We’re currently swamped with several dogs, 10 new ones in just the last two weeks! We are a Seattle based rescue, with most of our dogs in Western Washington, and a couple in Oregon. Please consider putting in an application to adopt!

Rusty has been waiting for over a year for a new home. We’ve been informed that since he does not get along with one of the farm dogs, he spends most of his time locked up in a kennel, and the owner is close to taking him to the shelter. We’d like to find a new home for him asap!
Rusty is a 5-year-old neutered red male Doberman who’s a gentle giant at around 90 lbs—on the larger side for his breed. He’s great with children and adults alike, making him an excellent family companion. Rusty gets along well with submissive dogs, especially females, but isn’t suited for homes with cats, chickens, or smaller farm animals. He’s perfectly fine around horses, though.
Rusty would love a large yard or some acreage to stretch his legs. He’s your home’s loyal protector, always keeping watch over who’s coming and going. Despite his size, Rusty has a calm and laid-back demeanor, and he absolutely adores snuggling with his favorite person.
He’s house trained but has been kenneled outdoors for the past year, so he might need a refresher on indoor manners. Rusty knows basic commands, is current on all vaccinations, microchipped, and ready to settle into his forever home where his goofy, loving personality can truly shine!
