What have we here?
Meet Oogie Boogie! Oogie Boogie is in a foster home in Spokane, WA and can be transported to your area (see information below in the “Adopting from Path of Hope Rescue” section).
“I’m gonna do the best I can”, says Oogie Boogie in the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, and our pup embodies that spirit. Born on October 25, 2024, gentle Oogie Boogie is a young fawn and gray colored puppy with darker muzzle markings. We guess he is a labrador mix who will be in the 40-60 lb. range when grown (mama is quite petite). Part of the Nightmare Before Christmas litter, he traveled with his mom and four siblings from the Del Rio Animal Shelter in Texas to find new homes in the PNW area.
Adventurous, active Oogie Boogie has a lot to say and a lot to do! This friendly pup has done well with other dogs, kids and cats; he’s an all-around excellent companion. Oogie Boogie loves playing tug of war with another dog or a human; if there is no one to play with, he will amuse himself by stalking and bravely pouncing on his toys. Toys are very popular with this charming puppy, with rope toys his favorite (you can chew on them AND tug on them!). After a bout of rambunctious romping, affectionate Oogie Boogie likes nothing better than to snuggle up with you for a nap. He likes to show his appreciation for your company with kisses and sweet little squeaky noises. While Oogie Boogie can be independent and eager to explore on his own, this little sweetheart cherishes having people in his life.
Oogie Boogie has started potty training and spends several hours at a time in his crate. He will begin leash and obedience training shortly. He’s a smart little guy, and he quickly learned to sit before his meals. Oogie Boogie is spending his days getting lots of cuddles, playtime, love, and new adventures with his foster family while growing into a healthy, active, affectionate pup ready for his new home.
Oogie Boogie’s ideal home? He seeks someone to love who will love him in return and will ensure he learns the skills that will make him a happy and well-rounded dog. Oogie Boogie would do well in a home with kids, dogs, and cats; lots of cuddles, play, and activity would make him the happiest of pups. Does this sound like your home?

- Our Minimum Adoption Donation is $550 for puppies under a year and $450 for dogs a year and older. We are a WA state registered non-profit and rely heavily on adoption donations to cover the expenses associated with saving lives. Our dogs are spayed/neutered prior to adoption; microchipped with free lifetime registration; and up to date on DAPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccinations (when age appropriate) and deworming and heartworm treatment/prevention. Adopters can also earn a $100 training refund if they attend (6) hours of any in person training course.

About Path of Hope Rescue
- At Path of Hope Rescue, our goal is to make EVERY DOG. WANTED. Our two employees and army of volunteers focus on transporting pregnant dogs and puppies from Texas, the number one kill state in America. The dogs we rescue are in poor living conditions and on euthanasia lists in shelters that are inundated with unwanted animals. We want to give these dogs a chance and bring them to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive, loving homes.
- We are 100% foster based; our dogs are fostered in loving homes where they are house and crate trained and learn basic obedience and leash skills. Dogs experience socialization opportunities with people, places, and other animals, and they receive the attention required to become well-rounded, healthy, and affectionate dogs that they would not otherwise receive in a shelter environment.
- Our commitment does not end when the dog is adopted. Path of Hope offers post adoption owner support including information on making the dog’s transition to your home a smooth one; recommendations for Preferred Trainers; advice on pet behavior and wellness topics; Facebook litter groups to keep in touch with fellow adopters; and invitations to local rescue hosted events.
