Story

After the heartbreaking loss of my neighbor earlier this month (May), I stepped in to care for four truly special dogs who are now ready for loving, permanent homes. These incredible pups—Harley [Male 8 intact], Memphis [Female 7 spayed], Rufus [Male 2.5 Intact], and Stormie [Female 2.5 spayed]—each have their own unique personalities and so much love to give.I’ve made their health and well-being the top priority. All four have been seen at North Tacoma Veterinary Clinic for full wellness exams, vaccinations, and boosters. They’ve been cleared of any health concerns, so you can adopt with confidence knowing they are healthy, cared for, and ready to thrive in their next chapter.Harley (American Bulldog) – A gentle, laid-back companion who loves to relax by your side. Harley has a calm, steady presence and he would be perfect for someone looking for a loyal, easygoing best friend.Don’t wait—your new best friend is ready to meet you.

Story

Zoe is a 5 year old Aussie/blue heeler mix. She is fiercely loyal and affectionate to her people. She does not do well with other dogs or small children without proper introduction. She may act aggressive, but it’s simply a defense mechanism for her anxiety. She is good to be an outdoor dog and would love a large property to guard. She has been well trained and does not have potty issues inside. Zoe would do best with an experienced owner. Unfortunately with life changes we don’t have space for Zoe anymore. Please reach out if she seems like a good fit for you!

He is currently not showing much interest in adoption events, but in a home environment his personality shines through as a steady, sweet, and loyal companion. Brody does have epilepsy, which is well-controlled with medication.

With his calm temperament and good manners, Brody is ready to settle into a home where he can feel safe, loved, and included as part of the family. If you're looking for a gentle, dog-friendly companion with a big heart, Brody may be the perfect match.
