Story

Meet Dutch! 🐾 Dutch is a 2-year-old little brown terrier with endless joy, a tail that never stops wagging, and a heart full of love. ❤️ He’s been waiting at the rescue for 1.5 years because he’s “too much energy” for some folks—but we think the right person will see exactly what makes him special. Dutch lives for walks, fetch, adventures, and his people. He’s great with other dogs, but cats, chickens, and goats? Hard pass. 😅 He’s not looking to be a couch potato. He wants to be your hiking buddy, adventure partner, and biggest fan. If you’re looking for a fun-loving dog who thinks you’re the best thing in the world, Dutch could be your guy. After 1.5 years of waiting, he’s ready for an adventure—and a home that matches his energy. 🐶💙 #AdoptDutch #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #TerrierLove #HikingBuddy #RescueDogs #ForeverHome

Details

Story

Phoebe had always been a little sunbeam of a dog — the kind who wagged her whole body, not just her tail, and greeted every person like they were the best thing that had ever happened to her. She started her journey in rescue, a tiny white pup with bright eyes and a heart that trusted easily. When her first family adopted her, everyone at the shelter cheered. Phoebe trotted out the door with her new people, her ears bouncing, her future wide open. For three beautiful years, she lived a good life. She learned the sound of her family’s laughter, the rhythm of their footsteps, and the comfort of curling up on the couch after a long day. She was loved — truly loved. But life changed. Her family had to move far away, somewhere they couldn’t take Phoebe. And so, with tearful goodbyes and promises that she would find another wonderful home, Phoebe returned to the rescue she once left behind. At first, she didn’t understand. She waited by the door. She perked up at every familiar sound. But slowly, she realized she wasn’t being left — she was being given another chance. Now, Phoebe greets each new visitor with hopeful eyes and her signature full‑body wiggle. She’s older, wiser, and still overflowing with love. She isn’t looking for just any home — she’s looking for her forever one, the kind that doesn’t change with circumstances or distance. Phoebe’s story isn’t about being returned. It’s about resilience, loyalty, and the belief that somewhere out there is a family who will stay. And until they walk through the door, she’ll keep wagging.

duke

Westie, West Highland White Terrier Maltese

Male, 1 yr 3 mos

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.

Flower

Catahoula Leopard Dog Labrador Retriever

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

4yr old Flower has made the best of a VERY DIFFERENT living situation from where he was raised. At my small farm he went from being BOSS guardian of his human family and litter mate brother to student, learning how to chase varmints in close proximity safely with the other 7 dogs that fairly loose their minds without prompt. He was requested to co habit, as well w free range chickens, ducks and sheep he learned not to disturb with introductions to the farm cat without drama. He DOES need a fenced yard as his nose leads him and one would want to b aware of Catahoula behavior. True to "Cat" DNA It is his "tough" and "solid" makes him calm, smart no nonsense. He CAN be off leash once there is a bond. Tweaking his TRAINING A MUST as well for the necessary bond! I am seeking a loving family or single willing to MAKE time to KNOW him; exercise and stimulate him but nothing extraordinary. His mix is "soft". Let's talk Flower.

Story

Peaches really is the sweetest thing. She likes to snuggle up next to you but she’s also her own dog. She’s been apart of our family sense she was born. She’s 9 years old and I’ve recently made a profile for her brother Jack. Our plan is to have them both cared for together. There is not enough that can be said for how much we love these dogs and pains us to give them up due to our relocation. We are looking for experienced, loving owners who can bless them with a good home.
