Benny

🧸 Meet Benny – Your Real-Life Teddy Bear 🧸

About 2 Years Old • Male • Dog  Friendly • Gentle & Loving Soul

Benny is basically a living teddy bear—sweet, soft, and made to be loved. He was rescued from the shelter with help from a foster sponsor and our rescue, A Dog Named Black Jack, after landing on the euthanasia list just for having the sniffles and not eating. Truth is, he was probably just heartbroken. Once he got into his foster home, he started eating, cuddling, and slowly came back to life.

✨ Quick Facts:• Approx. 2 years old• Neuter appointment upcoming (included in adoption fee)• Up-to-date on vaccinations• Recovered from kennel cough and gaining healthy weight• Non-reactive to dogs,  or surroundings• Extremely affectionate—especially with his person

Benny is the definition of gentle. When his handler sits near him, he’ll quietly place his head on them or lift a paw to ask for affection. Despite his rough start, he trusts deeply and gives his whole heart.

🐾 Why Benny is So Special:• Incredibly calm and loving nature
• No signs of aggression or fear—just love and loyalty
• Beautiful cream coat with big orange spots
• Striking amber eyes that gaze straight into your soul
• A true cuddle companion who will make any house feel like home

Benny is fostered in a safe and loving environment and is doing great. He is available for in-person or video meet-and-greets, and we’re excited to help him find his perfect forever home.


Qiqi

Qiqi is looking for a home where he will get lots of walks, good food, and lots of love. He is getting along with his foster brother and sisters, but he was introduced slowly.  At about 2 years old and 85lbs, he looks forward to a home that can give him attention and exercise. Like all German Shepherd dogs, he prefers to be with his owner all the time and if he is left alone for a short while, he will be super excited to see you again. Qiqi knows a couple commands such as sit, paw, and lay and looks forward to his chicken treats that he loves. Playing ball with Qiqi is still a work in progress, because he goes after the ball without a problem. He loves playing in his kiddie pool when it is shower time and enjoys playing with the water.  He was left at a shelter by his family and rescued by us. He has begun to trust humans again and is such a loving companion!

Mimi-Roo

Mimi-Roo is a gentle soul who thrives with a confident handler. She is very smart and in tune with her surroundings. She is a medium size & medium energy dog, just as happy to hang out with you as she is to go explore on walks. She has a beautiful reddish brown coat and the unique Rhodesian look. She loves the outdoors and a great car traveler. She is good with other dogs when introduced properly and seems to not react to cats. Independent, majestic, and with a serious demeanor as the breed is known for, she is really special! 

Benito

Neutered Male Shina mix.

 Are you searching for your furry soulmate? I think I might be your guy. 

My name is Benito, but my foster Mom calls me Benny. I’m reddish blonde, brown eyed with a very athletic build. I’m about 50lbs of pure energy & joy. I love long walks in the woods, playing catch and romantic nights snuggling on the couch watching movies with my person. My foster mom says that I’m a perfect roommate. I never tear anything up or make a mess when left in the house alone. I love when my person is home, but I’m also quite content with my own company while you are away. I’ve enjoyed my time on a rural property with my foster Mom, but due to my high prey drive, I’m tempted by cats, rabbits, squirrels and especially chickens. And sorry, small children make me nervous. I really don’t need a large yard & can easily live in an apartment as long as we get to go on daily walks. 

My go bag is packed with all my stuffies, balls, and a fancy halter. I have my own bed, but love to curl up next to my person when allowed. Lastly, my foster mom says I’m a perfect gentleman already. I sit, wait, heal, shake and come, but if you live near Seattle, my personal trainer has offered a training package to my new Mom or Dad so that we all start out on the right “paw”. Let’s schedule a meet and greet soon! Currently in Seattle Washington


Kimbo

Kimbo is a one year old mixed breed who was rescued from the euthanasia list at a high-kill shelter. He tends to prefer female humans, but is also tolerant around males. He is also great with other dogs, preferably his size or smaller! No cats or kids at this time. Kimbo would love a forever home soon and is currently located in Los Angeles, CA.

Lucky

Meet Lucky, a stunning black German Shepherd with a heart full of loyalty and love! Lucky thrives around people and absolutely adores men, forming strong bonds quickly with those he trusts. He has a playful side and enjoys walks, treats, and spending quality time with his favorite humans. Lucky does best with large dogs when properly supervised and would prefer a home without small dogs. With his loyal nature and sweet personality, Lucky would make an incredible companion for someone looking for a devoted best friend. If you’re ready for endless loyalty and love, Lucky is waiting to meet you! He is currently located in Newport Beach, CA.

Ginny

Meet Mama Ginny – A Survivor With a Gentle Soul

Ginny was just a puppy herself when we saved her from a high-kill shelter. After being adopted by our rescue, she’s been through so much—from being bullied in boarding facilities to an unplanned pregnancy when she wasn’t spayed as promised. Despite all this, she’s remained gentle and loving.

She gave birth to five healthy puppies and is now safe in a foster home  with her five puppies and brought back into our rescue just weeks ago. Ginny is a sweet, resilient mama who deserves a forever home where she’ll finally know real love and security.
