💜***ADOPTED!!***💜 Buddy's guardian let me know today that he's found his forever home! 10/1/25

This is Buddy, and Buddy lives up to his name in all the best ways! This boy sounds like a sweetheart!

Buddy is 4 years old (not neutered yet) and is currently residing in Tacoma. His owner has been incarcerated, so a family member is caring for Buddy until we can find him a home.

I haven’t met Buddy in person, but am told that he’s loveable hunk of a dog, easy and friendly with everyone he meets (never met a stranger). He’s XXL sized – last weigh-in he was 163 pounds! He’s been good on leash (loves to sniff) and does not pull, he knows sit, down, and stay.

According to his caretaker, he’s been easy to care for because of his good nature and friendliness, but we don’t have a lot of information on what he’s been used to – he's not lived with children, so no kids under age 10 for this guy. And he’s not lived with cats (will chase bunnies, and probably cats too), and seems to be friends with the neighbor dog through the fence, but, like a shelter stray, we don’t know much about how he is with other animals. The family member has a neighbor with cows, and Buddy is friendly with one of them, licking her face through the wire fence. He seems to be well-rounded and social, with a friendly, confident personality. His caretaker says “I think he just wants to be friends with everything and everyone.”

Washington State – no interstate transports. Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and BC adopters will be considered.

Meet Boskoe! This fella is 4 years old (will be 5 in November) and in need of a home. He was left by a roommate with the person who’s been caring for him for most of his life, but they are no longer able to care for Boskoe.

I haven’t met Boskoe in person yet (he lives in Portland with his guardian), but am told he’s a playful boy who loves going for walks, chewing on sticks and pine cones, playing with toys (tug of war is a favorite game!), cudding, naps, looking out the window, car rides, and spending time with people. He can be a little fearful/frightened of new people that he hasn’t met and may bark at them, but I’m told he warms up quickly and enjoys attention from them.

Boskoe is house trained and has some obedience (sit, come, down) and is good on leash (although he’s afraid of bicycles that pass him). He is good with other dogs and likes to play but has not lived with a cat. He’s been exposed to livestock (goats, chickens) on visits to a family member’s home, and has been fine with them (curious about them). He hasn’t lived with children, but when he’s met kids he’s been gentle and curious. He is not neutered yet and has a retained/undescended testicle, so his neuter surgery will be a little more involved than is normal https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/retained-testicle-cryptorchidism-in-dogs

Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and BC adopters will be considered – no interstate transports.

Dogs helped Army veteran Renice Zimmerman cope with the death of her husband. Now she’s paying it forward to other military families with the breed he loved.
