🌟 Meet Saphire – Your Next Adventure Buddy! 🌟

This sweet girl is Saphire, a 4-year-old, 35-pound Beagle mix who’s ready to find her forever family! 🐾

💔 Saphire’s story: She was abandoned when her owners moved out of state, but thankfully a kind neighbor stepped up to care for her. Now she’s safe in that home, but she’s dreaming of a place to call her own.

💖 The details:
• Dog-friendly? Absolutely! Saphire loves other dogs and is currently living with a 65-pound and a 20-pound dog.
• Cat-friendly? Yes! She ignores her foster home’s cat and even stayed calm around cats at the vet’s office.
• Kid-approved? You bet! She gets along wonderfully with the 8-year-old in her foster family.
• Food habits? Saphire can be protective of her food, so she’ll need a family who can manage this with care.

🌟 Fun facts about Saphire:
• She’s an escape artist, so a secure fence is a must.
• She loves walks and would be an amazing running or hiking buddy for an active person.
• Despite her tough start, Saphire’s heart is full of love and joy to share with her new family.

Are you ready to give this adventurous, loving pup the happy ending she deserves? 🏡

🐕 Let’s make Saphire’s dreams come true! 🐾

Adoption Pending!

🌼 Meet Solterra, our sweet little rescue puppy! 🐶💕

At just 6 months old and 15 lbs, Solterra is still finding her way in the world after being relinquished by a breeder. She's microchipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations.

Solterra is a bit shy and nervous around new people, so she needs a loving home that can provide her with the patience and supervision she deserves. When outside, she should be secured in a harness or in a fenced yard, as she is a flight risk.

This little lady thrives in the company of other dogs, so having a canine companion will help her learn and feel more at ease. Another friendly, confident dog in her new home is a must. While she’s comfortable with men, she tends to gravitate towards women and kids over 10 years old. An active household with a fenced-in yard would be perfect for her to play and explore!

Solterra sleeps in her kennel at night but will need to be let out to potty when she starts whining. She loves food and would benefit from training or activities that involve treats. Just a heads up, she will will destroy and eat parts of fabric toys, so recommend avoiding those!

In summary, Solterra is looking for a loving, patient home where she can thrive. If you have an active lifestyle and a dog friend to help guide her, she could be the perfect addition to your family! 🏡💖

🌟 Meet Forester, our spirited rescue puppy! 🐾

Forester is a 6-month-old Beagle, rescued from a puppy mill breeder. He has an energetic and playful personality that will steal your heart! ❤️ His curiosity knows no bounds, and he loves to explore his surroundings—especially if there are playful cats around! 😄

This little go-getter is full of life, with a tail that wags non-stop and a bark that reflects his excitement. Forester is highly social and adores other dogs, making him perfect for a home with a confident canine companion to guide him. Another dog in his new home is a must! He’s treat-motivated, and you can win him over with his favorite freeze-dried liver treats! 🥓

While he’s still a little nervous when approached, he’s learning quickly and will sit calmly for a treat. He’s working on his potty training and is up-to-date on vaccinations and microchipped. Forester sleeps soundly in his crate at night and is making great progress!

Forester tends to prefer women and kids over 8 years old, and he would thrive in an active home where he can play and feel secure.

If you're ready to welcome a loving, treat-loving, and energetic puppy into your family, Forester is waiting for you! 🏠💖

💛 Meet Lexington : A Sweet Senior Beagle Looking for His Forever Home! 💛

If you’re looking for a cuddly companion with a heart full of love, Lexington might be the one for you! This ten year old senior beagle has so much personality and joy to share:

🐾 Cuddle Champion: Loves to snuggle on the couch and sleep under the covers—he’s happiest when close to his people.
🐾 Playful Soul: Enjoys squeaky toys (sometimes too much!) and is happy playing with other dogs or entertaining himself.
🐾 Gentle and Polite: House-trained, will sit for treats, and is respectful when you handle his toys or food.
🐾 Quirky and Loyal: Will bark to let you know he misses you if you leave, but he settles down quickly.
🐾 Best as an Only Dog: Though he enjoys playing with other pups, he loves having all the cuddles to himself. He may not want to share the couch or bed with other pets.

Lexington thrives in a home where he’s allowed to be part of the family—couch cuddles and bedtime snuggles are non-negotiable for this lovebug! He’s adaptable, sweet, and full of life, with just a single fatty tumor that doesn’t slow him down one bit. Lexington weighs about 27 pounds.

Update: Adopted!

Bingo is wishing so hard that this new year will bring her a forever home. You could not hope for a sweeter girl or a better companion.

Bingo traveled all the way from Missouri to find a new home, after being surrendered to a Missouri shelter, because she escaped too often.
Bingo is happy and energetic. She loves all people, and will give hugs and kisses. She also loves other dogs. Bingo does have a high prey drive so no cats please.

Bingo’s foster mom tells us that she has never worked with a dog like Bingo. Bingo is loving, affectionate and attuned to the moods and needs of her people.

At two years old, Bingo still has abundant energy. She loves her outside time but needs a securely fenced yard. An active person or family that would include Bingo in adventures like on leash hikes or jogging would be ideal.

Bingo is good in the car and has been fine when left home with two beagle foster siblings.

Bingo weighs about 30 pounds and is house trained. Is she the friend you need to complete your home?

Sweet Bunny will be arriving with Operation Frodo. She has been used for breeding and not treated well. She cowers from hands coming quickly toward her, but she is sweet and loving, and will be grateful for a home where she is part of your family.
Bunny will need some time in her foster home. She will need to be spayed, and have repairs for cherry eye and a hernia. When Bunny is healthy and starting to feel safe, she will be available for adoption.

Update: Closing applications for puppies to process the ones received.

Guess who is coming to Seattle! Eight 5 and 6 month old beagle puppies. These puppies were sent to rescue from a breeder that considered them excess inventory. There are tri’s, lemons, and even a red beagle. More pictures will be posted here and on our website as photos are received..

Pre adoption meet and greets will happen after the holidays, but if you have been hoping for a puppy, go ahead and submit your application. If two people have interest in the same puppy, and all other factors are equal, the first application will get priority .
General guidelines for puppy homes are someone home most of the time, a fenced yard, and a dog friend. However if you think you can provide everything a puppy needs and are missing one of these, submit an application and talk with us.

Billy update:

Billy is still looking for a home. We know the right person is out there for Billy so please keep sharing.
One of our volunteers has been visiting Billy in boarding and has fallen in love with him. Sadly, she is at the limit on dogs in her home. Everyone at the facility thinks Billy is a great dog.
Billy loves the volunteer’s visits. He enjoys his walks and playing with toys. He’s happy to chase a ball, but don’t expect to get it back.
If you would like to meet Billy and see for yourself, please complete an application.

🐾 Meet Billy – A Dog Who Deserves a Second Chance 🐾

Billy is a smart, active, and eager-to-please boy who’s looking for the right forever home. He’s had quite a journey:

💛 The Backstory:

Billy was in a Missouri foster home with no issues but had a biting incident with his SBR foster mom.
A vet exam revealed inflamed and painful a**l glands, which the vet and trainer believe caused his reaction.
His a**l glands have since healed, and Billy has completed a professional training program where he learned many commands and "words."
🏠 What Billy Needs:

A child-free home with an active owner who can continue his training.
While he’s best as the only dog, Billy may do well with dogs his size or smaller if his owner is experienced and introductions are done properly.
Billy isn’t comfortable with larger dogs.
Billy loves to work and would likely excel in competitive sports or other activities where he can use his energy and intelligence.
🎓 We’re Here to Help:
To help Billy transition, we’re offering a one-hour session with his trainer so his new owner can learn all his commands and set him up for success.

Billy is currently in boarding, but it’s not where he belongs. He needs a forever home where he can thrive and show his true potential.

Can you or someone you know give Billy the chance he deserves? Please share to help this incredible dog find his match.

🐶 Apply today and let Billy be the loyal, loving companion he’s meant to be!

Update: Paddy is Adopted!

Paddy is still looking for his home. This handsome 30 pound, three year old beagle is a breeder release dog. Before coming to foster, he had never lived inside, slept in a soft bed, walked on a leash, or played with toys.
Paddy is soaking up new experiences and learning so much. He loves his twice daily walks, and is a true nose to the ground hunter.
Paddy loves his toys. His special favorite is a crinkly alligator.
He has learned “sit”, and responds to his name. That’s an accomplishment for a boy that lived his first three years without a name.
Paddy needs a securely fenced yard, because if he finds an escape route, he is going to follow his nose. He will also need a dog friend. As with many breeder release dogs, he has only lived with a pack and needs the security of another dog. He hasn’t lived with cats but based on his nose to the ground instinct, we suggest no cats in Paddy’s new home.
Paddy would love to be home for Christmas. Do you have room for Paddy in your home and heart?

Update: Lexington is adopted!

Lexington is one lucky guy!! If not for a call from one of our volunteers to Lexington’s owner, he was scheduled for euthanasia this week.

Lexington has been listed with us for a while, but he’s 10 and his owner said he has frequent inside potty accidents , in the owner’s opinion because he’s mad about not enough attention, and that Lexington has separation anxiety, so Lexington hasn’t attracted any applicants willing to work with him,
Last week an application came in for Lexington, so an adoption volunteer called the owner to discuss. The owner said they were tired of cleaning the carpet and had Lexington scheduled for euthanasia.
When we heard that, we put out a plea for foster and in a short time, a volunteer said “ I can’t let this senior die for having accidents in the house.”
The foster brought Lexington to her home that afternoon.
Now here’s the interesting part. Lexington has had zero potty accidents in the foster’s house. He displays no separation anxiety, he gets along with the other dogs, he likes toys , and every single person that meets Lexington is in love!
We don’t understand how anyone would choose to end this sweet boy’s life.

Here is what Lexington’s foster mom says:

If it weren’t for all his grey, you’d never be able to guess Lexington’s age. This smaller-than-normal beagle is such a happy guy. He walks around wagging his tail, and has even greeted us with excited zoomies when we arrived home. He loves to squeak toys and will self play, tossing them around. Is always happy to go for a walk (although he slows down pretty quickly), and really loves to snuggle and be loved on. And he seems to love everyone.

He has barked to be let out to potty and seems to be housebroken, although being a senior he just may want to go out more frequently than a younger dog — although he’s fine overnight and has been ok for 5-6 hour stretches during the day (haven’t tried longer yet).

He does bark. His vision may be a little impaired because he does bark at shadows/things that aren’t there and at noises outside. And he does bark for a bit when someone leaves the house, or if you move rooms and he doesn’t know where you are. So an apartment may not be the best choice.

He does fine with the dogs in our house. Mostly just exists near them.

He is a really, really sweet dog. He would just love a family who wants a companion to give him love and attention for the rest of his years.
