Cashew
Port Angeles, WA
|
|
Cashew, is a little shy but super sweet and well mannered. 35lbs. She’s 1-2 yrs old, spayed, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped etc... She needs a patient, quiet, owner who will give her opportunities to build her confidence and time to come out of her shell. Potty trained, dog and cat friendly, house trained, and crate trained. She’s learning to enjoy leash walks and car rides. She and the rest of her dog family was abandoned on the side of a road in TX and thankfully were brought to the attention of our connections there. We took in all 5 adult dogs(and 5 puppies!!), completed their vet care and transported them to foster homes where they’re awaiting the next chapter in their lives: their forever home! If your looking for a mellow, sensitive, smart companion, and you’re willing to give her time to become the brave dog she wants to be, Cashew might be the perfect dog for you!
Sally and her 5 Puppies
Portland, OR
This beautiful coonhound mix is Sally, about 2 years old and weighing 65 pounds. Sally is as sweet as can be and loves to have her chin and chest scratched. She is very frisky, romping through the yard, throwing toys around, playing with her five puppies. Sometimes she does a play bow and then sends you a coy, flirty look as if to say, aren't I cute? She is somewhat shy and doesn't like quick movements towards her. Sally has so far loved all the people she has met. She does well on walks, velcroing herself to your hip so she doesn't lose you. She is not a candidate for off leash areas yet, being a hound she will run.
Sally's perfect home would have a large fenced yard to play in and hang out. Someone who wants to run/jog, hike, and any outdoorsy activities would have a good time with her. She doesn't know any tricks or commands so is a blank slate for you to teach. While on walks she pretty much ignores other dogs but we really don't know how she would be around another dog. We don't know about cats either. With kind, loving attention and positive training Sally will be a great family dog.
Sally is not spayed yet because she still has milk. She is micro-chipped, has been wormed, and is up to date on vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $450 which includes a $150 transport fee.

Harry

Harry
Harry is a very handsome, blond-haired, blue-eyed gentleman puppy. He is more of a loner, going off on adventures of his own, until he is enticed back into a game of chase and bitey face by one of his siblings. He likes to nap. Especially while being cuddled in your lap. He doesn't lack confidence and takes everything in stride with courage and aplomb.
Harry was born Valentine's Day weekend. He is micro-chipped, has been wormed, and received his first set of vaccinations. Depending on adoption date, he may receive his second set of vaccinations before going to his new home. We require a spay/neuter agreement and $100 deposit for Harry because he is too young for the procedure. The deposit will be returned when proof of spay/neuter at the appropriate age is provided to the rescue. The puppy adoption fee is $300.

Fluffer Nutter
This adorable little tyke is Fluffer Nutter, a confident little banty hen masquerading as a puppy. Fluffer is Number One in the puppy heirarchy, strutting around the yard like she's a 50-pound adult dog instead of a 10-pound baby. She hasn't met a person she doesn't adore and really loves to lay on her back in your lap, allowing you to rub her belly.

Cadberry

Cadbury
Cadbury, the smallest of the puppies, likes to chase and annoy her sister, Peanut Butter Cup (see below). Like her brothers and sisters she is a confident little girl, nothing seems to frighten her. She loves people and will take a cuddle or two but then it's time to go and find a sibling to play with, a toy to carry around, or a rose bush to tear apart.

Peanut Butter Cup

Peanut Butter Cup
Peanut Butter Cup is a sweet, chocolate and peanut butter colored girl puppy, with a personality to match. She is a lover, happy to be cuddled in your lap, especially if a belly rub is in the mix. She and Cadbury have a special bond, always playing and fighting and stealing toys/sticks/clumps of grass and dog fur from each other. She is a thoughtful puppy, looking at you with her big brown eyes as if trying to share her puppy secrets with you. Or maybe it's just a ploy to get you to pick her up and cuddle her.

David
David
This cute little white and tan boy puppy is David. Like all his siblings, David is a cuddler extraordinaire, always happy to be in your lap having a belly rub or an ear scratching. He uses his blue eyes to his advantage because once he focuses them on you, you will do what he wants. David is the most vocal of the puppies; demanding to be let out, crying for his meal, warning off the imagined stranger danger (he has never met a stranger he doesn't like and is not in danger), telling his siblings to stop chewing on his leg/ear/mouth/tail. He is the spokes-puppy for the rest because what he asks for, they all get as well.

Monday
Waiting to come to the PNW
|
|
Monday is a happy, energetic 8 month old Australian Cattle dog mix looking for an active human(s) to share their love of the outdoors.
This lovable boy would make the best adventure companion for hiking, running, and camping.
Happiest when he gets daily physical and mental exercise, along with play time.
He LOVES to play - fetch with his humans, with other dogs, with the wobble ball - anything that's fun, he's your guy!
His foster mom has a K9 Cannon that shoots out tennis balls which Monday can catch right out of the air.
Super intelligent boy who is very trainable.
Great on leash. He doesn't pull, he listens to directions/redirects and is non reactive to other dogs and people.
Housetrained and crate trained.
Dog friendly and likes to play with the other dogs in his foster home. Would love to have another dog to play with in his forever home.
Cats are unknown, so not recommended.
Children old enough to walk him, play with him and learn to train him only because his exuberant energy and jumping up to say hello could knock over small children.
Still in the puppy chewing stage, so will need lots of appropriate chew toys and need to be crated with a treat filled Kong, when left alone until he learns his boundaries.
If he's bored, he will find ways to entertain himself by digging up rocks to play with or sticks to chew on.
A home where his people are not gone long hours, have a good sized fenced yard and are willing to take him to puppy training classes would be best.
Monday is 45 lbs, neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, including rabies, heartworm negative and current on prevention.
*In addition to his adoption fee, there is a $175 transport fee to bring this handsome boy to the PNW.

Reba
Spokane, WA

This beautiful redhead is Reba. Reba is a 4 year old Kelpie. House trained. Crate trained. Good with chickens & cats. Good with other dogs but better with male dogs.
Reba came to WASR after living on her own & having significant trust issues. She has made great progress but still distrustful of men. Weighs about 35-40lbs. She is probably one of the smartest dogs I have ever been around.
Good things about Reba:
Food & toy motivated
Basic obedience
Great recall
Reba is very nearly ready to trial in started stock dog trials.
Very quick, smart girl. An absolutely natural at working stock. This is where she shines.
Loves to hike.
Not so good things:
Not snuggly. If you need a dog to snuggle she would prefer not. She needs her personal space. She is affectionate. Just not snuggly.
Would benefit from working to improve comfort with strangers & in new situations.
Reba’s number one ideal home would be where she could work sheep. Not many people these days have a need for a working dog.
Reba’s second pick for a home would be with someone who is active & likes the outdoors. Someone dog savvy & with an interest in training. Reba is super smart & has great drive.
No apartment homes please.
Currently north of Spokane, WA

Shadow
We are no longer accepting applications for Shadow
Portland, OR
|

This handsome young boy Aussie dog is Shadow, 40 pounds of pure love and
exuberance. Shadow will be one year old in April 2021. He is up to date
on vaccinations including rabies, is micro-chipped, and will be neutered
soon. Shadow is a typical Australian shepherd puppy. Full of himself,
active and playful, laser focused on his people, agile and very fast. He
is learning about toys and balls, loves to run and play with his foster
sister, and is interested in the resident cat. We think he could learn
to get along with cats as he appears to be more interested than aggressive.
He is a work in progress on crate training, being left alone, and
jumping up. He is pretty well house trained but as with all puppies and
new dogs a routine for bathroom breaks will ensure he doesn't have any
accidents. He really wants to be with his people and will cry and whine
if he knows they are home and he isn't with them. The changes in his
life have made him somewhat anxious but if asked to perform his tricks
that seems to help his confidence. He has lived with a toddler but
because of his exuberance and jumping behavior we think his new family
will be child-free or children over 10 years.
Shadow will be placed in a home with a fenced yard, someone who is home
most of the time, and uses only positive reinforcement training. His
perfect home could have a nice, dog-friendly companion to play with. We
would love to adopt him to someone who wants to do agility or nosework
or some other dog sport.
Shadow is located in Portland, OR. His adoption fee is $350. We will
only schedule meet n greets after an approved application has been
received and vetted, including reference checks and a home visit. You
may fill out the application here:

DeDe
Emmett, Idaho

DeDe's family has asked for our help in finding her a new home. Her elderly mom had to go into a nursing home and sadly was not allowed to bring DeDe. She is a 9 year old Pug Chihuahua mix who is a wonderful companion with a great personality. She would probably be better as an only dog but has done well around large dogs as you can see. DeDe is housetrained and loves going outdoors to explore. If you would like to welcome DeDe home please email amytimony@gmail.com.
