Story
If joy had ears, they’d look a lot like Brooklyn Cherry. This happy girl brings the kind of upbeat, feel-good energy that makes everyone around her smile without even trying. She’s always in a good mood, always ready for fun, and those expressive ears just add to her already irresistible charm. Beyond her adorable looks, Brooklyn Cherry is incredibly smart, dog friendly, loves her toys, and strikes that perfect balance between playful adventure buddy and snuggly companion. Watch her video and fall in love with her amazing personality: https://youtu.be/U_TBkOb-19M?si=Nl3KaCKo5UAzVATy Brooklyn Cherry is believed to be a Shepherd mix approximately 1-2 years old and currently weighs 60 lbs. She is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Just based off looks, there are sprinkles of so many amazing breeds that it's hard for us to narrow it down without doing a DNA test (which we would love to see if her future adopters do one). We can see Rhodesian Ridgeback with her coloring and frame, along with German Shepherd with those ears, and with legs like that, she may even have Great Dane sprinkled in there too. We may never know, but regardless of what her DNA says, she is the perfect blend in our eyes. Brooklyn is dog friendly and gets along well with other dogs who enjoy and can match her play style. She’s the “roughhousing in the yard” kind of girl -playful and physical, and so much fun to watch. When dogs are confident and enjoy that same type of play, she thrives. Brooklyn has made some wonderful dog friends who she plays beautifully with. You can see her big goofy grin and those paws in the air and know she is having a blast! Brooklyn would do best in a home with a moderately playful dog that likes to play and one that also likes to hangout and relax. If you don't have other dogs, that's okay too! She would be great as a solo dog as she does not need the constant play to keep her entertained or the companionship to help her open up and be comfortable. Brooklyn is a happy social butterfly all on her own and she would love to be the center of your world. Her basics are already solid too! Brooklyn is fully potty and crate trained, and a quick learner. She already knows some basic commands, like sit and has a pretty decent recall already. Brooklyn is fairly easy to walk on a leash and will be a great adventure buddy! She does pull occasionally out of excitement or if she wants to go sniff something but is easy to correct. She aims to please and loves to learn new things too. She knows how to sit, shake, down, and can learn so much more. This girl really can do it all. With the right training and guidance, there’s nothing you can throw her way she wouldn’t be able to do. She would be the perfect adventure companion to take with you on walks, hikes, and could even make a fantastic running partner. Yes, Brooklyn can be a super fun, active, adventurous girly but she also has a calm side as well. She seems to already have some level of understanding that play time is an outside luxury. Of course, she will play indoors with a toy or tennis ball if you want her to but she is really good about finding a spot on the couch with her favorite toy and is perfectly content doing her own thing. Brooklyn's dream home would have a big backyard where she can stretch those legs, smell all the smells, and a place where she can find that perfect spot in the grass to bake in the sun. She would do best with a semi-active family that wants to take their dog with them on hikes, maybe even looking for a running partner, and also wanting a snuggly companion after a full day of adventures. She can certainly do both after she's had some form of mental stimulation. We are willing to test Brooklyn Cherry with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Story
Copper is pure sunshine in puppy form. This adorable 3-month-old girl is bursting with personality, happiness, and playful energy, and she approaches every single day like it is the best adventure ever. She is currently thriving in a loving foster home where her silly, affectionate personality has completely stolen everyone’s hearts. She is one of those puppies that makes a home feel happier just by being in it. Copper is the more outgoing of the two siblings and absolutely loves being involved in everything. If you are moving, she wants to know where you are going. If you sit down, she wants to climb into your lap. If there is fun happening somewhere, she is already there ready to join in. She has this wonderful happy-go-lucky spirit and brings so much life and laughter wherever she goes. Watch her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/ENA0mYrcuv4?si=UVfPXQtr_vmOlRs7 This sweet girl is incredibly playful and can entertain herself with just about anything. Toys, sticks, blankets, leaves blowing outside — everything is exciting to Copper. She loves running around with other dogs, bouncing through the house with goofy puppy confidence, and finding creative ways to turn ordinary moments into playtime. Watching her play is impossible not to smile at because she throws her whole tiny self into everything she does with complete joy. But underneath all that playful energy is an incredibly affectionate and loving puppy. Copper absolutely adores people and wants to be close to her humans as much as possible. She is the kind of puppy that follows you around from room to room because she genuinely just loves being part of your day. After she finishes playing, she is perfectly happy curling up beside you for cuddles and naps. She has a wonderful balance of playful and affectionate that makes her such an easy puppy to fall in love with. She is still learning puppy basics and is currently working on crate training and potty training in her foster home. She is making great progress and, with consistency and patience, should continue doing wonderfully. Like any young puppy, she is still figuring things out, but she is smart, eager, and full of love. Copper does beautifully with other dogs and absolutely loves having playmates. She would thrive in an active, loving home that wants a puppy involved in everyday life — whether that means walks, adventures, playtime in the yard, movie nights on the couch, or simply following her people around the house. She has such a social, affectionate personality and truly loves being connected to her family. There is something incredibly special about Copper’s spirit. She is goofy, joyful, cuddly, and overflowing with love. She has the kind of personality that keeps people laughing one minute and melting into a puddle the next because she is just so sweet. She is still such a tiny baby with so much growing and learning ahead of her, and she deserves a family that will cherish every stage of it. Copper is not just adorable — she is the kind of puppy that becomes your little shadow, your daily source of happiness, and a best friend for years to come.

Looking for a companion who is equal parts adventurer and world class cuddler? Meet Nash, the sleek, 48lb bundle of joy who is ready to sprint or stroll straight into your heart! Nash is the ultimate best of both worlds kind of guy. He’s got that signature bouncy, fun loving play style that will keep you smiling, but he also calm for those quiet evenings at home. Whether he’s showing off his social butterfly skills with other pups or leaning in for some quality one on one time, Nash is a balanced, well socialized gentleman who just wants to be part of your world. Watch Nash’s zoomies in action! https://youtu.be/Vw27A32mFBE Nash is a hang out dog. While he loves a good trail walk or swim in the pool, he is happiest when he’s acting as your loyal shadow. He’s the kind of dog who will happily accompany you on a 3 mile trek and then immediately look for a soft spot to lounge by your side and give you “the look” as to watch movie are we watching. He isn’t just a pet; he’s a partner in crime who is always tuned in to his person's vibe. Now, he hasn’t exactly disclosed his family tree with us yet, but we think Nash is a Black Mouth Cur mix! As a rescue superstar, his true heritage remains a mystery, but his stunning 48 lb frame makes him the perfect medium sized companion. He’s big enough to keep up with any adventure, yet compact enough to not take up the entire sofa though he’ll definitely try to tuck those long legs in for a serious snuggle once you're home! Nash has been flourishing in a foster home! He is a crate trained rockstar who sleeps soundly through the night and stays calm while his humans are away. Even better? He is fully potty trained and has been a perfect houseguest. He’s lives with other dogs and handles the hustle and bustle of a multi dog household like a total pro, showing off his impeccable manners day in and day out. When it comes to other dogs, Nash is a balanced king. He has a playful, bouncy energy that makes him a hit at the park, but he’s also incredibly respectful. If another dog isn't in the mood to play, Nash simply says cool and walks away. He would thrive in a home with another dog to wrestle with, or he’d be perfectly content as your one and only spoiled prince! Nash is a dog who knows what he likes and he’s decided that feline friends aren't on his guest list! He seemed a little too interested when it comes to cats, so he’s looking for a strictly cat free sanctuary. Nash dreams of a home with a yard where he can stretch his legs and freely "sing his songs" to his heart's content; he is adaptable enough to thrive in an apartment setting. He’s a "people person" through and through, and his ideal day involves a walk followed by a long nap. Nash is a medium energy companion, and an ideal hiking buddy for an active individual or family. In short, Nash is a sophisticated, social, and sweet natured guy who is just waiting for the right person to lead the way. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who is as well behaved in the house as he is fun on the trails, Nash is your man!

Story
**Now fostered in WA and ready for Meet and Greets** There’s something about Max that feels instantly familiar, like he already knows how to be your best friend and is just waiting for you to catch up. Happy, affectionate, and wonderfully goofy, he has that easy rhythm of dog-life and people-adoring down to an art. He welcomes everyone and, if they brought a dog with them, even better. Bouncy best friend energy, soft-hearted goofball, living each day like it might just be the best one yet. Go watch Max “Goofy Sidekick Energy” | Happy Heart, People Lover on YouTube, then come right back, because this joyful boy is the real deal and you do not want to miss him: https://youtu.be/1yMXKvCquYE Max is estimated to be around 8 months old and currently weighs about 37 lbs. He appears to be a Vizsla Lab mix, though as always with rescue, breed and birthday are our best guess. What we can promise is that he is right in that sweet, slightly clumsy, very lovable adolescent phase where everything feels a little silly and a whole lot of fun. Max is being fostered in a loving home in Renton, WA and is available for local meet and greets. In his foster home, his personality really gets to shine. He is a true people dog, the kind who happily greets everyone and then circles back for a little extra affection just to make sure you felt it. He likes to stay close, following along with whatever you are doing, content just to be part of it. He plays in that easy, happy way that never tips into chaos. Toys are a bonus, whether he is figuring them out, carrying them around, or turning them into a chew project. He enjoys games like fetch and tug, and he has lived with kids where he proved to be a fun, gentle playmate. He may pop up for a quick hello now and then, but it is all soft, excited energy and very typical for a young pup who is still learning. With other dogs, Max is polite and easygoing. He coexists beautifully with both small and large dogs and handles introductions with calm, respectful energy. He is not the center of attention in big dog groups, but in a home setting he is playful, bouncy, and sweet with his dog friends. A calm, playful companion who matches his laid-back style would suit him well. Like any young dog, Max is still learning. He is doing well with potty and crate training, sleeps through the night, and can settle in his crate during the day after a brief protest about missing out on the fun. He is smart, curious, and eager to get things right. Leash walking is still coming together and sometimes he needs a little encouragement to get going, but he is willing and improves with consistency. He responds best to gentle, positive guidance and does not need a heavy hand. This stage of life comes with normal puppy moments. A little distraction here, a burst of zoomies there, maybe a curious nose checking the counter if something smells interesting. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a young dog figuring things out with a good heart and a lot of enthusiasm. Max would love a home that is ready for a growing puppy who thrives on connection. A yard would be nice, but what matters most to him is having people to follow, play with, and love. He will do best with daily activity, a bit of structure, and someone who enjoys the process of watching a good dog grow into a great one. If you are looking for a happy, affectionate, slightly silly best friend who will keep you smiling and stay close by through all the everyday moments, Max is ready to step right into that role.

Story
Shredder may have a fierce name, but this little guy is really just a goofy, lovable puppy who lives for playtime and attention. This Catahoula Leopard Dog and Pitbull mix boy is around four months old and full of personality. First things first, you should definitely watch their video: https://youtu.be/J-CijmQWwyA?si=ktlOgEK9YNi9Of5m It perfectly captures their playful, silly puppy energy. Shredder is very, very extremely playful and loves wrestling and tumbling around with his siblings. Their games can get pretty wild, and they actually play pretty rough with each other in that joyful puppy way. Because of that, they need to go with owners who will be good and ready to help guide them as they grow. Shredder is the kind of puppy who seems to wake up excited about life. Every toy is the best toy ever. Every room is a new place to explore. Every sibling is a potential wrestling partner. He’s playful, curious, and always ready for a good time, but he also has a very sweet side. He enjoys attention from people and will happily soak up pets when he’s taking a break from his busy puppy schedule. Shredder will do best in a home ready for an active, playful puppy and excited about helping him grow into the wonderful dog he’s meant to be. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
