8 year old Ellie is a 41 pound Australian Shepherd. Isn't she gorgeous? Ellie is a tender hearted girl who is dreaming of a forever family that will love her and cherish her. She is a gentle soul and is a friend to everyone she meets. Ellie enjoys going for car rides and she would love a family that will include her in all their adventures. This sweetheart is ready to go when you are!

Ellie is living with another dog in her foster home and she has been very respectful. Her history with cats is unknown, but her rescuers believe she would be fine with a dog-savvy cat. Because of the quick and unpredictable nature of young children her rescuers are asking for a home without children under 8 years of age.

Ellie would love a securely fenced yard where she can soak up the warmth of the sunshine. She has impeccable house manners and you can take her anywhere. This girl sounds amazing!

Ellie is posted for Save-A-Mutt. She is being fostered in Snohomish County, WA. If you'd like to learn more about Ellie, please email: [email protected] or check out their Petfinder link: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/ellie-75435248/wa/silvana/save-a-mutt-wa630/

Good Morning Friends! Will you please hit your share buttons for this sweet bonded pair today ?

11 year old Lulubell and Teddybear are best friends who have lived together their entire lives. They are hoping they will find a home where they will remain together. Lulubell is the reddish blonde cocker who weighs 20 pounds. Teddybear weighs 16 pounds, he appears to be a poodle mix. They are described as being loving dogs who wonderful companions.

Both dogs are good with other dogs who are their size and smaller. We are told they are afraid of big dogs. Teddybear and Lulubelle have not been observed around cats. It is unknown how they would react to a home with a cat. The pair have had a lot of exposure to children and have done well with gentle, respectful kids.

Teddybear and Lulubell are accustomed to having access to a dog door to go out for potty breaks as needed. As long as they can remain together, they have no issues being alone when their humans must leave. Both dogs will bark to say "hi" but they calm down quickly and are not prone to a lot of barking.

Lulubell and Teddybear walk well on no pull harnesses. Both can manage stairs at this time, though Teddybear does have arthritis in his hips. Teddybear takes an anti-inflammatory pill for his arthritis and medication for his liver. This should be continued for Teddybear. Their adopter should be willing and able to provide lifelong veterinary care and grooming for both dogs.

The hope is that this sweet, bonded pair will find a home soon as their owners need to go into a senior living home where their dogs cannot go.

Lulubell and Teddybear are located Bothell, WA. For contact information please email: [email protected]

ADOPTED!!!

Happy Thursday Friends! Let's share a senior shelter dog who is certainly hoping his adopter will come for him today. 🐾🐾

“Hello there! My name is Abel. I am a 61 pound pitbull.

I made my way to the shelter as a stray at the beginning of February 2025.

I’m a sweet boy looking for a new place to call my own. In the shelter, I’ve been a perfect gentleman - polite for leashing, a nice walker and I keep my kennel pretty clean as well. I think I could do well in a variety of different types of homes! I like to be active but I like to have my couch potato time as well. I would do best as the only dog in the home where I can get all the snuggles and attention to myself.

I am a spirited dog with a fun-loving personality! I am still working on my manners, so I would do best with a family who is willing to work with me and help me become the best dog I can be!

I do have a small growth on my neck that my adopter should checked out by a vet.

I have "crepitus" in my knees (sounds crunchy!) which could be from arthritis or an injury. I would appreciate relief from that. A vet could prescribe something to help me become more comfortable. I hear even humans get a little crunchy as they age!

I am neutered, current on vaccinations, and microchipped! My adoption comes with many benefits, including 30 days of opt-in pet insurance through Trupanion. My adoption fee has been reduced! This adoption fee includes a King County pet license (if applicable).

If you and your family are ready to fall in love with my pawesome self, please come down to the Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) to visit me! You can find out more about me and my other friends on our website at www.kingcounty.gov/adoptapet. If you have more questions, you can contact RASKC via phone at 206-296-7387 (PETS) or email [email protected]. If you want to meet me or other pets in person, RASKC is open from noon to 5pm Monday through Friday, and noon to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday. Our address is 21615 64th Ave S, Kent, WA 98032.”

Calling all the Shiba Inu lovers!! Sensei is an adorable Shiba who came into the shelter as a stray. It's hard to believe no one ever came looking for him. Estimated to be about 11 years old, Sensei weighs 25 pounds.

Typical of his breed, he is a sensitive fellow who can take a minute to warm up in new situations. Once comfortable he is playful, fun , and charming, Sensei loves stuffed toys!

Sensei isn’t looking for a home with other dogs, he prefers to be your one and only so he can enjoy the spotlight firmly on him!

ADOPTED!!!

Cary is a happy guy who would love a family that will include him in all their outdoor adventures. He is an energetic and agile 9 year old, 14-pound spaniel mix. Isn't he CUTE?!

Cary would be a great walking, running or hiking buddy. Just give him a signal and he is ready to go. Cary would probably love older, active children but, because he might knock over young children, his rescuers are asking for a home without children under 8 years of age

Cary has lived with other dogs and is living peacefully with another dog in his foster home. It is believed by his rescuers that he would benefit from a confident canine companion that could help him build his confidence.

Cary thinks that chasing squirrels is his calling, therefore, he should have a home without cats. A home with a securely fenced yard is a must for Cary. Apartment life is not for Cary because he barks to alert when he sees strangers and hears unfamiliar noises. Cary is learning proper potty manners and will need a family willing to continue with a predictable routine to ensure success.

Cary is posted for posted for Save-A-Mutt. He is being fostered in Snohomish County, WA. If you'd like to learn more about Cary, please email: [email protected] or check out their Petfinder link:

Old Dog Haven home FOUND!!!

Sweet Simba is still in need of an Old Dog Haven Forever Foster home!
(in W. Washington or Portland OR only)

Simba is a 16 pound neutered male shih tzu. At 16 pounds he is a little pudgy. Simba is a very old boy. He and his friends had a very long shelter stay but is now in a temporary Old Dog Haven home. He is pretty deaf and basically blind due to untreated dry eye (he is now on drops and ointment twice a day to improve his comfort). His ears and skin were neglected but have improved; he has a heart murmur (an echocardiogram has been done) and he still needs a dental. Despite his "handicaps" he likes to go for walks and sniff at length around the yard, enjoys his dog buddy and being close to his people. He's a quiet little fellow who was patient through a long time in the shelter and now is ready for a permanent Old Dog Haven forever foster home to care for and love him.

Old Dog Haven pays all vet expenses for our forever fosters (thanks to donations). If you would like to open your heart and home to a senior who needs you, please read through the link below and email us.

"Hi there! My name is Fred and I am looking for a new home. I am a 12 year old boy who weighs 40 pounds. I can't tell you what breed I am, maybe you have a good guess?

I have been through a lot since August of this year. My beloved human passed away and I needed a place to go. I lived WAY far away-in Maryland! Friends of my human thought they should fly me to Washington state to be adopted by someone here. Unfortunately, that hasn't worked out too well. Turns out I'm not a fan of other dogs, cats or young kids. So here I am, far from the home I once knew, in need of a new home where someone will commit to me for the rest of my life.

As you can imagine, that long flight and so much loss has been hard on me. I can be anxious so I need someone who will be understanding and patient with me. I'm a very loving boy and I enjoy spending time with adults. I am crate trained so when you leave, I will stay in my crate like a good boy. I just ask that you don't leave me in there for long hours-NO dog likes that! I can manage a few hours between potty breaks. I do bark so please keep that in mind. Right now I'm wearing this collar that buzzes when I bark. I am not a fan.

You may think "Oh he's OLD!" but I don't act it. I can play fetch like a youngster! Daily walks and time to exercise help not only my body but my mind too. The humans bought he a harness and guess what?! I'm not pulling when I have it on! It makes walks so much more fun for both of us! I have loads of energy and can be a social butterfly when you take me out.

I take a daily pill for my thyroid-something I hear many of us mature dogs need. Because I can get an upset tummy if I eat something wrong (or perhaps my nerves?), I get a special dog food from the vet.

A no-stress life is what I am ready for! Change can be difficult and I sure have tried to go with the flow but I'm just not the right fit for the family I'm with now. I appreciate that they have kept me until we can find a better place but I don't know how long they can do that for. I believe that in the right home, I can settle in and find love again. I hope that can happen soon."

ADOPTED!!!

Meet Oso! This sweet 12-year-old, 25-pound pug mix is looking for a peaceful home to enjoy his golden years.

Oso is neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and microchipped. He’s a laid-back senior who loves his walks, car rides, and lounging around with a good treat. Oso gets along well with other small dogs and cats, and he’s fully potty trained, though he may mark in new environments.

Oso can be a bit of a barker when left alone, at the doorbell, or during loud outside noises, so a quieter home would be ideal. He’s experienced some separation anxiety, as his previous owner passed away and he’s used to having another dog and someone at home.

Oso is treat-motivated, loves snuggles, and would thrive in a loving, stable environment where he can relax and enjoy his remaining years.

Oso is posted for the Alternative Humane Society of Bellingham, WA. Ready to meet this older gentleman? You can fill out an application for Oso at

As it starts to warm up and we venture outside a bit more, think about if you have some space in your home and yard for Mika. Mika is a special gal that has had quite a bit of change in her life recently, but she still has that pep in her step. She loves to spend her days going on long walks, and lounging outside, sticking by her friends, and always perks up for a treat. I'm sure Mika would make a great gardening buddy, and probably won't challenge your choice in music or podcasts when you're putzing around the house too!

Mika is available for adoption through our Home to Home program. To learn more about this gorgeous girl, you can contact her owner directly at https://home-home.org/pets/dc898d68-2c94-49b5-85bc-0ff77477f44a

ADOPTED!!!

Good Morning and Happy Saturday to you all!

We think it's really important to start the weekend shares off with a senior shelter dog. Warren is waiting at the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society for his adopter to come for him. Remember, he'd been adopted out once but it was discovered he had a big fear of stairs and there were way too many for him to climb so he was returned to the shelter.

Be sure to check out the video of Warren that shows his sweet nature:

https://www.ncwlife.com/news/paws-for-pets-warren-the-dog/article_c23322d4-de8e-11ef-b4ee-771ed2380d6e.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawIl3G1leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHQhQS2FUrKyow4yjhYf1Zyv0jkwqMtGaMsWoh4Hl9PjRg0X05Qw4mQyDQA_aem_szWNhylUcluj_p70UPWe_Q

Warren landed in the shelter as a stray. He is estimated to be about 8 years old. Warren is a big boy, weighing just under 100 pounds. He is altered, vaccinated and microchipped.

We are told that Warren came into the shelter with another large dog. The pair were housed together for a little while because of space issues. Warren has his own kennel now, and while he's shown interest in other dogs, staff has not been able to fully dog-test him. It was discovered that Warren is afraid ot taking stairs so a home without them is best.

Warren is described as "a sweet and affectionate dog who thrives on human companionship". Warren is well-behaved on a leash, making walks enjoyable for everyone. Warren’s love for people shines through in his gentle nature, and his affectionate personality makes him the perfect cuddle buddy. He’s sure to bring lots of love and joy to any home!

Warren is posted for the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society located in Wenatchee, WA. His shelter ID is: WVHS-A-29197

Let's start this Monday off with a reshare for Odie. He's a cross-post for our friends at Save-A-Mutt. Friends, your shares are so important! So many senior dogs have found adopters thanks to your help!

10-year-old Odie is a handsome man who dreams of being someone's treasured friend. He is a 59 pound shepherd mix who is energetic and would be a great walking, running or hiking buddy.

Odie loves to play and has made friends with other dogs along the way. He has lived with other dogs but the belief is that Odie would be his happiest in a home where he could be someone's one and only. He has shown to be a little jealous of other dogs in his foster home when it comes time to share their person.

Odie would love to be included in all the family adventures. Just say the word and this boy is ready to go. Odie would be happiest in a home where his people aren't gone for long hours.....he loves to be with his people. It is unknown if Odie has lived with cats, therefore, his rescuers are asking for a home without them.

Odie is posted for Save-A-Mutt. He is being fostered in Snohomish County, WA. If you'd like to learn more about Odie, please email: [email protected] or check out their Petfinder link: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/odie-74984833/wa/silvana/save-a-mutt-wa630/

Would you look at that face?! 🥰
Murphey is a cross-post for the nice people at the Kitsap Humane Society. Currently in a shelter foster home, his adoption would free up a spot in that home to take another dog who needs a shelter break! Let's help possibly 2 dogs with one share!

Murphey is a 9-year-old retriever mix who weighs 60 pounds. This fun-loving senior loves stuffy toys, playing fetch, a good game of tug, and hanging out with his favorite people.

Murphey is looking for a home where he will be your one and only furry friend as he is plenty for you to love! Murphey wants a child-free home. This dignified gentleman has been in a foster home and shown to have wonderful house manners. Once he settles into his new home, he is more than happy to snooze on the couch all day while you work. If you are looking for a loyal, lifetime friend, Murphey is ready for you!
