Story

Animal Profile: Rico is a 6-year-old (DOB 10/1/2019), 80 lb neutered male German Shepherd with a very sad story looking for a brighter future. He seems older than his years, due to his history of neglect, but he is now safe in foster care and getting the TLC he will need to thrive. Rico has some chronic skin issues that are improving, but will need ongoing supportive care with quality food and supplements. He will also need a structured exercise regimen to promote muscle growth and weight loss. Rico is open to connection with a human -- you can see it in his eyes. He has no aggressive tendencies with humans or dogs but is just awkward with interaction. You can see he wants to do it! He is house trained (with regular access to potty breaks) and crate trained, and has quickly learned some basic obedience such as sit and heel in foster care. He does not have any reactivity on leash but does pull without a prong collar. He seems to have some prey drive for toys (which will be helpful for connection and his spirit!) and cars. We will test him with cats and share that info. More updates as we get to know him. Animal History: Rico was purchased from Tannerhaus GSD, a "reputable breeder" (we DO NOT recommend) that advertises they take their dogs back, but when Rico's senior owner had to move to assisted living, the breeder did not uphold the contract. Rico's family discovered that Rico had not been let outside regularly in years, was forced to potty in the house, and did not have regular access to water; he was more of a well-fed houseplant with limited mental or physical stimulation, or even touch. His owner's family could not find placement for him and moved him to a kennel where he stayed for months and developed skin issues, including a systemic fungal infection. When they could no longer afford to kennel him, they reached out and we could not refuse to help him. Rico found emergency placement with The Good Dog Way in Bellingham (6/9/2025) and began his journey to recovery. He is now in foster care in Bothell and making great progress. He is available for adoption to the greater Seattle area, though we are continuing to work on his physical and mental condition. We will update his profile as he progresses. Adoption Info: The adoption fee is $575 which includes his neuter, core vaccinations, DPPV, Bordetella, microchip, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application October 20, 2026, 8:40 pm

Story

Animal Profile: Leo is an estimated 5-year-old male slight-structured Shepherd mix who was adopted as a young puppy after we accepted him from California where he was found as a stray in a Chino dumping zone along with his sibling Sansa and mom Catelyn. He joined us in Seattle on 10/10, along with Sansa and Catelyn. Leo was returned to the rescue after a couple of years due to a divorce in the family, lacking socialization and training. He was fostered with a trainer for several weeks and is now thriving and ready for a loving forever home. Seattle Foster Update: Leo has progressed well in his time with us as a foster. When Leo arrived to us from training he was moderately reactive, but quickly blossomed to a friendly, tail wagging, bouncy boy. Leo is in a word eccentric. He is a cuddle bug and a hermit and assumes the oddest positions imaginable to get close to his owners. He is crate trained perfectly and enjoys the safe environment the crate provides for him. If you’re unwilling to give Leo a crate then you’re not the right home for him. He needs his escape and downtime to be the best boy. Leo warms up slowly to new people and dogs, and his new owners should be selective in dog introductions as he will react if confronted and doesn’t like in your face dog encounters. He plays well with male Collie and male Malinois and he has a firm truce with our selective female Bulldog. He lives with our cats and is completely disinterested in them. So, cat friendly. Leo will never be a dog park dog. So no dog parks. We don’t have kids in the household so don’t have awareness there. He has no food aggression but he's still working on taking treats gently. Leo will be a great hiking buddy and walks beautifully on leash. He doesn’t have marked stranger danger but again the policy will likely be "please don’t pet my dog without proper introductions." Adopter Profile: Dog experience required Fenced yard required Other dog/dogs in the home a plus Cats okay Older kids okay Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $400, which includes spay/neuter, current rabies/DAPPV/bordetella vaccinations, microchip, health certificate, and heartworm test. All adoption fees are donations to a Washington non-profit corporation and all donations go to benefit the animals in our rescue. Apply online at www.DogGoneSeattle.org October 20, 2026, 8:40 pm

Zoey

German Shepherd Dog

Size

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Animal Information: Zoey is a 6 year old, 60 pound German Shepherd mix in need of a new home. She was adopted from Kitsap Humane Society three years ago and has been waiting over a year to be rehomed. Her current owner is moving due to health reasons and was forced to surrender her. She has lived with a cat, but her limited time outside the crate makes it unclear how well she is fully integrated. Zoey is house trained, crate trained, and has basic obedience skills. She is dog friendly. She is social with people and seeks out attention. Foster Profile: This girl is an absolute delight—sweet, a little goofy, and whip-smart, with the kind of personality that makes her instantly lovable. She has blossomed in her foster home. She's equally happy chasing a frisbee, running after a ball, or hitting the trail for a good walk, and then just as content to curl up next to you in full snuggle mode with her dinosaur stuffy in tow, always (she has one very special toy that goes everywhere with her, and yes, it's exactly as cute as it sounds). She's a total water baby, and lights up at any chance to hit the beach and play in the waves. Zoey isn't a velcro dog, but she does like to keep her people in sight. She is content to do her own thing nearby rather than always stay underfoot. She's crate and potty trained, knows basic commands, and "crates up" like a champ when asked. She'd be perfectly happy as an only dog since she's so devoted to her people, but she'd would also love to have a canine sibling or a family of kids eager to play with her. Though not excessively vocal, typical for her breed, Zoey does have a fairly loud protective bark. We think she will do best with a bit of space and ideally a fenced yard. We are not considering apartments for Zoey at this time. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166). Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog was surrendered to our rescue when her owner had a chance of living arrangement. She is arriving to foster care as soon as we secure a foster home and will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.October 20, 2026, 8:40 pm

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Meet Priscilla! Well, hello there, darlin'! You ain't nothin' but a hound dog if you pass up this girl! Meet Priscilla, a 2.5-year-old, 45-pound German Shepherd mix who's ready to leave the heartbreak hotel behind and find her forever home! When Priscilla first arrived, she was a little shy and needed some time to come out of her shell. But these days? She's found her groove, gained her confidence, and is ready for her close-up. Watching this sweet girl blossom has been music to our ears! Priscilla is the definition of all shook up in reverse — she's actually a wonderfully chill, easygoing girl who gets along great with other dogs and people of all sizes. She's not much of a barker, doesn't need to be the center of attention, and is perfectly happy just being part of your everyday life. Basically, she's got the looks, the personality, AND the manners. What more could you want, thank you very much? She's kennel-savvy, house-trained, and walks nicely on a leash, so you can take your little queen on leisurely neighborhood strolls while she waits for the paparazzi to arrive. Priscilla isn't looking for a Vegas wedding or a life of rockstar drama. She's ready for the simple things: a loving family, a cozy couch, some companionship, and people who will love her forever and ever. So, are you lonesome tonight? Because Priscilla sure won't let you stay that way! Adopt Priscilla, and you'll be loving her tenderly for the rest of her days.

Story

Animal Information: Baby aka Baylee aka Baby B is a beautiful young adult female German Shepherd who was found as a stray and since completed her stray hold and is available for adoption. She was initially estimated at appx 4 years old and underweight but as she has settled in and gotten healthy we believe she's likely younger (appx 2 years and 55-60 lbs). Since being fostered with a dog trainer, Baby has learned a lot! She has a strong foundation of basic obedience - sit, stay, and loose leash walking. She also loves to play (fetch, tug, etc.) and this is a really great way for her to get comfortable with new people. While she wants to play with other dogs and currently lives with several, she will need structured introductions to new pack members as well as an owner committed to ongoing training and exposure training. This super gorgeous and fun girl is ready to be a best friend with a little patience and guidance. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166). Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: Baby was found as a stray with no collar/tag/chip in Federal Way area on Oct 15, 2025. She was posted as a found stray with the appropriate jurisdiction and posted online but no one was looking for her. She didn't seem to know much in the way of training or have much socialization but luckily she was taken in by a good samaritan who happened to be a dog trainer. She's spent a few months learning the ropes of the good dog life and is now ready for adoption in the greater Seattle area. October 20, 2026, 8:40 pm

Story

Animal Profile: Looking for a partner in crime? Meet Felon! He's a neutered male Belgian Malinois that is around 18 months old, 55 lbs, and is ready for a person to call his own. Despite his menacing name, this boy is a bundle of joy in a svelte package. Felon loves to go at full speed and would be a fantastic companion for someone looking to get into dog sports -- dock diving, barn hunt, IPO -- he wants a shot to shine! In typical Malinois form, he is highly intelligent, loyal, and athletic. He shows moderate food drive and high toy drive and is an exceptionally quick learner. He does have an off switch and is content to chill on place command with a stuffy toy, or in his crate. Felon is very friendly meeting new people and has lived with other dogs as well as cats, but will be best in a cat-free home. Felon has a strong grasp of basic obedience training including recall, place and loose leash walking. With this foundation he's ready to shine with a family dedicated to providing ongoing mental and physical stimulation, structure and leadership.

Good with dogs,

Story

Animal Information: Mabel is an estimated 2-year-old, 60-pound female Malinois mix who wound up at the shelter as a stray. She had recently had puppies, and the responding officer believed she had been dumped in the area. When Mabel first arrived, she was very nervous and reserved in her kennel. With a little patience and encouragement from shelter staff, she slowly came out of her shell, and it didn’t take long for everyone to discover that she was actually a total lap dog! Mabel also did well in playgroups. She started off shy and unsure, but with a little time, she warmed up and began enjoying herself with the other dogs. When Mabel’s time at the shelter was up, we simply couldn’t say no to giving this sweet girl a chance at the good life here in the PNW. We’re so excited to see her chapter change from survival to the happy, loving life she deserves. Foster Profile: Coming Soon! Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter (on contract, if applicable), core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian.
