Story
Apple and London can be transported anywhere between the Washington/Canadian border, Spokane and Southern Oregon. Please consider adopting them together - they are best friends and would love to stay together forever! Apple and London were part of a litter surrendered after 2 puppies sadly passed away due to lack of care by their owner. They were born 10/16/23 and are a mix of around 15 different breeds, predominantly German shepherd. Apple has one floppy ear and will tap your leg with her paw to ask for scratches. She gets the cutest little zoomies! London has big pointy ears, is very small for a shepherd and sometimes thinks she is a lap dog! They will alert you when people or animals approach your home, but they are otherwise quiet. They are both: -Friendly with large and small dogs. -Gentle with an 11 lb. senior dog in their foster home. -House trained, crate trained, and know “sit.” -Vaccinated and will be spayed. Both girls are absolute sweethearts and the perfect, low-maintenance family dogs. They are unbelievably calm and quiet indoors, but they love to run around and play outdoors. They like to chase each other and wrestle! Although they are still young, they do not behave like wild puppies at all. They are obedient and learn quickly, they are well behaved, and they love to be couch potatoes indoors. They would be happy as the only dogs or playmates in part of a bigger pack. Wherever one is, you will find the other. They can be shy at first, but they are loving and can bond quickly to their new family. They are looking for an active family with a fully enclosed yard. Fence is ideally at least 5 feet tall. Must be a decent sized yard for their breed and someone home so they aren’t crated and alone all day. Must be able to provide a forever home. Applications can be found at caringhearts4paws.org Adoption donation is $650 total for both dogs, which includes their spays, vaccinations, microchips, and a contribution by their current foster. Home check is required.

Story
Luna loves people and other dogs. She is high energy so a trip to the dog park or lots of walking/outside time is great for her. She also loves car rides and cuddles. She is spayed and up to date on shots. Luna unfortunately does not like to be left alone so she needs someone that is able to be home often or can take her with them. She has no problems with her crate/kennel unless you leave her alone.
