Story
Hi, I am Monkey! I am a happy, playful, and quirky little dog with lots of personality. I love to play with other dogs, go for walks, and snuggle on the couch with my people. I enjoy lying in the sun and being lazy, but I also get the zoomies and love to play when the mood hits me.I was hit by a car in front of my rescuer's house in May 2025 and had a fractured femur that was surgically repaired. I used to live across the street, mostly outside, but after my accident, the man who had me didn't want me back. That turned out to be lucky for me because now I'm looking for a loving forever home where I will be wanted and loved.I'm kennel trained, affectionate, and loyal. I would do great in a home with another dog and an owner who enjoys walks and snuggle time.This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.

Story
MEET ROCKY, a 1-year-old Australian Kelpie in need of a foster or forever home! Rocky is a very affectionate dog who loves both humans and dogs alike! He weighs only 40 lbs., and is a loving boy. Kelpies are intelligent dogs, believed to have been descended from Border Collies. They love to be stimulated with walks and other activities. Rocky would do best in an active home where his person or people work from home, or are retired, as he loves company. He'd also thrive in a home with another dog, though it's not a necessity. Please email for an application.

Story
**Meet Zeus – the parvo-fighting cattle dog hero who’s ready to thunder into your heart!** This dapper cattle dog mix with the flashiest white socks you’ve ever seen is a true Okanogan County survivor – he beat parvo like a boss and came out stronger! Zeus is dog-friendly, sleeps like an angel in his crate overnight, and will top out at a perfect under-40-lb size of loyal love. He missed some early puppy parties, so he starts a bit timid (think shy superhero in disguise), but win him over and he’s smitten – full-on velcro cuddles and tail-wags for days! Zeus is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed – ready to bolt from foster to forever. If you’re ready to be the human who claims this sock-wearing survivor’s undying devotion, Zeus is waiting to zap away your lonely nights. One belly rub and he’ll be your thunder buddy for life! 🐾⚡

Story
Vulpix or otherwise called Pixie is a super sweet and loving doggy. She is very affectionate and will cuddle right up to you on your lap. She is high energy and loves to run around! Vulpix loves her walks and has so much fun at the dog park meeting others dogs. She loves chewing on bones and playing with balls. But her favorite thing to do is give you a big hug. Her ideal home would be somewhere with space for her to run around, so she would be best in a home with a yard. She would also benefit from having other dogs to play with but has done well just living with our cat. Pixie is very smart and learns quickly. We have house trained and crate trained her as well as taught her some basic commands. However, before we adopted Pixie, she suffered from neglect/abuse as she was abandoned with her litter of puppies when she was found. Due to this she does have some behavioral issues, struggling with some separation anxiety and some slight aggression towards strangers/other dogs when on a wa
