Story
Meet Nicky, a brave and beautiful girl with a heart of gold and a curious mind. She is an affectionate and playful pup who is always up for an adventure, but also knows how to snuggle up and show her loving side. Nicky is an independent thinker and a quick learner, always eager to explore and figure things out for herself. She will sneak into bed with you. With her friendly and playful nature, she is sure to bring joy and laughter to her new family. Nicky is young and has her whole life ahead of her, so she is looking for a family that can give her the time, attention, and love she deserves. Could you be the one to open your heart and home to this wonderful girl? She should not live with a cat. That is the primary reason she is being rehomed. She needs a confident leader who understands her.

Story
Moonpie is quite literally the best dog and a man’s best friend. She is just under a year old, she is so sweet, loving, loyal, affectionate, playful, great with small children, great with other animals, including other dogs, she honestly is the perfect dog. Our family motto is that once you get a pet you never let it go and that is your family member, that is why this is such a hard thing for us to do. We have underwent some extreme family hardships recently, and unfortunately, she deserves far greater than what we are able to do right now. Moonpie needs… more like deserves… a large yard, someone who can physically and emotionally give her attention, spoil her with treats, walks and someone who will make sure her life is made the best it can be. She is high energy at times but also so gentle. She listens to commands well. She’s the sweetest girl on earth. We are even willing to take her back if it isn’t the right fit.

Story
Weve had Max for about a year. Hes a very good dog. Very happy to get pets and affection. Not super hyper, like to relax and chill, but will play with you on occasion. Very good with children, and my cat. When he sees other dogs on walks he barks in a playful fashion, never aggressive. My son started to have really bad allergy problems, and unfortunately we are unable to keep him any longer. I don’t want to take him back to the shelter, I want him to go to a good home.

Mogli

American Staffordshire Terrier Boston Terrier

Male, Young
Puyallup, WA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Mogli is energetic, loving, goofy, and gentle. He is a big cuddler, loves playing fetch, and has great recall. He is 10 months old and was a part of our own oopsie litter. He is neutered and microchipped, but is missing some shots. We had to keep him because we had trouble finding homes for all of the puppies in the litter. We are looking for someone that is experienced with a similar breed and has the time and patience for continuous training that we can’t provide for him. He does great with cats and kids, but can be dog selective. If he was placed in a home with another dog it would need to be a dog with a calm nature.

Pepper

Australian Shepherd Chihuahua

Female, Adult
Puyallup, WA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
My uncle took in Pepper from someone who abandoned her. Given his chronic pain & low monthly budget, she needs rehoming. She has some accidents in the home, this would be curbed w/ training & regular walks. We have found that she has seizures at night. The seizures don't seem life threatening, but are disorienting. She has never been formally diagnosed & was in-heat last week. Pepper can be aloof & likes to settle down for long naps on a made bed. She is like a cat that wants to lay in the sun. She doesn't seem to know how to play with toys. She can be around other dogs, but it's hard to read if she enjoys playing with them. She is definitely fine w/ low energy dogs. She seems scared of big dogs while on walks. Pepper is a sweetie for sure. She enjoys pets. Her favorite thing is to be talked to sweetly while receiving pets. Pepper has responded positively to calm, patient, attentive care. Overall, to thrive she just needs a loving home & to be cared for with patience & kindness.

Story
Hello! We got our yellow lab JJ from a breeder in Long Beach California in 2015. He was born in May 2015. He is 10 years old. He is a really sweet dog who loves to be snuggled. He has been around a cat his whole life and loves to play with other dogs. We have two young children who he loves. My husband and I are going through a divorce and due to financial reasons and my son with special needs, I can't take care of him the way he deserves. Hoping he can find someone who loves him and gives him lots of snuggles.
