My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MCKENZIE is a 20# Rat Terrier...maybe Fox Terrier. In foster now in Olympia, WA  She came in with a litter of 5.  She is now spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and Microchipped. She is also Heart Worm NEGATIVE!  McKenzie is house trained, and does well with all people. We will not be adopting her with young children. Maybe respectful kind children who aren't running around screaming and such because we really can't see her in that type of a household, so if really quiet type children maybe 8 years or older? Really depends on the individual children/household. But she's fine with other dogs and cats. She's friendly after she gets to know you which is fast, will sleep on the bed but is not a major cuddle bunny so if you are looking for a total smoochy lap dog, likely Mckenzie is not that although who knows? Maybe in time she would be?  She is a little shy at first but it only takes minutes for her to relax.  She is curious and playful with the other dogs.  She would be great for an apartment or condo.  She leaves the many cats alone that I have.

The adoption fee covers all of the medical, microchipping, transport from Texas to the PNW, and health certificate. 6 mos of heart worm prevention will also be included with the adoption.

Important: If you are interested in this pup/dog, please fill out the application (link listed above). The rescue will contact you once the application is received. Although we strive to answer everyone, due to the high volume of inquiries we receive, we cannot guarantee a response to all emails. Filling out the application is the best way and ensures a response from the rescue. In addition, while you are emailing us, if others apply, you can lose out adopting the dog you chose. We have hundreds and hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. However, if you are applying or have applied anywhere else, we do need to know that. Also, please note that we are almost always holding adoption events on Saturdays at noon at Petworks in Olympia, Washington if you would like to meet with us in person.

A note about pricing: Puppy adoption fees generally are $495; adult dogs fees generally are $395. However, fees vary depending on the dog/puppy. Some pups/dogs have flexible adoption fees. It can even depend just on the foster availability, if pre adopted, etc.

Our adoption fees cover the cost of transportation from Texas and the necessary health certificate documentation. The fees also include all medical costs to make sure the pups are appropriately vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and spayed/ neutered. Additionally, any dogs over 6 months have had a negative heart-worm test. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and a myriad of other vetting. If the adoption fees seem high (which never cover the true cost of rescue), we recommend fostering for a good rescue. Fostering ensures you incur no vet bills and no boarding fees. We are always in need of good fosters. We are all volunteers and many of us donate 70+ hours/week and thousands/year of our own funds. WA and OR shelters are funded by taxpayers, hence, many have lower adoption fees.

Shayne's rescue is a few foster parents in the Olympia/Tumwater area. We foster dogs that rescues ask us to foster and let those rescues use this site to list those pups/dogs and rehome them. We donate all of our time, food, monies to assist in getting these dogs forever homes. We are not responsible for any experience you have with any dog you might see posted on this site. They are the property, if you will, of the rescue they come from and all paperwork and vet work you will receive when you adopt and it will have all that information for you. Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. Since worldwide over 1/2 billion puppies/dogs are PTS yearly and over 9,000/day just in U.S. shelters, yes even entire litters of puppies are PTS daily in many US shelters! Hence, we firmly believe there is NO breed other than rescue for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.
