Story
Artie: Small Dog, Big Main Character Energy! Meet Artie! This 3-month-old Maltese is a tiny ball of fluff with a face that could get him out of just about anything. He's cute, he's little, and he's pretty sure the entire world was created just to admire him. Artie is currently working on his puppy résumé, and while he may be short on experience, he's making up for it in cuteness! -Leash skills: Learning how to walk like a proper gentleman instead of a fluffy little tumbleweed. -Crate training: Discovering that having his own bedroom isn't such a bad deal. -House manners: Still figuring out the rules, including why the bathroom is apparently outside. -Basic puppy skills: Learning the ropes of being a good boy, one tiny paw at a time. Artie is looking for a family ready for all the fun, training, patience, and occasional chaos that comes with raising a puppy. Artie is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He is being cared for in North Bend, WA

Story
Meet Gidget! Gidget is around two years old and she is just a cutie. She loves walks and going outside and exploring. Gidget loves humans and is very affectionate. She needs a minute to warm up to strangers but once she trusts you she will become very attached. She is a cuddle bug and loves belly rubs and all the love.  Gigdet is crate trained and able to be left alone if you need to be away from home.  Gidget has lived with other dogs but can be a bit jealous of them so she will probably like being your only dog so that she can hog all the attention. As mentioned she can be shy with strangers and this needs some work. She is easily overwhelmed with strangers trying to touch her and she may nip in those situations. Her foster is working on this with her.  Gigdet is not suitable for a home with kids. We have not seen her with cats. She is well potty trained and just a sweetheart. Gidget is vaccinated, spayed and chipped. Her adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Story
Fixin and his brother Rusher are somewhat of a unit: They play together, nap together, and spend basically every waking moment as a two-dog team. He's sweet and playful, has recently discovered he enjoys cuddling and belly rubs (a development his foster seems very pleased about), loves being brushed, and is food-motivated enough that leash training is going well with the right treats. He's good with other dogs and kids, and is just a sweet, easygoing puppy who happens to come with a very attached sibling. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Story
Rusher is Fixin's brother, his best friend, and the one with the bigger appetite of the two. He is heavier than Fixin. He is not apologetic about this, nor should he be. He's playful, food-motivated, and doing well with leash training when Fixin is training alongside him. Solo? He gets a little nervous and uncertain. He whines when Fixin is outside getting bathed while he's stuck in the pen. He is, in the most endearing way possible, deeply committed to his brother. He's great with kids and other dogs and is a sweet, enthusiastic puppy who would do best in a home that either takes both brothers or has another calm dog to help him build some independent confidence. -----
