This precious boy needs a foster home ASAP, or even better, his forever home!!

Jax is about two years old and life has been a little rough for him so far. His owner died unexpectedly at home, while Jax was there. After that, he had landed in a not-so-great situation where he was not really wanted. Finally, a kind lady has watched out for him, but no longer able to care for him due to her health issues.

He needs some love, stability, and consistency. Because even after all he has been through, Jax has faith in humans. He wants to bond; he wants someone to understand he just needs a little time to feel secure--and then you will have a buddy for life. He's a sweet boy!

Jax does need a good fenced yard. We know that Jax lived with a female dog, a cat, and a child previously. We know he got along with them all, but no specific details. He has had some anxiety about riding in a car, but he is doing much better with that now! He has been doing well with crate training. We have gotten Jax neutered and vaccinated.

Jax is a Border Collie / Australian Shepherd mix and weighs 36 pounds.

Great program. Let's get the word out and help get some training for those pups out there in need.

Two week board and train special, now scheduling for September and October. Space is limited, so sign up now to get your dog or puppy started with the basics! Ask me for more information!

*Board and train does not include potty training. This is a skill that must be worked on at home.
*This is just a starter program. It takes 21 days to build a habit, so success requires work once your pup comes home.
*The first couple of days of any board and train program require time for the pup to settle in and adjust.

Here is our beautiful mama cat, Padme and her babies! We have so many of you to thank for your support!! We took her in while she was in labor and struggling to give birth—an emergency C-section was required to save her life as well as the lives of two surviving kittens. It was a pretty big bill and so many of you supported us and donated to help cover that! Their foster family has done a phenomenal job with them!! With all of that happening over the week of May 4, they named this little family accordingly❤️Padme, with her babies Luke & Leia

We are looking to adopt Luke and Leia out together as a pair. They are in the process of getting all of their vaccinations and will soon be spayed and neutered.

Thank you to their foster mom for putting together this adorable video of their story!

If you are interested in adopting, please submit an application here:

Meet Wade a male Bombay Mix.
Wade is still waiting for his forever home.
Can you help spread the word about his beautiful boy!

Wade is a beautiful four-year-old boy in need of a forever home. He has lots of playful energy and would prefer a home where someone is around often rather than being left alone for long hours every day. He loves interacting with people; loves to be brushed, loves to climb his cat trees, and watch the birds outside. He is a cat who knows what he likes—so that includes his running water fountain. Dogs, not so much!

Wade has done well with a female cat with a submissive personality; but his record with male cats is not so great......

He is likely to be a bit shy at first, but he does settle in and lets that big personality come out! He enjoys running through the house at full speed in the morning and evening. He can tell time, as he is waiting by the door every day when his foster mom gets home from work.

Wade LOVES his catio! We would love to find a home where he can have one. Sometimes, he just sits or naps out there, enjoying the air, sunshine, or watching the birds.

Puppies **AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION**

Waffle, Maple, and Teddy Graham were born March 5, 2024.

All three are very social and they love everyone! They have all been around other dogs and they were also around kitties for awhile in their first foster home when all three were together. They would each really love to live with another doggy friend.

Waffle is very independent with lots of energy and he loves to play, play, play! He’s always been the “ring leader” of the crew :) His foster mom has said he’s super funny and kind of full of himself 😂Never a dull moment with Waffle.

Teddy Graham is so, so sweet! He has always been a bit timid but has recently become more confident. If he’s not playing with another dog, he loves to be cuddling with a person. He’s always enjoyed being held and snuggled. You can’t help but fall in love with this little guy.

Maple is a super happy and sweet girl who also loves to play. Her constant happy wiggle-butt shows her joyful personality. She is also a cuddle-bug. She enjoys hanging out with other dogs of all sizes!

We’ve had one Wisdom Panel done on Waffle (attached). Their mom, Rosie, was also adopted out recently and we’ve included a picture of her.

AS IF......we don't have ENOUGH to contend with....we now have to somehow figure out how to get these homeless pets SEEN without FACEBOOK removing the posts that you wonderful people are sharing for us! It's been happening way too much! Our posts are REAL, and they are REAL animals that are in need of homes! Thank you for doing screenshots, submitting the removals for review, and everything else you are doing to help the animals! We have over 11,000 followers on our page, and only a small fraction SEE our posts, because Facebook controls that, too! We rely heavily on social media to find homes! Attached are some of the messages given when people have tried to share our postings of animals in need...and we EVEN had AI giving a summary on some of them--acknowledging "initial sharing issues"

ADOPT ANGUS & ARLO!!!!!!!!

We CANNOT believe that this most adorable and fabulous duo has not been adopted yet!! They were dumped in Eastern WA and thanks to some super humans, they have been safe, fed, neutered, and loved!

But they need to get into their own home (or homes) by the end of this month--or at the very least, a foster home over here on the west side ASAP.

Cat Rescue Squad is responsible for saving them, and we are working with them to find placement. Wisdom Panel DNA testing on both dogs just came back, too, so we now know more about them! And interestingly enough, it was learned through the testing that Angus has two brothers over here in Western WA!

It would be wonderful to keep them together, as Arlo is very bonded to Angus and they get along so well--however, they could also be separated if Arlo was to have another confident, friendly dog in the home!

Please contact Cat Rescue Squad or submit an application here if you can foster or adopt these cuties!

Murdock is in need of a home ASAP. He is a sweet boy who LOVES people...he never meets a stranger!

Murdock was born blind, but is a very healthy boy. He needs a home without other dogs as he feels threatened by them. Murdock does not let his lack of sight keep him from enjoying life! He is very young, close to two years old now.

He would love a nice yard with a good fence--and will also love to be your hiking buddy, couch buddy, and best friend.

Please submit an application here to foster or adopt Murdock:

PLEASE SHARE!!! The Muttropolitan staff has been unbelievably gracious with their support!!! Without them, we wouldn’t have been able to save 12 lives! When we first found out about these dogs trying to survive on their own in Eastern WA, there were five—we offered to take one, hoping other rescues may step in and take one of the others..but no-one did, so we agreed to all five—and then Zoe surprised us by having 7 more puppies!

07/10/2024

How do we get him seen??!! This has now become urgent.

Beautiful and sweet Casanova has not had one bit of interest in fostering or adopting. We are down to the wire for time--he has no where to go. PLEASE consider fostering! He's such a good boy!!

This beautiful boy, Hunter, is still waiting for his forever home! Hunter likes to be with people and loves attention. He also loves to play. Though he is currently an only pet in his foster home, he did live with other kitties and dogs previously. Everyone agrees that Hunter would probably love to have a furry friend that likes to play or hang out with him. He’s estimated to be about three years old.

Meet Oliver!

He is in need of a special foster home that will help him to continue adjusting to life in a home and with humans. Oliver is about 5 months old and is one of the puppies we rescued from Yakima County who had been born outside and knew only the hard life of trying to survive. He has had a harder time adjusting than his two siblings, and he has reached a point where he would benefit from more one-on-one attention. Oliver likes other dogs and would also benefit from having a confident/friendly dog in the home with him.

Please submit an application here if you can help Oliver:

UPDATE: since we originally posted this handsome guy, Casanova has had the opportunity to be introduced to two new dogs, and did really well! PLEASE share, consider fostering him, or adopting this good boy♥️
***************************
Another dumped dog. Please help us to help this innocent boy!

In a popular dumping area for unwanted pets in Eastern WA, he found his way to nearby orchards where he was seen on and off for a week--workers in the fields were told not to feed or intervene because of "liabilites." He was underweight, tired, and had something wrong with his paw.

No one said yes to taking or helping him. We're stretched to our max. But how do you say no and leave him there?

He's been brought to safety by a kind person and is now named Casanova. After not being able to find a rescue or anyone to take him, we have had him seen by a vet over there--we had him neutered and while he was under anesthesia, they also removed cheatgrass from his paw (which had caused a painful abscess) and also from his ear. He's also being treated for parasites.

He's believed to be between 3 - 5 years old. So far, this is what we have learned about him: he is quiet for a husky, he is good inside the house, he likes to ride in the car, he has been indifferent about meeting other dogs through fences and at the vet office, he seemed indifferent to a cat, and now that he has had a safe place to land with regular meals, he does not even try to escape and run away! (the first day he did escape, but did not leave). He is also incredibly sweet and really loves people.

He is a gem, and we desperately want to get him over here to the Western side of the state. The people holding him also cannot keep him much longer, and though we've managed to pay for his medical needs, we do not know where to put him.

PLEASE CONSIDER FOSTERING HIM, OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADOPT CASANOVA, complete our application here:

Angus & Arlo....sooooo adorable!

These two boys were living on their own in Eastern WA for about three weeks after being dumped in a remote area. Kind Samaritans brought food to them until a plan could be put into place.
They are both neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas. Angus (red) has some wounds on his neck and nose that are healing well. They are both incredibly sweet natured.

They are now ready to be adopted and will make great family members. They would be great adopted together, as Arlo is very fond of his big buddy Angus. At the very least, Arlo would benefit by having another dog in his home.

They both like to play fetch. Angus does well on the leash, even if he sees another dog. Arlo still has a way to go with some leash work, he’s just not really sure what all the hype is about. They can be a bit shy of men, but once they realize they are safe, all is okay.

We do not know how they are with kids. They haven’t really interacted with cats, but have seen them. Angus gets very excited when he sees them, while Arlo seems indifferent. Neither boy is much of a barker. Angus will sit when he hears you say “good boy.” Angus was also giving handshakes to his feeders when they would bring food to them. Arlo had lots of kisses to give. They enjoy wrestling together.

SEE videos and more photos in comments

They are medium sized dogs—Angus weighs 35 pounds and Arlo is 25 pounds. It’s estimated that both boys are around a year old.
Please message us or Cat Rescue Squad if you are interested in adopting--or if you live in Western WA and would be willing to foster them, please let us know!

VERY SPECIAL DOG FOSTERS NEEDED! For some very special dogs!!

**Dogs of Yakima County** We thought we could help one dog....and we ended up with 12 !!!!

Several months ago, we posted about a family of dogs living on their own in Eastern WA; mom and her three surviving puppies. Sadly, two puppies had already died. We could not get the image of this mom and her babies out of our heads; kind people were feeding them; mom did not appear to be feral, but was also wary of people. The puppies had likely been born outside and never knew the comforts of a home or the consistent touch of humans.

We attempted to find help for them—like other rescue organizations and shelters, we were full. We thought if we took one of the dogs and found others to take just one dog, then there would not be the hardship on anyone of taking them all. We knew time was of the essence for those puppies—and before mom was pregnant again.

We could not find additional help, so we went for it—and we have an amazing person to thank for that—she offered to let them stay temporarily at her boarding/doggy day care facility. She and her staff have been so dedicated and emotionally invested. We got the puppies over here first. Mom was safely trapped weeks later—and by this time, there was another dog hanging with her, who seemed to be an older “puppy” and was trapped and brought over with her! (Thankful for the kind people over in Easter WA!)

LOTS has been happening with this group…the three original puppies and the older puppy have been adjusting to a new life being indoors with people on a constant basis. Momma dog escaped one week after she got here—and with the help of D.D. Ponder, was brought back to safety after ten days of covering 20 miles or more, causing us many sleepless nights with sightings of her running along a high-speed rural highway.

Mom, who we have named Zoi, was trapped again just in time, as she gave birth to seven more puppies. Mom is doing well, and letting humans help her. We believe that she was likely someone’s pet at one time—she even appears to be potty trained. Though she’s been nervous and scared, she has not once growled or shown any sort of aggression towards anyone. She is progressing daily and described as very sweet.

We are asking for your help! The older puppies who came over first (Oliver, Piper, Willow, and Yogi) are in need of foster homes. They need more than what they are able to give them now at the facility. They need more one-on-one time and attention. Willow is VERY sweet and friendly; she was the first to have adjusted. Piper is making good progress, but is still somewhat scared, especially of contact. Oliver, the little boy, is having the hardest time—he often shuts down; wants to hide and make himself small. Yogi, who is the older puppy that later appeared, is doing very well—he’s also a bit scared and shy, but also has let people bathe him, has been taken out on a leash for the first time (crawling along), and is able to relax. All of them have joined in on play time with other dogs, so we also believe that a home with another friendly, confident dog would be beneficial. We estimate the three younger puppies to be around five months old; Yogi may be 10 months old, if we had to guess.

If you can help, please do. They have been in GREAT hands but now need the "next level" and we know they will continue to blossom! Love and patience is what they need.

We will have support and help available to you while helping these dogs become more confident and comfortable.
