German Shepherd Dog puppies and dogs in Spokane Valley, Washington

Ralph is a shepherd mix, a year and four months old. He's a good boy but has issues with our elderly dog. He loves playing but he's high energy and has a hard time controlling his excitement. It's not easy for us to do this, we don't want him to go to another home but it's also unfair for him to be separated from our other dog. It would be best for him to go to a home with another dog his size and a fenced yard where he could roam around and enjoy his time outside. He loves toys and treats and of course bone chews. He will come with his kennel, baby blanket, toys, food and his food bowl. He's up to date on shots. He's very skittish and easily spooked and he needs reassurance when going potty. He's very intelligent and knows many tricks, he's able to learn even more with patience and time.

Ayo is a handsome large dog that is Embark tested and came back as a German Shepherd Alaskan Malamute mix. He arrived to the Mission from Carbon County Animal Services in Utah when he was past his euthanasia date for lack of space. He is approximately 75lbs and has an estimated birthdate of 01/02/2021.  Ayo is seeking the atypical adopter that may not be suitable to the average dog. He is very much a one person/one family dog, and thrives while riding in the car, so his ideal adopter could be a trucker, van lifer/traveler, rural homebody that may not like to go out often etc. He wants a simple life with a reliable person, and if they want to take him to the lake to go swimming on a regular basis, then life couldn't get any sweeter.  He has learned sit, how to wait at a doorway, loves to go for car rides, aced many amazing adventures into the great outdoors, and has become a great snuggle buddy and showering assistant, carefully licking the water drops off of his person's legs. He also loves to be groomed and took the entire process in stride like an old pro, even leaning into the force dryer to get a better feel of the warm stream of air. Ayo has not been able to acclimate to other animals in a consistent and safe manner, so while he's still very easy to take for walks and other outings in the midst of other animals, it will be the safest option for him to be the only animal in the home. He is also very over aroused around small children, so a home with teens and up would be ideal.  Ayo's best feature is that he loves playing ball, and he's so eager to fetch that it's by and large the simplest path to teach him. Ayo also has a nice willing personality naturally which will help him learn new skills and trust more environments and people without shutting down.  To see Ayo's complete Embark profile, click here:  http://embk.me/ayo8?utm_campaign=cns_ref_dog_pub_profile&utm_medium=other&utm_source=embark Ayo comes neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and dewormed. His adoption fee is $200 and includes his leash, martingale collar, herm sprenger prong collar, ID tag, food sample and paperwork. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application.  Thank you for checking out our boy!  ##1472725##

Hi, I'm Athena! Like the goddess, I'm an incredibly intelligent pup! I know all kinds of cool commands like "sit and "down. I love to explore the world around me, and it would be even better if I had a best friend by my side. I have lots of energy, and sometimes struggle to express it in the right way. I learn best from strong corrections and would thrive with an owner who is eager to further my training so I can be my best self. I can't wait to find my forever home, preferably one with lots of space to run around and tons of toys that I can play with! If you're looking for a smart, silly dog as a companion, I'm your girl. Come say hi to me!

A Golden Girl who loves runs and snuggles! Meet Betty White! Betty White is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the Adopting for Path of Hope Rescue Section). Betty White has been available for months, and potential adopters often have concerns about adult rescue dogs having behavior issues or being poorly socialized. Some dogs just get overlooked and the longer a dog is available, the more people start wondering, “what is wrong with this dog?” We understand this is a concern, and that is why we assign every applicant their own personal Matchmaker to ensure this dog is right for your family. We also believe that “Fur-st Impressions” are very important, so we encourage you to schedule a meet and greet with Betty White before applying to see if she is the perfect fit for your family by emailing us at Fur-stImpressions@pathofhoperescue.com.  A completed Adoption Application will be required after the meet and greet to move forward with Betty White’s adoption. Betty White is not a puppy; born in November 2021, this girl is potty and crated trained and has successfully outgrown the puppy adolescent stage. She’s the dog for someone who wants the cuddly companionship of a puppy without the stress of house training and chewed-up shoes and furniture. A svelte and compact 45 lbs., Betty White is a free spirit who loves exploring and testing her limits. According to a DNA test, Betty White is 46% American Pit Bull Terrier and 25% German Shepherd Dog so being active and wanting to move is in her genes. Sniff spot outings and agility jumps are a favorite activity for her – and if she has a buddy dog to join her in the adventures, all the better! Naturally eager to learn, Betty White has excelled at obedience training. She plays nicely with her foster dog siblings and gets along great with children (she will chase, so a cat free home would be best for her).  She’s a happy, playful dog who loves her human companions with the same gusto she exhibits for activity. But Betty White isn’t all go, all the time. She is a cuddler and snuggle bug, too. Betty White’s loving and charming personality have made her a foster favorite. Funny, friendly, and affectionate, she warms you up with snuggles and kisses. And all this without having to worry about your favorite shoes getting torn up! Betty White’s ideal home? This delightful girl seeks a home with people to love who will love her in return, take her for active outings, and give her lots of snuggles. She will be the perfect workout partner who is happy to binge watch with you afterwards. Betty White has been waiting for that just right someone; maybe it is you! Contact us today to set up your meet and greet with Betty White! What is Path of Hope’s Adoption Process? Our adoption process takes on average 7-10 days. Begin by completing the online application. EVERY application receives an email response from us (check your spam folder!). Your personal Matchmaker will contact you, help you find your perfect pup match, and guide you through the process. Meet your potential pup at the home of the foster family. (The process may differ slightly for long distance adopters.) Bring your potential pup home for a no commitment In Home Trial. In Home Trials are a minimum of (2) nights for a puppy and one week for an adult. Your Matchmaker will check in with you during this time. Sign the adoption paperwork and adopt your new family member! Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue Our adoption process sets us apart. We specialize in learning about you and your family to find just the right fit for you. Our Matchmakers are not only good at what they do; they will also guide you through the entire process. Our Minimum Adoption Donation is $550 for puppies under a year and $450 for dogs one year and older. We are a WA state registered non-profit and rely heavily on adoption donations to cover the expenses associated with saving lives. Our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption; microchipped with free lifetime registration; and up to date on DAPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines (when age appropriate) and deworming and heartworm treatment/prevention. Adopters can also earn a $100 training refund if they attend (6) hours of any in person training course. Long Distance adopters (one hour or more from Spokane) may choose to travel to Spokane to pick up their dog or use our monthly transport option, Puppy Delivery Express, for an additional delivery donation of $250.  Puppy Delivery Express currently delivers dogs throughout Washington and to parts of Montana, Idaho, and Oregon.   About Path of Hope Rescue At Path of Hope Rescue, our goal is to make EVERY DOG. WANTED. Our two employees and army of volunteers focus on transporting pregnant dogs and puppies from Texas, the number one kill state in America. The dogs we rescue are in poor living conditions and on euthanasia lists in shelters that are inundated with unwanted animals. We want to give these dogs a chance and bring them to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive, loving homes. We are 100% foster based; our dogs are fostered in loving homes where they are house and crate trained and learn basic obedience and leash skills. Dogs experience socialization opportunities with people, places, and other animals, and they receive the attention required to become well-rounded, healthy, and affectionate dogs that they would not otherwise receive in a shelter environment. Our commitment does not end when the dog is adopted. Path of Hope offers post adoption owner support including information on making the dog’s transition to your home a smooth one; recommendations for Preferred Trainers; advice on pet behavior and wellness topics; Facebook litter groups to keep in touch with fellow adopters; and invitations to local rescue hosted events. Please visit https://www.pathofhoperescue.com/ for more information about our organization and the adoption process. ##1395537##

We will review it shortly and give you a call to set up a phone interview.  We are thrilled to offer transport services every 3 weeks from Houston to the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, and the East Coast, ensuring that these incredible pets can find their way to you no matter where you are. This makes the adoption process smooth and convenient, allowing you to focus on welcoming your new family member with open arms. Why should you adopt from a Texas Rescue? Because you will be giving one of our many dogs and cats in need a chance for a better future away from a city that has an animal crisis. We are heartbroken each day with the many incredible and loving animals found wandering our streets. So often are these animals dumped, abandoned, or born on the streets and never find a home to call their own. We are giving them the chance that every animal deserves. We know that since you are looking to add a furry family member to your home here, you will provide the love, care, and attention they need to thrive. Thank you for considering adopting and not shopping. ##2218341##

Hi, my name is Ryker and I was brought in through my local animal control, so my history is a mystery. That means my friends here at CAC don`t really know how I do with other animals or small children. They do know, I am a very energetic boy who wants to play all the time. I do know some basic commands, but only when there`s treats involved. If you are looking for a loyal companion to teach some manners and cuddle with, I am the boy for you. I am going to require a lot of patience, but I promise I`m worth the work and ill be the best companion you`ve ever had! Please make sure you have the time, space and energy for me, since I want to find my furever home.
