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.

Harper has received her first round of puppy vaccines and dewormer, is microchipped, and will be spayed as part of her adoption agreement when she is around 6 months. Her adoption fee is $525.

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

Sid will be vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $450

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.

Animal History: This dog was transferred from Stanislaus Shelter in California.

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!

Foster Profile:
Meet

Peanut

! At just
5 months old
, this incredibly handsome male puppy is a bundle of joy with a v
ery cute, silly personality

and lots of playful energy to share. Peanut’s absolute favorite hobbies are
playing with his toys

,

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
, he has an incredibly deep bond with humans, though he is
still learning how to properly navigate being around other dogs
. For a young pup, Peanut already has an impressive resume; he has

learned how to sit

, is

crate trained
,

sleeps through the night
, and is doing

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! He is a bit vocal so not a good fit for apartments. We are looking for a home with a securely fenced yard and a family with previous dog experience that is looking for their next adventure buddy.

Biggins is vaccinated, neutered and chipped. 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.

She is beautiful inside and out and we cannot believe anyone could give up a dog this fantastic. We would love someone that knows this breed. She has the shortened nose so this breed cannot tolerate heat well. Anyone that has had a Frenchie knows this. She would be fine with a moderately active family. She can go with children as well. We like them to be 8 or older. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally. We can work with one of the wonderful transporter to help her get to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Foster Profile: Toffee is a sweet and curious girl that loves everyone. She can be a bit shy upon meeting new people and new situations but warms up quickly once she feels comfortable. With a bit of training and confidence building she will grow is to a happy outgoing girl. She is crate trained and housetrained! Toffee is playful but also enjoys a good nap and snuggles. She is very food motivated, making her easy to train as she is also very smart and eager to learn. She is currently co exiting well with the 3-year-old human foster brother and would be a good addition to a family with children. She would also be happy to have another dog sibling in her forever family. She has not been cat tested but can be cat tested upon request. She is currently about 35 pounds but judging by her paws and long legs she has a few more months of growing will get a bit bigger.

Animal History: This dog was transferred from Stanislaus in Modesto, CA. He will be transferred via Wigglebutts, arriving to foster care on 9/27/26 and available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.

Foster Merv (aka Merlin) arrived two weeks ago and is slowly settling in. He didn’t come from great beginnings and that’s pretty obvious in his mannerisms. He’s pretty fearful and will sometimes cower when his foster mom reaches down to pet him, but little by little, he’s gaining confidence and learning that he’s safe and loved.

He’s doing great going potty outside and is mostly quiet in his crate. When Merv first arrived, he had no idea how to walk on a leash. Now he gets SO excited when the leash comes out and absolutely loves his walks! Watching his confidence grow has been pretty special.

Merv will need a quieter home with a patient family who will give him time to continue building trust. We think he’d really benefit from another confident dog to show him the ropes. A fenced yard would also be ideal, because while Merv now loves his walks, he has yet to decide that pooping on a leash is acceptable.

Merv is such a sweet boy, and with a little time, patience and love, we know he’s going to blossom into an absolute gem of a dog.
