Story
Beau has been such a good boy for my family, he just turned 1 year old but unfortunately with some changes in our life we need to find him a new loving home. He loves to run and play and be with his people. He really needs a home with a fenced yard where he can be free to run, play, and explore and unfortunately we can not provide that for him at this time. We just want to see him with a loving family that has the time and environment to give him what he truly needs to live the happy life that he so deserves.

Story
Ray is a sweet guy with some behavioral issues. He barks at people and other dogs. He has been known to bite, but it has been over a year since he bit someone and that person was ok. He is very smart and could overcome his behavior stuff. I am recently had to relocate to a small apartment, so I simply don’t have the time or means to do this for him. He’s loving and eager to please.

Story
Annie is so beautiful, and so sweet! This 1ish yr old, 57lb girl needs a running partner! She is a very energetic girl so will do best in athletically active home that will take her on lots of outdoors activities. Running, jogging and hiking would be ideal! She does still need basic training but she is extremely smart and learns quickly. She is also very eager to please, especially if treats are involved! Annie gets along great with other dogs but prefers playmates that are not physical with her. She does not need as other dog in the home. Just humans that want to exercise and then cuddle. She is a submissive girl with a wonderful temperament so with a little training and attention , she will become a wonderful family dog. She is crate trained but does need a little more help with her house training. She must have a 6ft, securely fenced yard. Kids must be over 10yrs old. She has not been tested with cats so no kitties please.

Story
Nova is an energetic and happy young dog-1.5 years old. She has no negative history. Her training (recall, obedience, socialization) needs to be reinforced consistently by an experienced family to make her into a fantastic companion. Her ideal home would have no other pets, maybe one other well-behaved dog to guide her.

Story
Carbon is a 4-year-old purebred Australian Shepherd looking for a forever home. His former owner surrendered him due to her health complications, and I have had him for two months. He is very sweet, smart, and well-trained, and he's just adorable! He gets along great with my other Aussie but doesn't like my elderly dog, and I feel like he would be best in a home where he would be the only dog. He loves people and kids, but his behavior around my dogs (being great with one and bad with the other) makes it hard to determine how he would be with another dog. He's up to date on all of his shots and an overall very good boy! Carbon MUst Be AN ONLY DOG. This means no dog parks, group playdates, etc. He is absolutely fantastic with humans and kids - I can't emphasize this enough - he must be the only dog! I know this makes it hard when choosing a pet but his loyalness and love will make it all worth it!

These pups are in Tacoma, Washington too!

Hi, my name is Charlie and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since May 18, 2023. New people and places can be a little scary sometimes, but when I warm up you’ll see my personality bloom! I know that with you by my side, you’ll see my confidence grow every day. I would love to go through life with you as my person!

Story
Flynn is a funny, loving, obedient boy who loves to learn new tasks, fetch balls, swim, hike, and chew his antler. He’s got lots of border collie energy and needs room to run. We’re moving from a 2 acre property to an urban home and don’t think that will be the best environment for our Flynnie boy. He would love to be a family dog with teenagers, or a hiking/biking buddy for an active person or couple. He tends to be alpha with other dogs but is not reactive on or off leash. Great recall!

Story
Minka was born July 18th 2022, she is a very loving dog who loves to cuddle and be by her owners side. She gets along with cats and children just fine, dogs she is okay with but has strong herding instincts towards some since she is a herding breed, which could lead to relationship issues between the dogs. She goes on walks, hikes, car rides, and loves puzzles. She is food motivated which helps in training. She has lived with 2 other dogs and 4 cats since she was 8 weeks old, and herding instincts are only triggered with one of the two dogs. We are trying to find Minka a home that won't trigger her instincts to herd, or a home that gives her the freedom to use those instincts freely, such as a farm or property with a job for her to do. If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to inquire.
