I started life in South Korea on a dog meat farm, and though I still carry a few little scars from that time, my heart has healed so much. With the help of some kind trainers, I’ve learned what love feels like—and now I’m ready to share it with my very own person.At first, I can be a little shy and cautious (old habits!), but once I trust you, my sweetness shines all the way through. I become playful, happy, and full of zoomies—I’ll even make you laugh with my goofy side. I love to run, I love to learn, and nothing makes me happier than knowing I’ve made you smile.I think I’d be happiest as your one-and-only furry friend, since other dogs aren’t quite my cup of tea. But honestly? With a heart as big as mine, I’ll fill your world with more than enough love. A securely fenced yard would be wonderful for me, along with a patient person who’ll keep helping me grow braver and more confident every day.I may have had a tough beginning, but I haven’t let it dim my spirit. Now I just need someone to see the sweet, devoted, silly girl I am and say, “That’s my dog.” My name’s Darcy—and I can’t wait to make you smile too.

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.

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 thru 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.

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.

Story
Prieta is one of the SWEETEST dogs! cat and dog tested. In foster in Tumwater, WA She is a tri-pod (had to have her back leg amputated) but that doesn't stop her from leading a very full life. . She came off transport, passed a family with several young children including a toddler and just had to say hello and give them kisses! Smallish size, 38 lbs at 10 months of age so nearly full grown. We can't say her breeds but she is most certainly a black mixed mutt! lol She is super social and super friendly with everyone, children, adults dogs you name it. She loves to be with her people or another dog, but is very human centered. We truly believe, but of course we can never sweat, but with time and proper training, we think she would be able to be trained to be off leash (in safe situations) as she does thus far has shown she does not wish to be far away from you. We are working on leash training, she doesn't pull really, but since her amputation was only 6/23 she hasn't YET built up all her muscles but is doing phenomenal. She is still puppy ish and might chew something if you dont watch but amazingly she has not chewed up her bed/blankets. She really seems to love her deer/elk horns and /or yak chew. We work with an amazing volunteer at that shelter who sends up the BEST dogs. You can see some of them and/or reviews on our fb page Shayne's Fosters and/or the reviews on "Saving Kurth Memorial Shelter Pets' fb page. We believe 100% house trained but on occasion we could be incorrect, so please understand about that but she has never had any accidents since being in foster in WA. Yes we have amazing professional dog rescue transporters who bring them in climate controlled vans all over the 48 states, and yes, of course including WA state. to apply to adopt please apply using this link : https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application/ shaynesrescue.com Many Texas dogs are hit by vehicles and do not survive.:( She was one of the lucky onesm we paid for her amputation and she is doing well. This is literally the third dog, and all three were black and lab type mixes that we have received from Kurth Memorial Shelter in 2026. We reimburse the shelter volunteers for ALL medical expenses and we pay for transport, insuring all the dogs we adopt, do not require funds from them, so the little amount of funds they can generate go to save other dogs in need. How do we do it? Our founder personally pays for everything.

These pups are in Tacoma, Washington too!

Story
🐾💜Meet Daphne💜🐾 The Brave, Cuddly Former Mama Ready for Her Own Happily Ever After! Hello there! My name is Daphne, and I am a 17-pound Chihuahua mix, 4 years old. I am fully spayed, up-to-date on all my vaccines, and ready to start the most exciting chapter of my life. My story started in a high-kill shelter where I was protecting my six tiny puppies. Thankfully, we were rescued! All of my babies have found their forever homes, and now it is finally my turn to be the center of someone’s world. My Journey: From Terrified to Triumphant. When I first arrived at my foster home, I was incredibly timid, shy, and absolutely terrified of human touch. The world felt like a very scary place. But with a lot of patience and love, I have made massive progress! Today, I am a completely different dog:The Shadow: I have discovered that humans are actually wonderful. Now, I happily follow my foster family all around the house just to see what they are up to. A Certified Cuddle Bug: Once I know I can trust you, I absolutely love lots of cuddles! Getting pets and being close to my people is my new favorite thing. The Ultimate Sleep Buddy: Just like my daytime routine, I like to stay close at night. I curl up and sleep right in the big bed with my people. My Social Life & Playtime. While I am still learning to trust new humans at first, I am an absolute natural with other dogs! I feel so much braver when I am around other canines. I love playing with all the dogs in my foster home, and having a doggy sibling to show me the ropes really helps my confidence shine. My Ideal Forever Home. Because I have come such a long way, I am looking for a patient adopter who will continue to celebrate my milestones. A home with another friendly dog would be amazing to help me keep building my confidence. I promise that if you give me just a little time to adjust to your routine, I will reward your patience with total devotion, endless tail wags, and the sweetest cuddles you've ever had.I’ve done my job raising my babies—now I’m ready to be your baby.
