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
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.

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.

Story
Judy is a beautiful and gentle dog with a pristine white coat that highlights her sweet and loving personality. At 4 years old, she brings a perfect mix of maturity and enthusiasm, ready to become a cherished member of a loving home. While she may be a little shy when meeting new people for the first time, she quickly warms up and seeks affection. Judy walks well on a leash and enjoys her time outdoor, but she should NEVER be left unattended outside. She is a professional escape artist and is addicted to the mischief she gets into when she is able to bolt. Judy would thrive in a patient and loving household where she can receive plenty of affection and gentle care. Her ideal family would be one that understands her initial shyness and can provide a calm and reassuring environment to help her build confidence, as well as keep her safe from her adventuresome ways. Judy`s sweet and enthusiastic personality makes her a great fit for families, singles, or couples who are looking for a loving and interactive pet. A commitment to her training and confidence-building exercises will be essential to helping Judy reach her full potential. Judy is eager to meet you. Contact us to learn more about how you can make her a part of your family.The dog adoption fee is $90.

Story
Meet Indie, a bright and beautiful 3-year-old German Shepherd who has blossomed during his time at the shelter. He arrived underweight and itchy from flea allergies, but with care, good food, and love, he’s gaining weight, healing well, and showing his true, gentle nature. Once a bit defensive and barky in his kennel, Indie has worked hard to trust the world again—and it shows. On walks he’s a dream: calm, curious, and happiest when he can sniff every interesting scent along the way. He knows sit and paw, takes treats with remarkable softness, and his intelligence shines through in everything he does. Indie is playful, affectionate, and has that classic GSD loyalty that will make him a devoted companion—and likely a naturally good watchdog for his home. We don’t yet know how he feels about other dogs, but with people he has truly opened his heart. We do know that he will probably chase cats. Indie is incredibly special to those who know him, and he’s ready to be just as special to the person or family who chooses him. If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, soulful dog to share your life with, Indie is waiting.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.
