Story
The first thing you'll notice about Shasha Honey is her smile. The second thing you'll notice is that she fully expects belly rubs to follow. This girl has perfected the art of dramatically flopping over and presenting her belly as if she's been waiting all day for you to admire her. Between her goofy personality, her love of people, and her ability to make friends wherever she goes, Shasha has a way of making every day a little brighter. She's the type of dog who can spend the afternoon wrestling with her dog friends, hop in the car for an adventure, and then happily curl up beside you for a nap when the day is done. Watch her video and prepare to fall for that adorable smile: https://youtu.be/gmLZ29luitk?si=W98zFOF6X3GFyfLv Shasha Honey is approximately 4 years old, weighs around 50 lbs, and we believe she may be a German Shepherd mix. With rescue it's always a mystery, and we can never guarantee breed or age. One of our favorite things about Shasha is just how versatile she is. She can be playful, goofy, adventurous, cuddly, and relaxed all in the same day. Her foster describes her as calm but quirky, and honestly, that's the perfect description. She has a wonderful balance of energy where she's always up for fun but also knows how to settle down and relax when it's time. Shasha is currently fostered with several other dogs and has done wonderfully with all of them. She especially loves playing with her younger Rottweiler mix foster sibling. The two spend their days wrestling, rolling around in the grass, chasing each other through the yard, and taking turns pouncing on one another in the most entertaining way possible. She's also lived successfully with older dogs who aren't interested in constant play and has shown that she can adjust her energy to match the dog she's spending time with. We think she would absolutely love a playful canine companion in her forever home. Shasha has also met a cat. While she initially showed some curiosity and wanted to investigate, her foster didn't feel it came from a bad place. She appeared more interested than anything else, and with proper introductions and management, she may do well in a home with feline friends. She has also been around a 6-year-old child and absolutely adores him. The two spend tons of time together, and Shasha has proven herself to be gentle, affectionate, and incredibly loving. Her foster specifically noted what a cuddle bug she is with their son, and it's easy to see why she would make such a wonderful family dog. If you're looking for a dog that can be both a best friend and a family companion, Shasha checks a lot of boxes. When it comes to training, Shasha is both crate trained and potty trained. She sleeps quietly in her crate at night, spends time crated during normal work hours, and even eats her meals in her crate. In fact, her foster believes her crate may actually be a comfort space for her because she seems to genuinely enjoy having it available. She's also learned how to sit and wait patiently for food and continues to impress her foster with how eager she is to learn. Shasha is a big fan of car rides and is always excited to see where the road leads. She enjoys looking out the window, happily rides along, and seems perfectly content accompanying her people on adventures. Whether it's a trip to the park, a scenic drive, or running errands around town, Shasha is ready to be your co-pilot. Her energy level is another thing we love about her. She can spend hours playing and zooming around with her dog friends, but she's just as happy to plop down for a long nap afterward. She doesn't need constant entertainment and isn't bouncing off the walls. Instead, she has that wonderful middle-ground personality that makes her adaptable to so many different lifestyles. As for her ideal home, we think Shasha would thrive in a home with a yard where she can stretch her legs, play with a dog friend, enjoy some zoomies, and soak up the sunshine. She truly seems like the type of dog who can fit into almost any loving home. Her foster summed it up perfectly when they said, "Shasha is a light. She would fit in absolutely anywhere." If you're looking for a dog with a giant smile, a goofy personality, a soft heart, and a never-ending supply of belly rub requests, Shasha might just be your perfect match. We are willing to test Shasha Honey 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?

Story
**currently being fostered in WA and ready for meet and greets!** This cutie is Cheerio Cereal. She is around 6 months old, and while we think she may be a German Shepherd mix, with rescue it is always a guess. What we do know for sure is that she is an incredibly sweet, social, and adaptable puppy who has been thriving in her foster home. Cheerio is playful, curious, and cuddly, with a lovely balance of puppy energy and an off switch. She enjoys hiking adventures with her foster and would make a great little outdoor buddy, but she is just as happy settling in for naps and cuddle time. She is crate trained and does very well with routine, which has been a great foundation for her continued training. One of the most special things about Cheerio is how social and gentle she is. She regularly visits a senior home with her foster, where she happily greets new people and soaks up the attention. She is friendly with both big and small dogs and is especially impressive with tiny pups. Cheerio regularly plays with a 5 lb dog and does an amazing job adjusting her play style to match her tiny friend, showing just how thoughtful and kind she is. Watch Cheerio’s playful personality here: https://youtu.be/WqW3Kxl6uvw?si=J27d65pd7hMvGmWO Cheerio is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. If you are looking for a sweet, social puppy who can be both a hiking buddy and a gentle companion, Cheerio might be the perfect fit. Expect plenty of kisses and love from your new best friend.

Story
Meet Susu Sunshine, a total sweetheart with the most beautiful big brown eyes, adorable floppy shepherd ears, and a smile that can brighten even the cloudiest day. One look at this gorgeous girl and it’s impossible not to fall in love. She has a gentle, loving presence and a way of looking at you that makes you feel like the most important person in the world. We think this gorgeous girl is around 2 years old and possibly a Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix, but what we know for sure is that she is absolutely obsessed with her people. If you’re looking for a dog who wants to be your best friend, adventure buddy, cuddle partner, and biggest fan all rolled into one, Susu Sunshine might just be your perfect match. Watch her video here!! https://youtu.be/zcGEPt6lYLQ?si=LARJ_s1A1xdc6kwK This sweet girl lives for affection. Booty scratches? Amazing. Belly rubs? Even better. Kind words and attention? She’s all in. She’ll happily wander over and politely ask for love, then melt right into your hands with the sweetest smile. She met a teenager and was completely smitten, soaking up every bit of affection she could get. Susu Sunshine is also one smart cookie. She already knows sit and down, is very treat motivated, and loves learning. She walks beautifully on leash, rarely pulls, and has not shown leash reactivity, making her a wonderful companion for neighborhood walks, trips to the park, farmers markets, or outdoor adventures. While she enjoys being around other dogs, she’s not looking for a chaotic puppy party. Susu Sunshine prefers respectful canine friends and does best with calm, playful male dogs who understand personal space. She’ll absolutely let another dog know if they’re being too pushy, but she’s very fair and appropriate with her corrections. Once a dog backs off, she’s ready to move on. She’s shown some adorable play bows, zoomies, and curiosity toward dog friends, but she’s just as happy focusing on her humans. Because she’s so people-oriented, she’d also be perfectly content as your one and only dog. This beautiful girl would thrive with an active family who enjoys hiking, exploring, camping, road trips, or simply including their dog in everyday life. She could even do well in an apartment as long as she receives the exercise, enrichment, and quality time she craves. Susu Sunshine has all the ingredients of an incredible companion: intelligence, loyalty, affection, good manners, and just enough goofy sweetness to keep you smiling every day. She’s ready to find the family she’s been waiting for and love them with her whole heart. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

If you’re looking for the total package, we’d like to introduce you to Bailey. Bailey is a gorgeous shepherd mix around 5 years old and about 60 pounds, though she carries herself with such grace and manners that she somehow feels smaller. With her soulful brown eyes, sweet personality, and easygoing nature, she’s the kind of dog who wins hearts everywhere she goes. Bailey is a friend to all! Dogs, kids, cats, people, toys, water, all things, animals, and people are welcome! Watch her video here to see just how wonderful she is!! Bailey | The Brown-Eyed Girl of Your Dreams https://youtu.be/mXIS-YrBLNU This girl absolutely LOVES other dogs. Playful dogs? Perfect. Wrestling buddies? Amazing. Chase games? Her favorite. Bailey is incredibly social and has wonderful dog manners, happily making friends wherever she goes. While she can thrive as an only dog, she’d be over the moon to have canine siblings to play and adventure with. Bailey also did wonderfully with cats. She politely sniffed them, decided they weren’t particularly interesting, and went right back to minding her own business. Even when meeting a spicier kitty who wasn’t thrilled about the introduction, Bailey simply avoided conflict and gave the cat space. She’s the definition of “live and let live.” One of our favorite things about Bailey is how smart she is. She already knows sit, down, shake, and is crate trained. She enjoys enrichment puzzles, learning new things, and being included in whatever her people are doing. And if you’re an outdoorsy person? Bailey may be your soulmate. Walks? Yes please. Swimming? Absolutely. Exploring new places? Sign her up. Adventure? That’s her middle name. But don’t worry—she’s not all action. Bailey has an incredibly sweet and affectionate side too. She’ll do the cutest little plop beside you for attention, lean her whole body into you for pets, offer her paw when she wants more love, and happily roll over for belly rubs. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, swimming partner, dog park bestie, or couch companion after a long day, Bailey is ready for the job. Beautiful, smart, dog-friendly, cat-friendly, adventurous, and loving, Bailey truly is the kind of dog people spend years searching for. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
