The oh so spirited & full of personality Slinky ended up in a death camp of a scary shelter in CA. He looked absolutely defeated & so extremely frightened. He was posted online on social media begging for his life to be saved as he was going to be euthanized. He was out of time. He was posted looking a lot thinner than he is now, he had so much fur missing & obviously neglected. We could not let him lose his life & we were the only ones who showed interest in saving him. Slinky came back to WA state from CA where he can’t wait to find a home to love him. The absolute insanity to think this amazing soul ended up in one of the highest kill shelters in CA is soul destroying. Slinky just wants to be loved. The level of absolute madness here is so deeply sad for many of these beautiful souls out of CA kill shelters. He is uncertain of new people at first, then he is your best friend once he knows you. We do know his finder did grab him quickly on the streets in CA & it was not a good experience for him & he nipped the finder because he was frightened. When we first rescued him, he ate multiple bowls of food as if he is making up for lost time. In his foster home he eats clean. Fruits, vegetables, grains, raw meat & other proteins along with supplements. He also adores a good treat which are homemade. When it’s time to eat he gets very excited & can jump high with enthusiasm over & over again & will let you know he wants his food. He does get excited now & has a big zest for life, love & adventure. This boy will look at you with so much gratitude & admiration & his foster mum said he is really such a good & smart boy. He loves everyone he meets after he knows them & enjoys being cuddled & given love. He also enjoys snuggling up on the couch & spend his day relaxing. He enjoys sleeping on the couch & sleeping in bed with you at night. If he is sleeping on the couch & a dog annoys him, he will let them know & go mad at them for waking him up. His foster mum still cannot believe someone would abandon him as he is so lovely & can be carried around & enjoys his belly being rubbed & will fall asleep while doing it. Slinky new forever home must have a fully fenced secured backyard. He enjoys going out into the backyard in his foster home & having a wander around & sunning himself. Slinky has been great with his baths because he started having them with us in his loving foster homes the moment he was rescued so he is used to them. He has also started getting used to being dried with a hairdryer. He will stand up & hug you while drying him. He has put on a good amount of weight since being in his loving foster home & was so thin when first rescued. Slinky rides beautifully in the car & enjoys a good journey & will sit in his car seat next to you with his dog friends. He also enjoys looking out the window. Slinky still needs work walking on his harness & leash & is still learning. We are looking for a forever home for Slinky where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. We are also looking for a crate free home for the little lad only. We cannot stress this enough that due to the trauma he experienced at the shelter he must not be put into a crate. He loses his mind. He was left in a cage in the shelter until we rescued him. Slinky is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him. Slinky has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs & fostered with other dogs in his foster home & does well with them & enjoys their company. He absolutely needs another dog in his forever home for him to thrive. He will play with any size dog that is up for his playing. Slinky is roughly 1.7 years old & 12.4 lbs, he is male, & possibly a schnoodle. He is now neutered & had a dental cleaning. He is microchipped, up to date on his shots, including DHPP, Bordatella, rabies & dewormed. Once these shots expire we do not redo them only rabies as we do not over vaccinate our beloved dogs. Slinky has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together. We have not had him around small children in the rescue so we do not recommend children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children. We were not there when Slinky was conceived so we do not know who his parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is. As with all of our rescues & Slinky’s friends he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Slinky potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Slinky has been through many traumas in his short time on this earth so when applying this needs to be kept in mind & for his care. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Slinky & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit due to covid & followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Slinky who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for this spirited little lad. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Slinky has an adoption fee of $850 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.

Meet Cheddar! Cheddar is a approximately one-year-old, 10-pound bundle of fluff, charm, and pure joy who’s ready to steal your heart. This happy-go-lucky little guy has been thriving in foster care alongside two humans and four larger male dogs—and he fits right in. Cheddar lives for playtime. Whether he’s joyfully wrestling or zooming around the yard, he brings enthusiasm, confidence, and just the right amount of goofy fun to every interaction. Even better, he keeps things friendly and respectful, making him a fantastic companion for other dogs. He will most likely be happiest with another dog in the home. Being an only dog does not seem his preferred situation. He’s also impressively easygoing when it comes to mealtime. Cheddar shows no signs of food aggression—all five male dogs eat together in the same space without any issues. That kind of calm, social behavior is a huge plus in a multi-dog home. Cheddar is the perfect balance of energy and affection. When he’s “on,” he’s all in—full-speed play, tail wags, and pure zest for life. When he’s “off,” he melts into a total cuddle bug, happily curling up in your lap, on the couch, or beside his furry friends. He’s also a world-class love distributor—Cheddar has a hilarious habit of getting right up in your face to deliver enthusiastic kisses, making sure you never forget how adored you are. And don’t be surprised if you hear his signature little “grrrr”—it might make you pause at first, but it’s actually his adorable way of expressing total happiness when he’s getting belly rubs, scratches, or love. At night, Cheddar is a dream. He sleeps quietly in his crate all night long without a peep until morning—something he came into foster care already knowing. While many dogs in the home sleep in bed, Cheddar naturally chooses his crate, leaving his future family the flexibility to continue that routine or transition him as they see fit. He’s still working on being fully potty trained and currently wears a belly band in the house, but he’s already showing great habits overnight. With a little consistency, he’s well on his way. Cheddar is a lovely small dog with a huge personality, overflowing with love, fun, and happiness. He would make a wonderful addition to most families. The only unknowns: we’re not sure yet how he does with cats or young children under 10. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion who will keep you smiling every single day, Cheddar is your guy. Cheddar is scheduled to be vaccinated, neutered and chipped. 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!

Meet Alfie! This sweet, playful pup (about 5 years old) is full of personality and love! He’s got that “big dog energy” in a little body—always ready for fun, adventures, and a good cuddle session after. He’s super affectionate, easygoing, and loves being around people just as much as he enjoys playing with other dogs. He walks nicely on a leash, making him a great companion for strolls or outings. He’s still working on potty training, but he’s a smart boy and learning quickly with consistency and love. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and fun addition to your family, this little guy is ready to steal your heart. Alfie will do best in a home with a yard.  He is vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. 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!

Vidal is a miniature Poodle and is a smart, curious, loving little boy. This little guy is an adorable, curly-coated pup with a soft chocolate and white coat and the sweetest, expressive eyes. He has a poodle-leaning look with tighter curls, giving him that classic low-shedding, allergy-friendly coat. He’s bright, curious, and very engaged with people. He loves being near you, watching what you’re doing, and is quick to respond to attention and interaction. He seems very smart and eager to learn, and he is doing great with training. He has a playful, energetic side but also enjoys being held and snuggled once he settles. His smaller size makes him especially easy to handle, and he would likely do well in a home looking for a companion dog that is both interactive and affectionate. He has slept in a laundry room and at night in an xpen. Vidal goes potty right when you go outside. He still has some accidents inside on pee pads as well as the floor. But the awareness when he goes outside that it’s time to go potty is there. He is a quick learner with positive support. He is good with other dogs, children, and cars. Did well in the car, does well with water (baths), plays well with other dogs (only tested with one other dog his size), and great with kids. Vidal would make a wonderful family dog. -----

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.
