Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet FLUFFY- a young (2-3yrs) old female Chow/German Shepherd/Akita (DNS test results) mix- that is petite and brings around 45lbs to the scale.
Life had not been good for FLUFFY, and she could have died on the side of a road in Victorville, CA in January.
Would it not have been for a good Samaritan who noticed two dogs lying on the side of a highway, she would have died there as she could not get up: her hip was displaced as she and the other dog had been hit by a car.
This individual rushed her to a vet clinic nearby that was open on New Year's Day and could put the hip back, followed by strict crate rest.
It was then that ADR.org heard about this incident and connected with the person who found her.
When FLUFFY was scheduled for spay, the surgeon saw that she was pregnant. FLUFFY gave birth to eleven puppies on the last Day in Feb. She was a wonderfully dedicated mom. Up to now, all of her have been adopted except for three.
Since the beginning of May Fluffy has lived on Orcas Island with the founder of ADR.org. She lives with other dogs and two cats.
Fluffy is very smart, submissive as well as strong willing.
Observations show that she might be better compatible with female dogs than with male dogs. But these are just observations and are not restrictive. She is good with cats in a household. Likes to patrol on solid fenced property,
FLUFFY is independent and tends to respect a strong pack leader (human) as her “friend” or leader more than an undecided and fickle one.
She would be a very good long-distance hiking partner being athletic as she is, and the fact that she likes long walks in Mother Nature. ADR.org thinks that FLUFFY would not do well in a city setting.
If you are interested in meeting her, and here and seeing more of her you would need to be able to come to Orcas Island where she remains as of now.
Contact AnimalDefense Rescue.org by emailing: ADR@animaldefenserescue.org so that we can send you an application. At the same time, you contact us, please tell us a bit about yourself, your family and send some pictures of your home.
We look forward to hearing from you. WOOF

Meet the Pet
People have to be willing to travel to Orcas Island, WA- an 90min drive from Seattle, and a 60min ferry drive.
Additional adoption info
Adopters will request an application by sending an email to : ADR@animalDefenserescue.org
Each prospective owner fills out an adoption application. All applicants must live in WA (exceptions are possible), and we ask that children in your home are at least ten years old. We usually have limited information of history of our rescue dogs and are therefore very careful about placing them in households with children.
We require that everyone in the immediate family, including your current dog (if you have one) come to the appointment to meet your potential new dog. Adopting a dog is a big family decision and requires a commitment from everyone.
At the appointment, we will help you assess whether the dog is a good match for you and family or not.
Before you bring your new dog home, you must sign an Adoption agreement with Animal Defense Rescue. In addition, a $ 375$ adoption fee is requested. The adoption donation is non-refundable.
Please remember that adoption contributions barely cover our expenses and only defray the costs. Additional donations are greatly appreciated and will help us continue our life-saving work.
Step 4: Post Adoption Follow Up
Our goal is to help you enjoy life with your new dog to the fullest extent possible. If issues arise, or you just need some good advice, we are happy to do follow-up counseling by telephone or in person. We can also suggest local dog trainers.
