Story
Meet Sammy! He and his brother Mochi came to us from Yakima at only 5 weeks old. Both boys are thriving, curious, and so playful! They sleep all night and are doing exceptionally well at going potty outside. Mo is slightly more sassy and Sam loves to cuddle, but both will be the best family pets. They have met cats and elementary aged children with great success, and they love to play with the resident dogs in their foster home. Their great passions are eating and wrestling, then passing out for a long nap. These pups will be ready to head off to their future homes at 8 weeks old. They are tiny - less than 2lb each, so will stay small as adults. Puppies this small need lots of structure and socialization to become happy and confident dogs. The pups have received their first round of vaccines, dewormer and microchips. They will be neutered as part of their adoption contract between 6-10 months of age - this is not optional. Their 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
Barfi and Jhaakas are kind of a package deal…or at least, we’d prefer it that way! They love each other, they're both available, and why only opt for one cutie patootie when you could have two? Barfi is the adventurer of the pair. She loves to run and play, and takes a little extra time to decide if a new person is worth her trust. But once she decides? Kisses. Many kisses. Jhaakas, meanwhile, is the cuddlebug. He’s still very much into playing and running outside, but happiest when he's close to his person and keeping tabs on where everyone is at all times. Together, they’re the perfect little duo: one who will keep you on your toes, and one who will keep you company while you catch your breath. Both were a little skittish at first, but warmed up fast. Once they're comfortable, they’re completely, entirely yours. They look at their people like they're the whole world. They're food motivated and fast learners, totally unbothered about eating near each other, and have been desensitized to brushing and handling. They love being outside in any weather, rain included, which we’d consider a major win considering where they live. If you've got room in your home and your heart for two, Barfi and Jhaakas are ready to be your best decision ever. -----

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.
