Pluto, greyhound

Pluto is a male greyhound dog being kept at Royal Hounds Greyhound Adoption.

Pluto will get along great with cats. He's mastered his house-training etiquette. He's neutered and vaccinated.

Here's what Pluto's friends at Royal Hounds Greyhound Adoption think of him:

Pluto is a young man and learning about the world. He has a great attitude and a silly personality. He really tries to please. You may even catch him sitting on his own. A fenced yard is required to adopt Pluto.

Scout, Shih Tzu

Scout is a lovable male Shih Tzu dog in the care of Washington German Shepherd Rescue.

Scout is friendly as can be — he loves other dogs. He's neutered and vaccinated. He is already house-trained.

Notes from Scout's caretakers:

Scout is still a puppy, so he will need someone who is ready to buy him toys and play with him. He seems very calm indoors and loves to follow you around.

Nacho, pit bull terrier and hound mix

Nacho is an adorable male pit bull terrier and hound mix currently housed at Dog Gone Seattle.

Nacho will get along great with your other dogs. He is looking for a cat-free family. He's already house-trained. He's been vaccinated and neutered.

Nacho's current caretakers say:

He's had full obedience training and has excellent leash manners, but does require a skilled handler who can provide good leadership. Nacho's ideal home will be with a dog-savvy couple or family in a single-family residence (no apartments) with no toddlers, because he's very strong, and no other dogs or cats.

Boomer Chi, chihuahua and terrier mix

Boomer Chi is a sweet male chihuahua and terrier mix in the care of Dog Gone Seattle.

Boomer Chi will get along great with your other dogs and cats. Dog Gone Seattle, however, recommends he be placed in a home without small children. He is neutered and vaccinated. Fear not: He is already house-trained.

From his current caretaker:

Boomer is a smart, attentive and an eager-to-please kind of pup. With proper leadership, Boomer walks great on a leash. Boomer is a bit insecure, and needs a confident handler who can help him be his best self.

Millie, Plott hound and shepherd mix

Millie is a winsome female Plott hound and shepherd mix currently housed at Dog Gone Seattle.

Millie is ready to make friends — she loves other dogs. Have no fear: She is already house-trained. She is spayed, and she has had all her shots.

Notes from her caretakers:

She is very shy and timid and takes quite awhile to warm up to her people. She is good with other dogs and is crate and potty trained. She would do best in a quiet home environment without young children. We also think she would do best in a home with another confident dog to help show her the world isn't so scary.

Rex, German shepherd

Rex is a male German shepherd staying at Dog Gone Seattle.

Rex is looking for home without other dogs or cats. Rex would prefer a home without small children. His vaccinations are already up to date, and he is neutered. He's mastered his house-training etiquette.

From his current caretaker:

Rex is incredibly loyal once he gets to know you, but he does require slow introductions. He does have a history of biting — either when he was in pain, due to ear infections, or when introduced to people who wanted to pet him on the head too quickly. These were not serious bites, but he does need slow introductions to new people.
