Story
Adopted from Tacoma Humane society and tried to work with him to get along with our other older dog. They are constantly wrestling through house and outside in yard. On his own, is calmer and will play with toys and with you as owner. Approximate birthdate 5/14/2023. Sweet dog and wants to please. Lots of energy and needs walking. Responds well to authoritative voice commands. I am not sure he would be a good fit with kids even teens. Needs to be only dog in home as he has a hard time sharing attention with other pets. Very smart- can sit, down, shake, stay for short time, will go to crate or sleeping pad in TV room with command of "box". Needs consistent commands to allow him to relax and be his best. Is crate trained and I will supply crate. Is house broken and once you know his tell, you know when he needs to go out. Likes to snuggle next to you on couch. Is not food protective with people. Up to date on vaccines as of 10/2024 ( will provide records), negative fecal test 10/2024.

Hi, my name is Commander and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Mar 23, 2024. I’m all about being close to you—snuggling up or even sharing your pillow, if you’ll let me! I’m a big guy, though, and sometimes I forget just how big I am, so get ready for lots of love. On walks, I like to take my time, sniffing everything and making sure everyone knows I’ve been there. Tug toys are my absolute favorite, and I love a good game!

Story
Adopt me? Foster me??? Name: Sweetie About Sweetie: Meet Sweetie, an 11 month old Pittie with a heart of gold. This sweet girl is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and full of youthful personality. She is incredibly trainable and loves to play. Sweetie was found tied to a fence in Federal Way back in January and has been in a boarding facility. She is on the lookout for her forever home or a foster family who can give her the love and attention she deserves. Sadly, as we approach the very busy boarding season in the next months to come, there simply isn't much availability for this sweet girl. A foster or adoptive family is urgently needed. Despite her difficult start in life, Sweetie is full of love and affection. She is eager to find her forever family and is ready to bring joy and happiness into their lives. She would do best as an only dog and with older children. If you are considering adding a furry friend to your family, please consider giving Sweetie a chance. She is sure to bring endless love and companionship to your life. reach out to www.northwestwagrescue.org ##2040764##

Rocky

American Pit Bull Terrier Husky

Male, Young
Auburn, WA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Rocky is a 2 year old who we adopted from my friend. He is a huge cuddler, loves to play, enjoys company of other dogs. He does have a behavior of food aggression which we resolved by separating our dogs when they eat. Otherwise, he sleeps and plays with them just fine. Other behaviors include separation anxiety, going bathroom in the house, jumping/overexcited with people he does not know, pulling on the leash/getting overexcited when he sees another dog on walks. I know he is a good boy. He just needs a different environment and support than what my family can offer. I think Rocky would thrive off of someone who can be with him often, having another dog is helpful for his separation anxiety but you have to condition him to not have food aggression (which the last owner did successfully).

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted Winston from the Humane Society earlier this year. We were informed that he had some trouble adjusting to prior homes he had to share with other pets. We were told that, as a couple with no kids or pets, he would thrive in the environment we could give him. While Winston was, and still is a huge cuddler, and will give lots of love, we have uncovered a few behavioral issues, some we have corrected, and others that have proved difficult to mend. These include: -Reactivity issues -Leash training(corrected) -Barking during intense excitement(corrected) -Separation anxiety -Boredom -Getting into things he is not supposed to like food/trash/couch cushions Our relationship with Winston has changed since we got him. We've had to crate train him while we are gone to avoid him tearing up our place while we're not there. We feel that this is unfair to him as he now is caged most of the day. We hope to find him a home where he can get the attention and help he needs.

Story
Biggie is approximately 3 years old, he is a sweet boy with lots of energy. He is very strong so although he is not aggressive he is not a good fit for families with small children or babies. Biggie needs a fenced in yard where he can run around when you are not home. Biggie goes potty outside. He is very lovable and needs lots of attention, so if you are home a lot he may be the right pup for you!
