Story
Thelonious Monk is a beautiful 3-year-old purebred Akita, born August 24, 2023, and approximately 125 lbs. Monk is intelligent, independent, loyal and full of personality. He loves his family, toys, blankets, lounging around the house, watching out the window and the occasional Akita zoomies.Monk has lived with children and enjoys them. He can bark or howl when meeting unfamiliar people until he becomes comfortable. He previously had a dog friend but has had limited recent socialization with unfamiliar dogs, and he has never lived with cats.Monk is a runner and digger and can be destructive with bedding and toys, so he needs secure containment and someone comfortable with a very large, strong dog. An Akita or large-breed-experienced home would be ideal. I am looking for a safe, permanent home with someone who understands and appreciates this wonderful breed. He is an amazing dog our schedules just don't feel fair to keep him anymore. He deserves a great home!

LOCATION - IN SHELTER, MAIN KENNELSWatch Sana`s video here - https://youtube.com/shorts/xg_RDnUHV4Y?is=phhcrOFsVDMLcbwZSana is the queen of matching energy and an absolute joy to have around. She is gentle, well mannered, and loves greeting her people with tippity taps and happy tail wags. She has perfect indoor manners and has not had any accidents in her foster home. Her recall is outstanding and she comes running the moment she hears her name. Sana enjoys hanging out and relaxing but also lights up when you are ready to play. Her play style is respectful and she can go from excited to calm in an instant, often settling in for kisses and a nap.She loves toys, tug of war, and proudly showing off her squeaky treasures. On walks she does great with a front clip harness and is easily redirected with treats if she spots a dog or squirrel. Sana is adventurous and confident, once even sliding down a playground slide just to explore. She sleeps quietly through the night, travels calmly in the car after a little encouragement to hop in, and greets her people with endless affection. Sana is an amazing dog who adapts beautifully to the energy around her and is more than ready for a loving home.The Seattle Animal Shelter is committed to reducing length of stay for all of our shelter pets!

Story
It makes me so sad to write this, but we are looking to re-home our sweet dog Lucy. We are moving and unfortunately are not able to bring her with us. We adopted Lucy during Covid, and she has been such a wonderful family dog ever since. She is incredibly loving, totally safe with kids, loves walks, being around people, scratches, and sneaking treats under the table at dinnertime. She doesn’t get on furniture and is perfectly content laying on a blanket at your feet just happy to be near her people. Lucy does have separation anxiety and has done some significant chewing in our home over the years. She has been on and off anxiety medication, though she generally seems calmer without it. She really loves being outdoors as much as possible, she is calmest and happiest there. Our dream would be to find her a home with a fenced yard — or even some land — where she can roam safely during the day, get lots of attention, and be surrounded by love. Thank you!

Story
Hi… I’m Duri 🤍 Before I met kind people, I spent a long time on my own… without care, without warmth. I just endured each day the best I could. But things have changed now. I’ve been given a chance to start over— and I’m waiting for a family to share that new beginning with. Maybe… that could be you. People say I look strong and handsome. My thick fur, my clear eyes… sometimes I remind them of a brown husky. But what I really want you to see isn’t just how I look— It’s who I am. I like people. I really do. I’ll come up to you first, gently, hoping to connect. I enjoy being close, sharing quiet moments, feeling like I belong. I also get along well with other dogs. Being around friends feels natural to me, and I’m comfortable sharing space and energy with them. Inside me, I carry something special— the calm loyalty of an Akita, and the intelligence and quick learning of a Jindo. That means when I bond with you… it won’t be shallow. It will be deep. Steady. Unbreakable. But I’m still learning. Living in a home is new to me. Things like potty training, daily routines, and how to behave indoors—these are things you’ll need to teach me, step by step. Because I’m a strong and active dog, I’ll also need guidance on walks and basic manners. I want to do well—I just need someone to show me how. In the beginning, I might seem a little unsure. A new place, a new life… it can feel overwhelming. But if you stay patient, consistent, and kind with me, I will find my balance. I’m not a difficult dog— but I am a dog who needs understanding. Someone who won’t just “have” me, but will truly live with me. Teach me. Connect with me. If you can do that… I promise you something rare. A bond built on trust. A loyalty that doesn’t fade. A companion who stands by you, no matter what. I’ve already come so far from where I started. Now I just need a place to finally belong. No more loneliness. Just warmth… and you. Will you be my forever family? 🤍
