Story

Animal Information: Max is an almost 7 month old Australian Shepherd mix puppy currently. Max was confiscated after being found with multiple broken ribs from a suspected animal abuse case. Even with this rough start, Max appears to be a pretty normal puppy. He is a bit scared of loud noises. We are so happy to be bringing Max to the Seattle area in search of his forever family. Foster Profile: Max has been part of our family for the past four months, and he has been an absolute joy to foster. He's the kind of dog who settles in quickly, loves his people, and would make a wonderful addition to almost any home. We welcomed Max when he was about 3 months old, and he immediately became a full member of our two-dog household. He gets along wonderfully with our resident dogs and enjoys being part of the pack. Like any young pup, Max is curious and enjoys exploring, but he also has an easygoing personality that makes him a pleasure to have around. For such a young dog, Max has excellent house manners. He is fully potty trained and hasn't had a single accident in the house in over five months. He's comfortable in his crate and can happily relax for a few hours with a favorite bone while you're away. Max walks nicely on leash, has good recall, and naturally likes to stay close to his people. While he still has playful puppy moments, he's surprisingly calm and enjoys spending much of the day relaxing. A daily walk and some playtime seem to suit him just fine—he doesn't appear to be a dog who needs endless exercise to be happy. One of our favorite things about Max is his affectionate morning routine. He loves to wake us up with sweet puppy kisses, and while we enjoy our morning coffee, he'll happily curl up beside us, soaking up all the pets and snuggles he can get. It's the perfect way to start the day and a wonderful glimpse into what a loving companion he is. Max has that rare "off switch" everyone hopes for in a young dog, he enjoys his playtime but is just as happy to settle in and relax with his family. We think Max would thrive with a family or a single adopter looking for a loyal, easygoing companion. He would do well in a home with teenage children and would likely fit in with other friendly dogs, as he's done so well with ours. Max is truly a special pup with a wonderful balance of playful, affectionate, and relaxed. He's the kind of dog who will happily join you on a walk, then come home and spend the afternoon by your side. We can't wait for him to find the loving forever home he deserves.

Story

Animal Information: Venus is a female German Shepherd/Malinois mix. Venus is the roman goddess of love. She was found as a stray with her mom and 9 siblings. She had been at the Devore animal shelter for 2 weeks and was on the euth list due to space. Thanks to a Seattle area foster stepping up to take the family in, they were all saved. We will share more about Venus her mom and siblings as they settle in. Foster Profile: Say hello to Venus, our sweet 6 month old Malinois/Shepherd mix foster pup. If you’re looking for a gorgeous, loyal, and incredibly smart best friend—Venus might be your girl. She is very connected to her people, eager to learn, and already knows sit , down, shake, spin, and place (mat)—she is currently working on roll over.:) She is very food motivated and thrives with guidance and consistency. Venus does best in a calm, predictable environment. When things get too busy, she can feel overwhelmed, but she’s learning to manage her impulses and settle. She’s dog-friendly, adventurous, and a confident pup. She is potty trained, and crate trained, though she prefers not to be crated when people are home—she’d much rather be part of the action. Venus isn’t very snuggly and is still a very mouthy puppy. With her sharp teeth, she may nip while learning boundaries, so any home with kids should be comfortable with typical puppy behavior. She is currently fostered in our home with young kids and does best with close supervision with our younger one. Older kids may be better suited to handling her. She would thrive with an active person or family—think hiking, beach days, and maybe even agility in the future. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who brings fun, beauty, heart, and brains, Venusis ready to meet you. (Home with securely fenced yard and breed experience preferred.) We will not be considering apartments for these puppies Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, heartworm test, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian.

Story

Animal Profile: Rusty is a 1.8 year Aussie/Cattle dog mix dogs who joined us via our TX partner Saving Shelter Strays. She was found walking down the street in an area with no houses close by and no one came to the shelter to claim her. Foster Update: Rusty is a bright, beautiful, and loving puppy. She is so smart and curious. The outdoors is her favorite place, even when she's tired, she just wants to take a nap out in the yard (unless it's raining, then she's perfectly happy to be indoors). She is pretty shy and is working on her confidence outside of her foster home/yard, but she's made great strides, especially when she realized there are stores specifically for dogs that will give her treats when she goes in! She also loves other dogs and playing with her foster brothers. She's very smart and can get bored easily, but she learns very quickly, and she takes cues from her foster brothers to figure out what she should be doing. We are looking for a home with a fenced yard that she can explore and relax in, a canine companion as well as a family with breed and shy dog experience to help continue her confidence building We are not considering apartments for her at this time. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, microchip with registration, and health certificate. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. All adoption fees go toward the care of all dogs in our rescue.

At just 12 pounds, she's still a growing puppy with a big heart and an even bigger personality! Kim is everything you'd hope for in a puppy: playful, affectionate, and incredibly sweet. She loves spending her days chasing toys, wrestling with her sister, Sherry, and soaking up all the attention she can get. When playtime is over, Kim's favorite place is right by her foster mom's side. She's a loyal little shadow who happily follows her wherever she goes. Kim gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would love a canine companion to play with, though she's sure to thrive as the center of attention too.

She's ready to leave her past behind and start the next chapter of her life with a family who will love her forever.

Story

Luna is 6 years old and is a great dog. She's extremely smart, goofy, and is a great walker on and off leash. It's been a while but she's crate trained. We're looking to rehome because despite training for the last year she has been really anxious since our toddler started crawling. She isn't happy and her living situation is not fair for her because there's nothing we can remove from the situation to improve if for her. We made the very hard decision to let her go to a family with older kids. We have another dog that is a senior, and Luna has been attached to her since we brought her home as a puppy. That said, when we've been at the dog park she's neutral with other dogs as long as they don't try to get physical with her. We haven't introduced her face to face with other dogs since we don't have other people in our lives with other dogs. She is not aggressive but she has become reactive since her anxiety started. I'm convinced once she can relax again and be happy that'll go away.

FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet this fluffy boy, Kiko! He is a 7-year-old, 50 LB Australian Shepherd mix who came to us from an overcrowded shelter in CA. Kiko is a sweet, energetic boy who loves to be outside exploring. He is active and would love a forever home that will exercise him daily and provide him an active lifestyle. He would also do best in a standalone home with a fenced yard to explore, preferably outside the city. Kiko has done well with other dogs in our care and would be a great additional dog in a home. He would also do fine as an only dog, soaking up all the love and attention. Kiko is a very strong boy, and will require adopters that are able to handle his strength. He is also incredibly smart and eager to learn, which will make training a blast! Kiko is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $400.

Story

FOSTER OR FORVER HOME NEEDED Meet Koala! Koala is a 2-year-old, 25 lb Australian Shepherd/Spaniel mix who came to us as a stray from an overcrowded shelter. This beautiful girl is sweet, loyal, sensitive, and looking for the right person to build a strong bond with. Koala can be shy when meeting new people and takes a little time to open up, but once she feels safe and comfortable, she becomes affectionate, playful, and deeply devoted to her person. She would love nothing more than to be someone’s loyal little sidekick. She does well with other dogs and enjoys playing with them, but in a home environment she can show some resource guarding behaviors surrounding her person. Because of this, Koala is looking for confident, experienced adopters—preferably with rescue dog or working breed experience—who understand boundaries, structure, and behavior management and can continue helping her work through those tendencies in a positive, consistent way. As she settles in and gains confidence, Koala’s playful and energetic personality starts to shine through. She’s smart, observant, and forms strong attachments to the people she trusts most. Koala is looking for a patient, understanding home that will give her the guidance, leadership, and security she needs to thrive. In return, she’ll be an incredibly loyal and loving companion. If you’re experienced with sensitive, intelligent dogs and looking for a devoted little best friend, Koala might just be your perfect match! Koala is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed. Her adoption fee is $500.

Story

FOREVER HOME NEEDED (currently in foster care) Meet Rancher! Rancher is a 7-month-old, 30 lb Australian Shepherd mix puppy who is very bright and has all the potential to become an incredible partner for an active, experienced home. This handsome boy is exactly what you’d expect from a young herding breed—smart, observant, and always ready to learn. Rancher thrives when he has a job to do and loves working alongside his handler. He quickly picks up on new tasks, enjoys learning, and would be an excellent candidate for agility, obedience, trick training, or any activity that keeps both his mind and body engaged. Rancher is active, playful, and well-socialized with other dogs. He loves having canine friends and would thrive in a home with another playful, similarly sized or larger dog to wrestle, learn from, and burn energy with. He also loves the water and is always up for an adventure! Rancher is looking for a very hands-on adopter who understands the needs of working breeds. He’ll do best with someone who is committed to continuing his training, providing daily exercise, and giving him plenty of mental enrichment. He would especially enjoy a home where someone is around much of the time and can dedicate the time and consistency he needs to reach his full potential. Due to his strong natural herding instincts, high prey drive, and hard mouth when it comes to small animals, he is best suited to a home without small pets and children. Rancher is doing well with his house training and is mostly housetrained when given regular opportunities to go outside. Rancher is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $650.

Story

Animal Profile: Buddy is a 4.5-year-old Doodle (1/2 Border Collie 1/2 Standard Poodle). He was purchased from a breeder prior to his owners having children. Buddy is a friendly but slightly anxious guy who has not adjusted well to having a toddler in the home. His family invested in a 4-week board and train with a local dog trainer in hopes that it would help Buddy feel more comfortable around small toddlers. Buddy completed his training; he has excellent house and leash manners, is house trained, crate trained; and knows the ‘place’ command. Unfortunately he was still too uncomfortable around the kids after training, and his family decided it was best to find him a new home. Buddy has been trained using balanced methods, including e collar for off leash reliability. Buddy does great at doggy daycare, but does have some resource guarding around food and select toys when it comes to other dogs. While he enjoys his dog friends, we think he’d be happiest as an only dog. Buddy has not lived with cats. Buddy is currently in foster care with a balanced trainer, and doing well. Foster Update: coming soon! Adoption Info: The adoption fee is $550 which includes his neuter, core vaccinations, DPPV, Bordetella, microchip, and recent health check with a veterinarian.
