A Ray of Sunshine all year round!
Meet Sunglow! Sunglow is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section).
Born in June of 2024, Sunglow is a young, female, Labrador Retriever mix puppy with black and white markings and cute freckles on her legs. One of our Crayola crayon orphans, Sunglow traveled from the Brazoria SPCA in Texas to find a new home in the PNW area. We are currently taking applications for Sunglow, and she will be able to go home with an adopter after her spay surgery.
Sunglow is a yellow-orange color that appears warm and cheerful, two traits this little pup shares! Mellow, funny and playful, Sunglow has an endearing and social personality. Sunglow adores the children she has met in her foster home (they give great tummy rubs!) and she gets along well with both the younger and older resident dogs. Affectionate and sweet, lap cuddles are a must for this girl. When she isn’t snuggling, Sunglow is an active girl who loves chewing on bones and stuffies and playing fetch. While Sunglow frequently indulges in zoomies with the younger pup, she is very respectful of the senior dog and his boundaries and adjusts her energy level around him. She has a puppy’s curiosity and loves to explore and check out new things, though reflections of herself are a bit perplexing; silly Sunglow will bark at her doppelgänger when she sees it in windows or the stove glass.
Smart and curious, Sunglow is a quick learner. She is crate trained and sleeps through the night; she is progressing through her potty training and has started leash training. Sunglow loves her food and treats, and with the incentive of a reward, acts quickly on her commands. She is figuring out how to take the stairs in her foster home; apparently, she has had little experience with these before!
Sunglow’s ideal home? Maybe it is yours, if you have a home with people she can love who will love her in return, take her for walks and provide her with play adventures, and will continue to teach her the skills that will help her grow into a healthy and happy dog. Children and other dogs would be a plus but not a dealbreaker for this ray of sunshine; all she needs is that one person to shower her with affection and share a life with her.

Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue
- Our adoption process sets us apart. We specialize in learning about you and your family to find just the right fit for you. Our Matchmakers are not only good at what they do; they will also guide you through the entire process.
- Our Minimum Adoption Donation is $550 for puppies under a year and $450 for dogs a year and older. We are a WA state registered non-profit and rely heavily on adoption donations to cover the expenses associated with saving lives. Our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption; microchipped with free lifetime registration; and up to date on DAPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccinations (when age appropriate) and deworming and heartworm treatment/prevention. Adopters can also earn a $100 training refund if they attend (6) hours of any in person training course.
- Long Distance adopters (one hour or more from Spokane) may choose to travel to Spokane to pick up their dog or use our monthly transport option, Puppy Delivery Express, for an additional delivery donation of $250. Puppy Delivery Express currently delivers dogs throughout Washington and to parts of Montana, Idaho, and Oregon.
About Path of Hope Rescue
- At Path of Hope Rescue, our goal is to make EVERY DOG. WANTED. Our two employees and army of volunteers focus on transporting pregnant dogs and puppies from Texas, the number one kill state in America. The dogs we rescue are in poor living conditions and on euthanasia lists in shelters that are inundated with unwanted animals. We want to give these dogs a chance and bring them to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive, loving homes.
- We are 100% foster based; our dogs are fostered in loving homes where they are house and crate trained and learn basic obedience and leash skills. Dogs experience socialization opportunities with people, places, and other animals, and they receive the attention required to become well-rounded, healthy, and affectionate dogs that they would not otherwise receive in a shelter environment.
- Our commitment does not end when the dog is adopted. Path of Hope offers post adoption owner support including information on making the dog’s transition to your home a smooth one; recommendations for Preferred Trainers; advice on pet behavior and wellness topics; Facebook litter groups to keep in touch with fellow adopters; and invitations to local rescue hosted events.
