Dog Gone Seattle

A 501c3 dog rescue dedicated to saving dogs at risk for euthanasia through foster care and adoption. In 2017 DGS was awarded 501c3 non-profit status.

Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 Dog Rescue dedicated to saving dogs at risk for euthanasia. Dog Gone Seattle founded by Jenny DB Nordin began as a resource for dog owners providing information on dog-friendly establishments and activities in the greater Seattle area. Over time there was less time for exploring dog-friendly Seattle and more time spent "saving dogs" and in 2016, Dog Gone Seattle - the n

on-profit organization was born! DGS is committed to saving dogs from high kill shelters in WA and beyond through rescue, foster and adoption. Since 2017 we have saved over 5,000 dogs from imminent euthanasia. We have a community of hundreds of fosters and volunteers in the greater Seattle area who make this life-saving work possible. Follow us and get involved as we save one dog at a time!

Meet lovely Lucy! Lucy is a sweet 1-2 year old, 55lb, laid-back gal who loves lounging on the couch and soaking up affection. While she’s still working on her leash manners, she’s food motivated and making great progress! Lucy enjoys chasing balls and playing with chew toys, and she’s crate trained and has good house manners. She’s friendly with the dogs she’s met and would thrive with a confident dog to show her the ropes. If you’re looking for a new companion to bond with this year, Lucy is your girl! Comment 💎 below and we’ll send you more info, and please share to help her find her forever home!

Sweet Sahara is a 3 year old, 45lb friendly pitty. She joined us from a waste treatment facility in San Joaquin with her 4 babies back in June. Her babies have long since been adopted, but she’s been patiently waiting for her family to find her. Sahara is pretty go with the flow; up for hanging out at home all day or down for long walk or hike if you are. She’s house and crate trained, and walks well on leash. She’s got good basic obedience and gets along with her fosters resident dog. Please share to help her find her family!

AT RISK! SHARES NEEDED!

Meet Buttercup! Buttercup is a 3-year-old, 55 lb spayed female Mal/Shepherd mix who joined us from Texas on 7/15/22 as an unsure adolescent. Her foster mom has worked diligently with her, putting in countless hours training to improve her confidence so she can be successful in her forever home. She’s also done training with

We have been trying to find this girl a home all this time. Buttercups foster has had her for nearly 2 years, but her time there has run out. She needs a new foster or an adopter or she is a candidate for euthanasia. Buttercup does have a bite history, and she needs structure, boundaries and a balanced leader to follow. All this means she’s trying to find her unicorn in a month of Sunday’s. This is our final Hail Mary.

Buttercup is an energetic girl that will do anything for a treat and very much wants to please her humans. She’s affectionate and playful with those in her circle. She is built a lot of confidence since arrival; however, her anxious energy translates to reactivity at times. Off-leash she greets humans with excitement or indifference both in the house and the yard. She lives with three large breed male dogs in foster care; it was a smooth integration after a period of decompression. Honestly, she’d be just fine as an only dog too.

Buttercup can play all day and has benefited from dog companions who can gently correct and/or join in her exuberance, as well as lead her in confident appropriate behaviors. She is house trained, crate trained and often goes into her crate on her own to relax.

She has significant prey drive outside the home (rodents beware!) but with a dog savvy cat and a family willing to properly integrate her, her foster mom thinks she could live successfully indoors with a feline companion.

Please share to help us find Buttercup a foster or adopter ASAP!

More info on Buttercup at the link in our bio.

Check her out in our highlights.

‘Rose and Sadie, the absolute best bonded pair of Doberladies, are still looking for their furever home. They really are the absolute best girls that are exceptionally brilliant and well trained. True to Doberman form, they are the ultimate Velcro dogs that affix themselves to their humans. They love walks. My hope for the new year is that they get that chance to be loved and go home. Believe me, had we not 7 of our own, I would keep them but as the cycle of fostering goes, we can’t do more until we have space again. ❤️🐾🌲’ - foster dad extraordinaire Scott P.

Meet sweet Starling! She and her littermates just joined us from Texas. They found themselves in need of rescue after their mom was posioned when they were 2 weeks old 🤬 Our rescue partners took them in and bottle raised them, and needless to say these pups are just the most loving little things! For more info on Starling or her siblings, comment 🌟 and we’ll send you more info!

Say hello to Harvey, a 1.5-year-old pitty/pointer with a winning grin and a sweet personality. Harvey can be a little shy meeting new friends outside the home, but it doesn’t take him long to warm up and ask for pets and play. Harvey is a fast learner and eager to please! He plays well with other dogs but does have a little of that pitty pushiness so proper intros are always best. Harvey is house and crate trained, working on ‘place’ command, and walks (and hikes!) well on a training collar. For more info on Harvey, comment ⛄️ and we’ll PM you!

Meet Raphael, aka Raphi. Raphi is about a year and a half old, and weighs 65lbs. We pulled him from a high-kill shelter in CA where he was kenneled with 6 other dogs, and at risk for euthanasia. Raphi is a sweet and cuddly guy with a big heart and an eager-to-please attitude. This star student quickly mastered basic commands like sit, stay, and come. Crate and potty trained, Raphi is ready to be the perfect addition to an active PNW family. He loves people and will happily curl up in your lap if you let him. This big sweetie is great with other dogs, and while he’s not currently living with children he’s been friendly with every one he meets. Raphi will be a loyal and loving addition to one lucky family!

🚨DARLA IS STILL LOST🚨

We suspect she’s in the area between East Union to Madison and MLK to 32nd. No longer wearing a harness/leash.

If you live in the Madrona neighborhood and have security cameras, we would so appreciate if you could check any footage from the last 72 hours.

We are desperate for a sighting. She’s timid and street savvy, so she will likely be moving around in the late evening to early morning before cars are on the road.

Please share to help us bring her home!

Just another Sunday like every Sunday since 2016, we save dogs from overcrowded shelters in California. These 6 souls are safe in foster care, and we continue our mission, which too often feels like trying to empty the ocean with a spoon. #rescuerespectrepeat #fosteringsaveslives #doggoneseattle
