Read more about Evie

Evie is a darling young girl. She came to us via a local puppy miller, very pregnant. Her mama duties are done, she's vetted, we've gotten to know her outside of being a mama and it's her time to be someone's baby. She is sweet, fairly active and good with dogs. She loves affection and attention but doesn't quite understand this lap dog stuff and won't stay there long. She looks like a perfect mix of toy poodle and maltese but she's the wrong color. There was a havanese with the same coloring so she may have some of that too. Her coat is maltese fine but curlier and her tail curls like a cinnamon roll, tight and sits straight up on her back.
She is still learning to be a house pet. She is not house broken nor crate trained. If left too long without trips outside, she will soil in the home or her crate. She doesn't necessarily use the provided puppy pads either. Her new family must be able to continue to help her with these things. She is not leash trained either so that will need to be worked on. And this also means, a securely fenced yard is required, no exceptions. No younger children in the home either.
We have her on a good grain free, chicken free food (as all maltese should be on due to them being prone to allergies with both) and she's doing great. She's been groomed twice now, once the day we got her and recently before her spay. She was a matted, stinky, long nails and flea infested girl when we got her. We never want her in that condition again. Please provide your groomers name and phone number on our adoption application if you would like to apply for her.

Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.

Foster Profile:
May is a very loving girl and just wants to jump up and give kisses. We're working diligently on not jumping. She's very smart and seems to have potty training down and has not had an accident inside while I've had her. That being said, I do have a doggie door so she can let herself out, but I'm confident she will learn quickly to ask to go out, especially if she as an older dog to show her the ropes. She likes her crate, and will put herself in the crate to nap. I have it in my bedroom and she has not cried at night at all. She sleeps 8 hours without incident. Leash training is a work in progress, but with continued training she will catch on fast.

This little (NOT) girl has stolen my heart in just a few short days and will steal yours as well.

Chester will thrive in a home that is looking for their next best friend, shadow, and overall every day companion.

Read more about Chester

Animal Information: Chester is a 5-year-old, 24lb "norfolk terrier" mix (according to his records). He was brought into the Stanislaus Shelter as a stray in late September of this year. Unfortunately, no one came to claim him, which put him at risk for space in an overcrowded shelter. Lucky for Chester, the shelter staff advocated for him and he earned a freedom ride to the PNW! Chester is friendly with people and was tested well with other dogs. We look forward to getting to know him!

Foster Profile: Chester is the definition of a happy-go-lucky boy! Since day one with his foster, he’s loved to be included, play, and been the best house guest. Chester is potty trained, leash trained (and responds well to correction), meets strangers happily, and has decided the candy corn rope toy in his foster’s home may be his favorite thing in the world.

She's a bright, energetic puppy who will be a great addition to an active home.

19. Peanut

Young (5 months 1 day) · Male · Rat Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from Bremerton

Animal Information: Peanut is a 4-month-old terrier mix who came into rescue locally after his owner experienced challenges with their mental health and a care provider stepped in to help.

Peanut was purchased when he was only a couple of weeks old, much too young to be separated from his mother. He was sent home with a finger glove of mother’s milk and became a bottle baby. Because he was raised as a singleton puppy without the opportunity to learn from his mother or other puppies, Peanut is still learning important social skills with other dogs.

When introduced to other dogs, including puppies, Peanut was a little fearful at first but showed that he is resilient and willing to learn. He is now headed into foster care with an experienced foster and a balanced pack of dogs who can help teach him all about being a confident, well socialized puppy.

Peanut loves to play, is eager to engage with his people, and is already started on his crate and potty training journey. He has so much potential and we are excited to watch him grow and learn in foster care.

More information will be shared as we get to know this sweet little guy better!

Peanut

! At just
5 months old

romping around outside
,

chewing on sticks
, and chasing his own tail, which is guaranteed to keep you entertained. He is a true
Velcro dog

who loves hard and wants to be glued right to your side the moment playtime is over. Because Peanut was
raised as a bottle baby

great with his potty training
. If you are looking for a smart, loyal, and hilariously fun companion to complete your family and help him grow into the best dog he can be, sweet little Peanut is ready to find his forever home!

20. Freya

Adult (3 years 11 months) · Female · Alaskan Malamute (medium coat) · 23 mi from Bremerton

Meet Freya — A Gorgeous, Loyal Alaskan Malamute Ready for a Life Filled With Adventure and Love

Freya is the kind of Malamute who makes you stop in your tracks. Beautiful, bright, and full of heart, she’s a four‑legged companion who wants nothing more than to be part of a family’s daily rhythm. If you’re searching for a dog who thrives on activity, connection, and purpose, Freya may be the perfect match.

A Well‑Mannered, Well‑Trained Girl

Read more about Freya

Freya comes with a solid foundation of training that makes her a joy to live with. She knows sit, stay, down, and will come when called. She’s leash trained, making walks smooth and enjoyable, and she rides calmly in the car, ready for any adventure you throw her way.

Her daily routine currently includes long runs, and on Sundays she gets her special treat — a trip to the woods for extended exploring. She’s an active dog who genuinely loves movement, fresh air, and having a job to do.

Sweet, Social, and People‑Focused

Freya is wonderfully sweet with kids and enjoys meeting new people. She’s affectionate, friendly, and happiest when she’s included in family life. Her current owners have cared for her well and given her basic training, but the setup isn’t ideal for her anymore. She currently lives in
Okanogan, WA where s
he is kept outdoors. Freya longs to be inside with her humans, ideally with her own cozy bed.

Her Ideal Home: Active, Loving, and Attentive

Freya’s next chapter should be with a family who truly treasures her. She needs:

An active lifestyle — daily exercise, weekend adventures, and plenty of mental stimulation

A home where she can live indoors and be part of the family

No farm animals due to her strong prey drive

Preferably no other dogs, or possibly a large, calm male dog

No female dogs, as she can be reactive and competitive with them

Freya isn’t aggressive by nature, she’s simply a Malamute with opinions, instincts, and a strong personality. With the right environment, she’ll thrive.

A Dog Who Wants to Belong

More than anything, Freya wants connection. She wants her people. She wants to be included, guided, and loved. She’s ready for a home that understands the Malamute spirit; independent yet deeply loyal, energetic yet affectionate, stubborn yet endlessly rewarding.

If you’re looking for a stunning, devoted companion who will happily join you on runs, hikes, road trips, and everyday life, Freya is waiting for her chance. She’s ready to leave outdoor living behind and step into a future where she’s cherished, engaged, and part of a family that sees her for the incredible dog she is.

Adopting a dog in Bremerton

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
