Allie put on her best holiday tutu to meet Santa! She was a little unsure at first but warmed up to the big guy and told him what she wanted for Christmas. Allie wants a lot of squeaky toys and a family to go with them.

Thank you to our friends at Smarty Pants Garage for hosting this fundraiser and helping us get our pups into loving homes.

Update - Milano got adopted.

Milano is one of the last of the "cookie pups" from the hoarding case this summer. He is giving his foster a break for a few days so he has been back at the shelter. He is keeping his new friend company while the friend recovers from his injuries.

Milano loves to be around other dogs. He would do well in a home with a dog friend. If you would like to meet Milano, please contact the shelter for a meet and greet.

Ranger got to meet Santa on Saturday and told him everything that was on his Christmas list. #1 on the list is a home!

Ranger has been at the shelter for a year. Staff and volunteers can attest to Ranger's goodness! So he definitely deserves to get his Christmas wish!

Ranger was such a good boy for Santa! Thank you to our friends at Smarty Pants Garage for hosting this fundraiser for us.

Please note, a portion of Ranger's adoption fee has been paid for by one of his many fans! Let's get this pup a home!

Hello Burien - Meet Brindle. Now, before you come at us about his name, that is what the previous shelter named him, not us.

In fact, let's find a new name for this gorgeous guy. Comment below with suggestions for a new name! We will let you know his new name later this week.

Brindle is such an amazingly easy dog on leash. He is a snuggler on his walks and his fur is super soft. He is not reactive to any dogs that he meets. He loves to people watch when he is out and about.

Brindle's adoption fee includes vaccinations, flea treatment, deworming, microchip and neuter surgery. If you would like to meet this pup, please contact the shelter and set up a meet and greet. Email [email protected] or call 206-812-2737

Hey - It's Arnold! Arnold is the new guy at the shelter. And let me tell you, he is AMAZING! Arnold is so sweet and gentle on leash as well. He came in as a stray and still has a few cuts and owies but he is ready to move out of the shelter and into your arms. Arnold is a beautiful pit/lab mix with the most adorable curly tail.

Arnold's adoption fee includes vaccinations, flea treatment, deworming, microchip and neuter surgery. If you would like to meet this beautiful boy please contact the shelter to set up a meet and greet. Email [email protected] or call 206-812-2737.

Our big guy Lukaku is the gentlest Belgian Malinois ever! He was the best boy visiting Santa. He made sure to tell Santa that he was a good boy, definitely on the nice list!

Lukaku is definitely wishing for a home for Christmas! Can you help a pup out? He would look so cute under the tree with a bow! And he wants to give you a kiss under the mistletoe.

If you want to meet this great guy contact CARES and set up a meet and greet. He is ready to go home with you!

Starla is the STAR of the show these days! She is a sweet Papillon/Pomeranian/Chihuahua mixed bag of cuteness. She loves her walks and does really well on leash. Starla came to the shelter in pretty rough shape, she had lost a lot of her fur on her hind end. But with treatment it is growing back in really nicely.

Starla's adoption fee includes vaccinations, flea treatment, deworming, microchip and spay surgery. Starla would love to be the star in your home! Please contact the shelter for a meet and greet! Email [email protected] or call 206-812-2737.
