Story

Lucus was the kind of puppy who should’ve had the world at his paws — bright eyes, a wiggly tail, and a heart that overflowed with sweetness. But one morning, he was found sitting quietly in a kennel at the shelter, no note, no explanation, no person waiting to say goodbye. No one knew why he’d been dumped. Maybe his family moved. Maybe they didn’t understand how gentle he really was. Maybe life just got too hard. But Lucus? He didn’t let the mystery dim his spirit. He greeted every volunteer with a hopeful bounce, pressing his soft head into their hands as if to say, “I’m still here. I’m still good. I still believe in people.” He made friends instantly — tail wagging, paws dancing, eyes shining with that goofy, outgoing charm only a rescue puppy can pull off. Lucus loved everyone. He loved the squeaky toys. He loved the long walks. He loved curling up beside anyone who sat near his kennel, offering quiet comfort with his warm little body. And slowly, the shelter realized something important: Lucus wasn’t broken. He wasn’t sad. He was ready. Ready for a family who would never leave him behind. Ready for a home where his sweetness would be cherished. Ready for a forever life filled with love, adventure, and all the belly rubs he could dream of. Lucus is waiting — hopeful, happy, and full of heart — for the person who will finally say, “Come home, little buddy.”

Story

🐶 Rocky – Malshi Puppy Looking for a Great Home Rocky is a sweet, playful and affectionate Malshi (Maltese/Shih Tzu mix), born May 4th. He’s a happy, active and curious little guy who loves attention, playing and being around people. He’s social, not shy, and does really well going potty outside. He is up to date on his vaccines and deworming for his age and will just need to continue his normal puppy boosters and routine care. Due to some lifestyle and work changes, I’m looking to find Rocky a loving home that has the time and attention he deserves. A rehoming fee applies, but I’m pretty flexible on the fee — finding the right home is more important to me. I’m located in Yelm and can travel a reasonable distance if time allows. Please tell me a little about yourself and the home Rocky would be going to if you’re interested.

duke

Westie, West Highland White Terrier Maltese

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Yelm, WA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Duke wasn’t the kind of dog who ever expected his world to change. He was loyal, steady, and happiest when lying at his owner’s feet, soaking up every gentle pat and quiet moment they shared. But when his owner became very sick, everything shifted. The house grew quieter. The routines faded. And one day, Duke was brought to the shelter — not because he wasn’t loved, but because his person could no longer care for him. At first, Duke didn’t understand. He waited by the kennel door, ears perked every time footsteps passed. He wasn’t sad so much as confused, trying to make sense of a world that suddenly felt too big. But the staff quickly learned something important about Duke: beneath his worried eyes is a heart overflowing with love. He leans into every gentle touch. He wags his tail when someone speaks softly. He watches people with a hopeful spark, as if he’s searching for the next person he’ll give his whole heart to. Duke isn’t starting over because he was unwanted — he’s starting over because someone loved him enough to make sure he’d be safe. Now he’s waiting for a new family who will give him the same devotion he’s always given so freely. And when that family finds him, Duke will be ready — tail wagging, heart open, eager to begin again.

Toad

Pomeranian

Male, Adult

Yelm, WA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Toad wasn’t sure what he did wrong. One day he was riding in the backseat, watching the world blur by through the window. The next, he was standing in a loud shelter lobby, his leash handed over, his people walking away without even looking back. He tried to follow, tiny paws skittering on the floor, but the door closed before he reached it. For a moment, Toad just sat there — a small Pomeranian mix with a big confused heart. But shelters have a way of spotting the special ones, and Toad was special from the start. He had a fox‑like face, a plume of a tail, and a little hop in his step that made the volunteers laugh. They started calling him “Toad,” because he’d bounce toward them like a happy little toad whenever he saw someone coming. And slowly, Toad realized something important: He hadn’t been left behind. He’d been given a second chance. At the rescue, he learned that people could be gentle. He learned that laps were warm, treats were plentiful, and walks were full of good smells and better company. He made friends — both the furry kind and the human kind — and he soaked up every bit of love like he’d been waiting his whole life for it. Now Toad is ready. Ready for a home where he isn’t an afterthought. Ready for a family who sees him as forever, not temporary. Ready to give all the loyalty, joy, and goofy little hops he’s been saving. Toad isn’t looking back anymore. He prefers women He’s looking for you.

Lera

Italian Greyhound Chihuahua

Female, 2 yrs

Yelm, WA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Lera didn't always know what it felt like to be safe. She had spent weeks wandering the streets alone, searching for food, a dry place to sleep, and someone who might notice her. Though she was scared, Lera never stopped wagging her tail whenever a kind person walked by, hoping this time someone would stop. One rainy afternoon, everything changed. A rescue team found Lera shivering under a park bench and brought her somewhere warm. With good meals, gentle care, and lots of patience, she slowly began to trust again. Before long, her playful personality blossomed. She discovered the joy of squeaky toys, soft blankets, belly rubs, and making new friends. Now Lera greets everyone with bright eyes and a happy tail. She loves walks, cuddles on the couch, and quietly sitting beside the people she loves. Her past may have been uncertain, but it hasn't changed her gentle heart. Lera is ready for her forever family-a family who will see not just where she came from, but the wonderful companion she's become. All she needs is someone to say, 'Welcome home.
