Dogs in Seattle looking for their fur-ever homesPhotos: Petfinder

Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some cuddly canines? There are dozens of deserving dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Seattle.

Animal shelters work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)


Sweet Pea, shar-pei and Labrador retriever mix

Sweet Pea is a darling female shar-pei and Labrador retriever mix currently residing at Dog Gone Seattle.

Sweet Pea is happy to keep company with cats, dogs and children. Her vaccinations are up to date and she's spayed. She has mastered her house-training etiquette.

Her current caretakers say:

She had a rough start in life, with a deep puncture to her left eye, which has since healed, and double cherry-eye and entropian surgery. Luckily her vision is in tact and she is adjusting to the good life in her foster home in the Pacific Northwest. She is sweet, submissive and playful with other dogs.

Caruso, German shepherd and terrier mix

Caruso is a darling male German shepherd and terrier mix currently housed at Dog Gone Seattle.

Caruso is happy to keep company with other dogs. He's already house-trained. He is already neutered, and he has all his shots.

His current caretakers say:

He is working through some separation anxiety, and would love to go to a home where his people aren't gone super long. He would love a dog buddy that he can learn from.

Missy, dachshund and chihuahua mix

Missy is a lovable female dachshund and chihuahua mix being kept at 6Dogrees Rescue.

Missy loves other dogs. 6Dogrees Rescue, however, thinks she will do best in a home without small children. She is already house-trained. She has all of her shots, and she's spayed.

Here's what her friends at 6Dogrees Rescue think of her:

Missy is very shy and takes time to warm up to people, but once comfortable, she is loyal and loving. Please be prepared for a lifelong commitment before applying.

Sawyer, Labrador retriever and Plott hound mix

Sawyer is a handsome male Labrador retriever and Plott hound mix being cared for at Dog Gone Seattle.

Sawyer will get along great with other dogs. His vaccinations are already up to date, and he's neutered. He's already house-trained.

Notes from his caretakers:

Sawyer is doing great — he is a bundle of joy and energy and absolutely loves to chase a ball. He would love a yard to run in! When he gets the puppy crazies, he will attempt to chase the cat, and would not do well with shy or skittish cats, but may be OK with a dog-savvy cat and training. 

Apply to adopt Sawyer today at Petfinder.

Jake, rat terrier

Jake is a male rat terrier dog currently housed at Washington German Shepherd Rescue.

Jake loves other dogs and cats. He already has all of his shots, and he is neutered. Good news: He is already house-trained.

Here's what his friends think of him:

He loves the dog park and loves riding in the car. He wants to please and loves praise and treats.
