Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  MAGGIE is a people&#226&#128&#145loving sweetheart who absolutely soaks up attention. She has that classic Malamute mix of affection and independence—one moment she’s leaning in for belly rubs, and the next she’s striking a regal pose, surveying her kingdom like the queen she knows she is. She loves being with her human pack, enjoying pets, cuddles, and all the affection you’re willing to give. Daily walks are one of her favorite activities—she enjoys exploring the neighborhood and taking in all the sights and smells. She’s also a great travel buddy and rides beautifully in the car, always ready to join you on your next adventure. MAGGIE has done well with older kids, but she does like to put her paws up on people when she’s excited, so a home without small children is best. When it comes to other dogs, she can be selective—she prefers calm, larger dogs and appreciates slow introductions. After a good play session, she’s perfectly content to head home for a well&#226&#128&#145earned nap. In true queen fashion, MAGGIE prefers to rule her home with confidence and grace. She wants reassurance that she’ll get attention when she wants it, and she’ll reward you with loyalty and love. Her ideal home includes a big, fenced yard where she can relax, enjoy some quiet time, and keep watch over her domain. Indoors, she loves lounging near her people, making sure everyone is safe and accounted for. MAGGIE is currently being fostered in Manson, WA, and her foster is willing to transport her for meet&#226&#128&#145and&#226&#128&#145greets within a few hours’ drive. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion with a dash of queenly flair, MAGGIE may be the perfect addition to your family.

Fill out the form, save it to your hard drive, then email back to sian@gingerspetrescue.org Hi!  My name is Xavier from Korea and I am a wonderful approximately 5 month old  male Akita - Jindo mix.  I weigh approximately 14 lbs. and so excited to find my new forever home.  I am very happy, affectionate, smart, and friendly.  I was saved from the Korean kill shelter where I was due to be euthanized. The activists came and saved me and I can't wait to come to America and find a family to love and care for me forever.  Approximately over a million dogs a year are slaughtered to be eaten.  I am so lucky to get a one-way ticket to Seattle to find my new family.  Take me on car rides, walks in the park, and I will become your best friend.  I get along well with people of all ages, gentle kids, and other dogs.  I will do best with a loving family that can give me lots of love, and affection!  On all overseas adoption, we highly recommend our pet rescue dog trainer who will help train your new pup.  My adoption fee of $1,295 will cover my spay/neuter, DA2PP shots, Rabies, Bordetella, Deworm, Heart Worm Test, Microchip, Boarding Fees, Health Certificate and airline transport cost from Korea to Seattle.   A GPS tracker or Apple Air Tag is required for all adopted dogs.

Story
Can you help us find the right home for Benson? 🖤 Benson is a 3½-year-old Akita / Husky / German Shepherd mix with a huge heart and a deep love for his people. He’s incredibly loyal, affectionate, and takes his role as protector of the home very seriously. Once he bonds with you, he’s all in — the kind of dog who will love you unconditionally and always be by your side. He’s fully potty trained and will let you know when he needs to go out or wants to come back in. He doesn’t chew anything that isn’t his, but give him a new toy and he’ll happily destroy it. He loves to play fetch, enjoys attention, and does best when he has space to run or someone who can give him plenty of physical activity and structure. He’s up to date on vaccines and microchipped, and he’s a smart, attentive dog who really wants to connect with his person. Benson would do best in a home with a large, fenced yard or with someone very active. He needs to be the only pet in the home.

Story
Meet Rowan! 🐾 (currently in foster care) Rowan is a 2-year-old, 65 lb Akita with a heart as big as his paws. This sweet boy just wants to be close to his people—snuggled up at your side, soaking in all the love he can get. He’s perfectly content relaxing in the yard and doesn’t require a lot of activity to stay happy, though he does enjoy adventure walks, squeaky toys, belly rubs, and anything food-related! Rowan is eager to please and easy to train, making him a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates his loyal and affectionate nature. Like most Akitas, he’s a natural guardian—deeply devoted and protective once he bonds with his people. Because of this, Rowan would do best in a home without small children, as young kids seem to make him nervous and he has barked at some while out walking. Rowan has done well with other dogs in our care, and for the most part is fairly aloof and prefers his people. He would be fine as an only dog, or well suited with another calm dog in the home, ideally female. Rowan has a prey drive and will need a home without cats. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who offers both love and protection, Rowan is truly one of a kind. ❤️ Rowan is UTD on shots, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $500.

These pups are in Seattle, Washington too!

THE FIRST STEP IN OUR PROCESS IS TO FILL OUT OUR APPLICATION AT WWW.HAVENRESCUE.ORG/DOGAPPLICATIONMeet Finn.A young adult husky mix who is absolutely spectacular.He’s the dog you notice not because he’s loud, but because there is something special and unique in the fully engaged way he looks at you.

Quiet, curious, perfectly content to be your shadow from coffee runs to road trips.At home, he is the best kind of magnetic.Couch? He’s there. Bed?

Story
Momo is a loyal, intelligent 7-year-old Husky–Great Pyrenees mix who bonds deeply with her person and takes her “house guardian” role seriously. She’s affectionate at home, goofy with her favorite red Kong (she throws it for herself!), and happiest when she has space, structure, and someone who understands northern breeds. She walks well on a gentle leader and loves long, sniff-filled adventures. Momo is food-motivated and thrives in a home where food and trash are stored securely. She is crate-trained, house-trained, spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccines. She does well with dogs and kids but is not a match for homes with cats. Our family loves her very much, but due to life changes, her current environment isn’t the right long-term fit. We’re committed to finding her a stable, experienced home where she can truly thrive.
