Story
MEET ROCKY, a 1-year-old Australian Kelpie in need of a foster or forever home! Rocky is a very affectionate dog who loves both humans and dogs alike! He weighs only 40 lbs., and is a loving boy. Kelpies are intelligent dogs, believed to have been descended from Border Collies. They love to be stimulated with walks and other activities. Rocky would do best in an active home where his person or people work from home, or are retired, as he loves company. He'd also thrive in a home with another dog, though it's not a necessity. Please email for an application.

Story
MEET BEAMER! If you’ve ever wanted a 60-lb lap dog, look no further! Beamer is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet, and he loves nothing more than to curl up and fall asleep with his head in your lap (warning: he snores - but it’s a very cute snore). When he’s not trying to climb into your lap, Beamer loves to go on walks and hang out with other dogs. He currently lives with two female canine companions in his foster home in Bothell, but most recently his daily pal was a male husky mix. Beamer is also in a foster home with cats - he's curious but well-mannered. He truly wants to please. We think Beamer is around five years old, and the best guess is that he’s an American Staffordshire terrier mixed with something larger (maybe a yellow lab or a hunting dog). He has the cutest spots on his ears and the most endearing face! Beamer LOVES women... I mean, he'll attach to you like Velcro and want to be by your side always. But he'll hang out with men, too. We just know his preference. :) Once he's settled in, you couldn’t find a sweeter, more loving companion. Please email for an application.

MEET SWEET FREYA.... Freya was rescued from a crowded California shelter in the nick of time. While there, she was kenneled with another dog, and was calm and gentle. She loves other dogs and is very playful, and she's a sweetheart with people. Freya is also a bit shy but will blossom once she knows you. She is likely a Belgian Malinois-shepherd cross. Freya is about 1-1/2 years old and is currently looking for a foster or forever home. She weighs about 55-60 lbs. Please email for an application.

MEET AUNT BO! Beautiful Bo is a sweet 8-year-old female Chow Chow mix in need of a foster or forever home. She was rescued from a crowded California, where she was brought in with a husky, who was euthanized, leaving her there alone. Like most seniors she's sweet & quiet & gentle. She has been good around other dogs so far and is in good health. If you can open your home and heart to an sweet older girl in the new year, please email for an application. She needs a foster or forever home.

Story
MEET TENOR & BASS! This happy and loving duo has waited much too long for a home. They are a loving, fun pair of playful dogs who need a foster or forever home! They are very affectionate toward people, and love, love, love each other. They are likely brothers, who found themselves at a crowded California shelter with no adoption interest. Fortunately they were rescued but still haven't found a home yet. They must be adopted together as they are extremely bonded. Both are almost 7 years old. Bass, the brown-and-white pup, weighs only 55 lbs., and Tenor (tan and white) weighs about 60 lbs. They are fun, active pups who love to run, play and snuggle. They would love to be adopted by someone who could take them on hikes, walks and other outings. They currently play with each other for entertainment but it'd be great for them to branch out and see the world. Bass & Tenor love to jump up and give kisses. They are not super friendly with other dogs, so should be the only dogs in the home - but they have plenty of love to give and will be grateful to whomever adopts them. If you can foster or adopt Bass & Tenor, please email for an application.

Story
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM ME, MISTO! I am a young (about a year) husky mix recently rescued from a crowded California shelter. I was terrified there, but after a few days, my sunshine personality came out! I'm a loving, dog-friendly boy who would do well with another dog in the home, or as an only dog, too. I love to play and am happy! Change is a bit scary for me so I would do well with both a patient and active person, who could take me for walks, hikes and other outings. I have the most beautiful blue eyes, and I weigh about 50 lbs. Please email for an application! I currently need a foster or forever home.
