Story
Zennia is a social, affectionate girl with a big heart for people, play, and being included, especially if it means you're getting in the car! She loves car rides so much that when you walk toward a car, her whole body wiggles because she thinks it’s load-up-and-go time. This girl is confident and unbothered in the best possible way. Want to see Zennia in action? Head to YouTube https://youtu.be/g3B0YWMizPw Zennia is so fortunate and has been living in a loving foster home which she waits for her forever family. This means her foster family has had a front-row seat to the Zennia show and they shared with us so much of what they have learned about her! The first thing is the best! When asked what would make Zennia the happiest in a forever home they enthusiastically said- “A yard and a playmate!” Zennia is a wonderful playmate and truly thrives with the opportunity to run and roughhouse with a playful dog daily. The other side of that is that once Zennia has had her run/play/chase time she is more than happy to come in and relax but she needs that outlet, so a home with a playful dog friend and a big yard where she can get her energy out would be a great fit. In Zennia is both house and crate trained and benefits from regular crating. Her crate is clearly a space of calm and she enjoys the permission to “turn-off”and truly relax. In the crate she is quiet, calm, no barking, and no accidents. When Zennia isn’t getting constant attention (like during work hours), she is able to self-regulate usually taking a nap or quietly hanging out with a stuffy in her mouth. Zennia has met and lived with a wide variety of dogs from older, dominant females to small scruffy easy-going guy. Her immediate love connections have all been with dogs that equally enjoy play and are unbothered by a little rough-and-rowdy play. Her two best playdate-pals are about her size, one goofy black lab male and a female pittie with a body-builders physique. Both she runs and wrestles with, taking breaks here and there to soak in the sun before returning to a game of chase or wrestling in the grass. Zennia has shown really lovely dog-social-skills. She is respectful of boundaries, accepts even frustrated corrections, and has shown she can share treats, toys, and affection without concern. When she is working in a group for a treat she does this hilarious thing where she paws at other dogs who aren’t doing their commands, like she’s saying, “Hurry up, dude!” It makes her foster laugh every time! Zennia has been around kids in the home ages 4-17 (including a 17-year-old with Down syndrome/autism) and she is great! A few times we could see that when kids were invited over, Zennia was fast- friends with the kids- truly gravitating to them for play and connection. In the home, she has been the kind of dog who wants to meet everyone, love everyone, and recruit every dog into her “let’s play right now” agenda. She is quiet when people arrive, no barking at the door, no barking when people come in, whether she’s met them before or not. Zennia loves meeting people and seems especially fond of men. In general, she has warmed up quickly to new adults and kids who have been introduced to her and she really shines when she gets time to meet and bond with people, loving baby talk and treats. One of Zennia’s funniest quirks is her kitchen manners, because she knows she’s not supposed to cross the kitchen line… but she’ll sit right at the edge with her head peeking in like an eager little sous chef. If she can sneak in, she will try, and yes, she will beg, but she does not jump on tables or snatch food out of anyone’s hands, even with kids running around with food in hand. Zennia has been confident and unbothered by the world around her. No fear of cars, no reactivity to people and she handls normal outside noises plus things like an electric scooter without issue. She walks easily on leash with minimal corrections needed. Zennia has lived with chickens and although she can live with them if they are enclosed, she cannot be unsupervised around chickens because she will pester and stalk them, and even if she doesn’t see them, the sound of them gets her excited. Zennia will also benefit from a cat-free home, her love of chase and play does not stop when it comes to feline friends and we all know, cats do not appreciate that. If you’re looking for a dog who loves people, loves playtime,, rides shot-gun like a champ, and just needs the right combo of structure and outlets to settle into her best self, Zennia is ready and waiting to come home!

Story
If you know and love Malinois mixes, you already know what makes them so special- it’s their intelligence, devotion, and unstoppable drive to bond deeply with their person. Wendy here embodies all of that and more. Take a look at her here then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/XY_xeGiaC4Q Estimated to be about 2½-years-old, Wendy weighs 55-pounds fully-grown, and we believe she is a Malinois mix but given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or birthday. She is also stunning with a soft coat of mixed brown and black fur, a set of amazingly alert ears, and the warmest eyes that just land with connection. Wendy has a dedicated foster who has spent time and energy into ensuring Wendy is best prepared for life in her future home. It didn’t take long for her to show everyone just how much love, joy, and loyalty she has to give. She lives peacefully with three other dogs -two females and one male - and plays happily with them every day. At home, she’s cuddly and affectionate, the kind of dog who leans into you for pets and nudges your hand when she wants more. She’s also well-trained and wonderful on leash - walking politely at your side, calm and focused. Wendy even completed two months of professional training (circle back to her dedicated foster), which helped her master basic manners and develop her natural intelligence. Like many working breeds, she thrives with structure, exercise, and mental enrichment. Daily walks, a good run, or a game of fetch will keep her happiest -she’s athletic, agile, and loves having a purpose. Outside of the home, Wendy can feel unsure in new environments. Me too Wendy. My solution is to just keep it simple- it works like a charm. If you are looking for her to be your tag-along pal please know it is not part of her natural demeanor but she can learn. She’ll need a confident, experienced adopter who understands how to help a Malinois mix build trust and decompress in a new home. Once she bonds with you, she’ll be your shadow, your biggest fan, and your most loyal protector. Because of her strong bond with her people, she may have a little separation anxiety at first, hello to most any and all shepherd mixes- they miss their people, but with patience, routine, and reassurance, we do know she settles in beautifully. Wendy does best with the company of other dogs and would love to be the +1 to another medium-energy dog. Not only does it give her a much appreciated playmate but it helps her confidence when initially settling into a new space and routine. She did meet our house cat and was respectfully cautious but we are recommending a cat-free home currently based on her foster sharing she has tried to chase a street cat. If you are interested in Maggie and have cats we are happy to do a much more thorough cat-test to truly determine her limit. She’s wonderful with other dogs and adores her humans, including her foster family’s gentle 4 year old nephew. She likes him! Wendy is a truly special girl- affectionate, intuitive, intelligent, and loyal to the core. With someone who values her tender heart as much as her strength, she’s going to be extraordinary!

Story
Super sweet Astra has the most tender, soulful little personality. She’s the quiet observer of the group — thoughtful, gentle, and incredibly loving once she feels safe. Astra may take a moment to warm up, but when she does, she leans into pets like she’s been waiting her whole life for them. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/RotjRf4l6pQ?si=hOFnLBgnNWvjv6f4 She loves to play with her siblings and enjoys her toys, but she’s not wild or overwhelming. She has a calm presence about her that feels comforting. Astra would thrive in a patient, loving home that will continue showing her that the world is kind. At around four months old, this Shepherd/Lab mix is still discovering everything for the first time. New sounds and new experiences can make her a little nervous, but she’s learning every single day. With encouragement and love, she will absolutely blossom into the most loyal, devoted companion. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who bonds deeply and loves quietly but wholeheartedly, Astra is waiting to meet you. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69768a004d2d4c6af2078630 Questions?

Story
From the moment you meet Lentil Lou, one thing becomes very clear...life is simply more fun with her in it. This sweet, goofy girl has the joyful spirit of an oversized shepherd puppy, paired with a heart that seems to have endless love to give. Lentil Lou is incredibly social and greets the world with pure happiness, always ready to make a new friend whether they have two legs or four. She absolutely adores other dogs and lights up during playtime, bouncing around with playful enthusiasm and charming silliness that’s impossible not to smile at. Equal parts cuddly sweetheart and playful goofball, Lentil Lou brings laughter, affection, and nonstop cuteness wherever she goes. If you’ve been looking for a dog who will fill your days with fun, companionship, and a whole lot of love, Lentil Lou might just be your perfect match. Watch her video and you'll be smitten by her: https://youtu.be/xErEmx2U-Is?si=fBol9-3XA2TNA5Ej Lentil Lou is believed to be a German Shepherd mix approximately 1 year 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. We do know that Lentil is as sweet as they come, and to add to her greatness, she is essentially a full-grown puppy with that adorable puppy face of hers. This little lady loves to love and adores every person she meets. The term stranger danger does not exist in her vocabulary. She is the definition of a social butterfly, and with her, you’ll have a bestie to explore with, a snuggly princess to binge-watch your favorite shows with, and the sole reason your camera roll will always be full. She has been around kids and has been nothing but gentle around young kids. We do believe that she would be happiest in a home with kids 12 and older. Lentil is very dog friendly and loves to make friends with other dogs. She has been around dogs with all different temperaments, from large dominant males to submissive quiet ladies, and her personal favorite… the playful party pups. Lentil loves to play with other dogs and has the best time romping around, wrestling, playing chase, sharing toys, and also enjoys simply hanging out. She’s not all about bringing the party vibes all the time; she appreciates downtime and relaxing at home with her new friends as well. Lentil would do great in a home with another playful dog like herself but can also be your one and only. She does not need the company of another dog to feel comfortable or open up. Lentil is a social butterfly by nature and would love to be the center of your world. Lentil is a smart gal too! She brings the brains to every training session. She is very treat motivated and eager to please. She already knows how to sit, and you can tell she is ready to learn it all just by the way she engages with her person. It’s actually pretty cute how much she wants to make you happy. You’ll see it in her video if you haven’t already. She walks fairly nicely on a leash and may pull occasionally out of excitement to go sniff something interesting or say hello to a friendly face. It’s easy to regain her focus, and she responds well to gentle reminders. Lentil is also comfortable tandem walking with other dogs. She is crate trained and potty trained too! With patience, consistency, and of course treats, training with Lentil will be a fun and rewarding bonding experience for you both. Lentil would thrive in a home with a semi-active family that enjoys neighborhood walks and is looking for a super affectionate girl. If you’re someone who loves to host and have people over, Lentil will be the very first one to greet your guests. Not feeling especially social one day? That’s perfectly fine by Lentil, she’ll be happiest wherever you are. She would also make an amazing adventure buddy! Take her to the park, explore nature trails, go on outings, visit your local brewery or beach, and watch her win hearts and gather adoring fans everywhere she goes. We believe Lentil would thrive in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs, soak up the sunshine, and happily meander alongside you while you garden or work around the yard. We are willing to test Lentil Lou 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?

Watch his video and fall in love with this sweet boy: https://youtu.be/ajZy2JOkRrw?si=SuyuCzdNV99fOIl2 Kaiser Cruz is believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 7 years old and currently weighs 64 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue it's always a mystery, and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Kaiser is the perfect combination of affection while also being independent. He's not overly needy with his love nor does he ever over do it. If you're someone that works from home, he'll be a great work from home buddy because he's not going to be constantly begging you for attention or getting into things he shouldn't be (he has wonderful house manners I might add). He's the type that will come up to you when the time is right for a little ear/nose scratch almost as if he knew you needed a 5 min break from work. As for the rest of the time, he's a window watcher and loves looking out windows or he'll be playing with a toy. While Kaiser waits for his forever family, he is being spoiled by his foster family and they absolutely adore him and rave about him. He is currently fostered in a home with kids ages 4 and 8 years old, and Kaiser has been nothing but sweet perfection around the kids in his foster home. They have the best time playing together, snuggling, and he loves being a part of a family dynamic. Kaiser is very tolerant with all of the kids in the home and just loves them to pieces. He has no issues when the kids are playing with his toys, running around, and is frequently found giving them the gentlest kisses. It's the sweetest thing! If you have kids and are looking for a bestie for your kiddos, Kaiser is definitely your guy. Not only is Kaiser great with kids, he is also very dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced him to and is also fostered in a home with an 8 month old playful pittie mix. Kaiser has been around dogs all with different personalities and has done great with every single one. Kaiser is wonderful about meeting new dogs and will either play with them or will go off and do his own thing. That's what is so great about him, the way he is able to adapt to the dogs around him. He can run around, have a good time and he also just as happy going off and doing his own thing while the other dogs are being wild. Kaiser is more about exploring and doing his own thing rather than playing with other dogs. Though when Kaiser does play, he plays like a total shepherd. If you know shepherds or have ever owned one, then you know they love mouthy air play, will give nose boops where they see fit LOL, and use their paws like they are professional boxers at times all while keeping things lighthearted and fun. Shepherd play is definitely entertaining to say the least. Kaiser would love to have a dog sibling in the home, but if you don't have one, that's okay too. He does not need the company of another dog to satisfy his energy needs or to help him open up. Kaiser would love to be in a home with a backyard where he can sunbathe anytime he wants, roll in the grass, and explore all the fun smells. He would make a great companion while you garden and relax on the patio enjoying the fresh air. He’ll enjoy going on neighborhood walks, mini adventures and then will happily lay next to you for cozy time. Kaiser is such a good boy, a 10/10! Now, he just needs a family to call his own. We are willing to test Kaiser Cruz 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
*Now fostered in Puyallup, WA* This cutie is Sprinkles! She is currently living with 2 young children and adult male and female dogs. What stands out about Sprinkles is how cuddly she is! She loves napping on her people. She is currently 4 months old. We think they may be a Shepherd and Australian Kelpie mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Aespa’s playful personality here: https://youtu.be/2cHA_oBaHyo?si=j9794FKRMZ3HS180 Aespa is playful, sweet, curious, and loves to be a lap dog. She loves to play with her dog friends and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Aespa 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. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Zennia is a social, affectionate girl with a big heart for people, play, and being included, especially if it means you're getting in the car! She loves car rides so much that when you walk toward a car, her whole body wiggles because she thinks it’s load-up-and-go time. This girl is confident and unbothered in the best possible way. Want to see Zennia in action? Head to YouTube https://youtu.be/g3B0YWMizPw Zennia is so fortunate and has been living in a loving foster home which she waits for her forever family. This means her foster family has had a front-row seat to the Zennia show and they shared with us so much of what they have learned about her! The first thing is the best! When asked what would make Zennia the happiest in a forever home they enthusiastically said- “A yard and a playmate!” Zennia is a wonderful playmate and truly thrives with the opportunity to run and roughhouse with a playful dog daily. The other side of that is that once Zennia has had her run/play/chase time she is more than happy to come in and relax but she needs that outlet, so a home with a playful dog friend and a big yard where she can get her energy out would be a great fit. In Zennia is both house and crate trained and benefits from regular crating. Her crate is clearly a space of calm and she enjoys the permission to “turn-off”and truly relax. In the crate she is quiet, calm, no barking, and no accidents. When Zennia isn’t getting constant attention (like during work hours), she is able to self-regulate usually taking a nap or quietly hanging out with a stuffy in her mouth. Zennia has met and lived with a wide variety of dogs from older, dominant females to small scruffy easy-going guy. Her immediate love connections have all been with dogs that equally enjoy play and are unbothered by a little rough-and-rowdy play. Her two best playdate-pals are about her size, one goofy black lab male and a female pittie with a body-builders physique. Both she runs and wrestles with, taking breaks here and there to soak in the sun before returning to a game of chase or wrestling in the grass. Zennia has shown really lovely dog-social-skills. She is respectful of boundaries, accepts even frustrated corrections, and has shown she can share treats, toys, and affection without concern. When she is working in a group for a treat she does this hilarious thing where she paws at other dogs who aren’t doing their commands, like she’s saying, “Hurry up, dude!” It makes her foster laugh every time! Zennia has been around kids in the home ages 4-17 (including a 17-year-old with Down syndrome/autism) and she is great! A few times we could see that when kids were invited over, Zennia was fast- friends with the kids- truly gravitating to them for play and connection. In the home, she has been the kind of dog who wants to meet everyone, love everyone, and recruit every dog into her “let’s play right now” agenda. She is quiet when people arrive, no barking at the door, no barking when people come in, whether she’s met them before or not. Zennia loves meeting people and seems especially fond of men. In general, she has warmed up quickly to new adults and kids who have been introduced to her and she really shines when she gets time to meet and bond with people, loving baby talk and treats. One of Zennia’s funniest quirks is her kitchen manners, because she knows she’s not supposed to cross the kitchen line… but she’ll sit right at the edge with her head peeking in like an eager little sous chef. If she can sneak in, she will try, and yes, she will beg, but she does not jump on tables or snatch food out of anyone’s hands, even with kids running around with food in hand. Zennia has been confident and unbothered by the world around her. No fear of cars, no reactivity to people and she handls normal outside noises plus things like an electric scooter without issue. She walks easily on leash with minimal corrections needed. Zennia has lived with chickens and although she can live with them if they are enclosed, she cannot be unsupervised around chickens because she will pester and stalk them, and even if she doesn’t see them, the sound of them gets her excited. Zennia will also benefit from a cat-free home, her love of chase and play does not stop when it comes to feline friends and we all know, cats do not appreciate that. If you’re looking for a dog who loves people, loves playtime,, rides shot-gun like a champ, and just needs the right combo of structure and outlets to settle into her best self, Zennia is ready and waiting to come home!

Story
If you know and love Malinois mixes, you already know what makes them so special- it’s their intelligence, devotion, and unstoppable drive to bond deeply with their person. Wendy here embodies all of that and more. Take a look at her here then come back to read more- https://youtu.be/XY_xeGiaC4Q Estimated to be about 2½-years-old, Wendy weighs 55-pounds fully-grown, and we believe she is a Malinois mix but given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or birthday. She is also stunning with a soft coat of mixed brown and black fur, a set of amazingly alert ears, and the warmest eyes that just land with connection. Wendy has a dedicated foster who has spent time and energy into ensuring Wendy is best prepared for life in her future home. It didn’t take long for her to show everyone just how much love, joy, and loyalty she has to give. She lives peacefully with three other dogs -two females and one male - and plays happily with them every day. At home, she’s cuddly and affectionate, the kind of dog who leans into you for pets and nudges your hand when she wants more. She’s also well-trained and wonderful on leash - walking politely at your side, calm and focused. Wendy even completed two months of professional training (circle back to her dedicated foster), which helped her master basic manners and develop her natural intelligence. Like many working breeds, she thrives with structure, exercise, and mental enrichment. Daily walks, a good run, or a game of fetch will keep her happiest -she’s athletic, agile, and loves having a purpose. Outside of the home, Wendy can feel unsure in new environments. Me too Wendy. My solution is to just keep it simple- it works like a charm. If you are looking for her to be your tag-along pal please know it is not part of her natural demeanor but she can learn. She’ll need a confident, experienced adopter who understands how to help a Malinois mix build trust and decompress in a new home. Once she bonds with you, she’ll be your shadow, your biggest fan, and your most loyal protector. Because of her strong bond with her people, she may have a little separation anxiety at first, hello to most any and all shepherd mixes- they miss their people, but with patience, routine, and reassurance, we do know she settles in beautifully. Wendy does best with the company of other dogs and would love to be the +1 to another medium-energy dog. Not only does it give her a much appreciated playmate but it helps her confidence when initially settling into a new space and routine. She did meet our house cat and was respectfully cautious but we are recommending a cat-free home currently based on her foster sharing she has tried to chase a street cat. If you are interested in Maggie and have cats we are happy to do a much more thorough cat-test to truly determine her limit. She’s wonderful with other dogs and adores her humans, including her foster family’s gentle 4 year old nephew. She likes him! Wendy is a truly special girl- affectionate, intuitive, intelligent, and loyal to the core. With someone who values her tender heart as much as her strength, she’s going to be extraordinary!

Super sweet Astra has the most tender, soulful little personality. She’s the quiet observer of the group — thoughtful, gentle, and incredibly loving once she feels safe. Astra may take a moment to warm up, but when she does, she leans into pets like she’s been waiting her whole life for them. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/RotjRf4l6pQ?si=hOFnLBgnNWvjv6f4 She loves to play with her siblings and enjoys her toys, but she’s not wild or overwhelming. She has a calm presence about her that feels comforting. Astra would thrive in a patient, loving home that will continue showing her that the world is kind. At around four months old, this Shepherd/Lab mix is still discovering everything for the first time. New sounds and new experiences can make her a little nervous, but she’s learning every single day. With encouragement and love, she will absolutely blossom into the most loyal, devoted companion. If you’ve ever wanted a dog who bonds deeply and loves quietly but wholeheartedly, Astra is waiting to meet you. https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/69768a004d2d4c6af2078630 Questions?

Story
From the moment you meet Lentil Lou, one thing becomes very clear...life is simply more fun with her in it. This sweet, goofy girl has the joyful spirit of an oversized shepherd puppy, paired with a heart that seems to have endless love to give. Lentil Lou is incredibly social and greets the world with pure happiness, always ready to make a new friend whether they have two legs or four. She absolutely adores other dogs and lights up during playtime, bouncing around with playful enthusiasm and charming silliness that’s impossible not to smile at. Equal parts cuddly sweetheart and playful goofball, Lentil Lou brings laughter, affection, and nonstop cuteness wherever she goes. If you’ve been looking for a dog who will fill your days with fun, companionship, and a whole lot of love, Lentil Lou might just be your perfect match. Watch her video and you'll be smitten by her: https://youtu.be/xErEmx2U-Is?si=fBol9-3XA2TNA5Ej Lentil Lou is believed to be a German Shepherd mix approximately 1 year 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. We do know that Lentil is as sweet as they come, and to add to her greatness, she is essentially a full-grown puppy with that adorable puppy face of hers. This little lady loves to love and adores every person she meets. The term stranger danger does not exist in her vocabulary. She is the definition of a social butterfly, and with her, you’ll have a bestie to explore with, a snuggly princess to binge-watch your favorite shows with, and the sole reason your camera roll will always be full. She has been around kids and has been nothing but gentle around young kids. We do believe that she would be happiest in a home with kids 12 and older. Lentil is very dog friendly and loves to make friends with other dogs. She has been around dogs with all different temperaments, from large dominant males to submissive quiet ladies, and her personal favorite… the playful party pups. Lentil loves to play with other dogs and has the best time romping around, wrestling, playing chase, sharing toys, and also enjoys simply hanging out. She’s not all about bringing the party vibes all the time; she appreciates downtime and relaxing at home with her new friends as well. Lentil would do great in a home with another playful dog like herself but can also be your one and only. She does not need the company of another dog to feel comfortable or open up. Lentil is a social butterfly by nature and would love to be the center of your world. Lentil is a smart gal too! She brings the brains to every training session. She is very treat motivated and eager to please. She already knows how to sit, and you can tell she is ready to learn it all just by the way she engages with her person. It’s actually pretty cute how much she wants to make you happy. You’ll see it in her video if you haven’t already. She walks fairly nicely on a leash and may pull occasionally out of excitement to go sniff something interesting or say hello to a friendly face. It’s easy to regain her focus, and she responds well to gentle reminders. Lentil is also comfortable tandem walking with other dogs. She is crate trained and potty trained too! With patience, consistency, and of course treats, training with Lentil will be a fun and rewarding bonding experience for you both. Lentil would thrive in a home with a semi-active family that enjoys neighborhood walks and is looking for a super affectionate girl. If you’re someone who loves to host and have people over, Lentil will be the very first one to greet your guests. Not feeling especially social one day? That’s perfectly fine by Lentil, she’ll be happiest wherever you are. She would also make an amazing adventure buddy! Take her to the park, explore nature trails, go on outings, visit your local brewery or beach, and watch her win hearts and gather adoring fans everywhere she goes. We believe Lentil would thrive in a home with a backyard where she can stretch her legs, soak up the sunshine, and happily meander alongside you while you garden or work around the yard. We are willing to test Lentil Lou 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
The personality. The face. The size. The EARS! Everything about Kaiser Cruz from head to toe, inside out, is literal perfection. Shepherd lovers better hurry up because he won't be available for long. He is snuggly, dog friendly, loves the outdoors, smart, and great with kids! The list can quite literally go on and on and on. Biggest flex this boy has are those amazing ears. Full of personality and full of cuteness. Watch his video and fall in love with this sweet boy: https://youtu.be/ajZy2JOkRrw?si=SuyuCzdNV99fOIl2 Kaiser Cruz is believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 7 years old and currently weighs 64 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue it's always a mystery, and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Kaiser is the perfect combination of affection while also being independent. He's not overly needy with his love nor does he ever over do it. If you're someone that works from home, he'll be a great work from home buddy because he's not going to be constantly begging you for attention or getting into things he shouldn't be (he has wonderful house manners I might add). He's the type that will come up to you when the time is right for a little ear/nose scratch almost as if he knew you needed a 5 min break from work. As for the rest of the time, he's a window watcher and loves looking out windows or he'll be playing with a toy. While Kaiser waits for his forever family, he is being spoiled by his foster family and they absolutely adore him and rave about him. He is currently fostered in a home with kids ages 4 and 8 years old, and Kaiser has been nothing but sweet perfection around the kids in his foster home. They have the best time playing together, snuggling, and he loves being a part of a family dynamic. Kaiser is very tolerant with all of the kids in the home and just loves them to pieces. He has no issues when the kids are playing with his toys, running around, and is frequently found giving them the gentlest kisses. It's the sweetest thing! If you have kids and are looking for a bestie for your kiddos, Kaiser is definitely your guy. Not only is Kaiser great with kids, he is also very dog friendly and has done great with all the dogs we have introduced him to and is also fostered in a home with an 8 month old playful pittie mix. Kaiser has been around dogs all with different personalities and has done great with every single one. Kaiser is wonderful about meeting new dogs and will either play with them or will go off and do his own thing. That's what is so great about him, the way he is able to adapt to the dogs around him. He can run around, have a good time and he also just as happy going off and doing his own thing while the other dogs are being wild. Kaiser is more about exploring and doing his own thing rather than playing with other dogs. Though when Kaiser does play, he plays like a total shepherd. If you know shepherds or have ever owned one, then you know they love mouthy air play, will give nose boops where they see fit LOL, and use their paws like they are professional boxers at times all while keeping things lighthearted and fun. Shepherd play is definitely entertaining to say the least. Kaiser would love to have a dog sibling in the home, but if you don't have one, that's okay too. He does not need the company of another dog to satisfy his energy needs or to help him open up. Kaiser would love to be in a home with a backyard where he can sunbathe anytime he wants, roll in the grass, and explore all the fun smells. He would make a great companion while you garden and relax on the patio enjoying the fresh air. He’ll enjoy going on neighborhood walks, mini adventures and then will happily lay next to you for cozy time. Kaiser is such a good boy, a 10/10! Now, he just needs a family to call his own. We are willing to test Kaiser Cruz 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
*Now fostered in Puyallup, WA* This cutie is Sprinkles! She is currently living with 2 young children and adult male and female dogs. What stands out about Sprinkles is how cuddly she is! She loves napping on her people. She is currently 4 months old. We think they may be a Shepherd and Australian Kelpie mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that they are adorable and are one the MOST desperate in the entire US based on statistics for where this puppy is from. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another in its place. Watch Aespa’s playful personality here: https://youtu.be/2cHA_oBaHyo?si=j9794FKRMZ3HS180 Aespa is playful, sweet, curious, and loves to be a lap dog. She loves to play with her dog friends and take lots of naps. Eat, sleep, play, repeat- such is puppy life! We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Aespa 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. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Oh my goodness, where do we even begin with this girl? Everyone who meets Jenny June falls head over heels almost instantly. She has that undeniable charm that just pulls you in and once she’s got you, there’s no going back. She truly checks every box, and then somehow adds a few bonus ones. And those big brown puppy dog eyes? They’re the kind that stop you mid-sentence. Soft, warm, and almost teddy-bear-like, they make you feel like you’ve known her forever. Watch her video and see for yourself how sweet she is: https://youtu.be/fLCgzfpZrOI?si=A36wpqdIRDeKryk- Jenny June is believed to be a Pittie mix approximately 2 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. Jenny is as sweet as they come, and despite being fully grown, she carries herself like a forever puppy. She has that youthful sparkle, that playful curiosity, and that irresistible puppy face that makes you want to scoop her up and tell her she’s perfect (because she kind of is). She loves deeply and wholeheartedly and once she bonds with you, you suddenly have a built-in adventure buddy, professional couch snuggler, and the newest star of your camera roll. She may be a little shy when meeting new people or stepping into new environments, but give her just a few minutes and you’ll see her blossom. Before you know it, she’s handing out kisses and leaning into you for affection. Jenny has spent time around children as young as four and showed a beautifully gentle, patient nature. While she handled the excitement of little ones well, we think she’d truly thrive in a home with slightly older kids who can match her softer spirit. When it comes to other dogs, Jenny is a social butterfly. She has participated in playgroups with dogs of all sizes and personalities and absolutely thrives in that setting. A good game of chase is one of her absolute favorites, especially when her dog friends are right there running alongside her. She shares toys kindly and even shares affection without a fuss. While she’d be happy as you're one-and-only, we would love to see her paired with another moderately playful pup who enjoys a balance of backyard zoomies and relaxed downtime. Jenny also had the opportunity to meet our house cat, Biggie, and she handled herself beautifully. She was respectful, curious but calm, and never attempted to chase. Biggie felt comfortable enough to go about his usual cat business without concern. While we can’t say for certain whether she has lived with cats before, her first impression was a great one. If you have a feline family member, we’re happy to coordinate a kitty sleepover to ensure it’s the perfect match. Energy-wise, Jenny has that wonderful “just right” balance. She enjoys leisurely neighborhood walks where she can take in all the sights and smells, and she’s just as happy curling up beside you afterward for some quality couch time.

Story
Fenyx has been settling in well into his foster home. He is super smart and wants to please, so we think he would be great for someone who likes to mold their pup into a great canine citizen! He is such a wiggle butt when learning, super eager, very puppy-like and high energy, but he does learn quickly and it's really fun to watch him grow and thrive! Fenyx LOVES people! He has even met a 2 year old that he let boop his nose. He loves affection, pets, cuddles, hugs! He is the best weighted blanket, the best dancer and hugger! He has the sweetest face that you can't resist! He uses his legs in the funniest ways. He will just lean on you b/c he knows you're his rock! He loves to be close and touching. He can sometimes be a trip hazard but could also be an amazing contact heeler! He's the quintessential VELCRO dog! He is learning so much: House manners Potty trained Foster works on eye contact through hand feeding Sit, Down, Place, Crate, Stay, Bed, Here, Stand, Leave it esp around prey [all in progress vs prooved] .  He's being trained in German mostly but once dogs learn the behavior it's not that hard to change the language.  Working on luring in Heel posiitons and Loose Leash Walking Touch command Off leash work - doing well but at this time he can only go where he won't run into stranger dogs, however he can recall from prey Ecollar conditioning Hind Leg awareness work Thresholds Calm behavior and reducing impulsivity and reactivity Independent sleeping/resting - working on needing less reassurance Crate training He is quiet and clean in the crate! He does whine at times and in the car he needs a cover, but he sleeps through the night. However, he is sensitive to sounds and may bark at times esp with fireworks. He's been learning the ropes of living in a home and sharing the space with other dogs. He integrated into the foster's pack easily and quickly with proper introductions!At first, he didn't really know what to make of his foster sister's attempts to play, but he has finally given in and they love romping around the yard. It took him a bit to learn what proper play ettiquette is but he had a good teacher! So, with proper introductions, he can be great with other dogs and is overall a conflict avoider but one that is not overly submissive. He would do best with dogs who are good confident teachers. However, he can be reactive with other/stranger dogs! We suspect that it's because he has not had much socialization, possibly because he was crated all his life, that he can become over-stimulated quickly when seeing stranger dogs, prey animals, helicopters, loud bangs/noises, etc. This is a fear-based response and he needs continued training to help him become more confident. His reactivity depends heavily on the situation and can range from whining to lunging. A new thing we learned is that if he's introduced to the human before meeting the new dogs, he does very well and was able to meet a new dog without issues. He is not meant to be a city dog, at least not for some time! He would need much work to be able to handle busy areas and passing dogs without reacting.  He is a soft dog and easily corrected [when not in over-arousal]. He is a [mostly] well mannered dog in the home but without structure, good boundaries/working for priveleges and consistency, he could develop bad habits. For example, he worked through some initial resource guarding of his human/couch but that's no longer an issue! However, it may resurface in a new home. Resource guarding and Separation anxiety are the most seen issues in this breed. Giving him too much attention/affection and too few boundaries could make him into an insecure dog who develops those issues.  He might enjoy scent work or NASDA as he does not let go of a scent when he catches it! His foster took him to barn hunt and he peed on the bails, snuggled with the instructure but once he caught the whiff of the rat, he was VERY interested! Ideal Home:Experienced and breed-savvy home! He would love someone who is excited about training sessions, takes him on adventures in the forest vs the city and loves on him! He has A LOT of prey drive - definitely will keep you safe from squirrles - and it is imperative that his forever human understands how to work with him around that. Meaning, he needs his prey drive satisfied with play before being able to engage in pack drive and training! His foster has started working on that but his new human will need to continue the work. He gets to explore and satisfy his prey drive on hikes and he recalls well. Ideally, there are no young children in the home. He is super sweet and gentle when he has met kids but in the home, he can be bouncy and gets very excited and starts to nip during play; plus, he likes to jump and hug. Although he LOVES people and affection, he can get overstimulated with too much attention and is not meant to be a party goer.He hopes that his human will help him build confidence to need less reassurance - well, we hope that, he would love to hug you all day long!  Ideally, his new human knows how to slowly integrate him into a pack and doesn't require him to be dog friendly off the bat!! We believe he has the potential to become dog neutral but it will take time and dedication! We really hope YOU are out there!  Fenyx has so much LOVE to give and is just waiting for his furever match!

Story
Are you looking for a maligator with maybe half the intensity but all the charm? How about half the need to work but surely the full desire to become one with her human? And perhaps half the pointy ears but all the sugar face adorableness? Welp, meet Ducky! Ducky came into Ninja's Woof Haus Rescue after being seen roaming the streets of California for at least 45 days, found vomiting plastic and who knows what else with eating just whatever she could to survive. And who knows what life she had before then to boot... But you best believes she's getting the royal treatment she deserves in her foster home! After a full day of travel from CA to northern UT, Ducky quickly bonded with her foster momma over a couple of string cheeses.  She also quickly warmed up to her curiosity of the resident indoor cat, and with proper introductions is finding her place in the resident pack of two other female malinois and one male dutchie.  She's also been enjoying relaxed strolls on a loose leash and taking in all the sights and smells. But the best part of her finding her confidence in the foster home? When she shows off her leaps and bounds of joy running around the yard! Watching her go from the timid and dainty lil' girl to a carefree maligator just being a dog is truly the most rewarding sight one could witness. Ducky's gentle and sincere soul is ready to warm your heart for many years to come. Are you ready to let her waddle into your heart and home? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application!  Completed applications that match the need of the dog will be contacted as soon as possible.
