Story
My name is Gravy, I am a three month old (11/14/2019), shepherd/pittie mix little girl, soon to be a big girl. My foster mom thinks I will be about 50 to 60 lbs when I grow up. My personality is fun and full of adventure. I am an explorer and I love learning about all the things around me. Right now, I am learning to walk well on a lead (check out my VIDEO!) so there will be many fun adventures in my future. My foster family is quite incredible, they have given me experiences with other dogs, children, and I have known nothing but love and kindness since I was born. Truly, they have given me the best gift ever; a safe place to develop, and socialize with my siblings until it is time to have my own forever family. That time has come and I am ready to head to the PNW and transition to experience an active, dog-loving environment. Please go to rangersreach.org to complete an adoption application. Thank you for considering a RESCUED pup! Adoption fee is $450, plus $250 transportation fee (from Houston, Texas to Seattle, Washington). Plus $100 spay deposit which is 100% refundable upon verification of spay surgery by a specific date. Before you get attached to me, read all the way to the bottom. You will see that I am still in Texas- My rescue will make all arrangements for me to travel to you as soon as I am adopted. Note: The above bio on the dog reflects the behavior we have observed in the dog's foster home. We provide adopters current information on our dogs; we cannot guarantee they will behave in the same manner in a different environment with new owners. Our adoption fees vary, according to species, size, age and other issues. Discounts apply in some cases. Our dogs have been dewormed, heartworm tested (if over 6 months), started on heartworm preventative, flea/tick preventative, vaccinated for bordetella, dhppv, rabies (if age appropriate) and microchipped. If old enough they are spayed or neutered, otherwise it will be noted and under a foster to adopt contract until completed and an additional deposit of $100 will be required- deposit will be refunded upon request and proof of surgery. A transportation fee of $250 is required and covers health certificate to travel as well as transportation. Please be advised that our dogs are adopted to their forever families prior to being transported. Unfortunately, it is not possible to meet the dogs in person prior to adoption. We will Facetime and you may speak with the dog foster family. We only send well behaved, well rounded dogs, sending anything other fails the dogs. We expect our dogs to be adopted by families who understand- these are rescue dogs, they will need time to decompress, routine and stability. We put our lives into saving these dogs- we expect their new families to be prepared for a lifetime commitment before applying- dogs are not recyclable.

Story
Hi my name is Gemma. I am a four month old hound/terrier little girl who is the cutest scruffy pup. My foster mom has told me I have an adorable spirit for life and would love an active family who goes on adventures, walks, running, hiking, or camping would be great. I am working on learning how to sit on command, kennel-training, walking well on a leash, as well as enjoying car rides. So many dogs from Texas enjoy a fantastic life in the northern states; I look forward to becoming one of them soon! Please go to rangersreach.org and complete an adoption application if you are interested in having me adding some joy to your life. Thank you for considering a rescued pup!

Story
My boyfriend and I adopted Ruca from my friend when she was just six weeks old. She is now 1 year and 4 months old. She acquired parvovirus when we was just eight weeks old and missed out on some of that early socialization because we were afraid to take her out a lot after she recovered. It only allowed me to put two breeds down in her profile but she also has border collie in her mix of genes. I love Ruca very much and I am sure you will too once she warms up. Ruca is an anxious doggy which makes her reactive toward other dogs, she will generally do fine at the dog park but needs to be watched closely in case there is a dog that makes her too nervous. Ruca needs an owner who will ensure she is active whether that be having a yard to run around in or taking her out to play fetch with her. She needs an experienced owner who will work with her to becoming more social. I know there is an owner that can provide these for her better than I can. Please consider adopting my sweet girl.

Story
Meet Bizirik Bizirik is a very lovable 6 month old Black Labrador Retriever weighing around 35lbs His foster mom knows him best, so we will let her tell you about Bizirik: Bizirik is named after the Basque word meaning "ALIVE". I have owned many dogs in the past (German Shepards, Terriers, Mini Dobermans, Jack Russels, Labs) and I have to say Bizirik is the smartest and most affectionate dog I have ever owned. He is very clever in knowing what people in the family are getting ready to do and he gauges his actions accordingly. He knows when we are settled in and he will not be going out, but when he senses it is time for a walk he really perks up. Bizirik is very content to spend time with someone at home for long periods of time and he likes to have the occasional interaction to give him the feeling of belonging, so this is why a multi person family would be a good home for Bizirik. Ideally, Bizirik should be taken out for 2 or 3 daily walks of at least 20 minutes, although he will happily go out for longer walks or runs. Bizirik is very socially mature and friendly. He is also very good and friendly with people and really very pleasant in social situations. I regularly take him to my local pet store, and Hardware Store and he is always gentle and brings a smile to everyones' faces. I would like to see Bizirik move to a good family and know that he will be a really positive and addition to people's lives. Bizirik is neutered and up to date on all shots and vaccines and microchipped. Before you get attached to me, read all the way to the bottom. You will see that I am still in Texas- My rescue will make all arrangements for me to travel to you as soon as I am adopted.
