Maddie
Spokane, WA

|
|
Maddie is a 3 year old Border Collie / Terrier mix looking for a confident, dog savvy human companion to be her best friend. Adi loves to cuddle, give kisses and hang out with you. She is a good medium energy girl who is playful, fun, likes to run around the yard and even play with water from the hose (in the summer). She loves walks and being with her person/people.
She would love to be outside with you while you garden or tinker around, taking in nature, digging an occasional hole or just breathing in some fresh air. She will listen to you talk to her all day long telling her what a good girl she is and then reward you with lots of kisses. Maddie is house trained and crate trained. She is food motivated so it is easy to teach her new things. She knows basic commands. She is a smart girl who is a bit hesitant in new situations until she gets comfortable, so a confident human will help make her feel safe. |

- Maddie sleeps thru the night in her own bed, but also would love to sleep with her person.
- Not a big barker, but will alert you to strangers and unusual noises. She is not destructive inside. -is happy with some toys and bones to chew.
- Maddie is dog selective, so a home without another dog to have to share the attention is best.
- No cats for this girl please.
- She does well with children.
Who wouldn't love to come home to a pretty girl happily wagging her tail, glad that you are home?
Maddie is 60 lbs, spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heart worm negative and current on prevention.

Looking for a sweet, fun loving energetic girl? A companion for your hiking trips? Do you give good belly rubs? If so, then I'm the girl for you! My name is Bailey and I am a 2 year old super happy pupper who would love an active forever family. I'm very smart, like to learn new things and learn quickly. I give great hugs and love to give kisses.
Dog friendly with both big and small dogs, even bunnies. I even climbed in the bunny cage to take a nap with my friend. (see picture)
Bailey is 45 lbs. spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heatworm negative and current on prevention.
*In addition to her adoption fee, there is a $150 transport fee.

- Anyone who wants to run around, play and wrestle is a friend. But my exuberant energy can be a little overwhelming for older dogs.
- I love all people and even kids, but might be too much energy for kiddo's under 10 years old.
- I'm calmer in the house and would love a human to cuddle up with on the couch after an adventurous day of hiking, running or exploring.
- Going on walks, jogs or runs is the best part of my day - so many new smells and meeting new people is so much fun!
- More people to give me belly rubs!!
- I am crate trained and need to be crated when left alone. Sometimes, I just can't help myself, when left alone and get into things left laying around.
- Having fun and investigating anything and everything is what I do to entertain myself when lonely, so if you can give me daily exercise and guidance, I promise to be on my best behavior.
- I love to explore and go on adventures - so a secure fenced yard is important.
- My foster mom taught me how to sit like a lady, shake, lay down and get in my bed when told.
- I'm not a big barker, but will let you know if someone new comes to the door or there is stranger danger near our yard.
- I love to play fetch, tug of war, chew on bones, get treats, get belly rubs and of course give kisses - those are my favorites; I give lots of kisses.
- I'd rather not be cooped up in a crate all day, so someone who works from home, stays at home or is not gone for long hours would make me happiest.
- I'm pretty good walking on a leash, I pull a little at first because I'm just so excited to see the world.
- I don't know about those small fluffy things they call cats, so maybe a home without them.
- Just looking for a person/family to include me, love me and teach me things.
Bailey is 45 lbs. spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heatworm negative and current on prevention.
*In addition to her adoption fee, there is a $150 transport fee.

Barclay
Port Angeles, WA
|
|
|
|
Barclay is a 10+ year old border collie mix who was rescued from the home of a deceased owner in Texas. He and his housemates were emaciated and had multiple internal parasites and skin conditions when found. After months of care, all have recovered very well, and Barclay is now ready for his forever home. Although he still has some thin patches in his fur, his coat continues to recover daily.
Barclay is a sweet, goofy boy who loves, loves, loves to play toss with plush toys, which he will do for hours if you oblige. Barclay never met a toy that he doesn’t like, and he loves to take them from the toy basket, one by one to show them his affection. He is particularly fond of chew toys. He gets along very well with his current doggie housemate, but will bark at unfamiliar dogs, so I expect he just needs a calm, proper introduction. Barclay is wary of strangers until they give him treats, pets, or play toss with him, and then he is your fast friend. Barclay has good energy for a senior, and he shows no signs of joint disease, although he is on a maintenance dose of Cosequin as a good precaution. Barclay has not had much practice on leash, but should do well with training. He is fully house trained and crate trained, and after initially chewing the leg of a wooden chair when he first arrived, he has not been at all destructive in the house, even with shoes and other human items laying about. I leave him loose in the house for hours when I am gone with full confidence. He does not get on the couch uninvited. Barclay will get nervous and lonely if left in the yard unattended and occasionally digs holes. He really just wants to be with his people all the time or in the house if you are not there.
He jumps in the car whenever the door is open, but he likes to stand rather than sit when riding, so a seat belt or crate is advisable. He is a faithful boy who loves affection and playing with his human. Barclay has many years of joyful life left that he would love to share with you.
Barclay is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations. If you are interested in Barcley, please fill out an application. WASR strongly believes in the loving potential of senior dogs. Barclay's adoption fee will be supported in part by a good Samaritan.

Maverick
Seattle, WA
|
|
|
|
Maverick is an almost 7-year-old high-energy red border collie. If Maverick could say just one word, it would be “more!” Maverick always wants more petting, more walks and runs, and more fetch. He’s a winning combination of sweet and smart, with a wonderful drive as well. He easily picks up training and loves to go for runs, walks, and hikes. He’d be an excellent candidate for dog sports. After his exercise, he’ll happily relax with you and ask for lots of scratches.
Maverick is polite with other dogs and has lived with cats previously. He is not destructive in the house and is house-trained. Although he will destroy toys and eat pieces of them if not properly supervised. He does a few alert barks to let you know that visitors are at the door but otherwise isn’t a big barker. He walks politely on the leash and has picked up several new tricks (sit, down, stay, leave it, drop it). He would make an amazing companion for an active couple or a family with teenagers.
Maverick does have a few behavioral quirks that mean his ideal adopter is dog-savvy and preferably has previous herding dog experience. Maverick is very high energy and has a very strong herding drive. Without proper physical and mental exercise, Maverick will direct those impulses into herding cars, bikers, joggers and will also chase shadows and reflections. Given Maverick’s strong herding drive, he will do best in a home with only adults or adults and dog-savvy teenagers. In addition, Maverick displays a relatively common canine behavior called resource guarding over very high-value items such as human food (particularly meat). His foster family has begun to work with Maverick on this but it will require ongoing management and training. They have a detailed training plan that they are happy to share with Maverick’s adopters.
Maverick is an amazing dog who will make a loyal and loving companion for an adopter who is willing to meet his needs!
Maverick is microchipped and up to date on his vaccines. He weighs approximately 37 pounds.
We will only schedule meet n greets with Maverick after an application has been approved which includes reference checks and a home visit. You can find the application here. Maverick is located in the Seattle, WA area. His adoption fee is $300

Cash would do well in an active home with kids and other dogs. He'd be a great hiking or running buddy. But he also enjoys snuggling on the couch and will wash your face with kisses. A family who wants their doggie to be an important part of their life would be great for him.
Cash has received basic obedience training, therefore he knows how to walk well on a leash, sit, stay, place and come. Along with his adoption comes complimentary training classes and consulting from his training to set his new family up for wonderful success.
He's 50 pounds , neutered, heartworm negative and fully vetted. Cash is in the Spokane, WA area.
- He is house trained, crate trained, doesn't bark, and gets along well with other dogs.

- He loves toys & he loves to snuggle.

Are you looking for daily joy in your life? Look no further than Hope and Faith. This bonded sister pair brings all the perfect things you are looking for in a dog: calm and loving, well mannered, doesn’t pull on a leash, great with people (including children) and other dogs, no separation anxiety, not destructive in any way, rarely barks, up to date on vaccines.
Faith is a gentle, sweet, senior girl who wants to greet everyone she meets, tail wagging. She is inquisitive, and playful in the right circumstances. She would make a great therapy dog. She is 13 years old and in good health except for weak rear legs. She does better on carpet and sometimes needs help with the front stairs. Faith is a special needs sweetie. She is deaf and would do best staying with her sister, Hope.
Hope is also a smart, sweet senior girl, that lets Faith get all the attention. Hope will stick with you all day, while her sister sleeps, and is the protector of the pack. She makes sure that Faith is not left behind or does not stray out of reach. Hope is 12 years old and in good health. She might be interested in senior-level agility, as she flies up and down stairs and took to a nearby ramp immediately.

SHANNON
DO NOT CONTACT WESTERN AUSSIE RESCUE ...WE HAVE NO FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OR THIS DOG
Shannon is a sweet and shy lovebug. This heeler mix found herself looking for a new home after one of her owners passed away. She takes a little while to warm up to new people (particularly men), but will just stay in her own space until she’s ready to come to you. But once she’s decided you’re ok, this girl will be your best friend and come to you for gentle pets while she gazes into your eyes and tries to give you kisses. She would love to have a person (and/or perhaps another dog with the right introductions) who could be around most of the time, but she does very well in a crate when no one’s home. In fact, she LOVES her crate…it’s her favorite place to hang out whether or not you are home. Shannon is pretty quiet, but will sometimes alert bark if she hears a car pull up or something go bump in the night. She walks very nicely on leash and only pulls for really great smells or critters on the run (so no small animals in the house for her). Shannon is housetrained as long as she is given regular potty breaks, around six years old, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations.

Pearl
We are no longer accepting applications
Portland, OR
|
|
This adorable little moppet is Pearl, an 18-week old Aussie/Corgi female. Pearl weighs about 20 pounds and is up to date on vaccines. Pearl is a super-active puppy, full of zing and energy; sometimes she levitates straight up into the air with joy. She loves toys and chewys and isn't beyond checking out a shoe or two if they're left where she can find them. She knows sit and lay down and is working on other tricks and behaviors. She is pretty good on leash and loves to go for walks. After her initial excitement over meeting new people Pearl will settle down and be much calmer. Pearl is good about letting you know when she needs to go out but being a small puppy sometimes she forgets. She sleeps at night in her crate. Pearl gets along with other dogs but isn't really a dog park type of dog.
Because of Pearl's youth and energy she will not be a good fit for a home with young children. She will do best in a home where either she can go to work with her owner or they are home most of the time. She will not do well in a home where she is alone for long hours and only gets a couple walks a day. We are looking for a sport home for Pearl. She needs someone who will commit to taking her to puppy classes, give her lots of thought provoking games to play inside, provide equipment and puzzles for her to explore outside, and ultimately join her in a doggy sport of some sort.
If you think Pearl might be the dog for you, please fill out an application here. We will only schedule meet n greets with Pearl after your application has been reviewed, references checked, and a home visit done. She is located in the Portland, OR area. Her adoption fee is $300.
