*Blaze still needs help. We are looking for a Foster or Adopter ASAP*
Blaze – intact male 5 years old (b. February 2018); has been living in an outdoor kennel run/dog area for the past couple of years. He is house trained, but may need a refresher on his indoor skills. We met him in person recently and he was a total love bug. His owner said that he's friendly but takes a little time to warm up to new people – not uncommon for Rottweilers, although we didn't experience any hesitation.
Blaze (darker face and markings) is a big ol' teddy bear - look at that waggy nub go! In a couple of meet & greets with potential adopters, Blaze showed some reactivity/aggression towards their dogs. This is likely due to his recent isolation/lack of socialization, as in the past he's been good with other dogs. We feel that with neutering, and slow introduction with the ability to keep the dogs separated at first, he would do well with a female dog of a similar age and size.
He knows some basics (sit, down) but we're told he pulls hard when on leash. He’s been around children and has been fine, but hasn’t lived in a home with them. He’s described as “gentle and lovable” by his owner, but due to his size (110 lb) and inexperience, we recommend no kids under age 12.

COURTESY POST*** Not an SPDR dog.
This pint sized little cutie looks like he has a drop of something else in the ol' DNA, but he sounds like a diamond in the ruff - needs training and obviously responds well to it - look at this cutie pie go! (sound on for the full experience)
Thank you, Linda, for your love and dedication to these guys! ❤ Spokane Humane is lucky to have you on their team!

You saw photos of this happy lil' nugget a couple of weeks ago with a “coming soon!” post. From that post, Ralo went right into a home, but sadly, they’ve realized they don’t have the time for a new, young rescue dog and have decided to return him to rescue.
Ralo will be 1 year old on January 6. He’s a friendly, athletic boy of approximately 75 pounds with lots of energy, and is ready for a home that has the time to spend with him. He knows a little of the basics (sit and a version of wait), but could use some full-on obedience training – he’s missed out on a lot!
His leash walking needs work – he doesn’t know that pulling his human isn’t the way you’re supposed to do it. (And though he may be a little undersized right now (and could stand to gain a little weight) he’s very strong.) He’s very responsive and eager to please – like most, he wants to connect with his people, and he’s food motivated, so training will be fun with him. Ralo isn’t yet neutered but we’re hoping to get an appointment for him for this month. In the meantime he needs a home of his own to get started on training and bonding.
Ralo loves his toys – a ball or a tug toy is the best! With his athleticism, he’d be a great dog for agility, dock diving, or barn hunt. Or an excellent trail buddy for hiking. He’s good with other dogs, and eager to play. He hasn’t gotten out much, but is happy to meet new people too. He rides well in the car, and is house trained and crate trained. He’s an affectionate boy who just needs someone to spend some time with him for him to be the Best. Dog. Ever.

Blitzen is a 3 yo male (not neutered yet) who's not too huge - only about 90 pounds - and he's looking for a new place to hang his bandana. He's an affectionate, sweet boy, and is playful and athletic.
He gets along with most other dogs (pushy, "alpha" males are a no) and has lived peaceably with an older female dog. While he's lived with a cat, his owner says he'll chase cats and that he'd be better in a home without cats to tempt him. He has a human sister (age 7) and has been a good boy with her - he would be fine in a home with respectful children over the age of 8. He would do well with a calm female dog in the home of a similar age and activity level.
Blitzen sometimes gets a little possessive over his toys (growly), and has to be convinced to give them up (trade). He's not aggressive about it, but just wants to keep what he feels is his. He is crate trained and knows basic obedience, walks well on leash (not a puller), and loves to cuddle with his humans. He's a good boy in search of a good home that's worthy of the love he has to give, where he can be part of the family and be their Best Boy.

***911*** Can anyone help us help this boy?
You may have seen this cute ol' fella on a courtesy post. He's coming to SPDR now. Biggie is a reserved gentleman who arrived as a stray (so no history on him) and is estimated to be about 9 years old. Recent labwork done at the shelter showed mild anemia and low thyroid. He will need to be kept on thyroid medication for the rest of his life (easy peasy and not super expensive), with routine testing annually to be sure the dose is correct.
In our meeting today Biggie was a good boy. He walked on leash nicely, and warmed up enough to take treats, but mostly just kept to himself. He's shown zero aggression or reactivity, and just seems to be a quiet fellow, maybe a little shy or introverted, who will blossom as he gets to know and trust you. He needs a place with a warm bed and regular meals, a little TLC and he's going to be some lucky adopter's best buddy. Winning over this sweet dog's heart and love will be a prize beyond measure.
