Story
Meet Piper – Your Loyal, Playful Companion! Piper is a 65-pound sweetheart living in Portland, OR, and born ~10/1/2023. With a calm, playful personality and a heart full of love, she’s happiest when she’s near her people—with a toy in her mouth and a smile on her face. She’s affectionate, confident, and friendly with people and can be neutral to social towards animals when properly introduced. Piper does great with cats, most dogs, and even livestock (though chickens may need supervision). She loves playing with familiar dog friends, and while she’s still learning how to manage her excitement on leash, she’s making great progress. Strange dogs can cause some leash reactivity to resurface. Piper is house-trained, not destructive, and enjoys car rides, swimming, and outdoor adventures. She’s food-motivated, knows basic commands, and is working on her leash manners. She gives the best welcome-home hugs—standing on her back legs to nuzzle your face like she missed you all day. Her ideal home? A calm environment with someone home most of the time, maybe with another dog and room to roam. She’d thrive with an outdoorsy person or couple who’ll take her hiking or swimming. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key adventure buddy with a heart of gold, Piper is ready to be your new best friend.

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: 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: June 10th 2019 Weight: 76 lbs Energy level: Moderate Overall drive: Moderate Location: Santa Clarita, CA Looking for a loyal sidekick who’s ready to discover the world with you? Meet Skywalker This handsome boy has spent much of his life in a kennel, so every new adventure is exciting through his eyes. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a hike, or simply playing with his favorite toys, Sky approaches life with curiosity and enthusiasm. He may be a little shy for the first day or two, but once he trusts you, you’ll have a devoted best friend who wants nothing more than to be by your side. Sky is affectionate, playful, and incredibly smart. He knows an impressive list of commands including sit, down, stay, come, crate, go to your bed, up, and release. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, well-mannered indoors, and has never shown destructive behavior. Food and play are his biggest motivators, and a game of tug is one of his favorite things in the world. Sky has trained extensively in group settings and walks politely around other animals on leash. He is naturally loyal and protective of his people, so he’ll do best with a confident owner who understands his instincts and can provide clear leadership. A home with fewer visitors would suit him best, and when guests do come over, he’s happy relaxing in his crate. If Sky were human, he’d definitely be a movie star; his name, intelligence, and good looks make him impossible to forget. He would also excel in bite sports or other activities that challenge both his mind and athletic ability. If you’re looking for a faithful companion who will reward your patience with endless loyalty, Skywalker is ready to become your hero.

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: 4/1/2021 Weight: 65 Pounds Energy level: Low - Moderate Overall drive: Low Location: Gilbert, AZ Jordan will single-handedly make sure you are never lonely again! This fella is going to be your second shadow #MyJobNowPeterPan. It does not matter where you go or what you do, he will always be there. Snuggling on the couch, lying at your feet, following you from room to room, just turn around, and he will be there. If Jordan were a human, he would make a living as a massage therapist, as he just wants to touch you all over all the time. #NotCreepyJustLoving Or he could be a bodyguard, but not a hands-on fight people off one, just one that escorts you everywhere you go. This guy would rather interact with his human more than a toy, but he will engage in play time via tug or fetch. Even though he is thought to be around 5yrs old and he has some sugaring on his muzzle; he still plays with toys and acts like a goofy puppy from time to time. One of his favorite play activities is “keep away” much like every other Malinois #MyToyLookButDontTouchButPleaseThrowForMe. During car rides, Jordan enjoys them and usually falls asleep depending on the length of the ride. He was pretty nervous during his vet’s office visit but held still with his foster’s guidance during his exams. He has zero reactions to loud noises such as thunder. One thing he loves is a good walk in the park; during his walks, he has ignored other dogs, birds, and ducks, but bunnies, bikes, and skateboards definitely spark some interest. His foster says that one of the things that Jordan does that makes them laugh is that he plays with his toys while lying on his back and holding them between his paws. Since Jordan has been in foster care, he has mastered some skills such as snuggling and playing with other dogs. #NotMuchButHonestWork Some additional commands and skills he is working on are Sit, Come, Wait, Down, and Drop it. He is crate trained but does not settle quickly; sometimes he spins and barks, but the progress to quell this has been great as of lately. Jordan is not destructive in the house and has decent manners to show as well; he is improving on his confidence around strangers. The biggest thing he needs some work on is not pulling on the leash during walks, but a slight correction goes a long way with Jordan as he is sensitive to correction. Jordan is looking for his forever home that could range from calm to busy; a home without a lot of strangers visiting is probably best until his confidence improves. He does love playing with other dogs, so another playmate would be nice but not required; also, he would probably do well with older kids in the home. Since he does not have a lot of drive, there might not be any dog sports he would be interested in, but he would probably try them all once if you wanted. So, if you are looking for a sugar-snouted best friend, look no further than Jordan!
