Hi, I am Shadow,They say that black dogs have a harder time getting adopted. I am not sure why because I think black is beautiful. I am an adult around 4 years old. I have lost all that puppy naughtiness, but I still love to play and cuddle and generally be a good girl. I will need some patience because I have a lot to learn when it comes to even the basics, but I am a quick study. Oh, and treats usually help with the learning. I am an active dog who would love to go for a good run every day. If you are a hiker, I think I would love that too. I am good with leash walking; I try not to pull and stay close to you. I like to play with other dogs once I am properly introduced. I haven’t been around children much and cats are made to be chased. Only my opinion! Right now, I spend most of my time outside because my foster mom works, but when I am inside, I know not to do any business in the house that is only for outside.I haven’t had many toys, I am content with a stick or a plastic bottle. Maybe you could teach me to chase a ball and bring it back to you. That would be fun!If it sounds like we could be a family together then just fill out the application and we can meet on a Zoom call.Could I be your little,Shadow To get more information go to https://hope4lapawz.org/adopt and click on the dog's photo. There you will see any videos, more photos and details.

Story
Animal Profile: Gloria is an estimated 3-year-old 33 lb spayed female mixed breed (listed as a Rat Terrier Whippet mix) who came into the overcrowded Modesto animal shelter in early December. We tagged her when she was at risk due to length of stay. She is described as a graceful and bouncy, clever and spirited girl who looks into your soul. She was shy and shut down in the noisy stressful shelter but blossoms into a happy playful girl in the yard. Gloria tested well with other dogs male and female.  Foster Update: Gloria has settled in well and is a really cool dog!  She LOVES to snuggle up to you at all times. If you sit down on the ground she'll go directly in your lap and curl into a ball.  She walks nicely on a leash and is curious about new people as they walk by. Fitting of her breeds, she does have significant prey drive for squirrels and bunnies in her neighborhood, which does require some leash management. She has not had experience with cats, but given this prey drive she is probably best suited for a cat-free home. She is potty trained and crate trained, though she does prefer to be next to her people, so would prefer a family who is around a good portion of the day or can bring her with them to the office. She is friendly and interested in other dogs though did show some dominance tendencies toward a small dog she met recently, so may be better matched with dogs around her own size. She has been on some short runs, approximately 3 miles, and done great. We think she'll be a great pocket-sized adventure companion, and hold up to basically any outdoor activity she's asked to do.  Whoever is lucky enough to end up with this sweet girl will be getting a great companion! Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550, which includes spay/neuter, current on DPPV & Bordetella. All adoption fees are donations to a Washington non-profit corporation and all donations go to benefit the animals in our rescue.  Apply online at www.DogGoneSeattle.org Animal History: This dog was rescued from the euthanasia list at a high-kill shelter in Modesto, California and being transported via START, arriving to Seattle area foster care 1/18/2024. She will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.March 27, 2024, 12:20 pm

Story
Dapper 8-year-old Jax loves jogging, playing ball, running with stuffed toys, and taking long walks, but inside he's a sensitive soul. A sturdy 25-lb. rat terrier, Jax is a sweet boy whose behavior can be affected by anxiety. His adopter needs the knowledge and empathy to create an environment that helps him live his best life. It's something he richly deserves, for Jax is a cancer survivor, who had a mast cell tumor removed last spring and has since been found to be cancer free.   In his foster home, Jax adjusted to routines quickly. He follows the lead of the resident dogs and plays well with the other dog being fostered there. However, he's sensitive to incursions into his space, unrequested touching, or the possibility of losing valued resources, such as food or a bed. He can get into minor scuffles to protect what he considers his. New people must earn his trust before he'll consider allowing a pet or two. He doesn't like to be picked up at all and will bite if he's touched in a way the he perceives as painful or threatening. (He's muzzled if he has to be extensively handled.) On the other hand, he likes to nap close to his humans and the other dogs but does best sleeping in his own bed. He could be a single dog or live with one other dog who is independent or at least honors boundaries. Due to his moderate prey drive, Jax probably shouldn't live with cats or other small pets.   Ever since Jax started a hypoallergenic diet (cost about $50/month) to ease skin rashes and ear infections from a chicken allergy, he has seemed less anxious and more eager to cuddle. In addition, when he gets enough mental stimulation and physical exercise, he doesn't engage in repetitive barking, another manifestation of anxiety.    Jax definitely doesn't like to be crated, but he is fully house-trained and has never had an indoor accident, raided the trash, or counter surfed, so a crate really isn't needed. On leashed walks, he pulls a bit and loves to stop and sniff, but on jogs, he keeps up the pace. He'll be a wonderful companion for the person with the heart to appreciate his sensitive soul. See more photos of Jax at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/jax .Our adoption fee is $200 for adult dogs or $250 for puppies under 6 months old. If you are interested in adopting this dog, PLEASE READ THE DETAILED ADOPTION PROCESS information on our website at www. NewRattitude.org/adopt/  From there, you can access our adoption application or contact our Adoption Team for more info. March 26, 2024, 10:48 am
