Mr Twinkle

Shiba Inu Hound (Unknown Type)

Story
Mr. Twinkle is a male Shiba Inu/Thai Hound mix. He weight about 31lbs and is about 11 months old. Mr. Twinkle was found tied up 24/7 on a shorty leash in Thailand at just 2months old. His pictures reflect his journey since taken in as pup. He is now 9 months old and doing great. Mr. Twinkle is loyal, great on and off leash and loves walking, and playing with dogs. He has a fun quirky personality and is finding himself as he is coming into adulthood. He can be toy and food aggressive sometimes with dogs but not humans. Best to feed him away from other dogs. We are unsure about children currently. So I cant say for certain he would be good fit. He is ok with cats but needs to be reminded of his place with them at times. He is still a young dog with a bit of a chaotic start in life and needs a steady confident owner to call his own to help his sort it all out. He is UTD on all vaccines and is neutered and chipped. He had to have surgery on both his patella’s but is doing well. Currently, his activity level needs to be monitored for a bit to allow him more time to continue to heal. If you think you can give Mr. Twinkle a good forever home he is waiting to hear from you.

Jack

Border Collie Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 6 yrs 7 mos
Puyallup, WA
Size

Story
Jack is a male 20-Month-old sweet heart of a German Coolie **posted as a cattle dog/border collie mix because we didn’t have German Coolie in the drop-down list to choose from**Jack really needs a job and would be perfect for herding/ranch work. Imported from Australia and born to working stock dogs, Jack has amazing natural herding ability. Like others of his breed, Jack is an intelligent dog who has an impeccable work ethic and a strong desire to please. But Jack’s current situation is urban with little opportunity to work stock so re-homing him is the best option to let him do what he loves to do. Jack is dog-reactive to unfamiliar dogs but currently lives with and is highly compatible with dogs familiar to him, and has become comfortable with other dogs he has been introduced to over time. If the introduction is done appropriately, he will work and play with other dogs but is very fear reactive to unknown dogs that might approach. This makes his current urban home challenging as neighborhood walks frequently involve encounters with new dogs. At this point we are looking for the RIGHT home with owners who have an interest in herding or have opportunities for solo dog adventures and who understand reactive dogs and strategies to work through dog-dog introductions and interactions. No families with small children, only older children, will be considered. Jack’s original owner is a canine fitness and sport training specialist with a number of other dog training specializations, including nose work. Jack is well trained and she is in no hurry to get rid of him at all. Again, we are looking for the right home for him to thrive in and only the right situation for Jack will be considered. Jack's re-homing fee is $400. If you think you can provide a good home for Jack and give him a job, we would like to hear from you.

Bella

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Puyallup, WA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bella is the sweetest goofball you will ever meet. She’s a snuggler and thinks she’s a lap dog despite her size. Her family is getting divorced and is unable to keep her. She’s usually good with kids and dogs, but is extremely stressed right now with all the changes. I would recommend at this time that the family that chooses her has no other dogs or young kids around until she is settled. She has a scar on her rear leg from surgery last year on the equivalent of her ACL.

She sleeps at the end of the bed or in the hall just outside the door. Pepper likes to run but also to lay down in the yard and soak up the rays. She is very good at being left at home while we work and go to school.

Story
I've had Lila since she was 5 weeks old and she truly has been the love of my life. She is loyal, sweet, and so playful. I'm looking for a loving, patient, and active new family with land for her to run or at least a decent yard. Lila is a 7 year old Australian shepherd/ border collie mix and so she has a ton of energy so she'd do very well with someone as active as her. She loves hiking and runs especially. She is also not very good around little kids. Although she may be a bit protective, she is a very loving and loyal dog. She's probably one of the best cuddlers around! We love her very much, we just don't have the space to take care of her and she is no longer welcome at our apartments. With the proper time, attention, and training she'd be the perfect companion for someone. I wish it could be me, however, my financial circumstances don't allow me the time to keep her and find another living situation where she's allowed.
