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.October 11, 2026, 5:21 pm

Story
Animal Information: Charlie Girl is an estimated 12-18-month old, 40 lb now spayed female mixed breed (possibly Whippet/Shep mix) with epic ears and a fantastic temperament. She was found as a stray (with Handsome Jack) on a large ranch property and processed through COH Animal Control. She was given just 72 hrs because the shelter was beyond capacity so PAWHI stepped in and found her (and Jack) foster placement. In foster care Charlie has learned house-training, crate-training, and leash-training, is comfortable with handling, takes treats gently and shows no behavior issues like resource guarding. She is social and friendly with dogs and people including young children. She has not been evaluated with cats. This sweet and easy going girl is joining Dog Gone Seattle and we look forward to getting to know her in foster care. Foster Profile:  Meet Charlie!  Charlie is a 1½-year-old Whippet/Shepherd mix with the sweetest personality. She is affectionate, friendly, and eager to please. She settled into foster care immediately, warming up to everyone she's met with a gentle, submissive nature.  She loves playing with other dogs (of all sizes) but would also do well as the only dog in a home with plenty of love and the occasional playdate. She is crate trained, potty trained, rides well in the car, and is wonderfully quiet. Charlie is highly food-motivated and eager to learn. She already knows sit, down, and touch. At just a year and a half old, she's fast, fit, and agile, making her an ideal companion for an active family. She'll thrive with adopters who will keep both her body and mind engaged through exercise, enrichment, and continued training—she truly enjoys learning and catches on quickly. Charlie does have some prey drive outside. She was recently cat tested and was quite interested, but not agressive, and able to take cues from a confident cat. Given her interest in play/chase, Charlie might do best in a cat free home, but would likely be okay with dog savvy cats/owners.  If you're looking for a smart, loving companion who's ready for adventures and will happily soak up all the pets and affection you can give, Charlie may be the perfect match. 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 the COH Animal Control in partnership with PWAHI, where she was found as a stray. She will arriving to foster care on 6/10 and available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care. October 11, 2026, 5:21 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
Meet Cleo: The Stunning "Jiggy" Mix Who Will Give You Her Whole Heart! “Cleo isn't the kind of dog who loves everyone immediately. She's the kind of dog who chooses her people, and once she chooses you, you'll have her entire heart.” ❤️ Cleo is a sensitive, breathtakingly unique Jiggy (Jack Russell Terrier / Italian Greyhound mix) looking for her perfect, patient match. Saved from a high-kill shelter, this pocket-sized beauty is ready to find a safe haven where she can truly shine. While she is a bit of a shy wallflower at first meeting, the reward of earning her trust is unlike anything else. Once Cleo decides you are her safe haven, a completely different side of her blooms! She becomes fiercely affectionate, loves to shower her chosen humans with kisses, curls up tightly for snuggle sessions, and absolutely soaks up all the love she can get. Her Ideal Environment: Because Cleo inherits the highly sensitive nature of the Italian Greyhound, she thrives in a peaceful home with patient adopters. Per her professional behavior consultation, she requires a designated safe space—like a cozy crate with soft bedding or a quiet room away from household traffic—where she can retreat to decompress, reduce anxiety, and get uninterrupted rest. Social Dynamics & Family Life: Children: Cleo does well with children! First introductions should always happen in a calm, quiet space where kids are reminded to speak softly and let Cleo approach them at her own pace. Other Dogs: She generally gets along with dogs her own size, though she has that confident Terrier spark and prefers to be the dominant female in her environment. Thoughtful, slow introductions on neutral leash ground will set her up for success. One-on-One Time: Cleo thrives on dedicated quality time with her favorite person, whether that means a structured game, a quiet walk, or a movie night snuggle session on the couch. Travel & Vet Care Quirks: Cleo gets nervous at the vet and is prone to car sickness, so she is looking for a family willing to accommodate her travel needs. Her future adopters can help her by keeping car trips short, using natural calming aids or anxiety wraps, keeping the car well-ventilated, and avoiding feeding her right before heading out. Adoption & Application Details: Adoption Fee: $450.00 (Includes her spay, microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations). Location: Senior Dogs and Friends Rescue, Arlington, WA. How to Apply: Please visit our website at www.smallpupsrescue.org to submit an application. Tech Tip: Please fill out the online application using a desktop or laptop computer, as mobile phones and tablets can sometimes cause submission glitches.   October 10, 2026, 11:10 pm
