Story
Meet Skillet, the one-dog entrée your life has been missing - perfectly seasoned, lightly sizzled, and ready to serve up a whole lot of love. At just a year old and a hearty 68 lbs, this Pretty Pittie Committee board member takes his responsibilities very seriously: quality control on all snacks, temperature checks on sunshine spots, and thorough evaluation of every stick within a five-mile radius. (And if you’re wondering - yes, he WILL select the biggest, most impressive branch and parade it like he’s hosting his own Thanksgiving Day parade float.) Skillet is strong (like real strong) so he currently uses a harness for walks to help channel all that fresh-baked enthusiasm into something resembling a polite stroll. He knows “sit,” is probably working on “paw” (jury still out), and brings his own blend of sweet, sensitive charm to every moment. He’s a rough-and-tumble play guy who sometimes forgets he’s not a cast-iron pan built to survive anything, but don’t let that fool you! This kid has a soft, melty center. Skillet adores people, loves treats almost as much, and is just plain over being here. He’s ready to be the star of your table, the main dish, the one-dog show who doesn’t share the spotlight (or the gravy) with other pups. If you do have another canine companion in your life, Skillet is highly selective, so need to extra careful that they would be a good pairing. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with flavor, heart, muscle, and a whole lot of goofy swagger, Skillet is ready to jump out of the shelter and into your home - hot, fresh, and finally where he belongs.The dog adoption fee is $90. They come spayed/neutered, microchipped, first set of vaccines including DAPP (parvo combo), Bordetella (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.

Story
This sweet holiday treat is ready to be unwrapped and adored! Cranberry Cobbler is a 1-year-old, 66-lb black-and-white pit bull mix with a personality as warm and festive as her name. She’s a friendly, exuberant girl who loves people, loves walks, and absolutely lives for her zoomies—especially in the “winter wonderland” of our play yard.Here at the shelter, Cranberry Cobbler has been an absolute sweetheart. With all the hustle and bustle of the season, she can get a little nervous meeting new people or adjusting to busy environments, so she’ll need adopters who can start off slow and give her a moment to warm up. But once she feels safe, she shines brighter than a holiday tree topper.Treats are her love language and showing her a leash is like announcing the start of her favorite holiday—her whole face lights up and she perks right up, ready to trot through the snow (real or imaginary). She’d make the perfect companion for someone who wants an enthusiastic walking buddy, a playful spirit, and a snugglebug to cozy up with afterward.If you`re looking to add a dash of sweetness, a sprinkle of silliness, and a whole lot of festive cheer to your home this holiday season, Cranberry Cobbler is ready to be the best gift you give yourself. Wrap your arms around this girl and take her home for the holidays!The dog adoption fee is $90. 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.

Story
Kane is an 8-month-old Mastiff weighing 78 pounds with a thoughtful, reserved personality. He can be a bit standoffish with people he doesn’t know and needs time to observe, warm up, and build trust. Being in a kennel isn’t his favorite, and he’s much more comfortable outside where he can relax, explore, and feel at ease.With patience, kindness, and plenty of treats, Kane begins to show his softer side. He enjoys tasty snacks and has a playful streak when it comes to stuffed toys. Once he trusts you, Kane can be a very sweet and loyal boy — he just needs a person who understands that good things take time and is willing to go slow to help him feel safe.The dog adoption fee is $90. 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.

Story
Meet Applejack, a handsome black and white husky with a gentle heart and just the right amount of mischief. He earned his name from his apple-stealing antics, and while he certainly has a playful streak, he is also a very sweet, sensitive dog who wants nothing more than to feel safe with his people. Applejack approaches new people slowly, often with shy curiosity, soft eyes, and the occasional little tongue blep. Once he warms up, he offers gentle kisses and leans in for pets on his head and back. Applejack will do best in a patient, understanding home that can help him build confidence at his own pace. He thrives when he is close to people and seems to relax more the longer he spends around them. With the right guidance, structure, and security, this sweet boy will continue to blossom. Applejack has made steady progress and is ready to meet his future family—one that can appreciate both his tender personality and his lovable husky quirks.The dog adoption fee is $90. They come spayed/neutered, microchipped, first set of vaccines including DHPP (parvo combo), Bordatella (kennel cough), and Strongid (wormer).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.

Story
Buck is a 9-year-old, 38-pound sweetheart with a snowy white coat and the most adorable brown spots on his ears - seriously, they’re heart-melting. He has a gentle, calm presence and carries himself like the good boy he’s always been. With excellent potty training and an easygoing personality, Buck fits seamlessly into any home ready to give him the love he deserves. While he has an easy-going personality with people, he has shown some selectiveness with dogs while on and off leash, a meet and greet is required for this handsome lad and any of his new potential pack mates. He may do best with a fully fenced yard to have to himself and his pack, because we have learned that during walks he is quite reactive to other dogs, bicycles, golf carts, etc. This handsome guy lives for two things: the couch and pets. Whether he’s by your side or leaning in for a good scratch, or curled up in his favorite spot on the couch, Buck is all about soaking up attention and enjoying simple moments with his people. He should not live with cats, as they are his sworn enemy. He’s loyal, loving, and as sweet as they come - the kind of dog who makes every day just a little brighter.The dog adoption fee is $90. They come spayed/neutered, microchipped, first set of vaccines including DAPP (parvo combo), Bordetella (kennel cough), have been dewormed with Pyrantel, and have been treated with selamectin for fleas.
