Australian Kelpie puppies and dogs in Port Townsend, Washington

Animal Profile: Carrot is a now 18-month-old 40 lb spayed female Kelpie. She was acquired by a family for their autistic child as a service dog. They soon realized they didn't have the financial or other capacity for necessary training and surrendered her to the rural Los Banos shelter, where she was euthanasia listed for space. She was assessed to be friendly and social with people and dogs. Foster Update:  Carrot could be mistaken for “Gossip” the Australian show “Muster Dogs” – she is a smart, vocal, energetic dog. She’s very friendly when meeting new people and other medium to large dogs. She has high energy and loves to zoom around the yard on her own or with her dog friends. Carrot is an active dog, who regularly walks 3-7 miles a day. She likes her toys, tug of war, catching or chasing a ball–for a limited time– and doesn’t destroy toys. Carrot has an independent streak, and her job is often to herd her humans – if someone gets up to make coffee, she will wake up the others to join in the kitchen. We have worked to moderate some of the nipping behaviors common with the breed, which tends to happen if she is overstimulated, but can be redirected. She is ok on leash but has a high prey drive when it comes to cats, rabbits, squirrels. She has some leash mild reactivity toward some dogs and cyclists, but she is treat-motivated, and she is starting to mind her own business on walks. Carrot is crate trained and also enjoys dog beds. She likes to be near her humans and will lay down or play with one of her toys; she can be just as calm and sweet as she can be energetic and a punk. She is completely housebroken and will tell you when she needs to go outside. Carrot is ok with calmer kids of any age; she is not good with cats, small dogs. Apartments are ok but Carrot will need lots of outdoor walks; a home with a fenced yard is ideal since Carrot is an escape artist and will hunt down smaller animals. Carrot would do best with someone who works from home or can find regular care with people and dogs she knows. She would do great with a canine playmate that can match her energy and a person/people that can continue to provide exercise, routine, and more training to be her best self. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, microchip with registration, and health certificate. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. All adoption fees go toward the care of all dogs in our rescue.  Apply Online: www.DogGoneSeattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog was rescued from Los Banos shelter where she was euth listed for space. She arrived to foster care in Seattle on 5/21/23 and has been fostered in the greater Seattle area since. She is currently available for adoption. August 19, 2024, 12:18 am

I don't need constant attention, but I'll take as much as you want to give.I can be a bit shy when we first meet but I warm up quickly and then we are best friends.I am still a young girl who is very curious and learning new things all the time. I getting pretty good at walking on a leash without pulling - and with your help I'm sure I'll be perfect soon! And did I mention I love treats? I already know how to sit for a treat. Being food motivated makes me easy to train. I get along great with most dogs after we are introduced, but I can be a bit vocal with dogs that I don’t know. Once we are introduced, we're good friends. In fact, I go for walks on our La Paz Malecon every Wednesday just so I can meet new dogs and people and be a social girl. If you like an all-around great dog - who has energy to play when you are ready, will chill and lay at your feet while you work, and be ready for cuddles when it's time -- I'm definitely the girl for you.If you think we could have a happy life together, then just click on the "Apply to Adopt" button.

Welcome Dixie to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 9-month old Smooth Coated Collie/Kelpie is our best guess on breed. She weighs 50 pounds. She is very very loyal to her people and would be great with someone wanting a dog to go with you places or if you work from home and want a loyal partner. She is crate trained, potty trained, good on a leash and good in a car. She was found as a stray and her foster mom has been putting this girl through dog training. She is doing really good in her classes and is learning some more basic commands. She is a higher energy dog and would be great for a runner, jogger or hiker type person. She is lower on the shed scale. She has a lot of personality and would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Her best home would be with a fenced yard. She could run and play off some energy. She likes you to be outside with her as she wants to be around her family over exploring the yard all along without you. She would be fine with children as well. We like them to be 8 or older. She is up on her vaccinations, spayed and ready for her forever home. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland(Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. We can put you in touch with her foster mom after you put in and get your application approved. We can also set up a meet and greet if you are local in Texas. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org/ See her cute video.

Statistics show that there are over 1 million homeless animals in this region alone. Three Little Pitties Rescue is a nonprofit dog and cat rescue that partners with the community to make a difference. Our mission is to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and saving all breeds of dogs and cats from the streets or animal shelters that oftentimes have no other option but to euthanize animals for space. This dog you’ve found online is lucky to be in our program, and even luckier to have you notice it! Three Little Pitties wants to set you and your new pet up for success! We know our dogs and we work hard to prepare them socially for adoption. We are a network of dedicated people who are heavily invested in seeing our animals thrive. From the moment they are accepted into our program, our Intake, Behavior & Medical teams prepare them for adoption by properly vetting, behaviorally assessing, and providing customized plans depending on the dog’s needs. We seek to adopt to families who understand that these are rescue dogs and will require continued training efforts, but will be well on their way to being the best dogs that they can be! It doesn’t stop there! Our adopters also receive these special perks: • 30 day trial of pet insurance with Trupanion (must register within 24 hours of first vet appt.) • A free private online dog training session with GoodPup plus low pricing for future sessions (approx $25 weekly for an 8 week course of one session per week) • One free bonus toy in every BarkBox when signing up for their Super Chewer subscription plan • 70% off of your first order of Fetch, a PNW based, organic fresh dog food loaf meal subscription plan • Coupons for a fun visit to Petco • Access to our exclusive FB Adopters page, where you can network for play dates, resources, and connect with other adopters that share their passion for their adopted pup!
