Story
Meet Tiramisu! Tiramisu is a sweet little guy who might be a bit shy at first, but once he warms up, he’s all about love and cuddles. He’s doing great with kennel training at night and is working on potty pad training—he’s getting there! He’s also learning basic commands like “sit,” “down,” and “leave it” (he’s still little, so we’re taking our time). This playful pup adores other dogs and is absolutely smitten with people and kids. He’s always up for a good game of tug-of-war, and if you have a squeaky toy, you’ve just made a best friend for life. If you’re looking for a loving, fun, and eager-to-learn companion, Tiramisu is your guy!

Story
Maizy Grace is the sweetest pup! She was found in December on the side of the road after having puppies. We took her in to heal and provided her with what she needed. She is fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She roams the house during the day and night. She has been kennel trained as well and knows that it's a safe place. She gets along great with other dogs, adults, and young children. Maizy is such a joy to be around. She's been taught to sit before eating her meals and knows "sit" as a command. She does well on a leash and LOVES her daily walks. She is the best cuddle companion and will sit/lay with you when you're sad, being lazy, or while watching a movie. With a little patience and training, she'll be the best companion for hiking. She is the 5th dog in our family. We did not intend to keep her for a long period of time. It is becoming difficult to manage all the furbabies. She deserves a home that will spoil her rotten.

Story
Hi, my name is Scooby and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Mar 11, 2025. I might be a little shy when meeting new people, but once I warm up, I’ll be your most devoted companion. Whether we’re hanging out at home or heading out for a walk—be ready for some enthusiastic squirrel watching!I have a talent for sniffing out treats—no Scooby Snacks required. I love nose training! Structure and consistency help me thrive, so I’m looking for a home with adults or older teens who can keep up with my training.

Story
Hi there! My name is Duke and I am ready to find my new forever home!I`m a busy boy with a lot of energy! I`m very active and would enjoy a lifestyle with a lot of time outdoors exercising. I`m extremely food motivated and pretty smart too so teaching me new tricks and manners should be a breeze. I can be a bit jumpy so I might overwhelmed small children or people without much dog experience. I weigh 51lbs and am considered a large breed dog. My personality color is RED. I am a spirited dog with a fun-loving personality! I am still working on my manners, so I would do best with a family who is willing to work with me and help me become the best dog I can be!

Story
Hello! My name is Lyka. I came to RASKC originally as a stray. I was adopted four months ago but recently returned due to my adopter moving. I am a ball of energy and a barrel of monkeys! I love to go, go, go and will appreciate a family that has the time and patience for a very active dog. Even though I`m a year old I still behave a lot like a puppy and am working on my manners. I previously lived in an adult only home and did well. I have not had much exposure to kids but my exurberant nature means I am most likely to succeed if the children are older and dog-savvy. I have been to playgroup while at RASKC and seem to enjoy the company of other large, respectful dogs. My playstyle is more on the dainty side and I prefer dogs who want to run around together rather than roughhouse. I am 68lbs and considered a large breed dog dog. I am a spirited dog with a fun-loving personality! I am still working on my manners, so I would do best with a family who is willing to work with me and help me become the best dog I can be!

These pups are in Tacoma, Washington too!

Biggie is approximately 3 years old, he is a sweet boy with lots of energy. He is very strong so although he is not aggressive he is not a good fit for families with small children or babies. Biggie needs a fenced in yard where he can run around when you are not home. Biggie goes potty outside. He is very lovable and needs lots of attention, so if you are home a lot he may be the right pup for you!
