Story

Charlotte was a gentle brown-and-white dog who once lived in a small house with a family. One day, the family moved away and left her behind. For days, Charlotte waited by the front door, hoping someone would come back for her. She felt lonely and scared, but she never gave up. A neighbor eventually noticed Charlotte and called for help. Soon, animal rescue workers arrived and carefully brought her to a shelter. At first, Charlotte was nervous in her new surroundings. She missed having a home and didn't understand why she had been abandoned. The shelter staff showed her kindness every day. They gave her warm meals, soft blankets, and plenty of love. As the weeks passed, Charlotte's tail began to wag again. She made new friends, enjoyed walks outside, and discovered that people could still be trusted. Today, Charlotte is healthy, happy, in rescue and ready for a fresh start. She dreams of finding a family who will love her forever. When visitors stop by her kennel, she greets them with bright eyes and a hopeful smile. Charlotte's first home may have left her behind, but her story isn't over. Her next chapter is waiting—and it might begin with the family who chooses to adopt her.

Saphira

Miniature Pinscher Chihuahua

Female, 11 mos

Yelm, WA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Saphira was only eleven months old, a tiny Min Pin mix with bright eyes and a heart that refused to dim, even when life got rough. The veterinarians believed she had been hit by a car, and for a while, her future felt uncertain. But Saphira wasn’t the kind of pup who gave up. She was the kind who fought her way back to joy. Her foster mom became her safe place — the one who carried her gently, whispered encouragement, and made sure she got every bit of care she needed. Today, she took Saphira in for more X‑rays, wanting to be absolutely sure her little fighter was healing the way she deserved. And the news was everything they hoped for. Saphira is cleared, healthy, and ready — ready for walks, ready for cuddles, ready for a family who will love her for the rest of her life. She still has that spark, that wiggle, that “I made it” glow that only rescue dogs seem to carry. She’s playful, sweet, and endlessly grateful for every soft bed, every kind hand, every new beginning. Now all she needs is someone who sees her the way her foster mom does — as a survivor, a sweetheart, and a once‑in‑a‑lifetime companion. Saphira’s next chapter is waiting. She just needs her person to turn the page.

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hello! My name is Kobe and I am a REALLY sweet dog, with lots of energy. I love other dogs, but I am not the best with cats… I want to play with them too roughly you might say. I love my family, but they are moving to Alaska in January of 2027 which won’t be a good fit for me. Ever since my parents had human babies, they haven’t had a lot of time for me, so they want to find someone for me that will walk me, pet me, and let me run all day long. I like to bark, and I am very food motivated. I will be 7 years old this year! I love children of all ages, but I don’t know my own strength with smaller children, so I need supervision when I am around them. I am an outside dog now, but I used to be an inside dog. If you have any questions, feel free to message my owner! :)

Details

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

Story

Twila is only three years old, but she’s already learned that life can change in an instant. She came into rescue on a quiet afternoon, riding in the backseat with her favorite blanket and a look in her eyes that said wasn’t sure what was happening. Her owners were going through a divorce, and although they loved him, they knew they couldn’t give her the stability she deserved. So they made the heartbreaking choice to surrender him — hoping someone new would give her the life they no longer could. She didn’t understand the grown‑up reasons. What she did understand was kindness. And the moment she stepped into rescue, she felt it everywhere — soft voices, gentle hands, and the promise that she wasn’t alone. In just a few days, she showed everyone exactly who she is: a cheerful little Westie with a big personality. sHe loves trotting around the yard like he owns it, curling up for belly rubs, and greeting every human like they’re already her best friend. Shes smart, loyal, and full of that classic Westie sparkle. Twila is ready for her next chapter — one filled with laughter, routine, and a family who will adore her forever. If you think he might be the missing piece of your home, please email for an application. She's waiting, tail wagging, for the person who will love him for the rest of his life.
