Story
MEET KIA – Smart dog from herding lines Kia is a wonderful 1 year old red border collie. She is 25-30 lbs. Kia wants nothing more than to go to work and come home to a nice quiet space. She comes from strong, competitive herding lines, but doesn’t fit into her former owner’s herding program. Kia lived on a cattle ranch. Her foster took her to a herding instinct evaluation. Check out the video! Kia is very drivey. She would love to go to a working home where she could put her instincts to good use. Kia needs a quiet space as new noises can be scary, but she has been getting better with this in her foster home. Kia is on the submissive side. She is dog friendly and loves people. She is leash trained, crate trained and does great in the car. She has not shown any resource guarding behaviors. She seems to be potty trained but needs patience when she goes out (sometimes she is distracted and forgets to go). She is smart and ready to learn! KIA DOES WELL WITH: • Other dogs – Kia grew up around other dogs. She is comfortable and happy with both male and female dogs. • Cats – She has done well with cats both indoors and outdoors. She loves cats and does not chase them. • People – Kia is a sensitive girl but likes people. KIA WOULD NEED HELP WITH: • Poultry and horses – Fast movement excites Kia. She will chase and try to work chickens and horses, but with proper training, we feel that she could learn boundaries. • Sound sensitivity – Kia is a sensitive girl who is learning to be comfortable in new environments. THE REST OF THE IMPORTANT DETAILS Kia was recently spayed, microchipped, and brought up to date on her vaccinations. She is currently being fostered in Shelton, WA. Her adoption fee is $400. If you are interested in adopting Kia and are pre-approved, please contact the adoption team at hunahapps@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Wesley, a handsome 2-year-old Pit Bull-type dog weighing 79 pounds. With his beautiful brown-and-black coat and a little touch of white, Wesley is quite the head-turner! He’s a food-loving, playful guy who enjoys getting attention and having fun. Life in the shelter has been a little overwhelming for Wesley, and he initially showed some discomfort through barrier reactivity while in his kennel.The good news is that Wesley has made great progress with time and patience. He now allows staff to leash him and is able to head outside for walks, showing that once he’s given the opportunity to get away from the shelter environment, he can relax and enjoy himself. Wesley is looking for someone who will continue to give him the time, patience, and positive experiences he needs to feel comfortable and confident. If you’re willing to look beyond his kennel behavior and give this big, playful boy a chance, Wesley would love to show you what a great companion he can be!The dog adoption fee is $110. 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.

Story
Meet Midna, a 3-year-old, 60-pound Black Lab mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Midna is a friendly, affectionate girl who doesn’t always show her best side while she’s in her kennel. She can be barrier reactive in the shelter, but once she’s out and about, her personality shines through. Midna loves getting outside, putting her nose to work, and taking in all the interesting smells around her. She can be a bit of a puller on leash, especially when there’s something exciting to investigate, but her enthusiasm and curiosity are part of her charm.Midna would do best in a home without cats and children, and she can be leash reactive toward other dogs. Interestingly, she is reported to do well with dogs when she’s off leash, so thoughtful introductions and the right canine match may be possible. Midna is the kind of dog who may need adopters to look past her shelter behavior and give her the chance to show them who she really is. If you’re looking for a fun, friendly companion with plenty of personality and a nose for adventure, Midna might just be your girl!The dog adoption fee is $110.

Story
Tsuki is around 5yrs and is a very sweet, loving girl. She loves a good belly rub and will bombard you with kisses. She’s very excited about everything and has so much energy. She loves running, going on walks, and cuddles. Shes iffy with other animals but never aggressive, she’s great with children and other people once she knows you. We adopted Tsuki from the humane society in CO 3 years ago and she was very timid at first, they told us she was surrendered for chewing on shoes and kids toys but we haven’t had that issue with her. We can tell she wasn’t socialized with people or other animals and has some separation anxiety. She does like to get into the trash and chew on things when left alone but is crate trained. She has some incontinence due to being spayed but really only goes potty when she’s scared (fireworks) or really excited. She’s been an amazing dog for our family and we’re really sad that we have to say goodbye but we are military and can’t take her to the next base.

Miss Marley girl!! This sweet little lady is estimated to be between 8-10 years old. Shes a chocolate lab/staffy mix, that weighs around 50 pounds!! Marley is the most vivacious older gal you will ever have the pleasure to meet. She LOVES to play ball, and being near her humans. Marley doesnt let age stop her spunky ways, she truly enjoys life! Her gentle and kind heart always radiates... she is truly a sweet old soul. She enjoys other mellow dogs that like to share human time, with proper introduction she does like to make new dog friends . Marley would love to be her humans entire world . She would also make a nice family dog with kids 10 and up. Marley is looking for her new forever home after losing her owner a few months ago. Her fosters say, shes in good health and shes very low maintenance. They currently leave her for long periods of time, and she does wonderful! As soon as you get home shell be welcoming you with a wiggly butt and lots of kisses. She loves going for quiet walks. Lots of traffic can be a little stimulating for Miss Marley, but take her on any adventure in the woods, and youll have the best hiking partner around! We just tested her on a walk with another dog, and she did amazing!! And please dont let her age fool ya, she has the spirit of a young dog, but the laid back and mellow demeanor of an older gal. She loves to get her naps in through out the day. In her current home there are chickens that free roam and she doesnt pay attention to them at all. Marley would make a great companion because she has all the wonderful things people love about senior dogs, like being less maintenance energy wise, But she still can get around and knows how to party like a younger dog at the appropriate times! Retired or work from home and need a friend to fill the space? This sweet girl would absolutely fill your space and fill your heart as well!
