Story

Duck is a lovable whirlwind of a dog. His favorite people get more wiggles than his body can contain and he will literally never stop playing fetch. He also has a calm side: Duck will not complain if you have to skip a walk, and he is happy to lounge around during down time. He is loyal, and well-trained on and off leash. A fantastic walker and a dreamy hiking companion, he also responds quickly to commands like stay and place. Despite our best training efforts and management, Duck is not happy in a home with our two young children (3 and under). He has growled and snapped at them unprovoked, and seems overstimulated. Heartbreakingly, he needs a calmer home life with more attention and dog experience than we can provide. With a person/people that can give him focus and attention, Duck will thrive. Age: 5 yrs (January 2021 estimated birthday) Breed: Pit/Golden Retriever/Australian Shepard mix Color/Coat: Apricot, medium-long hair Weight: 50 lbs

Story

We adopted Timmy in 2019 back in Washington state. They were guessing that he was between 3-5 years old when we got him. He's been a great dog. He's super laid back, doesn't bark, great with other animals, great with young children. We're moving soon and unfortunately unable to bring him. The hard part is that he's recently developed a couple tumors, one large one on his chest near his right leg. It's been determined by Banfield that the tumor is just 'fatty', but the tumor has caused a couple of potential rehoming attempts to fall through. He is still in great spirits and appetite is normal. We would love to see him in a new home rather than going back to a shelter at his age.

Story

Lucy turns 3 on July 2nd 2026! She is a bright light filled with energy and joy! She’s a happy girl who is faithful and protective over her people. When meeting somebody new, she’s a barker, but the moment she familiarizes herself with the individual, they’re her new best friend for life. She loves to play fetch, go on hikes/walks, play with other dogs (and cats), and loves being the center of attention. An ideal family for her would be one that can actively meet her needs- a big one being exercise, and if you have land and another dog for her to play with that would be a plus! She’s been through obedience training and knows how to sit, lay, shake and spin. She is very dear to our family but with a newborn on the way we just don’t think we can offer her the life she deserves so with heaviness in our hearts we are hoping to find her the right family that she can thrive with. :)

Story

We are rehoming our 8-month-old puppy to a loving and responsible home. He is extremely sweet, affectionate, and very friendly. He has been professionally trained, responds well to structure, and does great with other dogs and people. He occasionally attends Animal House Puppy Daycare and has done very well in that setting. He is playful, smart, gentle, and eager to please. We are looking for a home that can give him time, attention, and continued structure to match his energy and maintain his training. He would be a wonderful companion for an active individual or family. There is no rehoming fee; our priority is ensuring he goes to a safe, stable, and loving home. We are willing to travel for the right fit. He will come with a large dog crate, food and water bowls, electric food dispenser, leash, grooming supplies, AirTag keychain, vet records, some food, and his favorite chews; all included for free.

Story

Luna is a gorgeous blue merle Mini Aussie (~27 lbs, 7 yrs) with a striking blue crescent moon in her brown eyes and fluffy coat. She has been with us since age 1. She is smart, loving, and full of life. Highly intelligent, she needs mental work or a job to stay balanced and happy. Affectionate, relaxed after exercise, great with people, excellent at boarding, shines at dog parks, and loves frisbee catch. Fully vaccinated with solid obedience training. As a herding breed, she has protective instincts and may nip/herd when stressed. She thrived on our half-acre but struggles with younger kids in our blended family, with a few minor bites in high-stress moments. She would excel in a calm home with older kids (or none), experienced herding-breed owners, plenty of space, and purpose (herding, agility, hikes, tasks). We adore her and want her to have her happiest life. Would love to get updates/photos for our 12-year-old girls. Perfect for an active, experienced owner with space.
