“My name is Pendleton, and I like warm hugs!” Pendleton is a 4-year-old, fun-sized (40 lb.) Australian cattle dog: the perfect blend of post-puppy energy and adult dog “chill”. This affectionate and loyal boy is looking for a forever home that will provide him with stability and love, and in return he will adore you and everyone that enters your home. Pendleton is athletic and loves to play fetch and chase, but don’t let his liveliness fool you; he is completely content to cuddle with his people in between spurts of play. He is an extremely affectionate boy towards his humans and has not met a person he does not like – to include children. Pendleton does great with children of all ages, baby to toddler to adolescences! He loves their attention and will give them the same love in return. We do not know much about Pendleton’s history prior to his arrival at PNWCDR, but he is very fearful of other dogs (and apparently cats) and is dog-reactive, especially when he is on a leash. Therefore, he needs a home without other animals. Pendleton would make a great outdoor adventure buddy and is well-suited for the Pacific Northwest lifestyle (hiking, running, etc.). He is extremely smart and is responding well to training, and he might enjoy agility or other work-oriented activities. Pendleton is currently on medication to help him confront his fear of other dogs. The ideal adopter would have the patience required for him to continue his decompression and transition to a new home and be willing to continue his training to reduce reactivity to scary stimuli. He is up to date on his age-appropriate core vaccinations, neutered, house-trained, microchipped, and doing great learning his common commands. Pendleton knows how to “sit”, go to his “bed”, “wait”, and he comes to his name. He will even sit and wait before being released to eat his breakfast and dinner! Pendleton is currently being fostered in Spokane, WA and the adoption fee is $390. If you are interested in meeting Pendleton, please fill out an adoption form on our website: pdwcdr.org/adopt. Please note we do not do DNA testing on our foster dogs; the breed description is our best guess based on appearance. Adoption process: • Adoption Application • Phone Convo • Meet & Greet • Home Visit • Application Approval • Adoption Fee & Contract Pendleton is: altered, up to date with routine shots, house trained, might not be suitable for a home with small children.

**Please note that due to Nikki's need for slow introductions to feel safe and comfortable, interested applicants will need to have a few Meet & Greet's with her and Foster Family in Corvallis, OR to determine if it is a good fit.** Hi, I'm Nikki! I’m an adorable 25 lb foster pup looking for my forever home, and I can't wait to meet you! Here’s a bit about me: My Personality & Behavior: People: I can be super friendly once I get to know you, but I might be fearful and reactive at first. I’m cautious with new faces and fast movements -- like a real heeler! Give me some time and patience, and I promise to be your best friend. Dogs: When I meet new doggy friends, I can be a bit nervous and reactive. I'm very treat motivated and eager to learn new social skills! Once I trust new friends, I love to play by mouthing, wrestling, and chasing. Kids: I would do best in a home with no young kids My Daily Routine: Walks & Activities: I love leash walks in the neighborhood and playing in the backyard. Fetch, tug-of-war with people and dogs, digging, chewing my Nylabone, and frisbee are some of my favorite activities. When playtime is done, I also adore cuddling with my people. Crating: I’m used to being crated for about 6 hours a day while my foster family is at work. Chew toys help keep me busy while being crated so I don't bark or whine. Energy Level: I'd say I have medium energy. I enjoy active play but can also calm down naturally. A Few More Things About Me: Training: I’m sure do love food! Crunchy dog biscuits and soft training treats work wonders for me when training. Car Behavior: I enjoy car rides and I’m a calm passenger, usually resting or sleeping during car rides. Fun Fact: I absolutely love to sunbathe! I’m looking for a patient and loving family who are willing to continue my training and will help me feel secure and cherished. Could that be you? I can’t wait to find my forever home! Nikki is currently being fostered in Corvallis, Oregon.

"Hello everyone! This here is Bubba aka Bubba Dawg. He`s a 2 year old ACD mix, I`m looking to rehome him for a few reasons. He`s becoming aggressive with my siblings because of the way they treat him when I`m not around. Also My parents dogs don`t get along well with him because they are dominant territorial female shepherds. Bubba gets along great with dogs, cats and babies! I don`t want to put him in a shelter and I really want the best for this little guy. he makes a great friend and companion! He loves ropes, balls, walks, swimming and most importantly laser pointers! Please help me find the perfect home for my best four-legged friend!"

♡ Penny ♡
Federal Way WA 98003

3 years old
Spayed Female
36 lb

Breed(s):
Australian Cattle Dog Border Collie Australian Shepherd

UTD Vaccines:
Rabies Distemper-Parvo Bordatella Canine Influenza

"Seattle area, WA. Rehoming.

Penny is a three-year-old rescue heeler mix. Like most heelers, she`s incredibly smart, loving, active, and a velcro dog to boot. She has been extensively trained: she is housebroken, can use a doggy door, doesn`t chew on furniture, good on car rides, has great recall, and is crate-trained (and likes being in her crate—though she definitely prefers to snuggle with you). Up-to-date on all her vaccines and on flea/tick/heartworm medication. Spayed.

We have had her for two years since we adopted her, and we don`t make this choice lightly because she is such a sweetheart. However, Penny is a very assertive dog and would prefer to be the only dog in a household. We have a less gifted (somewhat special needs) dog and have finally accepted that we cannot reconcile the two. Penny is prone to resource guarding (food, toys, and favorite people) around other dogs specifically, which has led to scuffles between them.

Penny loves to play and work for her food and go for long walks or chase balls. That said, she can be reactive around men, bikes, and strange dogs that come too close to her on trails. She normally redirects well with a treat in hand, but prevention is ideal, so a prospective owner would hopefully be the vigilant sort.

She normally falls around 35lbs. Keeping her as long as it takes to find a good fit."

♡ Blue ♡
Shoreline WA 98133

34 months old
Neutered Male
45 lb

Breed(s):
Australian Cattle Dog

UTD Vaccines:
Rabies Distemper-Parvo Bordatella

"Blue is an energetic, loving, and loyal dog. He`s smart, knows all the tricks, loves to play fetch, hide/seek, and enjoys puzzles. He`s kennel trained, nondestructive if left alone (up to 5 hrs). Blue has some bad habits. He tends to pull on the leash, will insist on greeting other dogs, and his predatory habits are to chase cats. I think a more patient and loving home could help with that. Unfortunately, due to my work, I can no longer provide what I would deem the appropriate time or space for Blue."

Donation Request: Make a donation of $200 to PNW Cattle Dog Rescue in Blue`s name.
