Story
Mollie is a little over 1 year old. She was dumped on the current owner's property at 5 weeks old. She does well in the house. She is crate trained, but will eat the dog bed. Paws at the crate while inside as well. She currently chases cats, and it is unknown what she would do if she caught a cat. She does bark at cats she sees outside. Unknown how she does with dogs, but was taken once to the dog park and responded reactively, so will need someone willing to train/socialize her more with dogs. She barks and lunges at people outside while on walks, but is responding well to training against this currently. When she was a younger puppy, she was allowed to greet everyone, so she is overaroused and frustrated at not being able to investigate everyone she sees. She pulls hard on the leash, but is also responding well to this training, and with consistent corrections, has started to not pull as much. She will need an active pet home or perhaps a sport dog home. She needs consistency.

He’s a loving dog, a good boy, but. It breaks my heart that I can’t have him anymore. He needs a loving home/family. He loves attention and will follow you everywhere you go. Loves to sleep near you too. He’s a lover not a fighter

Story
Freya is an intelligent, healthy, friendly dog. She is athletic, agile and loves to play. She loves outdoor play time and walking. She is accustomed to living with another dog. A dog of medium size is ideal as a companion. She loves people and is very loving and gentle aside from playtime.Freya is house broken and crate trained. She sleeps in her crate at night. She knows basic commands as well as hand signals for come, sit, stay. She is vaccinated, microchipped and very healthy. She is a good weight and very fit.Praise is important to her; she responds well to praise and treats for motivation. Her ideal home would have someone home most of the time; she would do well with older children. She is most happy handing out with family.She is being placed due to my declining health.Her crate is available to go with her along with a couple of her favorite toys, winter coat and raincoat.

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
Shelby is a 64-lb German Shepherd who is fully embracing her good-girl era. At 6 years and 3 months old, she`s got plenty of pep left for walks and adventures but also appreciates the finer things in life—like treats, companionship, and a comfy place to relax. She`s a sweet listener, an easygoing gal, and the kind of dog who makes you wonder how you got so lucky. A new home is a big transition, so Shelby may need a little time to settle in and find her footing. Give her some patience and grace, and you`ll likely be rewarded with a loyal friend for life. She`s currently housed with another dog and may enjoy having a canine sibling, though we always recommend a proper meet-cute first. Fluffy, lovely, and full of quiet charm, Shelby is ready for her next chapter—and she`s hoping it includes 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
Yeezy is a handsome 2-year-old American Bulldog mix with a heart every bit as big as his sturdy frame. While he may be a little shy when meeting new people, it doesn`t take long for his true personality to shine through. Once Yeezy feels comfortable, he`s all about love, affection, and being close to his favorite humans. A few kind words and some gentle pets are usually all it takes to turn this reserved boy into a devoted companion.Underneath that initially bashful exterior is a dog who thinks there`s no such thing as too much attention. Yeezy`s favorite place is right next to you—or even better, curled up in your lap if you`ll let him! He loves soaking up pets and returning every bit of affection with loyalty and companionship. If you`re looking for a sweet dog who will blossom into a loving shadow and fill your days with cuddles, Yeezy is ready to make himself right at home in your heart and on your couch.The dog adoption fee is $110.
