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.

17. Peanut

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

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!

18. Freya

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

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.

19. Daisy

Puppy (2 months 30 days) · Female · Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 23 mi from Port Ludlow

Animal Information: Daisy was pulled from a canal in Stanislaus with her mom and sister weighing barely 1 lb, and her eyes were barely opened. Mama Poppy was trapped and couldn't get out, but luckily they were spotted and rescued before tragedy could strike. Daisy is now 3 months old, and her sister was adopted, but she and Mama Poppy were at risk for euthanasia due to length of stay. Despite growing up in a loud and scary shelter, Daisy is friendly, social, and sweet. We saw their stories and had to help! Poppy is a petite female shepherd that weighed only 45lbs at intake, and she also has an endearing personaility. We can't wait to meet these two survivors and show them what a good life should be like!

Foster Profile:

Meet Daisy — Tiny Paws, BIG Personality!

Don’t let those sweet puppy eyes and adorable satellite ears fool you… this little girl has places to be, things to sniff, and adventures to conquer!

Daisy is a beautiful 12-week-old Shepherd mix with enough energy to power a small city! ⚡️ She’s a little firecracker who is constantly on the move, always exploring, and always looking for her next adventure.

She’s incredibly alert, attentive, and surprisingly sure-footed for such a young pup. Not much gets past Miss Daisy! She’s curious, confident, and ready to take on the world, one paw at a time.

But here’s the sweetest part… underneath all that puppy chaos is an absolute cuddle bug. ❤️ Scoop her up in your arms, and she settles right in for some love and snuggles. Set her back down?
GAME ON!
She’s off to her next very important puppy mission!

Daisy’s mama weighs around 45 pounds, so while we can’t say exactly how big Daisy will get, she’s likely got some growing to do!

Daisy is going to need an active family who can keep up with her zest for life! She’s smart, busy, and full of potential, but she’ll need plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, structure, and training to help channel all that enthusiasm into becoming an amazing companion. We are looking for a single family home with a securely fenced yard, Shepherd or large breed experience preferred. We are not considering apartments for her at this time.

An experienced dog family would be ideal
, especially one familiar with the energy and intelligence that often come with Shepherd breeds.

Daisy isn’t looking for a couch-potato lifestyle (although she’ll happily borrow your lap for a cuddle). She’s looking for an adventure buddy, a family who enjoys staying active, and someone who understands that a busy puppy needs more than just a backyard to burn off energy.

Big personality. Bigger adventures. Endless energy. A whole lot of love.

If you’re ready for a little sunshine mixed with a whole lot of zoomies, Daisy just might be your girl!

20. Luna

Adult (5 years 5 months) · Female · Alaskan Malamute (medium coat) · 23 mi from Port Ludlow

Meet Luna — A Big, Beautiful Malamute With an Even Bigger Heart

Every so often, a dog comes along who feels like pure sunshine wrapped in fur. Luna is one of those dogs. At 5 years old and 124 pounds, she’s a gorgeous, confident Alaskan Malamute with a heart as oversized as her fluffy frame. She’s looking for a new home through absolutely no fault of her own. Her owner’s declining health means Luna needs a family who can give her the care, attention, and love she deserves.

A Sweetheart Through and Through

Read more about Luna

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.

    Applications are accepted online, then a home visit is scheduled unless the potential adopter does not qualify. After the home visit evaluation form is filled in online, we generally approve and the Adoption Team begins trying to match the humans with a "best fit" mal. We send dog bios to the adopter, who agrees to meet or passes on a particular dog. The adoption fee is $300 ($200 for seniors) which we collect at the time of adoption and hold for two weeks (sometimes longer) until the adoption is finalized.

Adopting a dog in Port Ludlow

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.
