Story
Louie’s legs are as long as his hopes for lap-dog life are high! Estimated to be around 8 months old, this leggy little black-and-white cutie boy appears to be a Rat Terrier/ Jack Russell mix but of course, with rescue dogs that is simply our best educated guess. His adorable spotted coat, impossibly expressive face, and ears that somehow manage to stand up in perfect little triangles while still flopping around when he runs make him look like he walked straight out of a children's storybook. Add in his joyful personality, and you've got a dog that's very easy to fall for. Go watch Louie Longlegs on YouTube, then come right back to read more. His video is the perfect introduction to his playful spirit, sweet nature, and the delightful charm that follows him wherever those long legs take him. https://youtu.be/da0e4WC6yRE Louie is being lovingly fostered in a home with other dogs, where he has proven himself to be a wonderful little companion. He loves having dog friends to play with, happily shares toys, enjoys splashing around in the water, and approaches life with the kind of happy curiosity that makes every day a little more entertaining. He can be a touch shy when meeting someone new, but don't expect that stage to last long. A little sweet talk and a yummy treat leads to a belly rub request and suddenly you're one of his favorite people. Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate side shines. He loves giving kisses and firmly believes that those wonderfully long legs qualify him for full-time lap dog privileges. Louie has lived with children before and has done beautifully. He is gentle taking treats, enjoys being part of the family, and has the kind of playful personality that fits naturally into an active, fun-loving household. Whether the kids are tossing toys in the yard or everyone is relaxing together after dinner, Louie is happy simply being there. He's also a great little road trip companion. He rides well in the car and is always ready to see where the day leads. He's the kind of dog who seems to find fun wherever he goes. Because Louie is still a young dog, he is continuing to polish his leash skills. He already has the basics down and is eager to learn, so with a little consistency and positive reinforcement, he'll continue growing into a wonderfully well-mannered companion. Louies love of the sprinklers and rolling in the grass would be perfectly happy living house with a yard life and because he can occasionally bark to let you know someone is at the door or he heard something, Louie is not for apartment life. It isn't constant or excessive, but shared walls probably wouldn't appreciate his enthusiasm for neighborhood updates. If you're looking for a cheerful little sidekick with a playful heart, an affectionate nature, and enough personality to keep you smiling every day, Louie is ready and waiting for you! If you think Louie Longlegs might be your perfect match, we'd love to hear from you.

Story
** Currently fostered in Port Angeles, WA ** This sweet, prancing prince is Rigger, a loving and energetic young fellow. Nice humans are a new thing for Rigger, so he's timid in new situations and with new friends. But he doesn’t take long to warm up and give the most tender kisses. His mind and body both run at about ten times the speed of everyone else's, so he's basically a turbo-charged love machine. He can sneak in ten licks before you even realize he's in your lap! Watch him in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOC2JUp3IGI A smart boy who is willing to please, Rigger is potty trained and crate trained. He is quite motivated by food, which is a great training asset! So far, he knows "kennel" and "sit" and is enjoying learning more. Rigger is submissive with his foster mom and his two pittie foster brothers. But he is still full of sass! He loves to play with dogs more than twice his size, as long as they’re gentle and kind. He enjoys chasing, being chased, and ferociously thrashing stuffies and crinkle toys. And he loves a tasty bone to chew. He's quite athletic and graceful, trotting with high steps or leaping through the grass. This devoted pup follows his foster mom or his favorite foster brother around the house and yard. He is always happy and spunky, with oodles of love to give. We believe he’s a year-old rat terrier, though with rescues we’re never sure, of course. He weighs just over 20 lbs and is slowly gaining weight. Rigger has a journey ahead of him; he needs to discover the world and his own fortitude. He’s already come a long way in the short time he’s been in our care and we can't wait to see him build more confidence. Rigger's adopter will need to continue working with him on socialization. He is looking for a home where his human is around most of the time, with no small children, and plenty of opportunities for rigger-ous exercise. This boy needs to play a few times a day. He makes his own fun with toys if no one will play with him, though he sure prefers a playmate. He would love to live with other dogs. We don't know about cats, though, as he hasn't met any yet. If you think sweet, snuggly, timid Rigger is the right fit for your family, visit his adoption page: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a3c3f7f292bcc77010ea377 Questions?

Meet Beacon ❤️ Some dogs seem to fit effortlessly into every situation, and Beacon is one of them. At just 19 pounds and 1 years old, Beacon is thought to be a Corgi/Rat Terrier Mix and is the perfect little sidekick. He’s friendly, affectionate, and always happy to be wherever his people are. Whether you’re heading out on an adventure, visiting friends, or spending a quiet evening at home, Beacon is simply happy to be by your side. Beacon absolutely loves people and gets along beautifully with every dog he meets. He’s social without being overwhelming, playful without being rowdy, and has an easygoing personality that makes him a wonderful companion. He also did great during his cat introduction, showing calm, respectful manners. Beacon would also do well in a home with children as he's playful and sweet with everyone he meets. Don’t let his small size fool you—Beacon has a huge heart. He loves to snuggle just as much as he enjoys exploring, making him the perfect balance of adventure buddy and couch companion. He settles in easily, adapts well to new situations, and has the kind of temperament that makes everyone fall in love with him. Beacon is also developing excellent habits around the house. He keeps his sleeping area clean overnight and has been a very tidy houseguest, so we expect him to transition smoothly into a home with a consistent routine and positive reinforcement. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who is friendly, adaptable, affectionate, and ready to be part of every chapter of your life, Beacon may be the perfect match. Sometimes the very best things really do come in small packages. Beacon's adoption fee is $295 and he's neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Apply to meet Beacon today!

Story
Malekai is a unique little guy with a beautiful colored birthmark in his eye. Vets assured me that it is a birthmark as he has good vision at his age. He loves to play fetch. Can be high energy but will also have down time. He loves to cuddle and loves pets. He has allergies. Kai had parvo as a puppy but is now well just he is an allergy pup. Has very sensitive skin. He is 8yrs old now and I just don’t have the means to take care of him. As I’m dealing with a lot of health issues. I adopted him when he was only a few months old from the humane society in San Antonio Texas. Malekai is potty trained and as much as I would hate to give him up for adoption. But I understand I can’t meet his needs. I just want him to be well taken care of in a loving home.

Story
Zoey was adopted as a puppy and unfortunately has been returned at 3 years old at no fault of her own but the adopter ended up in a situation and it was best for her to find a better stable home. She is crate and house trained and very sweet really bonds hard to her person, great with other dogs but submissive and this can sometimes get her on the wrong end, specially since she doesnt think or understand the other dogs cues all the time. She lived with dogs and cats. She is 38lbs but should be 35lbs max. Travels well in the car would do best in a home that isnt super loud or crazy. The photos are current and some older from when she was a baby, her DNA results will be in photos shortly also. Her litter was batch tested with Embark breed + health test and cleared for genetic markers. She is currently fostered in Portland OR. If interested please fill out and submit an application online at Softpawsrescue.org and send in home and yard photos for consideration to adopt. We like to do 2 week Foster to Adopts on adult dogs, puppies are adoption only unless there are certain situations, so the dogs don't have to move around as much and they can bond and make sure they fit into your home before completion of adoption. Dogs adoption fee's will include vet visit/exam, spay/neuter, microchip, blood work up/dental if vet says it is needed, dewormed, up to date on shots (DHPP and Rabies, Bordetella can be done if requested we don't do it normally as we don't have the dogs in boarding, dog parks or high risk locations), current on 1 dose of flea treatment in case they brought any with them from CA.  If anything isn't mentioned that you don't see but is normally done please ask. Puppies get 2 DHPP Vaccines and 2 dewormers while in our care. ##1613672##
