Story
Follow your heart to The Babe!
Meet The Babe! The Babe 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).
The Babe is the mama of our Sandlot litter; she and her four puppies traveled from the Brazoria SPCA in Texas to the PNW area for a second chance at life after landing on the euthanasia list. Born in January of 2023, The Babe is a mixed breed (best guess is Border Collie and Pointer), medium size dog with black and white markings and sweet, friendly eyes. She is a friendly, affectionate, loyal, playful, and brave girl looking to join your team.
To quote Babe Ruth in the Sandlot, follow your heart and you’ll never go wrong. That’s how we feel about the adopter who chooses The Babe. This mama has a heart of gold and loves people and toys. Shortly after arriving at our intake, The Babe scoped out all the toys and quickly selected a few favorites! She adores playing Tug of War with the teens in her foster home; after a bout of playing, The Babe likes nothing more than to settle in for a good cuddle. While she prefers to snuggle with a person, she’ll burrow into a soft, comfy blanket if that is the only option.
The Babe is a five-tool player! The Babe is potty trained; she sleeps through the night; she is fully crate trained; she has her basic obedience down (with a treat incentive); and she is learning how to walk on a leash. A social, curious and confident gal, The Babe has gotten along very well with all the new dogs she has encountered since her arrival (including the border collie in her foster home) as well as kids. The Babe was cat tested, and while she was respectful when the cat growled at her, she is excited around them and wants to play with them. This talented, darling girl is ready to be the star of your team!
The Babe’s ideal home (team)? She would love to play for you with a no-trade clause. This delightful girl seeks a home where she can love and be loved in return. She is eager to please, and she wants nothing more than to earn your love and praise. The Babe would enjoy play time, walks with you, and lots of snuggle time. Dogs and kids would be great, too; the more, the merrier for The Babe. She would do well in a home with a dog savvy cat and a patient family willing to work on her excitement around cats. Everybody gets one chance to do something great, says Babe Ruth in the film. Maybe adopting our Babe is something great you can do!

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 a 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 vaccinations (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.
