Story
Khaleesi is a 9-year-old American Bully and the mother of Drago. She is spayed, chocolate seal in color, and a true sweetheart. Khaleesi was rescued at about one year old from a breeder situation and has been lovingly raised in a family home ever since. She is independent but very affectionate, loves to snuggle, nuzzle like a cat, and be close to her people. She adores kids and has a calm, gentle temperament. Khaleesi has lived in a multi-dog household her entire life and has no aggression issues, though she can be mildly protective and will bark at door knocks. Due to her short legs and age, stairs can be challenging. She has a vet appointment scheduled and will be fully up to date on vaccinations and care prior to adoption. We are seeking a loving, stable home for this sweet girl due to relocation.

Story
Drago is an 8-year-old American Pocket Bully with a gentle, affectionate personality. Though listed as medium due to weight, he is small and compact (about 12 inches tall and 18–20 inches long). He is calm, puppy-like, and loves cuddling, warm cozy spots, and being close to his person. Drago does best with light walks and a relaxed lifestyle. He is fully house-trained and can be left loose in the home with no accidents or destructive behavior. He sleeps indoors and enjoys being part of the family. Drago is excellent with children and has lived in a multi-dog home with no aggression. He has manageable seasonal allergies and will be fully up to date on vet care. Due to relocation, we are seeking a calm, loving home for him.

Story
Sweet and loving dog. Recently rescued but I just do not have the time she deserves. I am a single father, I work full time and I also attend college full time. She deserves more affection than I can give her with my busy schedule. She loves to play and run around in the yard. She is great with my son who is five years old. She was good around other dogs the couple times I tried it. The only reason I'm looking to re-home is that I feel awful she doesn't get the attention she deserves with my busy schedule.

Story
Meet Sprinkle After Dark, a 6-year-old bluetick coonhound with a heart as big as her paws and a nose made for adventure! At 68 lbs, Sprinkle is a little fluffy around the edges, which just adds to her lovable charm. She’s been a bit shy and nervous in the shelter, but those who take the time to meet her discover a gentle, friendly soul who thrives on calm companionship. Sprinkle is quiet but affectionate, and once she trusts you, her soft, soulful eyes and wagging tail are impossible to resist. Sprinkle’s true joy comes on walks, where she explores the world one sniff at a time — a classic bluetick hobby! She walks beautifully on leash, loves to investigate every scent, and will happily accompany you on relaxed strolls, sniff-filled adventures, or even a quiet evening on the couch. Sprinkle After Dark is looking for a patient, loving home where she can blossom at her own pace, share her gentle spirit, and remind you every day that friendship doesn’t have to be loud to be deep. If you’re ready for a loyal, nosey, soft-hearted companion with a quirky little soul, Sprinkle After Dark is waiting for you. The dog adoption fee is $110. They come spayed/neutered, microchipped, first set of vaccines including DAPP (parvo combo), Bordatella (kennel cough), have been dewormed with Pyrantel, and have been treated with selamectin for fleas. Our website updates every hour, but some animals may be adopted faster than we can get them updated online. If you`d like to check on the status of an animal, please call us at 360-352-2510. This is especially important if you are viewing this animal on any site other than Animal Services` website.

Story
Meet Deer, a stunning red-and-white Australian Cattle Dog with bright eyes, a quick mind, and a whole lot of personality packed into her 44-lb frame. Around 2 years old, Deer is at that perfect age where she’s ready to learn, explore, and bond deeply with her people. In the shelter environment, she’s shown some inner conflict—she wants to interact but isn’t always sure how to feel at first. Give her a little patience and space to decide she’s safe, and you’ll see her confidence bloom.Once Deer knows you’re part of her circle, watch out—she turns into a total wild child in the best way. She’s energetic, playful, and full of life, the kind of dog who will thrive with structure, activity, and someone who appreciates the clever, busy nature of a true cattle dog. Deer will do best with an adopter who understands her need for both mental and physical outlets and is excited to build trust with a dog who gives her whole heart once she’s in.The dog adoption fee is $110.

Story
Meet Snack Table Monitor, a 3-year-old black lab mix with a sensible name and a soft, sensitive soul. At a lovely 50 lbs, she’s a bit undersocialized and can be frightened by sudden loud noises, so she’ll do best in a calm, patient home that lets her build confidence at her own pace. She can be wary of strangers at first, but gentle introductions and consistency go a long way with this thoughtful girl.Once she’s comfortable, Snack Table Monitor reveals her true calling: snuggle queen extraordinaire. She loves toys and is highly food-motivated, though she’ll need continued training to learn how to take treats gently (enthusiasm first, manners second!). With kind guidance, positive reinforcement, and a little time, she’ll become a deeply loyal, affectionate companion who takes both cuddling and snack supervision very seriously.The dog adoption fee is $110 .
