HADES is watching or his new family to come pick him up?  Can you open your heart and home to him? HADES is a sweet and gentle boy who thrives on attention from his humans.   Don't let his looks fool you, he may look more like a cattle dog, but he has the personality of a Malamute! Recently HADES lived in an apartment, but he prefers the quiet country life and is not used to the loud city experiences.  He is Ok with several short walks each day, but a nice scenic walk or hike makes him very happy.  A car ride with the windows cracked is always a great way to start an adventure. HADES knows many commands.  Basic commands like "sit", "down" and "stay".  Loving commands "hug", "kiss" and "cuddle" and fun commands like "dance" and "go through" where he will run through your legs like a tunnel.  He has a large vocabulary that you will enjoy playing with him for hours. Despite his age, he still has a lot of puppy energy and does get along with large dogs.  He may be fine living with another dog, but also would be happy as the only dog in the house, so that he does not need to share his quality time with his human. HADES is currently living with a loving foster family.  He would love his future furever home to be a quiet, relaxing environment for him where he can play, share your bed and feel like he is your number 1 prio...

NICOLE is an energetic girl who loves playing with toys and her sister, DAKOTA.  When you first meet NICOLE she will run to greet you becase she loves to meet people, especially if she receives pets and attention.  She would enjoy a nice yard to feel safe in, but is perfectly happy being indoors or going on car rides with you.  She knows some commands like "sit", "lay" and "shake".   NICOLE and DAKOTA are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together.  They both will excel in a furever home that will spoil them making them feel like princesses. She is currently living at our Malley Valley resort, socializing with other dogs and our volunteers.

MAGGIE  loves people and craves attention!  She prefers to be an only fur baby and queen of her home. She has a  typical Malamute personality, a very sweet girl but also likes to be independent and aloof when the mood strikes.     She enjoys being with her human pack where she can be pet all over, get belly rubs and cuddles. MAGGIE likes to walk several times a day checking out the neighborhood.    She is good in the car and will be happy to join you on all of your adventures!  She has done well with older kids, though does like to put her paws up on people, which is why it is best that she is not with small children. Her dream home would be a big fenced yard to relax in and enjoy some quiet time.  But also be inside where she can keep an eye on her family and lounge around, knowing her people are safe.

Kit has been coming out of her shell more and more, and absolutely LOVES to play!  We can hardly go anywhere in the enclosure without Kit being underfoot. If we sit down with anything sticking out of our pockets; cell phone, wallet, work gloves, you name it, if she thinks she can possibly steal it, she’ll try her darnedest to do exactly that. Not because she needs (or even really wants) the item she’s trying to steal. No, it’s because she gets an absolute thrill out of the ensuing chase to retrieve whatever she’s pilfered.  Despite all the challenges she’s been through in her short life, Kit strives only to be the life of the party, and spreads her exuberance to the rest of the pack on a daily basis as if it’s her vocation.  Kit will need an energetic owner with a solid sense of humor who can keep up with antics. She is loaded with personality and has earned the nickname "Squirrel Girl" because she's always up to something goofy! She’s truly a joy to watch! We just received KIT BELLEW and not had a chance to evaluate her fully yet.  Stay tuned for more details.

She’s the smaller of the two girls in the litter but don’t let that fool you, she’s super smart, and loves a fun adventure outside . RIVER is in process of learning basic commands and house training. Her weight is as of May 22nd and she is growing a few pounds a week.    

Please meet the incredible Yellow! This sweet, calm, loving, very special boy is looking for his forever home. He was being given away for free as his owners had no time for him, and he was facing euthanasia quickly if he didn’t find placement. Luckily, a good samaritan was able to find an incredible urgent foster home where he is safe and currently getting settled in.   He is almost 3 years old, around 90 pounds, vaccinated, neutered and we think he’s malamute mix given his size and temperament. He adores children! He absolutely should not be around chickens, and we are giving him some time to settle in until we cat and dog test him. We feel that he’d likely love a dog playmate or two, but cats may be a bit too much to ask with how fun they can be to chase.    He’s located in Olympia, WA and would love to meet his new forever family!  If you would like to learn more about YELLOW please call or text 360-951-6460.    IMPORTANT - Please Note:  YELLOW is being listed as a courtesy.

Pup of the week award goes to Yukon, who has REALLY been making leaps and bounds in his socialization journey these last few days!  He’s become a completely different dog from the shy, laid-back loner he was when he first arrived, and is now coming into his own as a playful, outgoing goofball with a dignified air about him that comes across as nearly regal. Yukon has shown us that he’s no longer Mr. Shy Guy.  Yukon has not only found his confidence - he’s also found his voice! And it’s a LOUD one indeed! We’re incredibly proud of our boy nevertheless. We have just received YUKON and not had a chance to fully evaluate him yet.  Stay tuned for an update.
