Story
Killua is a shy 4 yr. old male who is anxious when other dogs are around, but not around people. With people he is very friendly, but doesn't like a toy taken from him :) I have had him for 4-5 months. I got him from my friend's niece when she became too busy with a new baby to continue to give him the attention he deserves to have. Unfortunately, even though dogs are allowed at my apartment complex I misunderstood that they have to small dogs, 20lbs or less. I'm really disappointed because even in a short amount of time I've really grown to love him. He will be missed!

Story
Lucy is a super sweet dog. She is a comedian. Her owner is unable to care for her after a fall. She is used to being the only dog in the house and is used to being spoiled. A fenced yard is required as she is a runner. Lucy is fine with large, over 50lbs dogs. She will bully little ones and is not aware of her size. It is fun watching her with a dog of her size. She will be 10 in March.

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cookie is a 1 year old mix breed. She came to us as a stray. We got her spayed and her shots. We are unable to keep her because our other dog bullys her too much. She is kennel trained and loves people. Very kind and cuddly. I would not recommend small children because she is young with a lot of energy. She is still learning and needs a solid daily routine. Needs a fenced yard but does listen off leash. She would thrive with a younger dog her size that plays well with other dogs. She loves to run and play ball and really needs to find a good home. Also would not recommend senior dogs because she plays a little too hard for them.

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 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. 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
All aboard the cuddle cruiser, because Boat Snacks is captaining your heart! At 5 years old and 57 lbs of pure soft-velvet delight, she’s a first-class passenger on the love ship. Despite her name, she’s picky with food—she’d rather chart a course straight to scritches and belly rubs than nibble on treats. Roll over? Aye aye, captain! Melt into your lap? Like butter on a sunlit deck. This mariner of merriment glides through life with smooth sailing vibes. She walks well on leash like a pro navigator, keeps the shelter ship quiet, and may need a wee moment to adjust her anchor in a new port—but once she does, she’s a full-on love vessel. Imagine a dog who’s equal parts soft, sweet, and velvety—Boat Snacks is ready to steer into your life, leaving trails of smiles and waggy-tail wake wherever she goes. Hop on deck, because this yellow-and-white wonder is ready to make waves in your heart!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.
