This kind, gentle girl is a 2 year old Australian Kelpie mix, that weighs 30 pounds. Sally is smart, athletic, and on the shy side. She takes her time to warm up to new people, but once she gets to know you, she is very loyal and loving! She is dog friendly, potty trained, crate trained, and does well on a leash. She is food motivated too, and loves her toys! This little beauty would excel at having a job like agility. She is so smart, and loves learning new tricks. Sally is pretty spot on energy-wise for a dog of her mix. She would benefit from someone who wanted to work with her on training and learning some fun new tricks! Sally would make a wonderful walking, hiking, all around adventure buddy! She would love to be someone’s companion and best friend! Maybe your resident dog is wanting a friend? At only 30 pounds, she’s really the perfect size, and might be exactly what you’ve been missing in your life!

Story
Welcome Dixie to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 9-month old Smooth Coated Collie/Kelpie is our best guess on breed. She weighs 50 pounds. She is very very loyal to her people and would be great with someone wanting a dog to go with you places or if you work from home and want a loyal partner. She is crate trained, potty trained, good on a leash and good in a car. She was found as a stray and her foster mom has been putting this girl through dog training. She is doing really good in her classes and is learning some more basic commands. She is a higher energy dog and would be great for a runner, jogger or hiker type person. She is lower on the shed scale. She has a lot of personality and would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Her best home would be with a fenced yard. She could run and play off some energy. She likes you to be outside with her as she wants to be around her family over exploring the yard all along without you. She would be fine with children as well. We like them to be 8 or older. She is up on her vaccinations, spayed and ready for her forever home. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland(Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. We can put you in touch with her foster mom after you put in and get your application approved. We can also set up a meet and greet if you are local in Texas. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org/ See her cute video.

Story
Hi, Tassa is my name and if you want an all-around easy dog to get along with - I'm your girl! I love to swim, run, and play. I can already imagine all the fun things we could do together. But I am also very content to lay by your feet and just chill. Don't worry - I'll periodically give you my paw to let you know I'm there and available for cuddling. I don't need constant attention, but I'll take as much as you want to give.I can be a bit shy when we first meet but I warm up quickly and then we are best friends.I am still a young girl who is very curious and learning new things all the time. I getting pretty good at walking on a leash without pulling - and with your help, I'm sure I'll be perfect soon! And did I mention I love treats? I already know how to sit for a treat. Being food-motivated makes it easy to train me. I get along great with most dogs after we are introduced, but I can be a bit vocal with dogs that I don’t know. Once we are introduced, we're good friends. In fact, I go for walks on our La Paz Malecon every Wednesday just so I can meet new dogs and people and be a social girl. If you like a great dog - who has the energy to play when you are ready, will chill and lay at your feet while you work, and be ready for cuddles when it's time -- I'm definitely the girl for you.If you think we could have a happy life together, then just click on the "Apply to Adopt" button. I will be waiting for you!Lots of love to giveTassa To get more information go to https://hope4lapawz.org/adopt and click on the dog's photo. There you will see any videos, more photos and details.

I know I need to go outside to do my potty.I love to run and be active and athletic so if you are into that too, we could be amazing together.If it sounds like we could be a match, then just fill in an application and we can meet on a Zoom call.Lots of love to give,Trixie To get more information go to https://hope4lapawz.org/adopt and click on the dog's photo.

Story
Meet Dana🖤 She was brought to Korean city shelter pregnant and gave birth to 8 puppies. They were rescued all together. While all of well-raised puppies found their forever families and left the Adogs Center, only Dana stayed to wait for her family. * With People: Tends to be shy at first, but opens up quickly if people approach her slowly. Once she feels comfortable, she becomes affectionate and enjoys asking people to pet her. Due to some past trauma, she is a bit afraid of adult men. * With Dogs: Gets along well with her dog friends without any issues, but she may growl with jealousy if another dog intervenes. She is currently undergoing training to manage her anger when a dog friend doesn’t respond to her invitation to play. * Potty Training: Has only outdoor potty breaks at the center. * Growls from time to time when she feels jealous of another dog friend or if the dog ignores her signal to play, so caution is necessary. * Is afraid to be trapped alone in the room, so she needs separation anxiety training from the start.

These pups are in Gig Harbor, Washington too!

Story
Trinks was saved from an overcrowded high kill shelter in Roswell, NM. She is approx 1 year 4 months old.  Dog Name: Trinks Good with dogs? Will need slow very careful introductions but would do best in a home without another pup Good with kids? yes, she loves people of all ages Good with cats? Yes, doesn’t seem to pay much attention to my cat unless my cat gets her attention and tries to play with her.  Has experience on a leash? She is doing very well at leash training. Occassionally she will pull if there is a critter she'd like to chase or someone she would like to say hi to.  Potty trained? Yes  Crate trained? Yes, Trinks is very comfortable in her crate and it’s her safe space. She doesn’t mind one bit hanging out in her crate while we are gone.  Where does the dog stay when it is home alone? Crate Where does the dog sleep? Crate  What does the dog eat? She is currently eating open nature turkey formula (with grains). She loves freeze dried beef liver and freeze dried duck treats the most.  Temperament/Personality: She is energetic and loves to carry toys around the house. She loves people and has been super friendly with everyone she has met and immediately wants to be pet by them.  What does the dog's ideal home look like? Ideally she will live in a house with a yard so she can run non stop. She enjoys bounding in the yard and playing with her people. She will need active owners. She enjoys a good bone after play time and loves to cuddle on the couch. She would probably do best in a home with no other dogs. She seems to be very intimidated by bigger dogs.  What are the dog's strengths? Loves to play and very good with people.  What is the dog still working on? What can they improve? She is selectively dog reactive, when we’re out walking some dogs she starts growling at and others she ignores. She seems to be most reactive towards dogs bigger than her.  If your foster were a celebrity, who would they be? Some crazy Diva type   If your foster dog were on a dating site, what would their profile say?  I love outdoor adventures and wish I could spend all day walking running or hiking around. I need activities to put my mind to work and have a hard time staying still for too long.  Beach or Mountains? Mountains, Trinks would make a great hiking companion. She loves sniffing trees and plants and would probably do great on trails. Squeaky/Bouncy/Chewy, what do they look for in a toy? She loves to rip up toys but we noticed she swallows some of the pieces so we have been giving her Kongs and she loves chewing on those and getting treats out of them.  Complete this sentence “My foster wishes they had a friend with whom they could share many outdoor adventures.” What’s your foster’s favorite dessert? Everything! Trinks has not met a treat she did not like. She is extremely food motivated.   Trinks did great at the park! She was curious and social saying “hi” to new people. She observed ducks and other dogs at the park quietly. She is an adorable petite size and is even smaller in real life than her photos portray.  When she’s excited, she does full-body wiggles of joy, little happy tippy-taps, and her ears pop up and down.  Although she is a little demure, she is SO very sweet and quick to trust. She will snuggle up quickly and seeks love and affection even from strangers.  She loves doing sniffy-walks but also redirects well. She will also come and “check in” with people during her walks, asking for snuggles and hugs. She gives gentle kisses and likes men, women, and children.  She takes high value snacks politely. She also rides very nicely in cars and is an excellent passenger.  After her walk, she appreciated being wrapped up in a fuzzy blanket and sitting in a lap.  Adoption $350 www.northwestwagrescue.org ##2065634##

Story
Dog Name: Fossi (aks Foss-Foss, Foster, Mr. Man) Age: Approx 3-4 years old Gender: Male Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Boxer  Good with dogs? Yes, very! see notes Good with cats? No.  Good with kids? Unknown, not recommended What is Fossi's rescue story? The adorable Fossi is a survivor! He was saved from the euthanasia list in New Mexico in April 2023 and arrived in WA at the end of September 2023.  Temperment/Personality: He is extremely curious, smart, and a total goofball. He is a wonderful companion and wants to be a part of everything you do...whether that's running, cooking, going on errands in the car (he is the cutest sight in your sideview mirror), or cuddling and napping. While he is a combination of two very active breeds, he can read the room and knows when it's time to hang out and relax! He is such a good snuggler...and has the best little snores. Fossi is AMAZING with other doggoes. The owner of the boarding facility he stays at loves that he is "her go-to dog who can be introduced to and play with any of the other dogs!" He would really love another pup in his forever home to show him the ropes. His best friends include his ten-pound foster sister, a mini dachshund, and our former foster, a 60-pound heeler/pittie mix. What does Fossi's ideal home look like? Fossi deserves a patient forever family or person who is comfortable taking people introductions slowly. While his foster dad immediately gained his trust, some men are scary to Fossi upon first meeting. If you are willing to give him the time he deserves to learn to trust you, you will be rewarded with the most loving, loyal best friend. He has great leash manners and LOVES going for walks and runs. His best life is with someone who works from home, or is home often and can provide him with lots of mental and physical stimulation, or someone who is willing to take him on all their travels! He would thrive with one or more dog siblings. Fossi is currently working with his fosters and Zoom Room Tacoma on introductions to new people. Kids are currently unknown and not recommended. Apply to meet this silly, resilient, affectionate ACD mix. Adoption fee $250 www.northwestwagrescue.org ##2206330##
