German Shepherd Dog puppies and dogs in Renton, Washington

Meet Kiara Kiara is a courtesy posting. If you are interested please apply and we will forward your application on to our rescue partner. Kiara’s story begins the way too many do — abandoned and left to fend for herself. When she was picked up after being dumped, one thing was immediately clear: she had been living with pain. She was scheduled to be spayed right away, and once she recovered, further evaluation began for a chronic limp that had been ongoing for over a month. Kiara tries so hard to power through it. She is weight-bearing, but only placing about 50–60% of her weight on her right front leg. After sedation and radiographs, the extent of the injury became clear. Kiara has significant trauma to her right elbow — likely 1–2 months old and possibly consistent with being hit by a car. Imaging revealed: • Elbow dislocation • Medial epicondyle fracture • Possible coronoid process fracture • Bone debris and arthritic changes The damage appears permanent. Surgical repair carries a guarded prognosis for restoring normal joint function. One option discussed was elbow fusion, which could reduce pain but would eliminate movement in that joint. If pain cannot be managed long term, amputation may ultimately provide her the best quality of life. Despite everything she has endured, Kiara is incredibly resilient. She doesn’t complain. She doesn’t give up. She just keeps trying to be a dog. Because of the complexity of her injury, several rescues have declined to take her on. But she deserves a chance — not just to survive, but to live comfortably and safely without chronic pain. She will be evaluated again next week to determine the best path forward. If amputation is recommended as the option that gives her the greatest quality of life, we will move forward and raise the funds needed to give her that chance. Kiara did not choose what happened to her. But we can choose what happens next. Stay tuned as we advocate for this brave girl and work to give her the pain-free future she deserves.

Adele is a beautiful young German Shepherd, estimated to be around 2 years old, with a gentle and friendly personality that makes her a joy to be around. She’s the kind of dog who wants to be close to her people, soaking up attention and companionship while taking in the world around her. Adele came to us after someone reached out for help when she had just given birth to a litter of puppies. Sadly, she had been abandoned in the cold, and despite her best efforts to care for them, she lost her entire litter to the harsh weather before help could reach them. It’s a heartbreaking start to her story, but Adele has shown incredible resilience. Since coming into rescue, she has been recovering well, gaining strength, and starting to enjoy the safety and warmth she deserves. Through it all, she has remained sweet, trusting, and incredibly affectionate with the people around her. Now that she’s had time to heal, Adele is ready to start the next chapter of her life — finding a forever home where she will finally be the one being cared for and loved. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and a gentle soul, Adele may be the perfect addition to your family.

At just one year old, Liesel has her whole life in front of her. She’s looking forward to trading uncertainty for security — long walks, cozy beds, gentle hands, and a family who will cherish her the way she deserves.

It’s so sad with the never ending need for dogs to be pulled off euthanasia lists in CA all day everyday. We were sent countless emails with many dogs from different shelters needing help because they were all going to be euthanized as they had run out of time. It was an extremely sad situation & still is every day. On the list at one of the shelters was Lucy. It’s brutal trying to pick who gets the opportunity to live & who doesn’t. Lucy was one of the lucky ones on this day & thank goodness we did because she is the biggest angel you will ever meet. Our beautiful Lucy will now be looking for a home to cherish her. Lucy was brought back to WA from CA & we tested her in a daycare & she did well. Lucy’s foster mum & dad said she loves to be loved. She comes up to you & puts her face on your face for kisses & has so much gratitude towards them. She is the nicest girl they said & nothing bothers her. She absolutely adores comfy beds & big comfy blankets because again the reality is, we don’t know if this is something she did not get to experience ever until she was rescued. When a clean blanket comes out she gets so excited to go lay on it. She enjoys sleeping with her foster siblings. Lucy is wonderful with her baths & grooms as she has learnt since we got her to have them. Lucy loves to eat & is a wonderful eater now & she is not shy about that. Our vet recommended Lucy lose weight & we got her down in weight as she was previously on kibble on her other foster home but in her current foster home she is on a clean diet. She eats a clean diet of, raw proteins, fruits, vegetables a small of grains, along with different supplements & fats. She also loves collagen sticks & bully sticks. Lucy is fed by herself as she does not like other dogs coming near her food. She is a very sweet intelligent dog her foster mum said. In her current foster home she enjoys going into the backyard & sunning herself for small amounts of time only. She does walk really well on a leash. We are looking for a crate free home for this little lady only. Lucy as you can imagine spent such a long time in a caged environment. Please do not say you won’t crate her & then go & crate her, that is unacceptable. We are also looking for a forever home for Lucy where someone is home during the day or she can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them. Lucy is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love her as she should be loved & be patient with her & never give up on her. Lucy loves her dog friends so much & she enjoys being with them & has never met a dog she doesn’t like. She does not discriminate against breeds. She even loves puppies. We currently have her with other dogs in her loving foster home. Lucy needs a fully fenced backyard if it’s a freestanding house. Lucy is roughly 70 lbs, 8 years old & possibly a german shepherd but what she is mixed with we are not sure. We got Lucy a dental scale & polish & had a mass sampled & removed & it was benign. She is female, she had her shots, including DHPP, rabies & dewormed. But once these shots expire we will not redo them as we do not over vaccinate our beloved dogs & will only redo the rabies. Lucy has some arthritis due to normal aging but it does not stop her from doing anything. We have her on dasuquin. We have spent far more on Lucy with bringing her to WA with her travel costs from CA, her medical care in WA & trying to save her life etc than her adoption fee comes close to covering. We have spent roughly $2500 on this beautiful girl. Lucy has not been around cats since being in the rescue, but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together. We have not had her around children so we do not recommend cats nor children but it’s always up to the adopters to responsible with their children, cats & dogs. We were not there when Lucy was conceived so we do not know who her parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think her breed is. As with all of our rescues & Lucy’s friends she will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Lucy potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Lucy & going through our process and have read her listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on. Or you waste this rescues time, will remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit via WebEx due to covid & followed by a meet & greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Lucy who understands her needs & that meet all the requirements for this special sweet little lady. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Lucy has an adoption fee of $450 & does not even come close to what we have spent on rescuing her & medically. She is now ready for her truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what she has been through.
