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.

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 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.

Story
HI - I'M PATCH! I'm a 1-1/2-year-old husky mix in need of a foster or forever home! I was rescued from a California high-kill shelter in the nick of time. I LOVE human attention and affection. I would do well with a single person or people who are active, and who love to go for walks, hikes and other outings. I'm still young but well behaved. I pose well for pictures! I could possibly do well with a female my size, though I'd also thrive as an only dog. Overall I'm a loving boy who simply needs someone to love me back! Please email for an application.

Story
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM HOLT! Holt is a 2-year-old Black Lab mix in need of a foster or forever home! He is a good, happy boy who is full of life, and still a puppy at heart. He is dog friendly, people friendly and affectionate! He is loyal, gentle and smart! While he loves companionship, he also can be independent and dignified. Holt needs an active person or people as he's quite athletic and will benefit from regular exercise, such as walks, hikes or runs. He pulls a bit on a leash but is easily corrected. He is a sweet boy, and weighs between 65 and 70 lbs approximately. Please email for an application. He deserves a home for the new year!
