Story
Niabi may be a little shy at first, but give her a day, a few tasty treats, and a little patience—and you’ll discover the sweetest velcro girl you could ask for. Once she bonds, she’s all yours, happily sticking by your side through every part of the day. She tends to connect more quickly with women, while men may need to give her a bit of extra time to earn her trust. But once she feels safe, her true personality shines—happy, playful, and full of life! Niabi LOVES to play, and stuffed toys don’t stand a chance in her world—she’ll happily shred them like it’s her full-time job. She’s also got the cutest excitement hops, jumping up in the air when it’s time to eat or go potty. It’s impossible not to smile watching her celebrate the little things. She does great with other dogs and even cats, making her a wonderful addition to a multi-pet home. And when she chooses her person, she loves deeply—staying close, soaking up affection, and giving it right back. Niabi is looking for a patient, understanding home that will let her warm up at her own pace—and in return, she’ll give you a loyal, joyful best friend for life Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Animal Information: Handsome Jack (nka Jackson) is an estimated 12-18-month old 35 lb now neutered male Whippet mix with epic ears and a fantastic temperament. He was found as a stray (with Charlie Girl) on a large ranch property and processed thru COH Animal Control. He was given just 72 hrs because the shelter was beyond capacity so PAWHI stepped in and found him (and Charlie) foster placement. In foster care Jack has learned house-training, crate-training, and leash-training, is comfortable with handling, takes treats gently and shows no behavior issues like resource guarding. He is social and friendly with dogs and people including young children, though he is initially timid with men. He has not been evaluated with cats. This soft and sweet boy is joining Dog Gone Seattle and we look forward to getting to know him in foster care. Foster Profile: Jackson needed a few days to adjust to life on the mainland but he settled into his foster home in stride, seamlessly blending into the pack including several other dogs and kids. He's even respectful of the cat! He's picked up house training and crate training like an old pro and is gaining confidence every day. Jackson is very dog oriented and loves to romp with his dog friends. He will need at least one canine companion in his adoptive home, and he might do better in a pack. He is a soft and sweet natured boy who will bond with people once rapport and trust is established. We anticipate he'll love to chase things once he gets comfortable! He hasn't shown any unwanted behaviors, just an all around good Hawaii dog who crossed the pond to find a forever.  Adopter Profile: Fenced yard required Companion animal required Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, heartworm test, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166). Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog was transferred from PAWHI in Hawaii, where he was a stray intake to COH Animal Control. He arrived to foster care 6/10/2026 and is available for adoption in the greater Seattle area.November 4, 2026, 3:19 pm

Story
Animal Information: Trixie is a 9.5 year old sighthound/terrier mix with a gentle, sensitive nature. Her world recently changed when her owner of nearly 8 years could no longer care for her due to a medical crisis, but through it all she has remained a sweet and loving dog.  On walks she is calm and non reactive, and she really enjoys being outside. Although she had been spending much of her time in a crate, she has done so well in her foster home and has settled right back into a normal routine. Trixie is friendly with everyone she meets. She can be a little unsure in new places at first, but she warms up quickly and will start leaning in for affection before long. She is house trained, crate trained, and rides nicely in the car. Trixie would fit into many different homes and is ready to find a place where she can feel safe and loved again. Foster Profile: Trixie is a sweet girl, looking for someone who would love to give an older girl a great several years of life! She still likes to play and enjoys walks and loves her people. Trixie would prefer to be an only dog in the home, but has been fine with other dogs in public. Trixie is currently being fostered with other dogs in the home and is doing fine, but she is not a fan of small dogs in her space. Trixie does great in a car and in a crate and is house trained. She's a goofy gal with Lots of life left in her! She's great on a leash and will steal your heart. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $400 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian.

Story
THE VIP EXPERIENCE: Are You Ready to Be Cleo’s "Chosen One"? If you love a dog who makes you work just a little bit for her affection—knowing the payoff is a fiercely loyal, snuggly best friend for life—Cleo is looking for you! Meet Cleo, a breathtakingly unique, pocket-sized "Jiggy" (Jack Russell Terrier / Italian Greyhound mix). Cleo isn't a dog who hands out her love to just anyone on day one. She doesn't do superficial greetings or fake enthusiasm for strangers. Cleo is an exclusive-membership kind of girl. But once you earn her trust and cross that velvet rope into her inner circle? A completely different side of her blooms, and she will shower you with her entire heart! We’ve leaned a bit too much into her "independent, cat-like" description in the past, but make no mistake: Cleo is a deeply loving, velcro-loyal dog once she knows she's safe. She is ready to find that one special soul person who appreciates a sensitive, brilliant little dog. ✨ The Cleo VIP Perks (Once You're Selected): The Ultimate Snuggle Buddy: When she decides you are her safe haven, Cleo transforms into an absolute lovebug. She will curl up as tightly as possible against you, shower you with kisses, and soak up every bit of one-on-one couch time. The Terrier Spark: She has that fun, confident Jack Russell personality wrapped in an elegant, sensitive Italian Greyhound body. She loves structured games and dedicated quality time with her favorite human. Polite & Family-Friendly: Cleo does really well with children! They just need to understand her VIP status: introductions should be calm and quiet, allowing Cleo to approach them at her own elegant pace. Cleo's Perfect Sanctuary: A Peaceful Household:  Because of her sensitive Italian Greyhound roots, she thrives in a low-traffic home. Her behavior consultant recommends giving her a designated "safe suite"—a cozy crate with plush bedding or a quiet corner where she can take uninterrupted royal naps. Dog Dynamics:  She happily coexists with dogs her own size, but she does have that confident Terrier leadership spark and prefers to be the dominant female queen of her castle.   The "Staycation" Lifestyle:  Cleo gets a little carsick and nervous at the vet, so she prefers a homebody lifestyle. She’s looking for a family who will keep car trips short, use natural calming wraps, and plan fun activities right at home or in the yard. Cleo is healthy, spayed, and waiting for the right patient match to change her life. If you want the deep, unmatched reward of being a sensitive dog's absolute favorite person in the world, apply for Cleo today! Adoption Fee: $450.00 (Includes spay, microchip, and up-to-date vaccines) Location: Senior Dogs and Friends Rescue, Arlington, WA How to Apply: www.smallpupsrescue.org Tech Tip: Please submit your application using a desktop or laptop computer to avoid mobile submission glitches!
