Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Spokane, Washington

Hi, I'm Jessie! I'm the friendliest pup in town. I love to meet new people and flop right over in the hopes you'll give me some belly rubs, they're my absolute favorite. I love to spend time outside running and playing, especially if I have a companion to throw a ball for me to fetch. I can't wait to meet my companion, could it be with you? Meet me today!

More than meets the eye! Meet Squawkbox! Squawkbox is in a foster home in Spokane, WA. “Fur-st Impressions” are very important for an adult dog like Squawkbox. Schedule a meet and greet with Squawkbox before applying to see if he 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 Squawkbox’s adoption.  Squawkbox 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. Squawkbox may take his name from a Decepticon in the Transformers lore, but this loyal pup is one of the good guys. Goofy, cuddly, smart, loving, and playful, Squawkbox lives to be with his people and to please them. Squawkbox loves to sleep by you or on you. Cuddling isn't always good enough; sometimes, he will get up and just flop across you.  Belly rubs and back scratches? Yes, please! Add in a game of fetch and a walk, and he will be your friend and protector for life. Squawkbox does well with other dogs, but he needs a home without kids. We would cat test him with any felines you might have in your home. There’s more to this dog than meets the eye! Squawkbox has had extensive obedience training (courtesy of one of his fosters, Courtney of Courtney’s Canine College), and this smart boy has all the skills: come, sit, stay, down, shake, spin, speak, whisper, dance, and place. His heel and leash walking are on point (he is a joy to walk) and his recall is exemplary – he may be the best trained dog we have had in the rescue. He loves to work and enjoys training; it is a fun game for him. Squawkbox is even trained to walk on a treadmill! Squawkbox had developed an undesirable habit of getting worked up when new people entered the house. This is where that amazing training comes into play. When greeting new people, Squawkbox is directed to his 'place' and given time to calm down. After a few minutes in his designated “place”, he will be ready to greet anyone with full body wiggles! Squawkbox’s ideal home? An active adult one, where he would get lots of fetch games, walks, and cuddles and love. An adopter willing to continue and reinforce his training to ensure he has the skills that will make him a well-rounded dog. A home where he can let his goofy, playful, exuberant, and confident nature shine and embrace his people with all his heart.  Squawkbox is a lovable sweetheart requiring a local adopter who agrees to attend training with him and our amazing partner, Courtney’s Canine College, to help with his quirks (and to make the most of those skills he has!). We know that quality training can be a costly investment, so to help alleviate that cost, we are waiving our normal $450 minimum adoption donation so you can put that towards training instead. 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 Jewel! Jewel is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section).  Lovely mama Jewel is a medium size, mixed breed dog with black fur and white markings on her chest. She has warm, friendly, chocolate brown eyes. Jewel and her four pups form the Nightmare Before Christmas litter, and they traveled from the Del Rio Animal Shelter in Texas to find new homes in the PNW area. We are taking applications for Jewel now, and she will be able to go home with an adopter once her pups are weaned, and she has been spayed. In the meantime, mama Jewel and her puppies are settling into a foster home. As the puppies become less dependent on her, she will begin potty, leash, and obedience training. We will be learning more about Jewel in the coming days, so please check back for more information. In the meantime, Jewel is spending her days caring for her pups and getting lots of playtime, love, and new adventures with her foster family.  Want to meet Jewel?

  STEVEN  This brave canine hasn’t had it easy in life, running loose and fending for himself for about a month before he was finally rescued. Initially, he was terrified of humans, which is understandable. When we brought him home, our sweet boy immediately revealed his true nature, showing us just how special he truly is. Despite the hardships he faced, he has become the epitome of love and affection.  He adores snuggles! There is nothing he loves more than curling up in your lap for some quality cuddle time. Prepare for your heart to melt as his big, soulful eyes gaze up at you with pure adoration! To keep this clever canine entertained, all you need is a few toys and some bones. He's always up for a game of fetch or a chew session, and his goofy energy will give you regular laughs.Plus, his amazing compatibility with other dogs means he would be an excellent addition to a multi-pet household, bringing harmony and wagging tails all around. Steven is perfect in every way, from his adorable appearance to his heart of gold & will come neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. He is approximately 10 months old and weighs roughly 32 pounds. He is good with kids and cats.  ##1858448##

I got Annie from a gal in Sandpoint, Idaho. She was acquired for hunting purposes. She is just over 4 years old. I got her as a puppy in the fall of 2020. She is a good listening dog and loves attention. Words I would use to describe her are playful, loyal and gentle. She does chew on a lot of things and digs holes when left alone a lot. Therefore causing her to be kenneled a lot. Being kenneled a lot is not fair for her.

Whitey was born July 5, 2020. I got her when she was about 6 weeks old from MT. She is a smart, loving dog yet still very hyper and too demanding for me at this time. All is wants is loving interaction with people; to run in a large yard and play fetch; be in a house where she can freely roam. Whitey needs little work on her manners but really is well behaved and listens well. I am leaving the area and need to find a good home for her, with lots of love and attention. She does well with medium dogs or bigger, but the tiny dogs seem to get to aggressive around her and she doesn't know how to act. She rides well in vehicles and loves to run in wide empty places. She behaves well with leash on but prefers to walk beside you without one on. Like I said she listens well and just wants to please. Whitey is in Spokane and not Rathdrum as profile says fyi

Lucy is a very sweet 8-year-old smart Lab/Retriever Mix. She was rescued from the humane society in Sandpoint, ID at 12 weeks old. She joined two cats I had at the time and did amazing. She loves all her cats and would do well in a home with other cats. She is definitely the alpha of the house and did open up to the idea of having another dog in the home. Before the other dog was rescued, Lucy was introduced to him and decided he would be a good little brother. If other dogs would be in the home, it would be a good idea for Lucy to meet them first to see if they would get along. Lucy loves to play fetch and will do anything for her food/treat. She is kennel trained and feels it is a safe place for her. She hates fireworks and thunderstorms and will find the closet in the home to hide when these occur. She loves to sleep in bed with the humans. She does not do well off leash; however, I think with some training she would improve. She would do great with a fenced yard.

Balu is 5 years old and was adopted at the Kootenai Human Society when he was 10 months old. He was named after the big bear on Jungle Book. He is very sweet and eager to please his owner. He joined 4 cats and another dog. Balu loves his blankets and loves to suckle on them when he is relaxing inside. His house has a fenced in yard. He does great on walks; however, he has not been walked regularly recently and would need some re-training in this area as well as with some commands. He does not do good off leash without a fence. He does not play fetch very well as he never brings back the ball. He would love to sleep in bed with you, however he can get loud with his snoring. The best home for Balu would be a with another bigger dog that he could play with. His sister currently does not like to play, and he has been desperate to play with another dog. I think younger owner(s) would be best. I think with a little patience and love he will get back to his routine.

**DOG NOT AT KHS - CONTACT FOSTER - NUMBER BELOW**Only rarely does one encounter someone who always exudes positive energy and happiness.If you are looking for that sweet little ray of sunshine, meet Sir Wigglesworth, known to his friends as Wiggles. He is 3 years old and approx. 65lb. Being a rescue, his lineage is unknown, but he appears to be a Boston/Lab mix. He is the ray of sunshine that brightens up even the cloudiest day for those around him.Wiggles is intelligent, energetic, sweet and a super happy dog. He is trained to walk on a leash and on a treadmill. He is potty trained, kennel trained and knows all the basic commands. He loves to fetch a ball and is very good at it. He even taught himself how to play fetch alone by flinging his ball down the hill so he could chase it!Wiggles needs a clear line for rules and boundaries. Like every intelligent dog, he needs lots of engagement and interaction.Wiggles gets along with men, but absolutely loves women. He needs a home with NO cats or small children. He would do best in a home where he is not left kenneled for more than 4-6hrs at a time. He is very good in his kennel but if he stays in there too long he needs a lot more enrichment when he comes out or he will get frustrated.Wiggles gets along with most other dogs with supervision and guidance until they get to know each other . He would do best with a female dog of a similar size. Smaller or larger dogs might be OK with more introduction. He needs a tall fenced yard for safety and to get the zoomies out. He can easily jump over a 4 feet so a 6 foot fence is recommended. In general he isn’t a runner but occasionally will hop over a boundary when distracted by something on the other side.His person would need to like training. Wiggles loves to learn new things and does best when he is challenged mentally. He is quite the sprinter so would be good at Flyball or agility. Once he knows you, he is affectionate and always looks for kisses and loves being close.He is currently being boarded in a volunteer`s home. He was returned after a year due to a change in life circumstances for the previous owner. Londa 208 651-4806.
