Whippet puppies and dogs in Anacortes, Washington

Plum Penny may look like she just graduated from puppy kindergarten, but don't let that sweet little face fool you. Beneath those long legs, bright eyes, and impossibly petite frame is a wonderfully settled companion who has already figured out one of life's greatest secrets- everything is better when you simply enjoy being together. Equal parts elegant little sidekick, toy enthusiast, and peaceful presence, Plum easily becomes part of your daily routine and then next thing you know you can't imagine life without her. Go watch Plum Penny on YouTube, then come right back to read more about this tiny sweetheart in motion. You'll see her gentle personality and easygoing nature. https://youtu.be/PANfKoJlXKY Estimated to be around 3 years old and weighing just 26 pounds, Plum looks strikingly like a Whippet, though as with all rescue dogs, her breed and age are simply our best guess. What we know for certain is that she is delightfully petite, beautifully sleek, and somehow carries the fresh-faced look of a much younger dog. Plum has one of those calm, balanced personalities that makes life feel easy. She's confident without being bold, affectionate without being clingy, and content simply sharing whatever the day brings. Whether you're heading out for a drive, relaxing around the house, or tossing a favorite toy across the living room, Plum is happy to be right there with you. Plum gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has always lived with a canine companion. Because of that, we'd love to see her join a home with another gentle, playful dog to share life with, though she has the confidence and easygoing nature to thrive as your one-and-only as well. There's something especially gentle about Plum's presence, she isn't looking to steal the spotlight or keep the house buzzing with activity. Instead, she brings a peaceful energy, happily settling nearby, joining in when invited, and reminding you that some of life's very best companions are also the quietest. Plum is currently looking for a family to call her own.

4/30/26 pupdate from foster family: Meet Charlie, a 9-year-old Lab mix with a heart of gold and just a touch of “stranger danger” at first glance. He might start off a little shy—think “awkward first date energy”—but give him a minute (and maybe a kind word or two), and he’ll be your new best friend before you know it. Charlie is basically the social butterfly of the dog world when it comes to other pups—he gets along great with dogs and even gives cats a respectful nod. He’s fully trained (yes, he’s got manners and brains), thanks to Pawsitive Dog Training School, and his future family will get 12 free private lessons to keep the good vibes going. Whether you’re into hiking, couch lounging, or just wandering around the house pretending to be productive, Charlie is your guy. His motto? “If you’re there, I’m there.” He’s fantastic off-leash, loves being part of whatever you’re doing, and is truly just happy to be by your side. Charlie is ready to trade in his “temporary digs” for a forever home filled with love, companionship, and maybe a few treats (okay, definitely treats). If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle, slightly goofy companion who will warm your heart daily—Charlie’s been waiting just for you🐾
