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.

Foster Profile: Ringo is such a sweet puppy! He is happy, playful and loves affection. Everything is new to him, including human attention, so he likes to step back and observe before he gets comfortable in a new situation. He loves his bed and crate as a safe space. He also LOVES toys- he gets every toy he can find and carries it to his favorite spot to play. So far, he has been interested in playing but respectful with the resident dogs who mostly ignore him. He is picking up quickly on the routine of life in a home, he observes and approaches everything with caution. He is gangly with his long legs and the cutest explorer. Potty and crate time has been going great! He is a big boy at almost 30 pounds at 12 weeks old!

Foster Profile: Rascal was understandably a little unsure when she arrived to DGS. She needed an extensive dental procedure to extract 4 teeth that had become unviable due to an old fractured jaw. Our vet believes she had blunt force trauma to the jaw but she has taken it all in stride, offering nothing but affection to everyone she's met. She's social, not dominant, and playful with other dogs. She loves to play with Philo who came from the same property. She has taken fantastically to crate training and has no observed resource guarding tendencies. We will share more info about her as we continue to get to know her.

Foster Profile: Hwyn is a love bug. She came to us from a horrible situation, shut down and scared. In a few short days she is a completely different dog. Out going, friendly, loves her dog siblings and our kids. She is completely nighttime potty trained and with regular potty breaks doesn't have any accidents. She is a dream to walk on a leash, doesn't pull and just happy. She will curl up in your lap and nap which won't last long because she will be a big girl. We are working on sit and not jumping or counter surfing. She is a puppy and has a lot of puppy energy. Whoever adopts her is going to be so lucky because she is going to be an amazing dog.

Foster Profile: Arvis was a little fearful at first but is showing she is resilient and wiling to learn. She loves calm respectful kids and her playful side is coming out. Arvis is as sweet and gentle as they come! She loves her toys.. some would say she is a bit of a toy hoarder but in the cutest way possible! She has a very gentle mouth and loves some good belly rubs! When she first came to us she was scared, and could use some help building her confidence. When she met our resident dog, she lit up as she was so excited to see another dog! She gives the sweetest kisses and snuggles and is close to playing with him, so we see that developing while she builds confidence. She is crate trained and sleeps thru the night without a peep! House training is going well. She lets you know she needs to go out by sitting by the back door and does her business quickly once let outside. She is going to be the best family dog!

Animal Information: Chili Pete is estimated to be 2-years-old and about 35lbs. He was transferred to Washington in December of 2025 from a Long Island rescue. Chili is very social with people and does well with other dogs. In true cattle dog fashion, he can be a little push in play but he is easy to correct. Chili has good leash manners, and was house and crate trained in a previous foster home. Foster Profile: Coming Soon!

Animal History: This dog was transferred from Whatcom Humane Society in WA after being confiscated as part of a cruelty case. He will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.

This guy is pure joy! He's confident, loves people and other dogs, and he greets every day like it's the best one yet. He's a puppy in a grown-up body, with medium energy, plenty of silliness, a stunning black-and-white coat, and soulful eyes that will melt you on the spot.

Chance is crate trained and sleeps through the night without a peep. He's working on his house manners and on keeping his excitement in check, but he's smart, eager to please, and a quick, willing learner.

Because of his size and enthusiasm, a home without young children would be the best fit, ideally one that will include him in adventures, daily enrichment, consistency, and training. We don't yet know how he feels about cats.

Chance is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $450

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.

Luna is the definition of a gentle giant. She adores being around her people and thrives on affection. Whether it’s leaning in for pets, following her humans from room to room, or simply lounging nearby, she’s happiest when she’s part of the family’s daily rhythm.

She currently lives in
Milwaukie Oregon
with dogs, cats, and children—and she gets along beautifully with everyone. Inside her home, she’s calm, friendly, and easygoing. She hasn’t had much experience meeting dogs outside her familiar circle, but her family believes she’ll warm up quickly with slow, positive introductions.

Confident, a Little Bossy, and Completely Charming

During her evaluation, Luna showed off her personality in the best way. She greeted her evaluator with a few friendly “Malamute words,” then settled quickly and confidently. She enjoyed pets, ran a few joyful zoomies, and then relaxed like she owned the place. She’s a confident girl with a touch

of bossiness—but in that sweet, endearing Malamute way that makes you laugh more than anything else.

Ready to Learn, Explore, and Grow

Because Luna hasn’t had much exposure to the outside world, she’ll need a patient adopter who can help her learn leash skills, build confidence, and discover new adventures. She’s smart, eager to please, and bonded to her people—wonderful traits for a dog who’s ready to expand her horizons.

She does experience some separation anxiety and has always been allowed to free‑roam in the home. She’s fully house trained and settles well when her people are around.

Health Notes & Care Needs

Luna has seasonal allergies that can cause hot spots from licking. She currently receives a monthly allergy injection that helps keep things under control. She’s also overweight and will need a family committed to helping her shed some pounds through healthy food choices and gentle exercise.

Who Luna Is Looking For

Luna’s ideal family will be:

Patient and encouraging, ready to help her learn leash manners and explore the world

Affectionate and present, as she thrives on companionship

Committed to her health, including weight loss and allergy management

Looking for a calm, confident dog who doesn’t require the typical high‑energy Malamute lifestyle

She would do best in a home without very young children simply due to her size, but she’s been wonderful with kids in her current home.

A Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime Companion

Luna is a stunning, sweet, soulful girl who has so much love to give. She’s the kind of dog who makes a house feel like a home—steady, affectionate, and full of personality. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will adore being part of your world, Luna may be the perfect match.

This big beautiful girl is ready for her next chapter. She’s ready for a family who will cherish her, guide her, and help her shine.

Boomer has received his first round of puppy vaccines, is microchipped, and will be neutered as part of his adoption agreement when he is between 8-12 months (this is not optional). His adoption fee is $525.

When Mabel’s time at the shelter was up, we simply couldn’t say no to giving this sweet girl a chance at the good life here in the PNW. We’re so excited to see her chapter change from survival to the happy, loving life she deserves.

Foster Profile: Mabel is a sweet happy girl looking for an active family to call her own. She does well with other dogs and would be happy for a dog sibling in her forever home but would also be ok without another dog. She loves exploring outside time and would be a great running and hiking buddy. She is working on her obedience and does well in the crate and on leash. She will need an owner with breed experience to continue her training. She would do well in a home with older dog savvy kids. Due to her prey drive we are not considering a home with cats.

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter (on contract, if applicable), core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).

Animal History: This dog was transferred from Stanislaus Shelter in Modesto, CA. He will be transferred via START arriving to foster care on 9/17/26 and available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.

Guinevere is a talker. She sings, she comments, she reminds you she exists — especially if she’s been left alone longer than she prefers. She’s not destructive, just expressive. Her “lovely singing voice” is her way of saying, Hey, I miss you. Come hang out with me.

She adores people and attention, and she’ll happily lean against your legs or sit on your feet while gazing up at you like you’re her whole world.

An Explorer With a Nose for Adventure

Walking Guinevere is a joy. She’s pretty easy on leash, though she does love to zigzag so she can sniff every interesting scent along the way. Exploring is her favorite hobby, and she’ll happily join you on outdoor adventures, hikes, or long strolls where she can take in all the smells.

She’s also a zoomie enthusiast — volunteers say she loves to play, romp, and show off her goofy side.

A Social Girl… With Preferences

Guinevere has gotten along well with most dogs she’s met and tends to prefer males. She’s indifferent to food, which makes training a bit more challenging, but she’s eager for attention and praise. She still jumps up on people, but her caregivers are actively working on this.

She’ll require a meet‑and‑greet with any resident dog to make sure the match is right.

A True Malamute Coat & A True Malamute Talent

Guinevere has the long, dense coat typical of her breed — beautiful, plush, and in need of regular grooming throughout her life.

She also has one classic Malamute trait: she is a super escape artist. Her future family will need secure fencing, awareness, and a commitment to keeping her safe.

Who She’s Looking For

Enjoy being active and want a dog who loves exploring

Can provide companionship and minimize long stretches of alone time

Have secure containment and Malamute‑savvy awareness

Are patient with training and willing to work around her “meh” attitude toward food rewards

Want a dog who is affectionate, silly, and full of personality

​
She would be a steadfast, loving companion for someone who appreciates a vocal, playful, people‑focused Malamute.

Foster Profile:
Meet Gus, a big boy with a lot of personality. Even at only 4 months old he is quickly mastering every challenge I throw at him. Potty training is in process, he will sit, lie down, settle and run to his kennel for dinner. He sleeps through the night, walks on a leash and has great recall. His ideal home will have a secure fence with room to play. He is smart so he will need a job to keep his brain busy. Ideally, another dog in the home will help with training. He already mimics my resident dog and picks up commands by imitation.

I can't say enough good about this boy. He is snuggly, entertains himself well and really wants to please. He will make a wonderful companion.

NOTE: Potential adopters (including fosters) will need to meet breed appropriate requirements - single family residence (no apartments) with suitable outdoor space/fencing required and Large breed experience preferred.

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter (on contract, if applicable), core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian.

Animal History: This dog was transferred from our rescue partner AARC in Del Rio, TX. he will be transferred via Paws Up Rescue, arriving to foster care on 09/26/2026 and will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.

Foster Profile: Lily is a sweet gentle soul. She’s learning to bring out her rough and tumble side and we see her make more choices with gumption daily which is great to see. The first few days transitioning into the groove at her foster home things were overwhelming for her but it turns out she’s really not a shy girl at all! She really enjoys both people and dogs. She may still need a slower intro with a more boisterous dog but eventually really enjoys running and wrestling. Potty training was also a big learning curve for her but we have seen HUGE improvements in that category as well. She’s calm and quiet in her crate. When she’s a sleepy girl she’s a total noodle which is exceptionally cute with her growing body. We expect her to be medium to large with how quickly she’s already growing. Lily loves food to support all of her speedy growing. She currently lives with a dog savvy cat and is doing well existing and interacting.
NOTE: Potential adopters will need to meet breed appropriate requirements - single family residence with suitable outdoor space/fencing required and LSGD breed experience preferred.

While Iris isn’t big on traditional dog toys, she does enjoy sneaking off with the cat’s toys instead. She knows basic cues like
Sit
,
Stay
, and
Wait
, and she’s eager to learn more with the right guidance.

Iris is a classic Malamute: smart, stubborn, vocal, and full of drive. She can become overstimulated when she sees other dogs and tends to get loud and excited. She also likes to be the center of attention and may nudge other dogs away to claim her people. Because of this, she has had conflicts with female dogs in the past and would do best in a home
without female dogs
. She may do well with a calm, compatible male dog.

She needs continued leash training and careful work around other animals to help her build confidence and better manners. With structure, patience, and consistency, she has great potential.

Her Ideal Home

Iris will thrive with adopters who:

Have no young children (due to her size and strength)

Can spend quality time with her each day

Enjoy outdoor activities and can help her burn off energy

Are committed to ongoing training

Prefer a home with no female dogs and possibly a well‑matched male dog

Her current family loves her dearly, but changes in their work schedules mean they can no longer give Iris the time, attention, and active lifestyle she deserves.

Why Iris Is Worth It

Iris is affectionate, loyal, and full of charm. She’s a dog who wants to be part of the family, who lights up when she’s included, and who will reward the right adopter with devotion and personality in spades. With structure, exercise, and continued training, she’ll blossom into an incredible companion.

If you’re looking for a gorgeous, spirited Malamute who’s ready for adventure and eager to bond, Iris may be the perfect match.

This boy has all the classic northern‑breed charm: he’s smart, energetic, outdoorsy, and full of personality. Although he’s been living mostly outside recently, Keno is housebroken and has a foundation of basic commands — sit, lay down, and even roll over. He walked beautifully on leash for his owner and shows that same potential with new handlers once he settles his excitement.

What is Keno Like

Dog‑friendly and social — Keno enjoys the company of friendly dogs of all sizes and reads canine body language well. He thrives around dogs who are calm and confident.
Smart and capable — He already knows sit, lay down, and roll over, and he walked beautifully on leash for his owner. With someone patient and consistent, he’ll pick up new skills quickly.
Housebroken — Even though he’s been living outdoors more recently, he remembers his manners indoors.
Energetic and fun‑loving — Keno has that classic northern‑breed enthusiasm and loves being active, exploring, and engaging with his people.
Independent but eager to bond — He may be a work in progress, but he genuinely wants to connect. Once he trusts you, he tries hard to listen and learn.
A respectful wanderer — He doesn’t dig or climb fences, but he does like to roam if given the chance, so secure fencing helps him stay safe while enjoying his space.

His Ideal Home

Keno will thrive with adopters who understand the Malamute/Husky mindset: independent, intelligent, and deeply loyal once bonded. His perfect match is a home with:

No young children
No small pets
A securely fenced yard
Owners experienced with high‑energy working breeds
Patience and commitment to training

Keno is a dog with incredible potential. Keno is searching for a new home where he can rebuild his sense of security and belonging.

He's still working on leash manners, staying focused around squirrels and rabbits, and polite greetings, but he's smart, eager to please, and learns quickly with consistent training.

Bruce hasn't lived with kids or cats, and he can be mouthy so we would only consider home with children 12 and up.

Bruce is being rehomed due to his owner's health and is looking for a kind, responsible home that can give him the time, exercise, and love he deserves.

Animal History: This dog is being rehomed due to his owners health and limited ability to care for him.

Her owner lives alone on Whidbey Island and works in Seattle 2-3 days a week. Most of the time Bertie cannot come along, so she spends many hours home alone. Her owner's job is also requiring more frequent travel, and there is a possibility of an overseas move within the next year. Bertie would do best in a home where she has more companionship, a consistent routine, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and interaction.

Bertie is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves being with her person. She enjoys walks, relaxing at home, and simply being close to the people she loves. She is happiest when she can be part of her family's daily life.

She is house-trained, crate-trained, and friendly with people. She does best with slow, proper introductions to other dogs and may be happiest as the only dog in the home.

Bertie completed an e-collar board-and-train program with Double Down Dog Training several years ago. While that training has not been consistently maintained, she has a good foundation and is working on polishing those skills again.

PEARL does not get along with the other dogs and prefers to be an only dog in the family. An ideal home would have a backyard where she can relax and appreciate all the smells of the outdoors,

Sandy loves playing outside in the yard, going for walks, snoozing by your side, getting brushed and loved on. Her foster mom is working hard with her to teach her the things she was never exposed to. At only 11 months Sandy is smart and learning quickly. We would love to see Sandy with a family experienced with larger dogs and the room to have her run around. A secure fenced yard is a must. Sandy's training will need to be continued - just basic things that she is already getting the hang of. We have a trainer on our staff who can assist!

She had surgery to correct her lower eyelashes from growing into her eyes and her eyes are now bright and sparkly (and more comfortable for her too).

Sandy is the best and we all adore her. We think you will too! Come and meet her :)

Sandy is spayed, vaccinated and chipped. Her adoption fee is $450

Wilson is housebroken, rides great in the car, and once he trusts you, he's an incredibly sweet, affectionate companion. He'll quietly follow you from room to room, happy just knowing you're nearby. He's not demanding—he just loves being with his people.

He can be shy with strangers and needs a little time to warm up, but kindness and patience are rewarded with unwavering loyalty. He'd be happiest as your one and only, though he may do well with calm, respectful dogs. (Cats are unknown.)

Wilson could stand to lose a few pounds, so he'd love a family who will enjoy leisurely walks and help him get back into shape. And if you happen to have treats... he'll gladly show you the tricks he knows.

Senior dogs have so much love left to give. Wilson isn't looking for perfection—just someone willing to give him the chance to feel safe, loved, and home again.

If you think Wilson might be the companion you've been looking for, please send us a message. And if you can't adopt, sharing his post could help him find the family he deserves.

Foster Profile: Some dogs you just know have all the makings of a fantastic companion. This boy is one of those! He absolutely loves to play -- fetch, tug, you name it. If you're not free for a game, he'll play by himself tossing his toys into the air! He is gentle and engaging with kids (as young as 4) and not particularly mouthy. He is learning crate training and house training and will be a quick study for obedience training because he's so eager to please. He already walks well on a leash. He does great with the pack of four dogs (male, female and a puppy) in his foster home but he's excitable on leash so will need training for public access. He's not aggressive to livestock (goats/chickens) and we expect he'd do great with cats too. His ideal family wants an active companion and is committed to training to make sure this big boy will be fulfilled and well-behaved. Apartments considered only with adequate exercise plans and no breed restrictions.

Foster Profile:
Flint is super sweet, he’s very energetic and LOVES to play. His favorite toys are anything he can chase and catch! He is highly food motivated, making training sessions easy and fun, though he will need someone patient to keep training fun and exciting for him. He is great with other dogs; he plays rough with smaller dogs and does need a bit of management when he disregards social cues. I chalk this up to his puppy brain. lol H

e’s a very rambunctious puppy! We are looking for a single family home with breed experience and a securely fenced yard for Flint. He is a high energy boy that needs a job -- He would make a great running buddy he is a sprinter and loves to go fast. He would love to go on adventures with you! We are not considering apartments for him at this time.

A Daily Life Filled With Fun, Activity, and Connection

Zeus is used to living life to the fullest. His days were spent:

Going on energizing morning runs
Playing in the backyard
Practicing training exercises (with a little Mal/Husky-style attitude sprinkled in)

He thrives with people who enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and including him in their daily adventures. If you’re looking for a companion who will happily join you on hikes, runs, or weekend outings, Zeus is your guy.

A Social Butterfly With a Gentle Heart

One of Zeus’s most endearing traits is how much he loves meeting people. He’ll walk right up, nuzzle into you, and politely ask for pets with those big, expressive eyes. He’s affectionate, loyal, and eager to bond with his humans.

With other dogs, Zeus loves some female dogs and will often roll onto his back to show submission — a sweet, goofy gesture that fits his personality perfectly. However, with male dogs Zeus likes to be the alpha. We recommend he not be in a home with other male dogs and carefully introduced to female dogs to see if they will get along.

A Dog With Quirks That Make Him Even More Lovable

Zeus has a few adorable quirks that make him unforgettable:

He loves cat toys — not to destroy, but to care for. He treats them like his babies and carries them around gently.
He’s a tug-of-war champion — when it comes to playtime, that’s his game of choice.
He knows tons of commands — sit, lay, speak, paw, recall, up, down, drop it, and stay.
He also knows how to negotiate — Zeus is smart enough to understand commands, but he’s also a Malamute/Husky… which means he sometimes prefers to perform them only when a treat sweetens the deal.

His intelligence, combined with his playful stubbornness, makes him both entertaining and rewarding to train.

What Zeus Is Looking For

Zeus will thrive with a family who:

Enjoys an active lifestyle
Wants a dog who’s affectionate, social, and deeply loyal
Can continue his training and keep his mind engaged
Appreciates a dog with personality, humor, and heart
Has the time and space to give him the life he’s used to

He’s not just looking for a home — he’s looking for a partnership, a family, and a place where he can be his joyful, loving self.

Zeus Is Ready to Start His Next Chapter

If you’ve been dreaming of a dog who will run with you in the morning, cuddle with you in the evening, and make you laugh every single day, Zeus might be the perfect match. He’s a big-hearted Mal/Husky with endless love to give, and he’s ready to share it with someone who will treasure him just as much as his former owner did.

Zeus isn’t just a dog — he’s a companion, a character, and a loyal friend waiting for his next adventure.
