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
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 Ron Swanson, a 78-pound embodiment of minimal nonsense and maximum gentleman. At 3 years old, this German Shepherd mix carries himself with the quiet confidence of a man who whittles his own canoes and believes breakfast should come in the form of steak — maybe with a side of steak. Ron walks like a dignified park ranger on patrol: calm, steady, unfazed. No jumping, no rowdy antics — just a polite lean against your leg to say, “Yes, human. You may pet me now.” Neck scratches appreciated. Kisses offered in return. The mustache is metaphorical… but the energy is absolutely there.This handsome lad has been walked near dogs and even chickens like they were beneath his concern — a firm “meh” and onward he strolled. That’s a promising hint he could enjoy a respectful canine roommate, pending a meet-and-greet to ensure vibes are aligned. Ron Swanson is selective in his snack preferences — Milk Bones? Absolutely not. Hot dogs? Try again. A well-seasoned steak or something hearty and man-approved is more his style. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts stoic, affectionate, and politely unimpressed by poultry, Ron is ready to join you at home — preferably on the couch after 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 Cinny — like a warm cinnamon roll straight from the oven, she’s equal parts sweet, cozy, and the kind of gal who makes everything feel just a little more comforting. This 4-year-old German Shepherd mix is a beautiful tan girl with soft black highlights, as if someone sprinkled cinnamon sugar along her coat for flair. She’s affectionate, communicative, and just wants to be part of the mix — whether that’s couch snuggles, gentle chats about your day, or shadowing you like your personal emotional support pastry. She previously lived in a home where she was reported to be potty and crate trained, proving she’s not just sweet, she’s smart-sweet. Treats? Yes. Human time? Absolutely. A home willing to appreciate a dog who adores her people? Cinnamon roll heaven. Cinny is a social baby who thrives on connection and wants to love and be loved right back. She’s got a calm vibe, steady presence, and a heart that rises like dough when she feels safe. While we’re still learning how she does with other animals, we do have a report from her previous home saying she did well around children, which tracks — cinnamon rolls pair beautifully with little hands and big hearts. If you’re looking for a lovely companion who will warm your home like fresh-baked comfort, Cinny might just be your perfect recipe for joy. Come meet her — she’s ready to sweeten someone’s life for good.The dog adoption fee is $90.

Story
From the Foster Home: A confident girl with a long, beautiful coat, a typical shepherd personality and with lots of love to give. Emmie is around 7 years young - she is very young at heart. She`s affectionate, steady, and self-assured, always interested and observing the world around her. She is thrilled about everything and is ALWAYS ready to go, don’t let her age fool ya. She is very strong and generally walks well on leash but she needs some work on containing her non-stop excitement. Emmie is so gentle when it comes to food. Some of it is because her teeth were not cared for, so she is slow and steady when it comes to eating. She has the eagerness of a younger dog but because she is a bit older, so she needs an adopter who will care for all of her needs, including future ones. Emmie has lived with other dogs before and is living with two large males in her foster home. She is confident and playful, which not all dogs love, so she`ll need slow, thoughtful introductions to any new canine companions. She does fantastic in her crate and does not have any separation anxiety but she will need her daily exercise. If you`re looking for a mature, loyal companion who will go on any adventure and also chill out with you on the couch, she may be your perfect match. She`s ready to spend her golden years living life to the fullest and in a home where she can feel safe, loved, and appreciated for the wonderful dog she is.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
Gothel is a stunning 3-year-old, 60-pound black beauty and devoted mama who came to us with a litter of puppies. At first, she was protective of her babies — as any good mom would be — but after time in her loving foster home, she has blossomed into a sweet, affectionate dog who enjoys being around people and soaking up attention.Shelter life can be stressful for her, and in her kennel she may bark at unfamiliar faces — not out of meanness, just uncertainty. However, once she knows you and feels safe, she transforms into a total lovebug! Gothel will happily smother you in kisses, lean right into you for cuddles, and show off her playful, silly side. She can get mouthy when she’s excited, so she’d do best in a home without small children where her energy can be understood and appreciated.Gothel is ready for the next chapter — one filled with trust, love, and a family who’ll give her the same devotion she gave her puppies. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and boundless affection, Gothel might just be your girl.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.
