The Details:

Browse all our dogs up for adoption on Petfinder and load up the car (your furry friends too!) and come on down!  If you’re interested in a specific dog, please fill out an application now for pre-approval and contact us to ensure the dog will be there. An approved APPLICATION will be required prior to taking your new dog home. Please feel free to send an application in today and we will process it as soon as possible. Although you will also have the opportunity to fill out an application at the event, you will need preapproval to complete an adoption.

If you already have an approved application on file with PUP, please email our adoption coordinator Trish, to let her know which dog you are interested in meeting so she can schedule a meeting time.

 

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.

• Male Miniature Poodle mix

• House trained if kept on a schedule

If you think you have room in your home and heart for this dog 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. See his Petfinder profile here http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/21760137.

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.
