Story
Dax is a working line German shepherd. We got him at 10 weeks old and put an immense amount of work/training into him. He’s a sweet boy, but requires more work from us than we can give him at this time. We have 2 young children and one on the way. He does so well with our kids and is loyal. He can be very vocal when he doesn’t receive our immediate attention. Dax enjoys fetch, walks, car rides, meeting new people, and hide-and-go seek. He also really loves training with treats. He knows basic commands, is kenneled when we are gone, and doesn’t mind loud noises (such as fireworks and thunderstorms). He would do really well with a companion who can give him the time and attention he seeks. We haven’t had him around other dogs much, and seems to be a little territorial of his space. I’m not sure if this is something that could be worked through, or just his temperament. Is Dax the companion dog you’re looking for? He can’t wait to meet you!

Story
Looking for a loving home for Oso ❤️This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I’ve had Oso for the past 5 years, and he means so much to me. My son has always helped take care of him, but my son recently left for the Army, and now it’s just Oso and me.I work 10-hour days, and unfortunately, I don’t have a yard or the time I feel Oso deserves. He spends too much time alone in the house, and as much as it breaks my heart, I know he would be happier with someone who has more time to give him the attention, exercise, and companionship he needs.Oso is a very loving, playful, toy-driven dog who absolutely loves playing fetch. He has a lot of love to give and deserves a home where someone can spend time with him, play with him, and make him part of their everyday lifeThis decision is being made because I love him—not because I don’t want him. ❤️ feel free to text or call 360 771 7843

Story
Peggy is so special! She was the first born and the runt. She was born without a back left paw- her leg stops off at her ankle. She gets around good but her hips aren’t quite even. She does stay off of it mostly still- It’s not fully healed yet, and she’s had a couple setbacks. She is getting closer though! Her ‘peg foot’ is healing to fresh skin, with no fur. She is spirited! She’s had a tough start! But she is so sweet! She’s been bottle fed since 3 days old, and penned on her own since a week old. Since about week 3 she began to ween off milk. She’s been used to being held, given special attention, and coddled quite a bit (to be honest). She can whine a bit, but is getting better with intentional “shush”es. Peggy is a great lapdog, and also plays a mean game of tug-o-war. She’s a great dog! Plays great with dogs, cats, and kids. Everyone just loves her! She deserves more time, energy, and medical care than I can provide.
