American Staffordshire Terrier puppies and dogs in Spokane Valley, Washington

Scale the heights with Denali! Meet Denali! Denali is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section).  Sometimes rescue can be a lot like climbing a mountain; you need to take a lot of switchbacks before you get to where you want to be. Lovely Denali is an example of this. Back in January of 2021, we rescued her and her pups from a shelter in Texas. The puppies quickly found new homes, and sweet, endearing Denali was adopted by an older couple who fell in love with her.When a death and severe medical issues left her adopter unable to care for Denali, he returned her to us. She was seriously overweight and suffering from bladder stones, which were successfully removed in July. Her foster has been working diligently on her diet (lean meat and noodles are a favorite!), and Denali has lost 30 pounds and is eager to show off her svelte new bod! Sweet natured and goofy, Denali gets along well with dogs and people (adults and children), and she is also comfortable being on her own. She will join you for an explore or trot up to you for pets and ear rubs. After losing one third of her body weight, Denali joins in romps with the other dogs in her foster home and enjoys playing outside. She bounds around the yard, stopping to encourage the resident dogs to join her in her games. Denali is always up for a ride in the car or a brisk walk with her people. Losing weight has made a huge difference in her quality of life.  Denali’s ideal home? Denali is looking for someone to love and to love her in return, who will support her on her weight loss journey (her ideal weight is around 45 pounds). She will need to remain on prescription food for the rest of her life to prevent more bladder stones, and she may be prone to urinary tract infections, so an adopter will need to be watchful for these.Denali would love a walking partner and snuggle buddy. Are you ready to scale the heights with Denali? “Fur-st Impressions” are very important! Schedule a meet and greet with Denali 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 Denali’s adoption.

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.

Mister is a joyful, sweet-natured boy with a heart as big as his smile! This handsome guy is the perfect mix of playfulness and cuddles—he’s always up for a game of fetch with his favorite ball, followed by cozy snuggles with his people. Mister is one of those dogs who can light up any room with his wagging tail and infectious, happy grin. Friendly, adventurous, and great with kids, Mister is truly the total package. He does well with other dogs as long as introductions are balanced and easy-going. However, Mister is not a fan of feline friends, so he would do best in a cat-free home. Potty-trained and crate-trained, he’s got great manners and is ready to fit right into your home with ease. Mister is currently heartworm positive, but don’t worry—his treatment will be covered, and he's ready to heal up in a loving, forever home. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and spirited companion who will shower you with kisses and fill your days with joy, Mister is waiting for you! Heartworm is unfortunately quite common in Texas due to the warm, humid climate that allows mosquitoes, which spread heartworm, to thrive year-round. Many dogs in Texas face this risk, but the good news is that heartworm treatment is very effective. With proper medical care, including the treatment provided at adoption, dogs can fully recover and go on to lead long, healthy, and happy lives. With preventive medication, heartworm can be kept at bay, allowing dogs to enjoy an active, fulfilling life with their families. To add Mister to your family, simply send us an email at springbranchrescue@gmail.com for adoption and fee information. He is wagging his tail and wiggling his butt at just the thought of finding his forever home and his story is just beginning! His next chapter could be with you! Our adoption fee includes transport, all age required shots, microchip, & a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian. We look forward to receiving your application! We will review it shortly and give you a call to set up a phone interview.  We are thrilled to offer transport services every 3 weeks from Houston to the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, and the East Coast, ensuring that these incredible pets can find their way to you no matter where you are. This makes the adoption process smooth and convenient, allowing you to focus on welcoming your new family member with open arms. Why should you adopt from a Texas Rescue? Because you will be giving one of our many dogs and cats in need a chance for a better future away from a city that has an animal crisis. We are heartbroken each day with the many incredible and loving animals found wandering our streets. So often are these animals dumped, abandoned, or born on the streets and never find a home to call their own. We are giving them the chance that every animal deserves. We know that since you are looking to add a furry family member to your home here, you will provide the love, care, and attention they need to thrive. Thank you for considering adopting and not shopping. ##2219801##

**** THIS DOG IS IN FOSTER READ BELOW FOR MORE INFO***Hi, I’m Buddah! I came back to CAC after my owner had to move, but now I’m thriving in my foster home with both cats and dogs. My foster mom says I’m doing awesome! I love meeting new people and get along great with all my furry foster siblings. I’m adventurous and love exploring, plus I LOVE playing in the little pools we have here! If you enjoy going to the lake or have a pool in your backyard, that would be amazing! I can’t wait to go on my next adventure with my forever family. Please make sure you have the time, space, and resources to care for me for the rest of my life. You can reach out to my foster mom Liz at 218-393-7829 to set up a meeting with me!

Hi, I’m Angel! I was an owner surrender to CAC because my owner’s health made it hard to care for me. I’m a sweet, well-behaved girl who always goes potty outside, and I absolutely love spending time with my people. I’d do best in a home without other dogs, but I’ve lived with a cat and have had positive experiences with kids. I have lots of love to give and can’t wait to share it all with you! While I’m house-trained and okay being alone, I’d really love an owner who can be with me most of the day. Before you consider making me part of your family, please make sure you have the time, space, and resources to care for me for the rest of my life. I’m so excited to meet my forever family!

Hi, My name is GoGo! I flew all the way up here from a shelter down in LA. I was brought up here because I do very well socially with other dogs. Although we still are not positive on how I will do small animals. I am very sweet with kids! I am a smart boy who would love to go on a hike or just hang around the house as long as you`re there with me. I really love to be with my people. I mean who just loves my ears! Sometimes I think I can hear better than most other dogs. Please be sure you have the right amount of time space and resources to care for me for the rest of my life.

Hello! My name is Zander, and I came here through my local animal control. My past is a bit of a mystery, so it’s unknown how I would do with other dogs, young children, or cats. What I do know is that I love to play, play, play! I’m looking for someone who’s ready to teach me some manners—while I already know a few basic commands, I’m eager to learn more, especially if treats are involved. I’m a good boy who would thrive with an experienced bully breed owner. If you think this handsome face could be your perfect companion, come meet me! Just make sure you have the time, space, and resources to give me a loving home for life.
