Dutch Shepherd puppies and dogs in Bellingham, Washington

With her gorgeous brindle coat, human-like eyes, and the prettiest ember coloring, Rainee Bee is the kind of dog that stops you in your tracks. Add in her happy personality and incredibly loving nature, and you’ve got a girl who doesn’t just catch your attention… she keeps your heart. She’s happy, loving, and full of sweet personality, with the cutest little bursts of playful energy mixed in with her cozy, homebody charm. Rainee Bee may take a moment to warm up in new environments or with new people, but once she knows you, she lights up in the most special way. Her tail starts wagging, her goofy side comes out, and suddenly you’ve gained the most devoted, affectionate companion who just wants to be near you. She tends to open up especially quickly with women, and once you’re in her circle, her love is easy, genuine, and completely heart-melting. Rainee is a total lover, she loves all the people she's meet and absolutely adores her foster mom. Rainee also loves kids, when her foster mom's grandkids come over, she becomes their little guardian angel. She is respectful of kids, and their snacks. She loves to give them kisses, and has done really amazing with her foster mom's two year old granddaughter. As long as kids are respectful to her, Rainee will adore them. Watch her video and fall in love with her: https://youtu.be/2df99z-eqo0?si=iMP1fHgedij04Z4R Rainee Bee is believed to be a pittie mix approximately 3 years old and currently weighs 48 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Rainee really does teach you how to slow down in life and to appreciate everything around you. She loves laying out in the backyard, belly up and just soaking it all in like there’s no care in the world. She’s just a sweet and cuddly homebody that thrives in a slower paced environment with people that have the exact same mindset as she does. She loves a good snuggle and can be very affectionate towards the person she bonds with. Rainee promises to never pull your arm off looking for love from a stranger. She will take a moment to get to know you before professing her love, but… psst—don’t tell her we told you this, but Rainee’s heart is easily won with patience, gentle voices and trust. Once you're in her corner, it's game over! You’ll forever be her favorite person and you’ll gain the sweetest little shadow. The same can be said about Rainee when she is meeting new people. She will take a moment to get to know them but as long as she is with the people that she knows, loves and trusts, she quickly realizes your guests are an extension of her favorite people and she'll be resting her head on their lap and snuggling with them in no time. Especially towards women, she tends to open up fastest with women. She is good around men too and has been around plenty of them. It just takes her a little bit longer to feel fully comfortable around men and prefers to be around patient gentle toned men in life. Not only is Rainee your next best friend but she will also be your dog's next best friend! She has been introduced to so many different types of dogs and thrives around other dogs. Rainee is currently fostered with multiple dogs in the home and she gets along great with all of them. She is great about matching energies with other dogs, from romping, bouncing, wrestling gently, and throwing paws with dogs who enjoy that style. When play is done, she’ll calmly walk away and enjoy the fresh air. Rainee is shy when she first meets new dogs and will do best in a home with a doggy friend that will allow her to get the lay of the land, feel comfortable, etc. and then the rest is history. Rainee is good about sharing treats, affection, couch time and toys with her dog friends too. Speaking of toys, this little lady loves them! Especially stuffy toys! She loves tossing them up in the air and catching them like she’s air bud from the movies. She also does the cutest little hops when she’s playing too. Rainee knows how to entertain herself quietly with a chew toy or a stuffy. She can be relaxing on the couch with you by her side while you’re watching tv or even working from home and there will be Rainee quietly chewing her toy entertaining herself. She also has fantastic house manners! She is crate trained, potty trained, has never destroyed anything in the home, and doesn't get into anything she isn't supposed to. Rainee also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. She did not chase Biggie, nor was she bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around her as well. We do not know if she has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing her with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for her to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! Rainee would do best in a home with a backyard in a more residential area rather than in the heart of the city with all the noises that come with the city life. Rainee has great listening ears and some noises do spook her so a quieter neighborhood will ultimately be best for her. She also just loves to spend time outside and sunbathe and play with her dog friends. If you’re looking for a sweet, happy dog with personality, affection, and just the right balance of playful energy and cozy companionship, Rainee is ready to bring all of that and more into your life. We are willing to test Rainee Bee with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Meet Mygena Hyena: The Gorgeous Cuddly Adventure Princess✨ Why “Mygena Hyena,” you ask? One look at her giant goofy smile, her hilarious little expressions, and those absolutely breathtaking golden honey eyes, and it just makes sense. She has the face of a majestic woodland princess mixed with the energy of your funniest best friend who accidentally trips over air but somehow still looks beautiful doing it. At around 3 years old, Mygena Hyena is truly one of those dogs who just loves being loved. During her assessment, she floated around the room collecting affection from every human possible like she was running for mayor. She met tons of people and acted like every single one was her long-lost family member returning from war. Tail wiggles? Check. Face kisses? MANY. Leaning her entire body weight into you for scratches? Absolutely. This girl believes affection is a full-time job. If you sit down, congratulations, you now have a cuddle buddy. If you stand up, congratulations, you now have a shadow. If you look at her for more than three seconds, she assumes you obviously wanted to kiss her forehead and tell her she’s beautiful. And honestly? She’s correct. One of the cutest things about her is how soft and sweet she is while asking for attention. She’ll gently hop up for love, roll onto her back dramatically for belly rubs, and stare at you with those giant golden eyes like you are personally responsible for making her day magical. It’s impossible not to laugh around her because she has this goofy, lovable, slightly dramatic personality that makes everything more entertaining. Watch Mygena's video here! https://youtu.be/MvDwb5y8LDc?si=uwip4s6MztVamzXU And while she is an Olympic-level snuggler, Mygena Hyena is not just a couch potato. Her foster says one of their favorite things about her is how much she loves adventures and being active. She would be SUCH a fun companion for someone who likes getting out of the house. Walks? Yes. Exploring? Absolutely. Hiking buddy? 100%. Farmers markets, patio hangs, road trips, wandering around town pretending she pays rent there? She would thrive. She has that perfect mix of “let’s go do stuff!” and “okay now let’s cuddle for six straight hours.” On leash, she was easygoing and followed directional changes really nicely with just tiny little guidance. She naturally wanted to stay connected with her people and was very pleasant to walk. When it came to other dogs, Mygena Hyena was honestly hilarious because she was so chill about everybody. She met all kinds of dogs during her assessment (playful puppies, dominant females, energetic dogs, calm dogs) and she handled everything beautifully. Her vibe was basically: “Oh hi.” sniff sniff “Anyway… where are the humans petting me?” She mostly wandered around doing her own thing, occasionally greeting dogs politely before continuing her important business of being adorable. She shared affection from handlers well, tolerated all the dogs she met nicely, and overall was just super easygoing socially. Her foster says she lives with multiple dogs and does great. For very tiny dogs, her foster mentioned she can sometimes play too enthusiastically and may chase smaller active dogs, so dog friends around 20 pounds and up would likely be the best fit for her. During her assessment, she did very well with a calmer small dog and was mostly aloof and polite. Now for the one thing Miss Mygena Hyena says she cannot compromise on: absolutely no cats. Tiny tiger roommates are not for her. As for kiddos, she hasn’t officially been around children yet, but she is incredibly affectionate and loving with every person she meets. We can absolutely kid-test her for interested adopters! She is a sweet girl, but because she sometimes gently jumps up for affection and she’s a bigger gal, we’d want to make sure everyone is a good fit together. Her dream forever home is one where she gets to be included in everyday life. She’s not the kind of dog who wants to sit alone in the background — she wants to be part of the family. She wants to go on adventures, get showered in love, follow you around the house dramatically, supervise snack time, and then curl up next to you afterward like the giant affectionate baby she is. Honestly, Mygena Hyena feels like one of those dogs people talk about forever after adopting: “That’s my soul dog.” “That’s my best friend.” “That’s the little golden-eyed lady who changed my life.” She’s silly, affectionate, adventurous, cuddly, and full of personality. And those gorgeous golden eyes? They look right into your soul like she already knows she belongs with somebody out there. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

**THIS DOG IS NOT IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE CONTACT KOTA'S OWNER DIRECTLY AT kaylahbrown01@gmail.com  THANK YOU** Meet Kota Kota is about 5-ish years old and is looking for a fresh start with the right person or family. He’s a rescue himself, and while we don’t know everything about his past, we do know he’s a loyal, intelligent boy who bonds closely with his people. Kota has primarily been kenneled and will likely need patience and guidance as he adjusts to spending more time out and building confidence in a home environment. He does okay with other dogs when introduced slowly and properly, and he can coexist with cats. He’s also done well with kids and babies, showing a gentle and tolerant side in family settings. Handling? No problem there. Kota does fine with baths and nail trims, which makes grooming much easier. He’s a smart dog and previously received police-related training before being rescued, so he’s very alert and aware of his surroundings.Because of that training, Kota is especially sensitive to certain environments. He does not do well around active drug use or heavy alcohol use and has reacted protectively in a few instances when people under the influence got too close while out walking. For this reason, he would do best in a stable, calm home with a confident, experienced owner who can provide clear structure and avoid those triggers. Kota isn’t a “drop him in any situation” kind of dog — but in the right home, he has the potential to be an incredibly devoted and protective companion. He’s looking for someone who understands that rescue dogs sometimes come with a story… and who’s willing to give him the safe, steady life he deserves. ##2666463##

Tiny tiger roommates are not for her. As for kiddos, she hasn’t officially been around children yet, but she is incredibly affectionate and loving with every person she meets. We can absolutely kid-test her for interested adopters! She is a sweet girl, but because she sometimes gently jumps up for affection and she’s a bigger gal, we’d want to make sure everyone is a good fit together. Her dream forever home is one where she gets to be included in everyday life. She’s not the kind of dog who wants to sit alone in the background — she wants to be part of the family. She wants to go on adventures, get showered in love, follow you around the house dramatically, supervise snack time, and then curl up next to you afterward like the giant affectionate baby she is. Honestly, Mygena Hyena feels like one of those dogs people talk about forever after adopting: “That’s my soul dog.” “That’s my best friend.” “That’s the little golden-eyed lady who changed my life.” She’s silly, affectionate, adventurous, cuddly, and full of personality. And those gorgeous golden eyes? They look right into your soul like she already knows she belongs with somebody out there. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

**THIS DOG IS NOT IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE CONTACT KOTA'S OWNER DIRECTLY AT kaylahbrown01@gmail.com  THANK YOU** Meet Kota Kota is about 5-ish years old and is looking for a fresh start with the right person or family. He’s a rescue himself, and while we don’t know everything about his past, we do know he’s a loyal, intelligent boy who bonds closely with his people. Kota has primarily been kenneled and will likely need patience and guidance as he adjusts to spending more time out and building confidence in a home environment. He does okay with other dogs when introduced slowly and properly, and he can coexist with cats. He’s also done well with kids and babies, showing a gentle and tolerant side in family settings. Handling? No problem there. Kota does fine with baths and nail trims, which makes grooming much easier. He’s a smart dog and previously received police-related training before being rescued, so he’s very alert and aware of his surroundings.Because of that training, Kota is especially sensitive to certain environments. He does not do well around active drug use or heavy alcohol use and has reacted protectively in a few instances when people under the influence got too close while out walking. For this reason, he would do best in a stable, calm home with a confident, experienced owner who can provide clear structure and avoid those triggers. Kota isn’t a “drop him in any situation” kind of dog — but in the right home, he has the potential to be an incredibly devoted and protective companion. He’s looking for someone who understands that rescue dogs sometimes come with a story… and who’s willing to give him the safe, steady life he deserves. ##2666463##

Meet Poppy the blooming beauty who is ready to plant some serious joy in your life! If you’re looking for a partner in crime for every trail and trek, this vibrant girl is ready to grow right alongside you. Poppy is a total firecracker with a heart of gold and a personality that sparkles! She is the definition of "life of the party," greeting every single person she meets like a long lost best friend. Don't let her athletic prowess fool you Poppy is a "Gentle Giant" through and through. Whether she’s giving out enthusiastic hugs or showing off her lightning fast learning skills, Poppy brings an infectious, super fun energy to every room she enters. She’s the kind of dog who makes every day feel like a sunny afternoon in the park. Believe us her moves are something you don’t want to miss, See her zoomies in action! https://youtu.be/Yzc8F6Ou5MA What makes Poppy truly special is her incredible bond with her humans; she is a total velcro dog who just wants to be where the action is! While she has the drive of an adventurer, she is also a world class lounger who loves to hang out on the couch after a day of play. She loves her "private mini room!" Poppy is crate trained and views her space as a cozy sanctuary to relax. She’s been living and playing with smaller dogs (around 17 lbs) and has shown she’s a social butterfly who loves to lick her foster siblings' faces every morning to say "hello." She’s a smart cookie who picks up on house rules in a heartbeat! Poppy knows exactly how to scale down her play to be gentle with small dogs, and she’s a master of the "play bow" to make sure everyone knows she’s a friend, not a foe. She is a dream on a walk and a proud member of the loose leash club. No pulling here just a girl who loves to stroll and take in the sights. No accidents here! She is a pro at keeping her space clean and follows a household routine perfectly. Incredibly smart, perfectly gentle, and always ready for the next ride. She is a loving explorer at heart, always ready to navigate a new hiking trail or scout out the best local coffee shop patio with you by her side. We suspect Poppy is a Belgian Malinois mix, which means she’s got the brains and the beauty! Weighing in at a sleek 45 pounds, she is that perfect medium size big enough to keep up on a run, but compact enough to easily hop in the car for a weekend getaway. Of course, with any rescue, her breed is a bit of a mystery, but her intelligence and stunning coat are 100% pure bred Good Girl. When it comes to other dogs, Poppy is a social superstar! She loves a good game of chase and is a play bow professional. She isn't just a pretty face (though that coat and those perked up ears speak for themselves!). She’s a vocal girl, but not for no reason she just loves to chat and invite her friends to join the party. Great with friends, but is just as happy to be your one and only! She would be happiest in a home with a medium energy dog who can keep up with her fun loving wrestling matches but also knows when it’s time to take a collective nap. Whether she’s sharing her favorite toys, wrestling on the couch, or inviting a buddy to play with one of her signature "are you ready to play" chirps, she is a polite and playful companion who would make an amazing addition to a multi dog household. Poppy thinks she’s the star of the show, so she’s looking for a feline free home! She’d much rather spend her time focusing on her human friends or playing "tag" with her canine buddies than worrying about what a kitty is up to. To keep everyone happy and wagging, she’s sticking to a cat free lifestyle where she can be her best, bouncy self. The ideal home for Poppy is one that matches her zest for life! Because she’s a brilliant working breed mix, she’d love an active adopter who enjoys training or outdoor adventures. She would adore a house with a yard to zoom in, but she could also be a rockstar apartment dog for a active person who treats the city as their playground. Something cute about her? She’s a talker with her paws she’ll invite you to play with the most adorable little dances! In Short: Poppy is Perfection! She is a brilliant, affectionate, and adventurous soul who is just waiting for the right person to lead the way. She’s also a bit of a home decorator when she’s feeling playful on the couch, she loves to rearrange the pillows to get her setup just right. It’s just one of the many quirky ways she brings joy and laughter to her foster home every day. She’s got the brains of a scholar and the heart of a puppy, making her the ultimate companion for a life lived out loud.

Pauly D is the kind of dog that walks into a room like he already knows he’s about to become everyone’s favorite. He’s got this larger-than-life personality that instantly pulls people in, equal parts charming, goofy, affectionate, and wildly entertaining. One minute he’s making you laugh with his playful antics and dramatic expressions, the next he’s leaning into you for affection like you’re the most important person in the world. He has that rare combination of confident social butterfly energy mixed with genuinely sweet, loyal companionship, and it makes him ridiculously easy to love. There’s just something about Pauly D that makes life feel more fun. Maybe it’s the happy-go-lucky attitude, the constant enthusiasm for being included in literally anything, or the way he carries himself like the cool guy at the party while still being a total cuddle bug underneath it all. Whatever it is, this boy has the kind of feel-good personality that people remember long after meeting him. Watch his video and fall in love with his fun loving personality: https://youtu.be/orh3OHuMY1s?si=MtJkFO4Bolwi7vyi Pauly D is believed to be a German Shepherd mix approximately 1 year old and currently weighs 56 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Pauly D is a total people guy. The kind of dog that sees a human and immediately assumes you’re there to admire him, hype him up, and hand over affection and honestly, he’s usually right. He happily strolls up to say hello, leans into pets like he’s known you forever, and has absolutely no issue making himself comfortable right beside you for cuddles. Butt scratches? Elite. Couch time? Sign him up immediately. Hugs, attention, being involved in literally anything you’re doing? That’s his love language. Pauly D has this social, outgoing personality that makes him the type of dog who would thrive in a home that likes having friends over because in his mind, strangers are just future fans. Recently, Pauly D went on a day of adventures that included a café outing, a trip to Pet Supplies Plus, a bath, and plenty of opportunities to show us exactly who he is out in public. The verdict? Pauly D is genuinely a lover boy with some really impressive manners. At the café there were adults, children, other dogs, food, and plenty of activity happening around him. Pauly D was happy to simply relax at the table and enjoy being included. He paid very little attention to the dogs around him and mostly ignored the people passing by as well. In fact, one of our favorite moments happened when we invited him into a lap while someone was eating a muffin. If you've ever owned a dog, you know that's a pretty good test of manners. Pauly D passed with flying colors. He didn't try to steal a bite, beg for food, or sneak a taste. He simply sat there smiling, perfectly content being close to his person. The adventures continued at Pet Supplies Plus where Pauly D once again showed us what a nice dog he is to take out in public. He was curious about all the sights, smells, toys, treats, and people around him, but he never tried pulling toward dogs or strangers. He politely sniffed items as we walked by without trying to grab anything for himself. Even bath time, which he seemed a little unsure about initially, ended up being a success because of how much he trusted the people handling him. By the end, he was all smiles, especially when it came time to be dried off with a towel. Apparently being wrapped up and fussed over is one of his favorite things. Pauly D is also an excellent passenger in the car. He loves being close to his people and would happily choose the seat right next to you every time, but he settles nicely and simply enjoys being part of whatever adventure the day has in store. More than anything, this outing reminded us that while Pauly D absolutely loves fun, his favorite thing in the world is simply being included. And when it comes to fun? Pauly D is READY. Toys are a huge hit with him and he fully commits to playtime. Stuffies, balls, tug toys, chew toys… if it looks entertaining, he’s in. He’ll happily play fetch, bounce around the yard showing off, or entertain himself with goofy zoomies when he gets excited. He has that fun-loving, upbeat energy that keeps life entertaining, but he’s also got a great off switch and can absolutely appreciate a solid couch crash after he’s gotten his playtime in. Pauly D is dog friendly and has been in multiple playgroups. He brings big VIP-section energy into a playgroup and walks around like everybody already knows who he is. It’s honestly hilarious. Pauly D is social, confident, playful, and very much the guy that wants to make the rounds, stir up some fun, and keep the party going. Some of his best dog friends are playful, confident females that enjoy chase games, don’t mind a little rowdy “bro” energy, and know how to match his fun without taking things too seriously. He especially thrives with goofy, easygoing girls that can play hard for a bit and then naturally settle down for a break after. In a home, Pauly D would likely do best paired with a fun-loving, socially savvy female dog that enjoys an active, playful dynamic and can appreciate his outgoing personality. He would also do great as you're one-and-only because honestly… Pauly D already carries himself like the main character. He’s the type of dog that naturally becomes the center of attention everywhere he goes and he would absolutely love soaking up all the love, adventures, compliments, and couch time for himself. As far as kitties go, Pauly D would do best in a kitty-free home. Want to know what would make Pauly D truly living-his-best-life levels of happy? A home with a nice backyard to show off in, humans who enjoy being active and involved with him, and people who appreciate a dog with personality for days. Pauly D would thrive with a confident adopter that enjoys walks, adventures, continued training, and having a dog that actually wants to be part of everything you’re doing. He’s not the type that wants to sit quietly in the background while life happens around him. He wants IN on the fun. A yard for zoomies, a couch for dramatic lounging sessions, and humans who love affection, laughter, and a little daily chaos in the best way would basically be his dream setup. Pauly D has that loyal sidekick personality where he naturally wants to be near his people, involved in the action, and soaking up attention whenever possible. The more included he is in your day-to-day life, the happier this boy will be. And honestly? The more time you have to spoil him and tell him how handsome he is, the more he’ll absolutely eat it up. Pauly D has been around children as young as 5 and was respectful and appropriate with them, but he did seem a little unsure of the younger kid energy. Because of that, we think Pauly D would thrive most in a home with kids around 8 and up that can better understand his space, read his cues, and enjoy his playful, outgoing personality without overwhelming him. He’s a social, fun-loving guy that wants to be included in family life, but he also appreciates a little more predictability and calmness than the average tiny-child tornado tends to bring. Older kids that want a goofy sidekick for walks, hanging out in the yard, movie nights, and everyday adventures would likely be right up Pauly D’s alley. We are willing to test Pauly D with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

One of the very first things I noticed about Stormy Belle is how beautiful she is. I mean she has one of the most majestic looking black coats with a fluffy gray undercoat I've ever seen and has the prettiest golden brown eyes that you get lost in every time. Not only is striking beautiful but Stormy Belle is the definition of a soul dog. you know, the type of dog that comes into your life that feels less like a pet a more like a piece of your heart walking around on four legs. If you know, then you know exactly what were are talking about and if you don't, then sign that dotted line and bring Stormy home! Watch her video and you'll fall in love just like we did: https://youtu.be/MMyGq2yAKlE?si=CfX52e9xmqGiPWFD Stormy Belle is a believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 5.5 years old and around 64lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Stormy can be a little shy at first when meeting new people and but trust me when I say it does not take long for her to turn into your little shadow and lover girl. One of the ways to her heart is through a tennis ball, treats, or belly rubs (when she's ready). The second you give her a tennis ball, it's game over and her heart has been captured. You'll see her instantly turn into a puppy, catching balls in the air like she's airbud and she just instantly lights up. Once she's comfortable she is such a goofy and silly girl. She will let you give her belly rubs for days. Stormy would do best in a home with a fenced backyard in the suburbs rather than in the city with all the hustle and bustle. She loves to entertain herself inside and outside, but outside is her fave. Her initial shyness can also be seen when she is in new places she has never been before, but she warms up quickly. The thing about Stormy though is that she wants to explore, she wants to do all these things, she just takes things a little more cautiously and let me tell you, she is loving learning about it all! Stormy is also dog friendly and has done well with all of the dogs we have introduced her to, she takes her time warming up to them. She has been around dogs her size and even dogs so small they can fit into your purse. She is a gentle lady around them all, especially the little guys. There is something about the little ones that she seems to relate to the most and feels most comfortable with in a home. Stormy isn't very playful with other dogs either, she is more of the roamer type and just likes to hangout and enjoy the fresh air and company, or play with her toys. If you don't have other dogs, that's fine too! She doesn't need the company of another dog to help her feel comfortable or to satisfy her energy needs. She also would love the extra attention. She nose nudges you when she wants pets or if she isn't done getting them, she has no shame (I don't blame her)! Stormy loves treats and loves to learn to new things. When you have those two things combined with how smart Stormy is, you find yourself working with a gal that is easy to train! She already knows how to sit, the down position, seems to understand the "touch" command, and already has a pretty good recall already. She walks well on a leash and is crate trained and potty trained. From what we have seen so far, Stormy also has great house manners and never really gets into things she shouldn't be, except for the trash occasionally (old habits die hard, amirite?), but she responds to correction immediately. She would actually be a great companion if you're someone who works from home because she is quiet and she isn't the type that is going to be constantly bugging you for attention. Not to say that she doesn't love attention because she does, she just isn't a needy gal in those regards. Stormy is a gentle gal who has spent plenty of time around younger children, even as young as 4 years old, and does great with them. She is respectful around young children and loves when they give her treats or play ball with her! She the best at catching balls in the air as we all know. She also allowed a 7 year old to lead her around a party of people in a front yard on a leash like a pro! She is just that gentle and go with the flow. While she’s good-natured and tolerant of the occasional squeal or quick movements from younger children, we believe she would prefer the company of older kids. Older children, around 10 and up are more in tune with her boundaries, they understand when she needs space and can respect her need for a little calm time. Her preference for older children also reflects her love for a calmer, more laidback home environment. We are willing to test Stormy Belle with anything you need to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

We proudly have over 17,000 successful adoptions and excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process. At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress! We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet. It doesn’t stop there!
