Story
Hi, my name is Kitara and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Jan 25, 2025. New people and places can be a little scary sometimes, but when I warm up you’ll see my personality bloom! I know that with you by my side, you’ll see my confidence grow every day. I would love to go through life with you as my person!If I could have the perfect day, it would involve a casual stroll with you, overseeing meal prep in the kitchen, and then curling up at your feet. I’m the perfect little shadow! I want to be where you are, do what you’re doing, and be the perfect companion.

Story
Hi, my name is Pippin and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Dec 16, 2024. I’m ready to run the extra mile for you, literally! I have an always-on-the-go kind of attitude. I absolutely love spending time playing and exploring and making the most out of my day. Need someone to be your running buddy or hiking pal? I’m your pup! Learning new tricks and exercising my brain are my absolute favorite things to do! The only way it could be any better would be if I could learn things with you. We could show off new, fun tricks together and be the coolest pair ever!

Story
In foster in Olympia, WA https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ Please apply to adopt. This works with all the dogs posted the above link to apply to adopt. ARIEL is a 33# Shepherd? type mix. Maybe she has any of these in her? Schipperke and/or Pomeranian and/or Shiba Inu and /or Australian Kelpie? She certainly looks like she does! We do not know! She is adorable and looks like a darker longer legged fox in many ways. She is for us, super quiet, will potty on the leash and YES potty trained!. However, she is shy at first, so hopefully a quieter home, that is suburban or rural. At this time we cannot YET see her with younger children (too noisy) or in an apartment in a noisy place because she is still shy. Maybe a quieter apartment NOT surrounded by a lot of noise could work for her? In time we are certain she will blossom and come into her own and act like any other dog. It just takes time, love, patience and appropriate socialization. DOB 1/1/24. That is an estimate. She was found as a stray in San Antonio, Texas. Texas has MILLIONS and MILLIONS of strays :( She is active and happy weighing only 33#. She needs loving and some training although she has never had any potty accident in her foster home in Olympia, WA! . She is smart and happy to meet people. She is used to being in the house and did great with the other dogs in rescue. . She also left the cats alone when she was in rescue in TX… but if they ran I’m sure she would chase. She seems happy to see all people, though. She's doing great with her leash training. Ariel likely could keep up with going on hikes and roughing it on a camping trip. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention.
