***MUST SUBMIT APPLICATION before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thank You for your cooperation***
Please read listings fully to the end before applying for one of our beloved rescues.
WE ARE NOT A SHELTER; WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS.
Please do not contact us to look at a dog. We will contact you once we have reviewed your completed application if we think your home might be a good fit. A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog.
We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes in WA state, but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA.
Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Zelle, or cash. We no longer accept PayPal because of the percentage they take & their fees.
The call was put out for the need from multiple commercial breeders who needed some of their dogs gone, at a cost of course in the midwest. Of course they always want money for the dogs & of course once we know about them we are not leaving them & do what we have to do to help them. But despite where they lived in a shed & were going to be used to make money off their backs, they were all still very sweet & friendly. But Frasier, he was so lovely & grateful to get the hell out of the cage he was caged in 24/7. His life was instantly changing in that moment & only for the better. On this day we rescued Frasier & 10 other innocent souls who would have spent their lives being breeding machines in cages all to make money off their backs.
Now the real healing, love & devotion could begin & show Frasier how he is supposed to be loved & adored in a loving forever home just as he is in his foster home.
Frasier a moyen poodle & his friends & 2 siblings were bought back to the WA state where he is now so happy to be here & can’t wait to find his new loving devoted forever home.
Frasier is so full of life, love & energy now. At first going into his first foster home he had no clue as to what was going on. But once he realized he had all this space to run around in he had the time of his life. For everything he has been through his foster mum said he is a sweetheart. He would be slow to warm up to a new environment but once he is comfortable & loved he would be so happy.
We held onto Frasier because we thought something was just not right & both of his siblings got adopted.
One morning they woke up & Frasier was crying out. Nothing had happened at all as he was asleep on the bed. Quickly realized it was his leg. He was taken immediately to the vets where he had x-rays & it was discovered he had an old fracture on his front leg that had been there for who knows how long? So the long process began of countless vet visits with putting him into a splint with countless extremely expensive vet visits for bandage changes. Frasier of course did not enjoy going to the vets & would be so excited to leave there. We found out he was having an allergic reaction to the bandages & was causing him to have a reaction & skin problems & sores & had to have antibiotics.
His leg healed & now you would never know this happened to this beautiful soul.
Frasier is playful & loves you so deeply. He adores his foster mum & stands on his back legs & hugs her & looks straight into her eyes. He loves his foster mum & prefers her over his foster dad.
He is smart, he can put his paws on the counter & his face & eats things off the counter. He can run up & down hardwood stairs when it’s time to go to bed, he will want to sleep with you or in bed with his foster friends.
Frasier lets you pick him up & lets you give him kisses & hugs & enjoys it. From the day we got him he was nothing but so sweet, loving & affectionate & would just snuggle into you. The reality is, his foster home is his real first experience at being in a home, with a tv, bedding he can snuggle up in, a roof over his head that’s not outside.
In his foster home he eats a clean raw diet. He eats raw proteins, fruits, vegetables, grains along with supplements & is thriving on them.
He also adores collagen sticks & bully sticks.
He is good with his baths & being dried by the hairdryer.
He adores comfy beds & big comfy blankets because again the reality is, this is something he did not get to experience ever until he was rescued.
He is such a fun boy who just wants to be loved & to make up for his start to life once you have built that repour with him.
He would still need work walking on his harness & leash because in his foster home he gets to go outside in a fully fenced backyard but does not enjoy staying out there.
He does not discriminate against breeds. He has always been with other dogs & adores other dogs & they make him feel comfortable & confident.
Frasier is a wonderful car rider & enjoys going in the car & has gone in the car countless times with his foster family & to & from the vets. We are looking for a crate free home for this little lad only. He spent the first part of his life confined for breeding. Frasier as you can imagine spent such a long time in a caged environment. He loses his mind if he is put into a crate & starts crying to get out. Who could blame him? We are also looking for a forever home for Frasier where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. When they find someone who treats them as they should be treated & loves them they get so attached to them.
Frasier is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him & never give up on him.
Frasier has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes in the rescue & in his loving foster home & he is currently with other dogs & adores other dogs. He absolutely must go to a forever home with a dog or dog’s present in the home for him to thrive in. Please do not apply saying your neighbors have a dog or family members or you will take her to places where there are other dogs. That will not work, another dog or dogs is mandatory along with a fully fenced backyard if it’s a freestanding dwelling.
Frasier is roughly 38 lbs & he is almost 2 years old & a Moyen poodle. He has put on all his weight since being in his loving foster home. He was treated for an old fracture, countless bandage changes & vet visits. We come to find out he was allergic to the bandages which was also causing problems under his bandage with iteration & a reaction. This poor boy did not enjoy going to this vet’s office & was in distress while there & would get nervous & frightened while there each time. What he is mixed with we are not sure, male, he is neutered by laser, microchipped, had his shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, rabies & dewormed. Once these shots expire we will not redo them as we do not over vaccinate our beloved dogs & will only redo the rabies.
We have spent far more on Frasier with paying for him from a commercial breeder. Bringing him to WA with his travel/flight costs, his transportation to WA. All of his medical care in WA etc & bringing her to WA than his adoption fee comes close to covering. His adoption fee does not even cover one eighth of what we have spent on Frasier.
Frasier 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 have not had him around small children in his current loving foster home. But it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats. So we do not recommend children.
We were not there when Frasier 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 & Frasier’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 Frasier 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.
Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Frasier & 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. Or you waste this rescues time, will 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 via Zoom due to covid & followed by a meet & greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Frasier who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for this special sweet 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.
Frasier has an adoption fee of $850 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what she has been through.
