Story
Hi! My name is Oscar and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by a good Samaritan on April 10th, 2024.I am considered a `medium breed` dog.I want to think that I am a very smart dog, but I get so destracted by everything around me that I need a little bit of training in order to show it.I am an affectionate lovebug who would love to show you just how much of a lover I am. Though I am more than happy to take my toys and just go play by myself. So i`m the best of both worlds, a cuddler and indepentant.I am full of energy and I love to play, play, play! I tend to calm down more when the people around me stay calm. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy.Due to my over excited behavior here in the shelter, the staff believe that I would do best in a home with older children who are dog savvy. I am a spirited dog with a fun-loving personality! I am still working on my manners, so I would do best with a family who is willing to work with me and help me become the best dog I can be!***April showers bring May flowers - and a lot of dogs at Regional Animal Services! Through May 31, you can `Pick Your Price` when you adopt an adult dog (six months or older). Adoption fees are $25, $50, $75, or $100, plus a pet license fee if applicable.***

Story
Welcome Dixie to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 9-month old Smooth Coated Collie/Kelpie is our best guess on breed. She weighs 50 pounds. She is very very loyal to her people and would be great with someone wanting a dog to go with you places or if you work from home and want a loyal partner. She is crate trained, potty trained, good on a leash and good in a car. She was found as a stray and her foster mom has been putting this girl through dog training. She is doing really good in her classes and is learning some more basic commands. She is a higher energy dog and would be great for a runner, jogger or hiker type person. She is lower on the shed scale. She has a lot of personality and would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Her best home would be with a fenced yard. She could run and play off some energy. She likes you to be outside with her as she wants to be around her family over exploring the yard all along without you. She would be fine with children as well. We like them to be 8 or older. She is up on her vaccinations, spayed and ready for her forever home. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland(Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. We can put you in touch with her foster mom after you put in and get your application approved. We can also set up a meet and greet if you are local in Texas. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org/ See her cute video.

Hi, Tomasa is my name and if you want an all around easy dog to get along with - I'm your girl! I love to swim, run, and play. I can already imagine all the fun things we could do together. But I am also very content to lay be your feet and just chill. Don't worry - I'll periodically give you my paw to let you know I'm there and available for cuddling. I don't need constant attention, but I'll take as much as you want to give.I can be a bit shy when we first meet but I warm up quickly and then we are best friends.I am still a young girl who is very curious and learning new things all the time. I getting pretty good at walking on a leash without pulling - and with your help I'm sure I'll be perfect soon! And did I mention I love treats? I already know how to sit for a treat. Being food motivated makes me easy to train. I get along great with most dogs after we are introduced, but I can be a bit vocal with dogs that I don’t know. Once we are introduced, we're good friends. In fact, I go for walks on our La Paz Malecon every Wednesday just so I can meet new dogs and people and be a social girl. If you like an all-around great dog - who has energy to play when you are ready, will chill and lay at your feet while you work, and be ready for cuddles when it's time -- I'm definitely the girl for you.If you think we could have a happy life together, then just click on the "Apply to Adopt" button. I will be waiting for you! To get more information go to https://hope4lapawz.org/adopt and click on the dog's photo. There you will see any videos, more photos and details.

Meet Bear! Bear is a big handsome boy who is very affectionate and gentle :D He was rescued from High-kill shelter that runs by city by our rescue team. Behaviours : Bear is a gentle and a lovely boy who loves people – He doesn’t have any aggressive behaviours or doesn’t bark often(He barks at breakfast and dinner because he wants to be fed as soon as possible). Even when his dog friends bother him a lot, he might express that he doesn't like it, but he wouldn't attack them. He is ok with bath and grooming, but teeth cleaning and ear cleaning aren't his favorite. Though- he won't bite you~ He is a gentle boy ;) He has a good walking manner, but he can't have long walk at the moment, because his hind legs gets uncomfortable (We're working on his diet to improve his hind leg issue). He is an adorable big boy who has gentle soul with so much love in him! He will ADORE you!! Allergy/health issues: He has no allregy issue. He is on diet and we're trying to get him more muscle around his knees, because of his hind legs. We hope losing weight will improve his hind legs :) *Please send all inquiries to @everlove8282. *Please submit your applications through the application form on our Instagram profile! Our team will carefully consider each of your applications to find the perfect forever homes for our dogs. *As all of our dogs are currently in South Korea, there will be an adoption fee of 700USD + customs fee (if applicable) for each dog.

Story
Dog Name: Fossi (Foster when we're being stern, Foss-Foss when we're talking for him, Fossman when he's being a goof) Age: Approx 3-4 years old Gender: Male Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Boxer  Good with dogs? Yes, very! see notes Good with cats? No.  Good with kids? Unknown, not recommended What is Fossi's rescue story? The adorable Fossi was saved from the euthanasia list in New Mexico in April 2023 and arrived in WA at the end of September 2023. In June of 2024, Fossi had a bullet removed from his neck. The surgeon chose to leave the second bullet in his jaw area, since his body is not rejecting it. His future adopters will understand that his challenges are a result of humans failing him. Temperment/Personality: He is extremely curious, smart, and a total goofball. He is a wonderful companion and wants to be a part of everything you do...whether that's running, cooking, going on errands in the car (he is the cutest sight in your sideview mirror), or cuddling and napping. While he is a combination of two very active breeds, he can read the room and knows when it's time to hang out! Fossi is AMAZING with other doggoes. The owner of the boarding facility he stays at loves that he is "her go-to dog who can be introduced to and play with any of the other dogs!" He would really love another pup in his forever home to show him the ropes. What does Fossi's ideal home look like? Fossi deserves a patient forever family or person who is comfortable taking people introductions slowly. While his foster dad immediately gained his trust, some men are scary to Fossi upon first meeting. If you are willing to give him the time he deserves to learn to trust you, you will be rewarded with the most loving, loyal best friend. He has great leash manners and LOVES going for walks and runs. His best life is with someone who works from home, is home often and can provide him with lots of mental and physical stimulation, or someone who is willing to take him on all their travels! He would thrive with one or more dog siblings. Fossi is currently working with his fosters and Zoom Room Tacoma on this and desensitizing him to dogs who are on-leash. Kids are currently unknown and not recommended. Apply to meet this silly, resilient, affectionate ACD mix. Adoption fee $350 Fossi's adoption fee will come with two paid training session to get him and his new family off on the best start! www.northwestwagrescue.org ##1695137##

Story
Trinks was saved from an overcrowded high kill shelter in Roswell, NM. She is approx 1 year 2 months old.  Dog Name: Trinks Good with dogs? Will need slow very careful introductions Good with kids? Unknown  Good with cats? Yes, doesn’t seem to pay much attention to my cat unless my cat gets her attention and tries to play with her.  Has experience on a leash? No, we’re working on leash training but she pulls a lot. Carrying high value treats with us to help with training has been working out well but she still cares more about bunnies than the treats. We take walks in the morning, lunch time if not too hot and in the evening.  Potty trained? Yes  Crate trained? Yes, Trinks is very comfortable in her crate and it’s her safe space. She doesn’t mind one bit hanging out in her crate while we are gone.  Where does the dog stay when it is home alone? Crate Where does the dog sleep? Crate  What does the dog eat? She is currently eating open nature turkey formula (with grains). She loves freeze dried beef liver and freeze dried duck treats the most.  Temperament/Personality: she is extremely energetic and loves to carry toys around the house. She loves people and has been super friendly with everyone she has met and immediately wants to be pet by them.  What does the dog's ideal home look like? Ideally she will live in a house with a huge yard so she can run non stop. She does laps like crazy in our yard and has never ending energy. We have been going on three walks a day and she still has enough energy to run in the backyard afterwards. She will need very active owners. She is not a lazy couch potato type of dog. From what I’ve seen of her interacting with other dogs, she would probably do best in a home with no other dogs or maybe a dog her size or smaller. She seems to be very intimidated by bigger dogs.  What are the dog's strengths? Loves to play and very good with people.  What is the dog still working on? What can they improve? She has extremely high prey drive, training on leash walking has been difficult because she constantly wants to chase birds, rabbits, and squirrels. She is also selectively dog reactive, when we’re out walking some dogs she starts growling at and others she ignores. She seems to be most reactive towards dogs bigger than her.  If your foster were a celebrity, who would they be? Some crazy Diva type   If your foster dog were on a dating site, what would their profile say?  I love outdoor adventures and wish I could spend all day walking running or hiking around. I need activities to put my mind to work and have a hard time staying still for too long.  Beach or Mountains? Mountains, Trinks would make a great hiking companion. She loves sniffing trees and plants and would probably do great on trails once she is better behaved on a leash.  Squeaky/Bouncy/Chewy, what do they look for in a toy? She loves to rip up toys but we noticed she swallows some of the pieces so we have been giving her Kongs and she loves chewing on those and getting treats out of them.  Complete this sentence “My foster wishes they had a friend with whom they could share many outdoor adventures.” What’s your foster’s favorite dessert? Everything! Trinks has not met a treat she did not like. She is extremely food motivated. Adoption $500 www.northwestwagrescue.org ##2065634##
