Story
Xanthi is such a fun dog! She was rescued in Mexico where she was left with her sibling in a cardboard box... A year ago, she came to Washington for an adoption trial that failed to no fault of her own. It lasted only 4 days before she was returned. Since then she has been in foster and had a second adoption trial, which was not the right fit or environment for her (an apartment in a busy city). Xanthi is now with a wonderful foster and she has truly shown her beautiful, active, confident, friendly personality. She loves to go on hikes, swimming, sniff spots, you name it! She has made a lot of dog friends and has the largest fan club now, rooting for her to find her best friend and forever family!

Story
Miel was rescued as a stray in Guadalajara, Mexico and adopted in WA but returned 3 days after. The story was that the senior dog of the house didn't get along with her. She has been in foster for almost 4 months and is doing great with large and small dogs of all ages and temperaments. She is very smart and affectionate. Needs to improve on leash, since she tends to react to bypassers and selectively to dogs she encounters. She loves food! She is housebroken, crate trained and extremely sweet!

Story
Lucas is a handsome and loving pup who is full of surprises! He can be independent and gentle, but also has a playful side to him when he gets to know you. Although he may seem a bit shy at first, he's actually very affectionate and will melt your heart with his wet kisses. It's important to note that Lucas will need some extra time and space to warm up to his new surroundings. He's good with other dogs, but slow introductions are a must. He would prefer to be the only four-legged friend in the household or have a mellow female dog companion. If you're looking for a sweet and cuddly friend, Lucas will be the perfect fit for you. Although he may be a bit weary at first, he will surely warm your heart and fill your life with love and joy. If you have any questions about Lucas, please email us! He will be in WA on 5/29/24 and needs a committed foster or adopter!

Story
Hello, my name is CANITO and I am a young male dog. I am a very friendly, playful, and smart dog who loves to explore, but I am also gentle, affectionate, and loyal. I love giving kisses and being around kids and other dogs, and I've been known to be very gentle when I play. I haven't had much experience with cats, but I'm sure I would get along with them just as well as I do with everyone else. I'm a well-rounded pup who loves to learn new tricks and play with toys. If you're looking for a furry friend to join your family, look no further! I am CANITO, and I'm ready to love you unconditionally. Please consider adopting me, CANITO.
