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.

Meet Harper! This 4 month old chihuahua mix is such a fun and affectionate girl. She
loves to play tug of war with her foster mom, but also plays really well with toys on her own. She’s really snuggly too. She has been exploring the outside world from the comfort of her puppy stroller as she isn't fully vaccinated yet - s

Sweet Hootie is around 7 years old and about 30 lbs. He is a little on the plump side and could lose a few pounds but we don't judge... We're not sure of his breed mix but he has a Corgi look to him. Super cute!
Hootie is a very sweet boy. He loves other dogs, is great with kids and good with cats. An allrounder! He walks nicely on a leash and does well in the car. His only fault is that he is a velcro dog - he likes to follow you around the house so be prepared for some prying eyes when you're in the bathroom.

Meet Chance
Chance is a 3-year-old, 65-pound pitbull mix who's part cow, part puppy, and entirely goofy.
He was found as a stray and ended up in an overcrowded California shelter. He's found a soft place to land in his foster home in Snohomish, WA, where he's living with two other dogs. He's also being exposed to farm animals, and the many smells and sounds that life out of the shelter has to offer.
Read more about Chance
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

He is just a baby and is working on all the puppy things - potty training, crate training, etc. but is young and adaptable. He will need a family who is patient and supportive of him as he learns and grows into a happy and healthy adult dog. He would love another canine sibling in his furever home, but would also do ok with an active family ready to help burn some of his puppy energy.

25. Chester
Chester loves joining you for errands or anything else you may want to include him in. He rides well in the car, loves to cuddle on the couch with a cozy blanket, and LOVES to sniff.

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

26. Argie
Animal Information: Argie, along with her siblings Delia, Babs, Juice, and Otto, are tiny terrier mixes who found themselves at the Stanislaus shelter as part of an accidental litter. A shelter is no place for three tiny puppies, so we took one look at them and knew we had to get them out of there. We can't wait to meet these three little fuzz balls and see their personalities come out. We have a feeling they are going to be pretty popular!
Read more about Argie
Foster Profile:
Argie is a small terrier mix who's confident and playful. She enjoys a game of tug, is happy to meet new people, and loves running around the yard. She lives in a foster home with big adult dogs, and even at her tiny size, she holds her own playing alongside them. Argie is a bit of a sassy girl looking for someone to teach her fetch and help her with manners like staying in her crate until released and walking politely on a leash. She's a bright, energetic puppy who will be a great addition to an active home.
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.

27. Peanut
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.
Read more about Peanut
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.

Adopting a dog in Lakewood
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.
