Story
Hi, my name is Carter and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Mar 11, 2025. I can be a bit of an introverted pup. I like having my own space at times and prefer quiet time with my person or people compared to big social gatherings. I have a lot of love to give, you just have to give me a little bit of time to show it all to you!

Hi, my name is Bella and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Mar 29, 2025. “Play” is my middle name! Fetch, tug-of-war, frisbee – I’ve done my research and I love it all! Playing together and having fun, followed by curling up at your feet or on the couch would be my absolute ideal day.

Story
This is Murphy Girl. She is a 2-year-old German shepherd mix. She is the best girl! We rescued her from Wet Noses, Foster Paws in March 2023. She and her 2 siblings had been found abandoned in the woods, and needed homes. She has been a wonderful pet for our family! I have 2 young daughters, and Murphy is great with them! The only time she needs reminders is when greeting people. She gets so excited she often jumps up to say hi! Murphy is good with kids, cats and dogs. She has a big bark, and sounds like an excellent watch dog (however, she would probably just lick the intruder to death!). We have loved having her in the family, and are so sad to let her go, but I had a change of jobs and just can’t spend enough time with her anymore. She and her (adopted) sister, Timber, make a fabulous pair and love each other dearly. It would be preferable to find them a new home where they can be together ❤️

Story
Ruston is a 4 year old German Sheppard. We had him since he was an 8 week old puppy. We love him so much, unfortunately our schedule has just become too busy. We have a two year old running around here, and we just dont have the time to go on hikes with him anymore. He does great with children, cats and other dogs. He has basic house trained knowledge. Were looking for someone with a nice backyard for him to roam freely or someone that can be active with him. He loves to please and has a heart of a puppy. If you would like to meet him, please let us know! -Adan Martinez

Story
Meet Coyote! Coyote is a stunning one-year-old German Shepherd rescued from Okanogan County and ready to find his forever home. At this moldable age, he’s eager to learn and please, making him a fantastic candidate for training and bonding with his new family. Friendly and affectionate with all humans, Coyote has an energetic spirit—but in the best way! He thrives on activity and would love a family that enjoys walks, hikes, or adventures where he can be a loyal companion. Despite his playful energy, he has a gentle demeanor and shows promise with basic commands. He does well in his kennel, making transitions and downtime manageable. Like most German Shepherds, Coyote is intelligent, loyal, and thrives with mental and physical stimulation. A household that understands the breed’s need for both structure and adventure will help him blossom into the incredible dog he’s destined to be. Whether it’s learning new tricks, accompanying you on outings, or simply being your best buddy, Coyote is ready to be your devoted sidekick. If you’re looking for a smart, energetic, and loving companion, Coyote is your guy!

Hello! This is Vader. We took him in because his previous owner could not afford to feed him. However, we cannot keep him because we already have 2 of our own and a toddler. He is a sweet pup with a spring of energy. He loves to cuddle and is great with other dogs. He didn’t come with any paperwork but is neutered and microchipped. He would a GREAT companion:)
