German Shepherd Dog puppies and dogs in Spokane Valley, Washington

-

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##

Astraya is an adorable and playful German Shepherd mix with an estimated birthdate of 10/30/2021. She came to Murci's Mission from our partners at SCRAPS.  Astraya knows basic commands and is leash trained, crate trained, and potty trained. She is social with adults and children. She loves playing with other dogs and would be a great companion for another dog. Astraya's ideal family would be one that was at least moderately active and willing to include her in life's adventures. She would do best in a home without cats. She has on and off lead hiking experience and is a great mountain biking companion.  Astraya comes spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. Her adoption fee is $200 and includes her leash, collar, ID tag, medical records and a sample of the food she's been eating. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application!  ##2188118##

Can we get a drum roll please? Introducing Lilith the Wonder Dog who successfully defended her foster parent's car from burglary on her very first evening with Murci's Mission.  Now that's what we call a BFF in the making.  Lilith is a beautiful, biddable and athletic German Shepherd mix with an estimated borthdate of 12/04/2023. She came to Murci's Mission from SCRAPS after she was found stray and sick with giardia but has since been treated and is ready for her next chapter in life.  Lilith is being fostered at Pawsitive Canine Academy where she's learning additional life skills. She is friendly to people of all ages as well as dogs, and she is not yet cat tested. Her one flaw thus far is that she's able to escape 6' fences, so she's not eligible to be left outdoors unattended.  Lilith has all the makings of a once in a lifetime dog who is ready to walk with her person through thick and thin. When someone imagines going into an animal shelter and adopting an absolute ride or die John Wick style shepherd and living like Bonnie and Clyde, this is the dog they're looking for.  Lilith comes spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed.  Her adoption fee is $200 and includes her leash, collar, ID tag, food sample, and medical records.  To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application. Thank you!  ##2247322##

Raven is a beautiful and well rounded solid black German Shepherd dog who came to Murci's Mission when her previous owner could no longer care for her. Her birthdate is 11/16/2023. Raven has lived a really great life so far and she has basic life skills on board that make her a great adoption candidate.  Raven is good with dogs, cats, and kids. She has limited exposure to toddlers and babies but has always been kind to all the people she has met. She is non malicious to cats, but can come across as irritating to them by making attempts to herd and chase them, so dog savvy and or confident cats recommended. She has been through basic training and knows how to mind her manners at home, so she can be kept in a kennel or loose in a room around the house when home alone. She can be mildly destructive and unfocused when she hasn't been well exercised, but that's completely normal for a young power breed dog.  Raven's ideal family would be one that's active and wants to include her in some of life's adventures like hiking and biking or road trips. She's a great dog looking to lock in a wonderful and secure future with an equally great family.  Raven comes spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. Her adoption fee is $200 and includes her leash, collar, ID tag, medical records, and a sample of the food she's been eating. To be considered to adopt, please begin by visiting www.murcismission.org and sending in an application. Thank you for checking out our girl.  ##2254060##

Notable behavior: -I get overstimulated easily and need to work on my leash manners. -I’ve been known to resource guard toys and food from other animals. -I would thrive with an owner who will set rules and boundaries with 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). Bring Betty White Home for the Holidays, as we feature no minimum adoption donation for our adult dogs. You choose the donation, and we’ll make sure you find the perfect match. 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, chewed-up shoes, and damaged 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 favorite activities 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! Why wait to meet your perfect companion? Our adult dogs are ready to bring love and joy into your life this holiday season. Contact us today to set up your meet and greet with Betty White!

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.
