Australian Cattle Dog puppies and dogs in Medical Lake, Washington

Meet Jewel! Though she may only be 35 pounds, this lady’s large personality is truly dazzling! Great with adults and kids of all ages, Jewel is always excited to meet new people when she is out and about, and can’t wait to greet them with kisses. Some of her favorite pastimes are playing chase and getting her zoomies out at the dog park, but is also just as content playing with her toys at home or even snuggling up on the couch to people-watch after a fun, active day. Though she is still learning, Jewel has already mastered a few basic commands, and continues to work on her recall, as she can sometimes get distracted by all of the adorable, small critters that live outside. In addition to getting lots of time to play, Jewel thrives on daily walks and getting the opportunity to put her super-sniffer to work at every nook and cranny, as she is very curious and lives to explore the world around her. So much so, in fact, that she’s even taught herself a few magic tricks, such as squeezing through loose fence boards or slipping out of her collar. While Jewel does love time outside to adventure, she can get a bit loud and sassy when she spots unfamiliar dogs, and isn’t afraid to let them know that she means business, (even though we all know she’s all talk).  BONUS: Jewel is fully potty trained, crate trained, and sleeps through the night! Great With: Other dogs and kids! Ideal Home: Jewel’s ideal home would be with an active family or individual, (potentially with a canine-companion!), eager to provide training, enrichment, and take her on adventures! Jewel does best with some sort of daily movement, such as walks, running, hiking, or even swimming, and would love a buddy she can play with throughout the day, as she prefers not to be left alone for too long.  This girl rings true to her name, and truly is a gem of only the finest qualities! If you’re looking for a social, curious, and affectionate companion, Jewel is the girl for you!   At Path of Hope Rescue, we understand that “Fur-st Impressions” are very important, and that when a dog, (like Jewel), has been available for awhile, potential adopters start to wonder, "what is wrong with this dog?", and question if they have behavior issues or have been poorly socialized. In most scenarios, that is not the case though! Sadly, some dogs just simply get overlooked. Our goal at Path of Hope Rescue is to eliminate those concerns for our potential adopters, and ensure that you and your pup are perfectly paired, which is why we assign every applicant their own personal Matchmaker! To see if Jewel would be the perfect fit for you and your family, schedule a meet and greet before applying by emailing us at Fur-stImpressions@pathofhoperescue.com. (A completed Adoption Application will be required after the meet and greet to move forward with Jewel’s adoption.)   What is Path of Hope Rescue’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 your potential pup at the home of the foster family (the process may differ slightly for long distance adopters). Bring your potential pup home for a no commitment In Home Trial. In Home Trials are a minimum of (2) nights for a puppy and one week for an adult. Your Matchmaker will check in with you during this time. Sign the adoption paperwork and adopt your new family member! 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.

Blue is a nice boy who loves to play fetch! He is an absolute play monster who is listed as 'high energy'. Blue was surrendered to our facility (7/8) due to his living situation. Since then, Blue has been patiently waiting not only to play, but to be taken to his forever home.
