In the shelter’s words
Meet Ryan! You can't help but fall in love with Ryan! Ryan is charming, sweet, a little unconventional, and somehow still everyone's favorite guy in the room. Ryan is a 5-year-old, 60-lb mixed-breed dog. Ryan knows his basic commands and genuinely enjoys learning, especially when food is involved (and yes, he will happily beg for a bite or two). Walks are one of his greatest joys because every outing feels like a brand-new adventure. Familiar routes? Still exciting. New smells? Oscar-worthy. He is playful, affectionate, and also perfectly capable of entertaining himself. He loves to run in the yard, have bursts of play and then, when his brain needs a break, he will head straight to his crate for a nap. His crate is his safe space, and he chooses it willingly. He sleeps there at night and uses it to decompress when he feels overstimulated. Ryan has a mild neurological deficit and can struggle to read other dog's body language. He can become overstimulated more easily than most, which is why he would do best in a calm, predictable home without young children, cats, or other dogs. While he can coexist with another dog, it would need to be a very specific match - one that respects his boundaries and lets him lead when he wants to play or be left alone. Ryan is housebroken, crate trained, and happiest when he is included in family life, lounging nearby, tagging along, or settling in for a cuddle. And cuddles? He's absolutely in. He may forget what happened five minutes ago, but he never forgets how much he loves his people. Much like his namesake, Ryan Reynolds is endlessly lovable, a little quirky, and proof that even with a few extra challenges, you can still steal the show. He's very loving and affectionate, a great companion, easygoing with his day-to-day, loves a routine. Ryan is vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $295

Plan a visit with the source organization
We pull dogs from kill shelters and place them with fosters or trial adopters. All adoptions have 2 week trial. Adoption donation is made after trial period and certificate of ownership is issued. We also bring animals from owner surrenders into our organization so that they never enter the shelter system. We check references for all applicants and complete home checks. A great deal of our dogs are transported from CA to Seattle once we have found a foster or trial for them.
