Hi, my name is Tank and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Oct 04, 2024. Learning new tricks and exercising my brain are my absolute favorite things to do! The only way it could be any better would be if I could learn things with you. We could show off new, fun tricks together and be the coolest pair ever!

Story
Hi! My name is Anita the Akita! and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by a good Samaritan on 09/20/2024.The shelter is unsure of my mix or how big ill will get. By my appearance the shelter thinks I could be a akita mix if you`d like to learn more about akitas here is a link https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/akita/ I am still on the young side.I weigh 54 lbs and am considered a large breed dog.I am a very smart dog! At the shelter I am practicing how to `sit`, `stay`, `come`, `down` and `shake`.I am an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home!I am an independent dog who likes to do my own thing!I am full of energy and I love to play! I tend to calm down more when the people around me stay calm. I do best when I have lots of exercise and something to keep my mind busy.My caregivers have noticed that I seem to do well with other large dogs. When meeting dogs in a new home, I would do best with a slow introduction.

Story
Meet Dooly💜 Three siblings Dooly, Douner, and Ddochi were rescued from Korean city shelter where they lived for 2 months without their mom. Dooly received training at a training center and learned how to live with people. We hope and wish that Dooly will find a loving foster or forever family. * Because he is living at Adogs center with a group of dogs, we don’t know if he has separation anxiety or if he is housebroken. 💟 Personality and characteristics *Keyword: Smiley #SmileyAngel #Timid *Energy level (1-10): lv.5~6 *Dooli is a pup who has a goofy smile that looks extremely cute!😁 In contrast to his siblings Donner and Ddochi, he is a charming yellow pup with his beautiful yellow coat! *He was a timid pup who lacked some social skills and after he was trained at training class, he improved and is doing better!👍🏻 *Dooli actively runs around and is very energetic! To meet his energy and active nature, it would be ideal if he could be adopted to a family where they can consistently walk him every day!

Story
The Seattle Animal Shelter is committed to reducing length of stay for all of our shelter pets! Some pets qualify for FREE or reduced adoption fees, please inquire with our Animal Care team to learn more.Gladys is a 10-year-old beauty who’s the perfect mix of calm and cuddly! Her foster mom says she’s “the easiest foster I’ve ever had!” With her loving, gentle personality, Gladys spends her days lounging, soaking up belly rubs, cuddles, and kisses, and just being the sweetest companion you could ask for.Gladys is fully potty trained, rarely barks, and is wonderfully low-maintenance. She’s happy with gentle, easy walks but is just as content to relax at home with her favorite humans, ready to be your best snuggle buddy. A true people-lover, she’ll bring so much warmth and loyalty into her forever home.She’s great with kids and does well on her own when left alone. While Gladys is friendly with other dogs, she can be a little protective over her food, so she will need to be fed separately from other animals in the home or the only dog in the household. If you’re looking for a laid-back, affectionate companion who’s all about love, Gladys would love to be the calm and steady presence in your life! Come meet this wonderful girl – she might just be the perfect fit for you!Pets are complex beings and prior to adoption, interested adopters will be counseled by a staff member to discuss the specific needs for each animal.

Click the button to download the adoption application. The application is a form-fillable pdf. Fill out the form, save it to your hard drive, then email back to sian@gingerspetrescue.org Hi!  My name is Xavier from Korea and I am a wonderful approximately 5 month old  male Akita - Jindo mix.  I weigh approximately 14 lbs. and so excited to find my new forever home.  I am very happy, affectionate, smart, and friendly.  I was saved from the Korean kill shelter where I was due to be euthanized. The activists came and saved me and I can't wait to come to America and find a family to love and care for me forever.  Approximately over a million dogs a year are slaughtered to be eaten.  I am so lucky to get a one-way ticket to Seattle to find my new family.  Take me on car rides, walks in the park, and I will become your best friend.  I get along well with people of all ages, gentle kids, and other dogs.  I will do best with a loving family that can give me lots of love, and affection!  On all overseas adoption, we highly recommend our pet rescue dog trainer who will help train your new pup.  My adoption fee of $1,295 will cover my spay/neuter, DA2PP shots, Rabies, Bordetella, Deworm, Heart Worm Test, Microchip, Boarding Fees, Health Certificate and airline transport cost from Korea to Seattle.   A GPS tracker or Apple Air Tag is required for all adopted dogs. You can bring your own when adopting or you can purchase an Air Tag from us   We cannot guarantee breed or age. The adoption fee is firm and helps save the life of another dog needing rescue and our other dogs in need of medical care.  Donations are always appreciated to help pay down our vet bills at Greenwood Vet.  Ginger's Pet Rescue is a non-profit 501C-3 organization.  The adoption fee is donated to the rescue and is tax deductible.   Please e-mail   admin@gingerspetrescue.org   for an adoption application.

Story
Jason Momoa is a looker, just like his name sake- and thankfully, he's just a great a dog as he is good looking! He is slightly smaller than your typical American Akita but he's got that Akita mindset. This means he can be a little reserved when meeting new people, but as he's young and smart, he's learned quickly that people bring the fun (and food)- so he makes friends quickly now. He also loves to play and along with training, these are the keys to his heart! He already knows quite a few commands and walks well on a leash- but also loves to run and play in the yard. He plays his own version of fetch which mostly involves running around with the ball- not so much bringing it back- but he loves this game! Typical for his breed, he can be slightly protective and this is why we require someone with previous "power breed" or Akita experience. Akitas are typically not first time dogs and they need boundaries and structure that most first time owners do not understand (which is exactly why he is with us). Jason is crate trained and housebroken. He would do best in a home with no children. Jason is UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. ADOPTION DONATION: $600.00. Your adoption donation goes toward the cost of this vet care as well as transportation and general care costs. All dogs adopted from Motley Zoo come with a leash and Martingale collar. Each dog also receives a "Tour Gear Bag" full of brochures, coupons, and supplies for your new pup! Please visit our website www.motleyzoorescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
birthday 10/19/2022 Benson is a really good boy. He has territorial aggression and would need to be in a home with no kids and a large yard. He is a very good listener, loves to play catch, loves the water but hasn’t fully swam yet but he figures it out. He could use some leash training during walking as he’s normally off leash at the park.

These pups are in Tacoma, Washington too!

Story
Echo is the best, she's very sweet and well behaved around people and dogs. My former roommate adopted her and I've been taking care of her for almost 3 years, but I've been dealing with injuries from car accidents and trying to work through them, and I can't care for her. She gets walked 1-3 miles per day and goes to doggie day care weekly, but she'll probably need more care than that for a few weeks while she gets adjusted to her new home. Her first owners neglected her so she has a bit of separation anxiety, especially towards me.

Story
This girl is up for anything! Whether you are lounging on the couch or heading out for a run, Silverspoon will be right there with you, keeping pace and her love for life. She is potty trained, kennel trained, and has impeccable leash manners, making her a breeze to take on walks. She is gentle, loves kids, and gets along well with both small and large dogs.

She is ready to be the pawfect addition to any family. She was transported to us from El Paso, Tx.

Story
Moon Moon was adopted from the Humane Society three years ago. At that time, he was thought to be about 2 years old, making him about 5 years old. He is a very loving and energetic dog. He is also very, very smart. Currently, Moon Moon shares a home with two school aged children and 7 cats (along with the adults). He can get defensive about his food but is otherwise great with everyone. Moon Moon hasn't had a ton of experience with other dogs but has been friendly, if not overly enthusiastic. An ideal home would have a big fenced yard and humans who can engage with Moon Moon often.
