Ethel is a sweet, kind, loving girl who needs a loving home.

Story
Ginger is an 11-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier (possibly mixed with something, we were never told for sure). She is current on vaccines (she has a monthly allergy shot, Cytopoint), spayed, house-trained, and fun-loving! Ginger loves tug-of-war, chasing balls (though she isn't the best at giving them back to be thrown again), and running around the yard. She loves people and pets, but does not get along well with other animals. Ginger was rescued from Texas after Hurricane Harvey in 2017, after having been found wandering around in the aftermath, so it is believed she has PTSD from that and has been known to attack other animals (dogs, cats, etc.). That being said, she absolutely loves people and will always want attention and pets (even if she is quite drooly). Ginger is trained with "sit", "lay down", "out" (of the kitchen when food is being cooked), and "bed", and she absolutely loves human food. Ginger is a good dog, but definitely needs a firm hand sometimes.
