Story

Animal Profile: Rita is an estimated 18-month old 55 lb now spayed female pitbull who was a stray intake to the high-kill Downey animal shelter in LA County. She was assessed to be social and friendly with people and dogs. We will share more about her as we get to know her in foster care. Shelter Notes: Meet Rita, a playful and energetic dog looking for her forever home! Rita has a vibrant personality and loves to engage with other dogs, though she can be a little forward in her approach. When she first met her kennel neighbors, she was eager to interact, barking and jumping to get their attention. After a quick use of a pet corrector, Rita was calm and relaxed, greeting her handler with a wagging tail and a friendly demeanor. On walks, she is confident, leading the way with a slight pull on the leash as she bypasses other dogs without issue. In play, Rita is a fun-loving and active companion. She loves to engage in chase and wrestling games, often taking the lead in initiating play and happily allowing other dogs to chase and tackle her. She's very tolerant, even when other dogs mouth her ears or legs during play. Rita enjoys taking breaks from her playful antics to solicit petting before diving back into the action. With a social, wiggly demeanor and an affectionate, push-pull play style, Rita would do best in a home with high-energy, large dog companions. She's a wonderful, spirited dog who's ready for adoption and is sure to bring joy to an active household! Foster Updates: Rita is very much a puppy - with all the puppy behaviors in a large body - but she has been a quick study learning manners like not mouthing and jumping up. She is very smart and eager to learn. Rita loves to snuggle and watch TV with you (yes she watches TV!) and her sweet face will just melt your heart. She LOVES toys, though she's a pitty so the stuffies don't last very long. She hasn't shown destructive tendencies aside from her toys, though. She prefers toys and affection to show or furniture chewing -- good girl! Rita has been doing well for down time in her crate and is happy to sleep there at night without a peep, except her adorable snoring. She has played well with some dogs in foster care but is too forward with others, so she will need the right match in a dog buddy; she would also thrive as the only dog. Rita will need a feline free home since she has shown some prey drive. This sweet affectionate girl will be a wonderful loving companion in a home that can provide structure, basic training, and of course snuggles! Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550, which includes spay/neuter, current core vaccinations per AVMA standards, negative heartworm test and microchip with lifetime registration. Adoption fees benefit all the animals in our rescue, and may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 non-profit organization.

Story

FOREVER HOME NEEDED! Meet Huck! He is an adorable ~35 lb, ~1 year old Pitbull/Cattle Dog mix who came to us with his brother, Micah from an overcrowded shelter in CA. He has been DNA tested and is a major mutts with lots of breeds! (Pitbull, Herding breeds, Chow, American Bulldog and German Shepherd!) Huck is living in a loving foster home and this is what his foster mom has to say about him! Don't be fooled by Huck's serious face and dramatic eyeliner - he's no drama queen. He's more of a Prince Charming :) Extreme cuddlebug: loves to loll his head into yours while you're on the sofa together, or when you're driving. Wants to sleep on the pillows curled up right next to you. Will put his paws on you for pets and hugs. Food motivated: he does best with a slow feeder toys for meals and loves treats for training! Active and agile: when he gets the zoomies, he races from bed to sofa to bed to sofa. Parkour parkour! Dog friendly: Loves to with his dog friends! He would love another dog friend in the home. Bonds deeply with his person and will look for them, stand by them, follow them from room to room, and does a great recall for that person. Until the bond is solid, he needs to be on leash or in a well-fenced area (yard, dog park) Rides very well in the car! Takes time to warm up to kids younger than 10, but he is getting better! He has discovered they can be the source of many delicious dropped food morsels. Very happy to take long naps on the bed, on the sofa, on the armchair in your office. He loves to curl up like a bagel in his favorite spots! He is a popular boy at the morning neighborhood gathering and "babysitters" have described him as a lovebug. Huck is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped and neutered. His adoption fee is $450.

English Bulldog

Female, Young

Size

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Animal Profile: Penny is a 18-month-old, 65 lb spayed female English Bulldog mix. She has a tight, clean coat and an adorable underbite. She has guardian-breed tendencies and will need a breed-savvy owner able to provide appropriate leadership. She is loyal to her family and loves to snuggle. She enjoys playing with other dogs but requires a human who can supervise and advocate for appropriate interactions or she is prone to bullying behavior. She is currently being fostered in a home with two other dogs and is crate-trained, house-trained, and has basic obedience training. She will benefit from structure, leadership, and ongoing training. Once acclimated in a home environment, she loves to snuggle and play and has a goofy, loving personality. Adopter Profile: Single family residence required Secure fenced yard preferred Large breed experience required Bully breed experience preferred Other balanced dogs, dog-savvy cats, and older children considered on case by case basis Adoption Info: The adoption fee is $550, which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, flea/tick treatment, deworming, and microchip with lifetime registration. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. Animal History: Penny and her siblings were a surprise litter - their mother was adopted from a local family when she was unknowingly pregnant, so he got much more than he bargained for when she had puppies soon after her adoption. Penny was born on 12/09/22; one of the littermates was DNA tested and so presumably all littermates are 75% English Bulldog, 12.5% German Shepherd, 12.5% Rhodesian Ridgeback. As puppies, these dogs were playful and engaging. Penny was adopted as a puppy to a family who was not prepared for the tendencies of this breed combination. Without any formal training, she developed territorial behaviors in the home and on walks that ultimately led the family to return her to the rescue. She has since been evaluated and fostered in a DGS foster home. She is currently available for adoption to the greater Seattle area. November 6, 2024, 5:36 pm

WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Heidi - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! My name is Heidi, full of youthful exuberance for life, innocence and curiosity. Ready to crawl right into your heart (won't take long either!!) and be a part of a family...YOUR family! I am still a youngster yet, a big puppy at heart! I have lots of energy and am quite agile. I could be a great candidate for obedience classes and maybe even some fun ones like agility classes. I'm a smart cookie (i know cuz my foster mom tell me so!) and catch on quickly. At 11 months and around 45lbs, I shouldn't get much bigger at my adult weight. What a perfect size for...everything! Neighborhood strolls, nature hikes(aaaah, all those wonderful tantalizing smells), camping, being a co-pilot for errand runs or trips to the park! You name it, I'm ready to give it a whirl and have a blast too (with whatever it is) just cuz we're doing it together!! And the bestest part is that I'm also small enough that I don't hog the whole couch for my cherished cuddle time!! My foster mom wanted you to know this about me - -she is housebroken -she wants to be a lap dog; -she would fit well with an adult home with older children; -with her high prey drive she should be in a home without small dogs or cats but will do well with her size or larger size breed of dogs; -she is a fast learner and will shine with an owner that will include her in their everyday life adventures; -she is crate trained; -she follows basic commands and walks well on leash; -she thrives on daily walks; -she’s a family dog and will make a fabulous family member; -she loves walks, hikes, exploring, tug of war and games using her nose and sparking her intelligence; -she’s quite agile and shows ability in figuring out how to jump over or crawl under set obstacles. She is happy, fun loving and eager to bring joy to her forever home! As my short sleek coat is low maintenance in the grooming department, making me more of a wash-n-to type of gal. And you do know what that means don't you?!! Oh yep yep, lots of extra time in the 'spoil me rotten' department. And you know that's what it's all about!! ;) Big on personality, smart and inquisitive, affectionate and sweet, my oh my I have a boatload of great traits going on, oh and don't forget my stunning good looks, to make me a great family addition, I just need the family...could it be YOUR family?
