Story
Hi, my name is Banff and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Jan 26, 2024. I`m a young pup with a passion for learning, already mastering commands like sit and come, and working on perfecting stay and down. I absolutely adore playing fetch and hanging out with other furry pals—I even rocked it in playgroups at the shelter! Whenever I go for walks my foster paw-rents giggle about how cute my ears are when they bounce. I can’t help it, they’re just like that! Let`s embark on adventures together—ready for some fun?

Story
Jackson is about 17 months old. he was given to my kids as a bday gift in Texas. We have since relocated to Washington state and was unable to find a new home for Jackson. Myself and kids are unable to care for him at this time given life has gotten busy and we are renting and can no longer afford to have him. Jackson is very playful and loves to run and play catch with the ball. Jackson has some crate training but is very smart and tends to do his own thing. I feel he can be redirected and trained if given to someone who has the time and patience with him. In all just looking for a good home where he will continue to receive love and attention.

Story
The longest lady, Mabel (70ish lbs) has extra energy to show her excitement. She jumps up when greeting you but is mostly good about not jumping on. She can be reactive but is learning not to fear and to ‘listen/watch’, quieting down quicker as she gets older. Belly rubs and a hug will help calm her down. She does best with a daily walk or loves to run & play in the yard but mostly just wants to be with you. She would thrive being the only animal or would also do well with teenagers/adults as she does get jealous. She is a sweet and amazingly beautiful creature who is growing up to be quite the little listener as she is incredibly intelligent and just wants to make you happy and to be adored. Mabel comes with a kennel big enough for her (55”x36”x45”) to have a safe place to go. She also comes with all her gear and some treats/food for the transition. I am seeking a safe and supportive environment where she is given attention and patience, gentle but firm correction, and love.

At the moment she has to share her space with other dogs at an outdoor boarding facility. Dakota doesn’t have her own space, but she is an independent dog that allows herself to be apart from the pack. Where does the dog sleep? At the moment she has to share her space with other dogs as her foster has other rescues at the boarding facility.  Temperament/Personality: Dakota is an adorable girl who radiates love and happiness. Her joy comes to life when playing with other dogs that had being properly introduced to her before and with her human. She's a natural explorer, brimming with energy, and she gets excited as she races around the garden at full speed. Of course, she also happily indulges in sweet naps. She's passionate about walks and treats, delighting in affectionate moments and belly rubs. Her charm extends to excellent relationships with both other dogs that had being properly introduced to her before and children. Dakota is learning to walk on a leash and do her business in the right place. What does the dog's ideal home look like? Her ideal home would be a family that loves to do outdoor activities since she is energetic and loves to explore, play and run but can also adjust to a low-key home environment as she enjoys to be by her humans side. She would do better being an only dog or she would need to be properly introduced to other dog which should be submissive and respects Dakota space. What is the dog's rescue story? The charming Dakota has overcome a challenging start, with ropes knotted around her neck and a significant weight loss, reflecting a history of mistreatment on the tough streets of Guadalajara México. Although we don't know precisely how long she endured this situation, it's evident that she suffered a great deal. However, one day, her life took an extraordinary turn when she was rescued by her guardian angel. With patience and love, Dakota regained confidence in herself and in people. Now, she enjoys days filled with joy and fun. Intelligent and observant, Dakota yearns to find an active family to share exciting adventures. Are you ready to give this lovely girl a second chance?

Rogue is a gorgeous boy. He loves to walk and check out all his surroundings. He is very protective and loyal. He would be best in a home that doesn't have small children. He would be best if he is the only pet. Experience with German Shepherds would also be ideal. He is microchipped, neutered, and fully vaccinated. He can be transported anywhere in the US and Canada.       ##1831954##
