Tora, whippet and hound mix

Tora is a winsome female whippet and hound mix currently housed at Dog Gone Seattle.

Tora is friendly as can be — she'll get along great with your other dogs. She has been vaccinated and spayed. Have no fear: She is already house-trained.

Here's what Tora's friends at Dog Gone Seattle think of her:

She is a sweet but fearful girl who will need patience and dedication to help build her confidence. She is timid around people but does warm up when she realizes she can trust and then seeks affection. She walks very well on leash when she has an assertive leader to encourage her, otherwise she tends to want to dart everywhere and find a hiding place. Tora loves other dogs and would probably show very little interest in interacting with cats.

Hopper, pit bull terrier and German shepherd mix

Hopper is a handsome male pit bull terrier and German shepherd mix in the care of Forgotten Dogs Rescue.

Hopper is already neutered, and he has had all his shots. He's already house-trained.

Here's what Hopper's friends at Forgotten Dogs Rescue think of him:

Hopper is ready to find his forever home! This handsome boy was estimated born around March 2019, so he’s still a young guy, and he weighs about 65 pounds. His front leg had severe nerve damage and had no feeling, so the decision was made to amputate it. He’s now fully recovered from surgery and runs and plays like nothing ever happened to him! Hopper one of the happiest dogs you’ll ever meet. He loves cuddling and using your body as a pillow. He loves to play, and will do best with a playful yet patient dog in his forever home.

Ethel, husky mix

Ethel is a darling female husky mix staying at Dog Gone Seattle.

Ethel gets along well with other dogs. She's already house-trained. Ethel has had all her shots.

Ethel's current caretakers say:

She has high energy and will need a very active forever home and a fenced yard. Ethel would be best in a home with dog experience, so we will not be considering first time dog owners.

Thor, German shepherd mix

Thor is a handsome male German shepherd mix currently housed at Washington German Shepherd Rescue.

He has mastered his house-training etiquette. Thor is already neutered and vaccinated.

From Thor's current caretaker:

Thor is a very handsome, three-year-old, German Shepherd mix that has just arrived into rescue. He is currently in a temporary foster home with other dogs, but ideally he will be in a home without dogs due to the fact he hasn’t been neutered yet as a result of the 'stay at home' order. We are looking for a foster home without other pets or a foster-to-adopt home for him.

Oliver, Australian cattle dog and pit bull terrier mix

Oliver is a male Australian cattle dog and pit bull terrier mix staying at Dog Gone Seattle.

Oliver plays well with others, and he's happy to keep company with other dogs. He is vaccinated.

Oliver's current caretakers say:

Oliver is estimated to be two years old and weighs 70 lbs. Our volunteer transporter reports that Oliver is an outgoing good dog who's also dog-friendly. He's a very smart boy who already knows sit and down, waits for "free" to get out of his crate to eat his food, and responds to a firm no. Oliver will need a someone who can be a strong leader and be committed to helping him become the best dog he can be.
