Story
FIRST STEPS: Please visit https://www.save-a-mutt.org/adoption-application/ to fill out an application - a Petfinder Inquiry is not the adoption process. We don't do meet and greets until applications have been approved. All our dogs are located IN Washington State - we are a local foster based rescue and no transport from another state required. :) Thanks!

Meet Norberta - Nora for short. We had to see it to believe it... a Corgi Husky! *Insert head shaking here! :) Fortunately - Nora is not only cute, but she's pretty sweet too. Her personality is a mix of both breeds - she can be bossy like a corgi and active like a husky, so a home with previous dog experience is a must. She gets along with other dogs - but if they are too much for her, she has no problem correcting them. Nora loves to hang out with her people - following you from place to place and just hanging out. She's not a huge fan of her crate, but appears to be housebroken so may not need one in her new home. Nora's foster mom says she's great on a leash, so she's ready for adventures. She's pretty quiet overall.
We think Nora's ideal home is fenced yard, other dogs that she can chase and play with. She can be aloof too with other dogs, but recently had great fun with fellow foster dog Como (an Aussie). She's in a home with a toddler, but we think older kids would be a better fit - again... bossy!! Ha! We also think a feline free home would be best - just based on her breeds.
Nora is under a year old, she's not quite 20# and we don't anticipate her getting much bigger. She is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated.
The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for transitioning a rescue dog into its new home and helping it to settle in. It suggests that the first three days should be used for adjusting to its new surroundings, the next three weeks for training and bonding, and the first three months for continued socialization and training.
Each dog goes home with a goody bag including collar/leash, toys, chews, Kong, and more. You will receive all medical records, microchip transfer form and other paperwork at the time of adoption.
Save-A-Mutt may require a training contract and $100 refundable deposit (depending on previous dog experience). You pick a trainer in your area, and upon completion of a 6+ week training class, we will refund the deposit.
Adoptions typically take place in Stanwood.
Adoption fee is $475. Save-A-Mutt is a registered 501c3 and half of your adoption fee may be tax deductible.
Save-A-Mutt is a foster based rescue, we do not have a facility to visit. Our adoptions are typically done Monday - Saturday, we are closed on Sunday’s to give our volunteers at least one day off. You must be available to do meets and adoptions during that time frame. We can make exceptions only with the approval of the foster home.
Please note, we have approximately a 300 mile adoption radius - Portland OR area and Vancouver BC is the farthest north. We don’t ship dogs, once approved you must pick them up in Snohomish County, WA. Canadian adopters must be able to come to Stanwood WA to pick up your puppy.
