Story
Unfortunately our three pups have been having issues with fighting each other over resources and we have made the decision with our trainer that it’s in their best interest to find new forever homes. Bailey is good with other dogs if introduced appropriately, but she needs to be the only dog in the household for her physical and emotional safety. Bailey is a goofy and lovable sweetheart. She enjoys being playful and wrestling with her humans or rolling on her back for belly rubs. She is a total couch potato, but she gets super excited when it’s time for a walk or car ride. Bailey loves to swim and wade in the water at the beach, patrolling for birds. She is smart and does well with obedience training. 6.5 yo | spayed | 75 lbs | house-broken | crate-trained | e-collar trained | muzzle trained | great in a home with cats, dog-savvy children | needs single-dog household Adopted from Georgetown Shelter in TX in 2019.

Story
Unfortunately our three pups have been having issues with fighting each other over resources and we have made the decision with our trainer that it’s in their best interest to find new forever homes. Booker is good with other dogs if introduced on a pack walk, but he needs to be the only dog in the household for his physical and emotional safety. Booker is a lovebug, snuggle king, and total goofball. He’s content to curl up on the couch and cuddle, but as soon as it’s adventure or play time he’s so excited! He’s a natural athlete and has great endurance; he’s the perfect activity buddy. Booker is very smart and loves “working” and learning new tricks. He enjoys fetch on land and in the water, and he’s great at catching a frisbee! 4.5 yo | neutered | 60 lbs | house-broken | crate-trained | e-collar trained | muzzle trained | great in a home with cats, dog-savvy children | needs single-dog household Adopted from a family in TX at 3 mos. in 2020 Sit Means Sit Advanced - 2021

DaVitto

Anatolian Shepherd Labrador Retriever

Roy, WA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
DaVitto came from a home on a 3rd story apartment with 5 young children. We took him in when he was 7 months old in hopes of giving him a better life with a yard to run and play. DaVitto was terrified of trying to go down 3 flights of stairs from his previous home and I soon found out he didnt know how to walk on hard floors! Veto has come almost full circle! Some days though, he is still uncertain of floors and loud spoken men. He was easy for me to potty train! He loves to socialize and prefers a comfy bed to cuddle up on. He plays very well with dogs of all sizes, has some interest in cats and will chase them out of the yard but has never hurt any cat or anyone. He absolutely loves his walks and his manners are excellent on and off a gentle lead. DaVitto was intended to be my daughters dog, however when she moved out she left him behind with me. I have 3 other dogs and am overwhelmed with the 4 dogs.

Story
Meet Doc, one of a litter of six puppies that were abandoned at a construction site in La Paz, BCS, Mexico. Fortunately, Doc and his siblings were quickly rescued, and have thrived in their foster home with excellent care, growing into gorgeous, healthy young pups. Doc is kind of an independent little guy, but he does love cuddling with his humans. He plays hard with his sister, Oreo, but he is otherwise a pretty easy going little guy. Doc is fully vaccinated, sterilized and ready to find his forever home. Are you ready to make this sweet boy part of your family?

Story
Hi I am Venus! I am just a puppy, and some would say a “low rider”. That means I have short legs; I think that might have come from my dad. I am chocolate brown with a white patch on the chest and lovely green eyes. I am pretty independent and love to run. I like to play with my siblings, I am most often the last one to lay down for a nap there is just too much to do. I learn new things every day, and guess what, I already know how to swim, and I'm pretty good at it! Some things scare me a little bit, but I am curious to find out what it is. Loud noises don’t really bother me. I do react when the other big dogs bark, but I don’t run and hide or anything. I don’t live with kids or cats, but I think they would be ok if we got to know each other. Maybe we could play with toys together. I like the squeaky ones or sticks and ropes. I love to give kisses, snuggle and give ear nibbles. I am quite content to lay back and get a belly rub. I have been in the car, I don’t get sick or anything, but it can be scary, I probably need more practice. I love my food especially when we get some little extra yummy wet food, I know there is lots to go around so I don’t guard my food. We are still working on potty training; I think I still need more time to get the hang of it. If you are looking for a young pup that you can teach to be the best dog, then fill in the application and let's meet soon! Lots of love, Venus More About Venus: Crate trained for nighttime 3 meals a day still, Costco puppy food, chicken-based kibble with home made wet food or wet pouches She knows her name and will come when called Good in the car, just lays down Strong swimmer, likes the water This cutie will be attending our following adoption events: September 14, 2024 from 10 AM to 3 PM at PetSmart located at 719 Sleater Kinney Rd., SE, Lacey, WA 98503
