Story

Meet Thebe, a sweet, derpy hound dog that loves walks and cuddles. Thebe joined our family in February of 2026. She showed up in the neighborhood and was being fed by neighbors for about three weeks before we adopted her. She appeared to be between 2-3 years old and looked like she had recently given birth. She is now spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. After having her for a several months we have observed that she likes to play with dogs, chase squirrels, and to sniff interesting scents. Most of all she loves physical touch. If you sit down she will come for pets. She gets along great with women and children but can be shy around some men. Ideally she would go to a family that likes to go on long walks and cuddling with their dogs.

Biggie

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Adult

Tacoma, WA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter,

Story

He belonged to my brother, I took him in, my brother didn’t take care of him and left him home for 13+ hours a day. He became mine and was not trained, the best thing he’s good at is waiting to eat his food. Other things, not as much. He isn’t good at sitting too still when excited. He’s never bitten anyone but he does bark when nervous and can get very worked up and get intimidating. He’s a very anxious and reactive dog. His leash training is very minimal. He pulls the leash a lot, can be hard to get him to stay consistent at times especially with the little time we spend together. All he’s ever needed was a good home and the proper attention. He’s a sweet scared boy that needs a lot of love. It’s not about the money for me, it’s about finding him a home that he deserves. He’s felt like a furry little son to me and I want what’s best for him. He means the world to me. I know that if he had the right owner, he’d be happy. It’s not about the money for me, just a good home for Biggie.

Story

Meet Toasty, an Anatolian Shepherd / St. Bernard mix turning 3 this April. I’ve had the privilege of raising him since he was just 8 weeks old, and he has been nothing but a loyal, loving, and unforgettable companion. Toasty is full of life and personality. He has grown up around kids of all ages—from toddlers to teens—and showers them with affection, laughter, and the occasional goofy moment. He’s naturally protective, deeply devoted to his people, and happiest when he has space to roam and a purpose to fulfill. His big, thunderous bark may surprise you, but it comes from a place of love and pride—he truly believes it’s his job to keep everyone safe. He’s housebroken, understands verbal and hand commands, and finds pure joy in the simple things: outdoor adventures, splashing in water, fresh air, and being close to the people he loves. This is not an easy decision. My work schedule has changed, and I no longer have the time Toasty deserves. He spends too much time alone, and he deserve
