Meet Chelsea – our little princess! 👑🐾 Available for forever home on March 27th!! Chelsea is a sweet little girl, about 2 years old, who is ready to find her forever home. She has a gentle, loving personality and enjoys being around people. Chelsea does great with small dogs and loves kids. She is also playful around cats, so she may just need a little guidance and correction as she learns proper manners with them. She is already potty trained, which is a wonderful start! Chelsea is still working on walking nicely on a leash, but with a little patience and practice she’ll get the hang of it in no time. If you’re looking for a loving little companion with a playful spirit and a princess personality, Chelsea could be the perfect addition to your family. 💕 Location: Cashmere, WA (currently in a foster home) 👉 Apply to Adopt: https://www.cognitoforms.com/Okandogs1/DogAdoptionApplication

Story
Soft fluff, gentle eyes, and the quiet charm of a dog who would rather love softly than make a big fuss… this is Waffle. At just 17 pounds, he’s the kind of little companion who brings a calm, cozy energy wherever he goes. Want to see this fluffy little gentleman for yourself? Head over to YouTube and then come right back to learn more about the boy who believes the best parts of life are soft toys, warm laps, and a home that feels safe. https://youtu.be/aaybwp6jqjI Waffle is estimated to be about 2 years old and weighs 17 lbs. Our best guess is that he may be a Maltipoo mix, though as always with rescue, breed and birthday are simply our best guess. In his foster home, Waffle lives in the midst of a busy, loving household that includes a variety of dogs, cats, and an 11-year-old child. He has settled into the rhythm of family life beautifully and is described as an easygoing, playful little presence. He enjoys toys, likes to play once he feels comfortable, and is happiest when he can simply be near his people and part of the everyday moments. He would be a wonderful fit for a calm home where the toys are plentiful, play is frequent, love flows freely and lap-dog love is welcome. With other dogs, Waffle is polite and thoughtful when meeting them and tends to take his time before jumping into play. Once he’s comfortable though, his playful side comes out and he enjoys toys and bouncy fun with his canine friends. He seems to appreciate other dogs who respect his space and let friendships develop naturally rather than rushing him. Waffle is a sweet souls, which means new environments and unfamiliar people can feel overwhelming at first. When he is in a new setting, similar to when he arrives at his new home, he may go slow but in no time he will show just how much he leans on the comfort of people. Once he has a chance to settle and feel safe, his soft side comes out and he is happy to climb into a lap and accept affection. With a little patience and time to warm up, he will show the sweet, affectionate personality his foster family knows so well. Because of that sensitive nature, Waffle will likely do best in a home where introductions to new people and situations can happen at his pace. A home with a yard or quieter environment will help him feel secure while he continues building confidence. With gentle guidance and consistency, dogs like Waffle blossom into incredibly devoted companions. What his foster family already sees every day is the real heart of Waffle, a soft, loving little dog who enjoys toys, appreciates gentle company, and thrives in a home where he can feel safe and understood. Once he knows you’re his person, he happily settles in close and lets that sweet personality shine. If you’ve been hoping for a fluffy little companion with a tender heart and a gentle spirit, Waffle might just be your perfect match.

Story
*Fostered in Southern MA* This cutie is Uno! He is almost 4 months old and weighs approximately 14 pounds. We think he may be a Maltipoo/Chihuahua mix*, but with rescue it’s always a guess! What matters most is that he is absolutely adorable and comes from one of the most urgent areas in the country for puppies. Shelters in Houston, Texas are unfortunately having to euthanize puppies due to lack of space, which means Uno is truly blessed. When you adopt him, you're not only saving this puppy’s life, you're also opening space for the rescue to save another animal in need. Watch Uno’s playful personality here: https://youtu.be/Y-POvGrHZTo?si=MFDniU0UZq2NBl8R Uno is playful, sweet, curious, and cuddly. Like most puppies, his days are filled with eat, sleep, play, repeat! He loves playing with other dogs and is currently being fostered in a home with canine friends. Uno also adores people and is very loving and affectionate with kids and adults of all ages. He is making great progress with potty training and is learning to ask to go outside. Because of his young age, he still does best with a consistent potty schedule. He has no accidents in his crate or pen during the day and sleeps through the night with one potty break. Uno is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization, and all the dedication puppyhood requires. Puppies are constantly learning about the world around them, and establishing routine, structure, boundaries, and proper socialization early will help them grow into confident adult dogs. We require adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving home. Crate training helps with potty training, energy management, and raising a well-rounded dog. In return for all your efforts, you’ll be rewarded with endless love, puppy kisses, and a loyal best friend. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
