Meet Nuala! Nuala 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).
Nuala is a mixed breed puppy with black fur and white markings on her chest, and we estimate this adorable little girl will be a medium size dog when full grown. Part of our Court of Dreams litter, Nuala and her eight siblings were found in a cardboard box, turned over to a Texas shelter, and scheduled for euthanasia. We were able to save them all (thank you, fosters!) and transport them here to find new homes in the PNW area. Like her literary namesake, our Nuala is a loyal companion and will be a true friend for some fortunate adopter.
Smart, affectionate and sweet, Nuala will be the perfect companion dog. She settled into her foster home quickly and soon decided she loved everyone there (she behaves very well with cats, dogs, and kids). Friendly Nuala loves to snuggle and play with both her sibling and the much larger resident dog; her exuberance is infectious. She’s up for any romping or games they might suggest, and she loves to take the lead in any playing. Nuala recently discovered tug of war with the other pups; she may be the smallest, but she holds her own in their games. Spokane weather brings out the snuggler in Nuala. Cuddling is one of her favorite things to do on these cold days, and she greatly appreciates the warm throw blanket her fosters have on the couch. It is perfect for nestling in for a nap, and if there is a human to share it with, even better! If it is raining (she’s not a fan), toys are a big hit with this little girl and amuse her indoors.
Born in mid-July, Nuala is a quick learner. Her foster has taught her to wait to be released before eating her meals, and she is almost potty trained. She is fully crate trained and waits to be released before prancing out of it. Nuala is learning to walk on a leash, and she has her basic obedience commands in place when rewards are used as an incentive.
Nuala’s ideal home? This friendly girl will thrive in any home with people she can love who will love her in return. Warm snuggles are a must! Treats and chew toys would be lovely, as would siblings of the dog, cat, or kid kind. Nuala would love companions for walks and adventures, and this smart girl would enjoy exploring and learning new things. If this sounds like you, Nuala would love to meet up!

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.
