Story
~DOB: 5/16/2021 Weight: 58 Pounds Energy level: Moderate - High Overall drive: Moderate - High Location: Tigard, OR Lilo is a stunning GSD mix with the heart and humor of a giant overgrown puppy. Just her energy and joyfulness are level 87 contagious; they infect everyone and everything she comes in contact with! She bounds around the yard, chasing her favorite toys and doing her Lilo’s best happy dance every time she sees her person. She is bonded to Zion as she’s lived her whole life with him so they do need to stay together. If Lilo were a human with a pesky human job, her foster thinks she would be a cruise ship director, as she is high energy, charming, and thrilled about checking up on everyone, making sure they are having fun! She is the first one out the door into the yard, organizing all the fun and making sure no one feels left out! This lady is the definition of fun-loving and friendly; between her enthusiasm and love for all things in life, she will also have you doubled over laughing with her silly antics. During car rides, Lilo gets anxious in the beginning, but excitement soon takes over. During her recent trip to the vet’s, she was pretty anxious as well, but that quickly turned into curiosity since everyone was gushing over her. Loud noises around the house do not seem to bother her much, which is always nice with a larger dog. When visitors come over, she is the perfect hostess and meets them at the door with unbridled enthusiasm and an open heart. Additionally, she loves kids, but she is still pretty bouncy for the little ones. #ForeverPuppy During Lilo’s time in foster, she has mastered Sit and Paw commands. Also, she is working overtime on Stay and Heel commands as well. She is house-trained and has never surfed any counters or raided any trash cans! Crate training is minimal, as she willingly goes in her crate, but would rather hang out with her people! The only destructive thing she has ever done since arriving at her foster home is digging in the backyard, like we are talking. #HeadedToChinaDigging But that has been corrected and she now no longer digs in the backyard. Lilo will thrive in a busy home where her forever puppy spirit is embraced. This lady is no couch potato and would love a big yard for zoomies and playtime. She does great with older kids, cats, and dogs as well. So, if you are on the hunt for a bouncy girl, that comes with an older BFF, Lilo is on the hunt for you as well!

Story
~DOB: 12/1/2020 Weight: 55 lbs Energy level: Moderate Overall drive: Moderate Location: San Jose, CA Meet Chex, the dog who believes every problem in life can be solved with…you guessed it…a ball! Chex has survived more than any dog should ever have to. He’s been shot, attacked, abandoned, and spent months waiting in a shelter before finally getting the medical care he deserved. Through it all, he never lost his kind heart, his goofy spirit, or his unwavering belief that people are worth loving. His favorite hobby? Following you around with a ball in his mouth, politely dropping it at your feet, and waiting. Ignore him? He’ll move it somewhere impossible to miss. Still busy? You’ll get one very polite “woof.” It’s impossible not to laugh and love every minute of it. Chex is house-trained, crate-trained, respectful in the home, rides beautifully in the car, does great at the vet, and isn’t bothered by loud noises. He’s smart, eager to learn, and already knows commands like sit, go home, game over, speak, and go get. He’s happiest when he has a job, whether that’s playing fetch, learning new skills, or simply being your loyal sidekick. Chex would thrive with an experienced, active family who appreciates a dog with some energy, drive and a sense of humor. Older, dog-savvy kids would likely be the best fit. Daily exercise, continued training, and plenty of ball time are all he asks. After everything he’s endured, Chex isn’t looking for perfection. He’s looking for someone who won’t give up on him. And maybe…someone willing to retrieve the occasional ball from under the couch.

Story
~DOB: 12/1/2017 Weight: 56 lb Energy level: moderate Overall drive: moderate Location: Loveland, CO Bella is the world’s sweetest cuddle bug… with just a tiny side hustle as the self-appointed Neighborhood Speed Enforcement Officer. If cars are driving too fast, Bella is convinced someone has to keep them in line! When the excitement is over, Bella transforms into the ultimate Velcro dog. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch or climbing into bed, she’ll happily melt into your lap like a 56-pound rag doll. She doesn’t just love her people; she absolutely adores them and wants nothing more than to be by your side. Bella is smart, affectionate, food-motivated, and always ready for a game of fetch. She knows several commands, loves her crate, and is happiest when life is calm, predictable, and filled with plenty of cuddles. Now, Bella isn’t perfect and she’d probably tell you that counter surfing is an Olympic sport. Butter? Toilet paper? Anything left within reach? She considers those fair game. Her guilty “street dog” face after getting caught is so hilarious it’s hard not to laugh… even while hiding everything on the counters. Bella is looking for an experienced home where she can be the only pet. She’ll do best with someone who enjoys an active lifestyle, appreciates a loyal shadow, and doesn’t mind sharing their bed with a world-class snuggler. If you’re searching for a best friend who will love you with her whole heart, make you laugh every day, and always be close enough for one more cuddle, Bella is waiting.

Story
~DOB: 6/1/2026 Weight: 48 lbs Energy level: Moderate -High Overall drive: Moderate, High prey Location: Yelm, WA Didi is the whole package: sweet, affectionate, athletic, smart, and just the right amount of goofy. And those floppy ears? Absolutely CUTE. At just 3yrs old, Didi is ready to be someone’s adventure buddy. She loves toys, food, exploring, and playing with other dogs after a thoughtful introduction. She’s quiet and incredibly gentle when taking treats, excellent at the vet, unfazed by loud noises, and keeps her kennel beautifully clean. Didi is curious and very detail-oriented. If she were human, she’d be an exterminator because absolutely NOTHING escapes her notice. She has a high prey drive, so no small animals, but that busy brain could make her a fantastic nosework prospect! She’s moderately/highly energetic and will thrive with someone who enjoys walking, hiking, training, and keeping both her body and brain busy. A male dog to play with would be a bonus. She’s happiest when she’s with her people, so a home where someone is around frequently would be ideal. Didi does have a few young-dog habits to polish like jumping, counter surfing, and the occasional digging project, but she’s smart, food motivated, and responds beautifully to a firm verbal correction. And when she’s entertaining herself? She tosses her toys into the air. Because apparently, Didi believes she’s both the dog AND the entertainment committee. Didi isn’t looking for perfection. She’s looking for her people, her adventures, and a lifetime of being loved.

Story
~DOB: 6/1/2026 Weight: 35 Pounds Energy level: Moderate Overall drive: Moderate Location: Boring, OR Jaguar has a giant heart (figuratively) with tons of love to give! He loves getting his belly rubbed, cuddles, and playing with his buddies (both K9 and human). Looking for someone who is always down for an adventure, this is your guy! If Jaguar were a human, he probably wouldn’t have a “job” but more like a ton of hobbies that he is really good at combined with a suspiciously large income from penny stocks. #WolfPuppyOfWallStreet He is extremely friendly and will help you make new friends as his forever human. Not only does he love people, but he also loves every dog he comes across during his daily adventures. Play time is just about a 24/7 operation in Jaguar's mind! Also, he is very confident for his age and shows zero signs of changing. During car rides, Jaguar has been known to toss a few cookies while in the car. It is getting better, but sometimes his foster gets to revisit his breakfast. During his visit to the vet’s office, he was very shy, which is uncommon for him, but we are sure it is due to the whole “thermometer” thing. When there are loud noises around the house, he is very curious and cautious when going to inspect where the noise came from. His foster says that he makes all sorts of funny facial expressions and will play with anything he can find. #TheWorldIsHisToyBasket While Jaguar has been at his foster home, he has been working hard on some obedience training. Some of the commands he has mastered are Sit, Shake, Crate, and Free (release for meals). Other commands he is working on mastering are Down, learning his name, and a solid recall. During training time, his biggest motivator is food; this dude is a stomach disguised as a dog. Additionally, he is not destructive at all other than packing around “missing” socks that you thought that the dryer ate. Also, fun fact: he is crate trained and loves being in his crate! Mr. Jaguar is looking for his forever home, which could really be any sort of stable living environment. Somewhere that has a spot for a crate, goes on adventures, and has another dog friend for him to pal around with would be a great start! #DidWeJustBecomeBestFriends So if that describes your house, Jaguar would love to come have a forever sleepover!
