Adopt Ella the cat, give her a home for the holidays

Ella is a very sweet cat. She was surrendered to the shelter because her owner was downsizing and didn’t have the ability to care for her. Ella is very loving and wants to be near you all the time. She enjoys being petted and loves playing with a few toys. She has taken time getting used to the other big and small dogs in her foster home but after a week, she is finally brave enough to be in their presence. Ella would be a great cat for someone who can give her lots of love and affection. She deserves that special loving family who will open their hearts and home to her in her elder years.

Ella found herself in the Pierce County Humane Society. She was surrendered by her owner. PUP was asked to help and we are so glad we did. Ella is spayed, microchipped, and received a dental. She is current on her vaccinations. She has been flea treated. Ella has a heart murmur http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&A=2515  and may be in the first stage of kidney failure.

Help Kaia the German Shepherd find a home in Seattle

Kaia the 2-year-old German Shepherd mix is looking for a forever home. Her foster family says “she is a sweetheart to all that greet her, men, women, and even older children” –how can you resist? Take a peek at her adoption profile!

Kaia has been living with one of our foster families on their small farm, and this is what they have to say about her:

Kaia enjoys lounging in the house on her pillow while chewing on an elk antler or playing with her favorite stuffed animal snake toy! She frequently brings the toy over to her foster and drops it at her feet to play. She also enjoys chasing balls in the yard! This girl is a keeper and will make a wonderful companion to someone or a family that will step up and lead her just as all dogs do!

Kaia comes from an overcrowded shelter in California. She is spayed and microchipped and current on her DHPP, Rabies, and bordetella. She tested negative for heartworm and has been wormed and flea treated.

Kaia loves going on car rides and hops up easily into the car and into her crate. She is well-mannered indoors. Like all dogs, she will need to have clear boundaries and a consistent routine established in her new adoptive home. She is highly intelligent and responds very well to a quick “No” and correction. She knows a few basic commands like “Sit”, “Come”, “Down” and “Kennel” and will flourish with an owner that can be a leader that will continue with her training, routine, and structure.

We recently had Kaia evaluated by a K9 trainer we work with. He said this dog is smart, a quick learner, very responsive, a great dog. He also said he could have her fully obedience trained in a weekend. We watched him with her for a 10 minute lesson. Beautiful! It was great to watch Kaia be so responsive to who she knew to be a leader. This dog kenneled, sat, downed, and walked beautifully on a loose leash. She wants to please and she wants a leader as all dogs do. Kaia has pushed up against and jumped up on her foster so her foster is working on firming up those boundaries with her.

If you think you have room in your home and heart for Kaia and you reside within Washington State, please go to our Adoption Information page. There you will find more information and be able to fill out an adoption application.

Adopt Cosmo, our Valentines’ Day PUP!

As part of the Valentines’ Day holiday, we’ll be blogging about 1 dog each day until the big day!

Cosmo is a tiny bundle of energy. But, he is a real lap dog for sure! He is a little shy with new people at first, but warms up quickly after a proper introduction and is your best friend. He loves to run and play and jump and give kisses. He plays very nicely with other submissive dogs, but is fearful of more dominant dogs. He enjoys playing with squeaky toys and fetching the ball. He loves to go for walks and does great riding in the car. He is working on crate trained and house trained if kept on a schedule. Cosmo is vocal when he hears other dogs barking or sees other dogs or people out walking. He is learning how to be more quiet and is very good when told ‘no’. He needs training, but also seems very eager to please his people and quick to learn new things. He is very lovable with his people and would do well in an active household. He is a real sweet cuddly boy that wants to be with and please his people, and he will make a wonderful companion!

Cosmo is neutered and microchipped. He is current on his DHPP, Rabies, and bordetella. He tested negative for heartworm and has been wormed and flea treated. Cosmo comes from an overcrowded shelter in California. PUP was asked to help and we are so glad we did. All dogs PUP pulls from California come with health certificates, as required by Washington State.

Rainey the Yorkie mix needs a sweetheart to adopt her!

As part of the Valentines’ Day holiday, we’ll be blogging about 1 dog each day until the big day!

Rainey came to us as a fearful puppy who had not been socialized. The shelter called her feral. She spent a couple months in foster care in CA before coming up and has been with us for about a month. Rainey is tentative and careful with people, and she will shy away from your hand if you reach for her. If you let Rainey come to you instead, she gets braver and will climb right into your lap. The more we get Rainey to play with us, the more she forgets to be nervous and just acts like a puppy.

She is full of curiosity and is very playful and happy. Her tail is always up and wagging. Rainey does okay with the cats and doesn’t try to hurt them, but will bark at them. Because Rainey is more confident and less scared when with another dog, she would do best in a home with a dog buddy. Her new family will need to be committed to socializing her with a number of people to help her get over her fear. Rainey is potty trained on a regular schedule. She has had no accidents indoors and is happy to run outside with the other dogs. She is also crate trained and quiet in her crate unless she needs something such as to go potty. She is still in the puppy chewing stage so puppy-proofing our home was a must. Putting things up and out of harm’s way and providing lots of chew toys is important. This will keep herself and the items safe. Rainey is not leash trained but is trying to be brave and learn. She is smart and adorable! One look at this girl and she will steal your heart! Raising a puppy requires a lot of work and is a commitment! Rainey will be an awesome addition to a family that can give her the attention, exercise, training and affection she deserves.

Rainey comes from an overcrowded shelter in California. PUP was asked to help and we are so glad we did. All dogs PUP pulls from California come with health certificates, as required by Washington State. Rainey is spayed and microchipped. She is current on her DHPP, Rabies, and bordetella. She and has been wormed and flea treated.

Thalia the Chihuahua…just might be ‘the one!’

As part of the Valentines’ Day holiday, we’ll be blogging about 1 dog each day until the big day!

Thalia is a SWEETHEART and such an EASY KEEPER! She is a beautiful, happy little dog. She may be a little shy and slow to warm up, but she becomes more interactive as she begins to relax. It did not take long for her to attach to her foster mom, so we are confident she will adjust quickly in her new home as well. When she is not wrestling with her foster brothers & sisters, she can be found tucked into a lap and cuddling with her person. Petting and conversation are very high on her favorites list. When in a stressful situation or in the company of small children (under the age of 10), Thalia chooses to leave the area rather, or hide behind her person, than become acquainted. She learns quickly and enjoys rewards in the form praise and, of course, tasty treats. She does greet visitors and family members with her wagging tail and bright face. Strangers are sometimes met with a bark until she is sure her person knows the stranger. Thalia has good leash skills and enjoys walks on sunny days. She would most likely do best in a quiet but active family with no very small children. This little beauty wants to go home to her forever family and she’ll repay them with her love and loyalty! Thalia is spayed and microchipped.

Thalia comes from an overcrowded shelter in California. PUP was asked to help and we are so glad we did. All dogs PUP pulls from California come with health certificates, as required by Washington State. She is current on her DHPP, Rabies, and bordetella. She tested negative for heartworm and has been wormed and flea treated. She was attacked by a large dog at the shelter and received staples for her bite wounds.

Dano the Pomeranian wants to be your cupid!

As part of the Valentines’ Day holiday, we’ll be blogging about 1 dog each day until the big day!

Dano is such a happy furry ball of fluff! Dano greets you in the morning and evening with such enthusiasm. Dano is always up for a walk rain or shine. Heads out with his tail held high waving back and forth. He is friendly at greeting other dogs on the walk and walks well on an extended leash. Dano will walk beside you or head out to explore new smells. He doesn’t pull or tug on the leash.

At home, Dano tends to just want to be with you and loves nothing better then to sit next to you on the couch and receive tummy rubs or just cuddle with you. Dano will jump on you to get attention when he gets excited and also may mouth you. We are working on ‘off’. He is a fast learner and now knows to sit while waiting to be leashed up. Dano has been around all ages of children from 5 to 19. Dano may tend to be cautious when meeting someone new, but then is very accepting. Anyone can win him over with a tummy rub. Dano is not a big barker, except when crated. Outside the crate, Dano is only an alert barker. Dano has been such a joy to our household. Though still young, Dano is a calm fluff ball.

Dano comes from an overcrowded shelter in California. PUP was asked to help and we are so glad we did. All dogs PUP pulls from California come with health certificates, as required by Washington State. Dano is neutered and microchipped. He is current on his DHPP, Rabies, and bordetella. He tested negative for heartworm and has been wormed and flea treated.

Max the Pomeranian seeks a family with a special heart

Max is an owner release and when PUP was asked to help find him a home we were SO glad to help! He is happy, active and curious about his surroundings. He has excellent social skills and really enjoys the company of dogs and people. His manners are exquisite in the house, in the car and on walks and, in fact, walks with Max are a pure joy. His hair is growing out into a lovely coat with actually only minimal restoration effort with good quality shampoos and daily brushing.

Every once in a while, he surprises his foster mom with a new trick he’s be hiding from her that he learned in his past. He loves toys and will carry his current favorite around, offering to share with his people. If being cute, sweet and very much in tune with folks around him, Max is the pick of the year!

Max is also diabetic and was diagnosed early and has it well controlled with daily insulin injections. He will actually expect his shots and is a good sport! He has a limp which has been examined by a vet and does not require medical treatment, and it doesn’t slow him down from racing over the rocks in his foster mom’s yard!

He is waiting to make some very lucky family complete. To learn more about Max and the adoption process please visit Max’s Petfinder profile or contact PUP Dog Rescue at info@peopleunitedforpets.com. Max is currently residing in the Seattle area.
