Story
Anastacia: The Reluctant PrincessAnastacia has not yet decided what she thinks about strangers.This is not because she is unfriendly. It is because, as any sensible princess knows, one should never hand out royal privileges too quickly.When Anastacia meets someone new, she prefers to observe first. She watches. She thinks. She gathers information. Then, little by little, she decides whether you seem worthy of her friendship.Fortunately, Anastacia's standards become much easier to meet once she gets to know you.Additional evidence that Anastacia is, in fact, a princess can be found here: https://hope4lapawz.org/wp1/anastacia-2026043D.Underneath her careful introduction process is a sweet, playful puppy who loves toys, enjoys adventures, and considers splashing in water to be one of life's greatest inventions.She also adores other dogs and would happily spend her days running, playing, and inventing games with her canine friends. In fact, Anastacia firmly believes that every kingdom should include both toys and playmates.Like all young puppies, she is still learning about the world. Every day brings new discoveries, new experiences, and new opportunities to practice the important skills of being a happy family dog.Anastacia's story began under difficult circumstances. She and her family were found searching for food, hungry and struggling to survive. Thankfully, those days are behind her now.Today, Anastacia is focused on much more important matters: collecting toys, making friends, taking naps, and finding the perfect family.Preferably one willing to recognize her royal status.After all, every princess deserves a kingdom of her own.This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.

Story
Meet Digby - such a sweet and smart boy! Digby was originally from Louisiana, where he had been in a shelter with his brother and sister. He is settling in well in his foster home in Seattle. He is initially a little bit timid with new people and dogs, but warms up quickly. He's starting to show a playful side and is interested in playing with his foster pup siblings. He has already gotten the hang of potty training and will go to the door when he needs to go outside. He sleeps through the night in his crate.  He is a pretty quiet boy, but does alert bark when someone comes to the door or he hears a noise. He is starting to work on leash training. Digby has received his first round of vaccines, is microchipped, and will be neutered as part of his adoption agreement when he is between 8-12 months (this is not optional). His adoption fee is $525. 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
Animal Profile: Hugo is a 2-year-old, 13-pound Rat Terrier mix with a big personality packed into a small frame! This cheerful little guy is full of spunk and loves to play. Sadly, Hugo found himself at risk in an overcrowded shelter simply because there wasn’t enough space. But despite it all, he never lost his happy spirit or wagging tail. His playful energy and friendly nature shine through in every interaction. Foster Update:  This spirited 2-year-old Rat Terrier mix joined our rescue last November and has been making impressive progress ever since. Early on, Hugo showed some bitey behaviors around handling and resources he wasn’t ready to share, but with the help of a dedicated foster team and professional training, he’s come a long way. Hugo has spent months working with a balanced trainer and has really thrived. He loves learning, enjoys training sessions, and is always up for playtime. He’s an active, outgoing little guy who would do best with someone who can continue to engage both his body and mind. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and rides well in the car. Hugo can be a bit vocal when he gets excited and definitely has a touch of FOMO, he likes to be part of the action! He warms up quickly to new people and enjoys making new friends. Hugo is looking for an adult-only home with experienced dog owners who understand how to provide structure and consistency. E collar experience is a bonus, but being willing to learn is a necessity. To set everyone up for success, his trainer will offer a go-home lesson and follow-up support to help ease the transition. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, recent exam with a veterinarian, and microchip with lifetime registration. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. All adoption fees go toward the care of all dogs in our rescue.  Apply Online: www.DogGoneSeattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog was rescued from Stanislaus shelter in California, arriving to foster care in Seattle on 11/13 via START. This dog will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.August 30, 2026, 2:29 pm

Please note that this dog is currently located in TX and will be transported once adopted. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. 🐾 Meet Vaquero! 🤠 **Rat Terrier Mix • Born May 15, 2026 • 7 lbs of pure puppy perfection** ### Here's what the humans have to say about me: Please note that we are a foster-based rescue in TX. All of our dogs reside in foster homes in TX. We transport them to new states once adopted. **ALL ADOPTERS MUST BE 21+.** Our adoption application can be found at **haydudeequine.org**. Now that we've gotten the boring human stuff out of the way… **HI! I’M VAQUERO!** 🐶 I may weigh only 7 pounds, but I have apparently decided that I need to fill every available inch of your heart, your lap, and possibly your home. I am a **Rat Terrier mix puppy**, which means I come with an impressive combination of adorable, playful, curious, and just the right amount of *“What’s that?! I MUST INVESTIGATE!”* 😂 I love wrestling with my brothers, chasing toys, exploring everything I can possibly find, and generally making sure nobody in the house gets too comfortable. I believe puppies should be busy. There are toys to chase! Things to sniff! Brothers to tackle! But after all that important puppy business, I am very happy to clock out and report for **snuggle duty**. ❤️ Give me a warm lap and a cozy spot, and I will happily curl up in your arms for a nap. I am basically a tiny adventure buddy who comes with a built-in cuddle setting. I'm also doing **really well with my potty training** and am eager to keep learning. I'm a smart little guy, and with a family willing to keep teaching me, I'm going to make an excellent companion. I get along wonderfully with **dogs of all sizes** and do well with **cats**, too. I love people, I love adventures, I love playtime, and I REALLY love being loved. So whether you're looking for a hiking buddy, a playmate, a couch potato, a professional snuggler, or someone who will make you laugh approximately 47 times a day… **Vaquero has submitted his application for the position.** 🐾 I'm small right now, but I've got a **BIG personality and an even bigger heart**. All I need now is a forever family to grow up with. **Come meet me. I have a feeling we're going to be best friends.** ❤️

Story
Dapper 12-year-old Jax is an active and smart boy who will be a wonderful companion for the right person! Jax is a 25 lb. rat terrier. He is in excellent physical condition after beating cancer (a mast cell tumor on his belly)! Jax loves sunning himself, walking, jogging, playing with stuffed animals, and playing fetch. He gets along well with small dogs and calm large dogs. He has been very nice to his foster siblings but can be protective of his space and might correct another dog who touches or steps on him with a yowl and small snap. He is protective of his body and needs to wear a muzzle to be physically handled. Jax would be good as a single dog or with a respectful, smaller dog. Jax should not live with cats or other small pets. He also has a bit of anxiety, which has been greatly reduced with a stable schedule and increased exercise, but if unchecked can spiral into bouts of barking. Jax barks at the door when he needs to go out and is perfectly house-trained. He can be trusted to be free indoors and doesn't get into the trash, counter-surf, or chew items. Jax may seem tough, but he has a soft, loving heart for someone willing to take the time to understand him. See more photos of Jax at  https://imageevent.com/newrattitude/jax 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 9, 2026, 11:01 pm
