Dogs die. But before they do, they live ❤️

They live brave, beautiful lives. They protect their families with unwavering loyalty. They love us with a fierceness that knows no bounds. They fill our days with joy, our homes with warmth, and our hearts with light.

Dogs don’t waste time worrying about tomorrow. They live fully in the moment—chasing balls, napping in sunbeams, and wagging their tails at the simple sound of our voices. They teach us how to love without conditions and how to find happiness in the little things.

So yes, dogs die. But before they do, they give us everything they have. And that’s why their love stays with us long after they’re gone.

Here’s to the dogs who live bravely, love deeply, and leave paw prints on our hearts forever. 🐾💖

We have someone looking to provide a great home for a toy or miniature poodle. Anyone know of any good breeders?

One of our clients has been fostering a litter of puppies. There is one left!!

"Carter is a rescue from Eastern Washington. He is 3.5 months old and weighs 17 lbs. Parents are Heeler/Shepherd mixes, no dna has been done. He estimated to be 40-50lbs

This playful little guy has a heart full of love and an endless supply of energy. He absolutely enjoys playing and trying to keep up with his big foster brothers! Carter is doing great at potty and crate training. He is also learning the basic commands of sit, come, down and stay. If you're looking for a cute pup who is playful, smart, and eager to learn, Carter is the pup for you! Come meet him and see if he steals your heart."

For questions you can find his foster's contact information in the comments or To apply for adoption:https://casadog.org/dogs

Courtesy Post:

"Justice (female purebred GSD) will be 4 on April 26. She is very high energy, loves lots of walks, toys, and attention. She is very protective, so the doorbell, visitors and the Amazon delivery person will always be greeted with lots of excitement and barking. She has never been around any other animals or small children and wasn’t socialized her first year.

She has had all her shots, spayed, and has never had an accident inside the house. She is a creature of habit, wicked smart, very curious, and 100% attentive. She is between 80-90 lbs. She loves to chase balls in my fenced in yard and is very fast, she never tires."
Contact: [email protected]

**Best as the only pet in home and no children. Experienced GSD owner and training is STRONGLY encouraged to help in transition. She has already completed the 10 lesson program at Canyon Crest but will need someone with the time and skills to work with her.**

UPDATE-- Finn has found a new home!!

COURTESY POST PLEASE SHARE:
Finn (3/17/2020, 40lb, neutered, microchipped, UTD on shots, Purebred Australian Shep) has a big personality and loves people. He thrives when he is outside hiking, playing frisbee or pushing around his herding ball. He loves his toys and prefers them over treats. He has completed Obedience training at Canyon Crest. He is completely potty trained. He is NOT crate trained but has never been destructive while sleeping or away. He is a Velcro dog and loves to go where his person goes. He struggles with the process of leaving - shoes, keys, jackets, door, etc.) and will bark while the leaving process is started and for a very short time once you leave and he goes to sleep after a few minutes. He is very high energy and anxious like most Aussies and his anxiousness was better when his needs were getting met with exercise.
He would do best at a farm or a home with some land where he can roam and have freedom outside. He needs a job and someone with time to spend with him. Obedience training is strongly suggested to ease the transition. Someone with breed or herding dog experience preferred. He does well with children but would do best in a home without or older children only. While he’s been around other animals and adjusts, he’d likely prefer being the only pet.

Update ~ We took them, they're safe. 💙

This is why Pierce County has so many "lost" dogs. Our volunteer is currently at the Humane Society where this gentleman was trying to surrender his two dogs. He has recently become homeless and living in his car and the windows were broken out last night. The dogs aren't safe, they haven't eaten in two days, and he needs a solution. The shelter was unable to accept them. Instead, he shared with our volunteer his plan was to take them to a dog park and set them free. 💔
They are two brothers, vaccinated amd microchipped we are told, and they have no where to go.

We are scrambling to come up with an emergent short term solution but our hearts break with this entire scenario. Please email us if you can help, hold them until surrendering to the shelter is arranged. [email protected]

We are so sorry boys, so so sorry. 😖
