Ruby, pit bull terrier mix

Ruby is a lovable female pit bull terrier mix currently housed at Forgotten Dogs Rescue.

She's already house-trained. She has been vaccinated and spayed.

From Ruby's current caretaker:

Ruby is such a well-behaved girl and knows sit, wait and stay. She loves walks, hikes and is up for some good quality play time. She has done great meeting other dogs but has not been met any cats. She hasn’t met a human she hasn’t liked and is in a foster home with kids. She definitely loves having as many hands as possible to give her snuggles and belly rubs and would like these to be supplied all day long if possible. Ruby is an amazing pup!

Leo, black mouth cur and mastiff mix

Leo is a lovable male black mouth cur and mastiff mix being kept at Dog Gone Seattle.

Leo gets along well with other dogs and cats. His vaccinations are already up to date, and he's neutered. He has mastered his house-training etiquette.

Leo's current caretakers say:

Leo is a three-year-old mixed breed (Black Mouth Cur Mastiff, according to his former owners) born in March 2017 and almost 90 pounds. Leo is a soft dog but with a soft handler he can be territorial and reactive to his environment — he does well with calm assertive leadership. Leo has lived with another dog, a cat and children in the past.

Theo, flat-coated retriever mix

Theo is a male flat-coated retriever mix currently residing at Dog Gone Seattle.

Theo gets along well with other dogs. He already has had all of his shots, and he is neutered. He's mastered his house-training etiquette.

From Theo's current caretaker:

Theo is estimated to be six or seven months old and about 40 pounds. He is cute as can be, but pretty strong and with a mind of his own! He will need a dog-savvy owner who will continue his training and help him become the best dog he can be. He is picking up training in the home (house training/crate training) but does have a hard time settling down. We're working on it!

Buzz, German shepherd mix

Buzz is a darling male German shepherd mix being cared for at Dog Gone Seattle.

Buzz is happy to keep company with other dogs. His vaccinations are up to date. Have no fear: He's already house-trained.

Here's what Buzz's friends at Dog Gone Seattle think of him:

Buzz is estimated to be three years old and currently weigh 82 pounds. He does really well with other dogs and most people, but warms up faster to women. He's pretty low energy, loves to go on walks, but has no problem hanging out with his people to relax and hang around. He knows some basic commands like sit, down and stay and is working on his leash skills which are coming along. He is a quick learner and will benefit from someone who wants to continue to challenge him mentally.

Martha, border collie

Martha is a sweet female border collie dog in the care of Seattle Dogs Homeless Program.

Martha is a social animal — she'll get along great with cats, dogs and kids. She has been vaccinated and spayed. She's already house-trained.

Notes from Martha's caretakers:

Martha is a beautiful, shy dog that is a bit weary of the world. She was surrendered with her brother Cody and they are a bonded pair. Martha is an indoor dog that does enjoy hanging with her people, playing with other dogs and wants a family that'll spend lots of time with her. She will need patience, leash training and confidence building. We are looking for a active home with someone that is home often or can take her to work with them.

Cheech, pit bull terrier and black mouth cur mix

Cheech is a male pit bull terrier and black mouth cur mix currently residing at Seattle Dogs Homeless Program.

Cheech will do best with an owner who has time to bond with her. He'll need a home free of other dogs, cats and children. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. Cheech is neutered and vaccinated.

Cheech's current caretakers say:

Cheech is a beautiful mixed breed. He is five years old, and although he weighs 46 pounds, he is very strong and isn't a large dog. Due to his previous life we are seeking an adult-only home. Cheech would love to go for walks, hiking, camping, swimming and then go home and snuggle.

Dolly, greyhound

Dolly is an adorable female greyhound dog being cared for at Royal Hounds Greyhound Adoption.

Dolly is looking for cat-free forever home. Dolly is already spayed, and she has had all her shots. She is already house-trained.

Dolly is as sweet as her name. She's a fun, playful girl that loves her stuffed toys. She's a young girl working on building confidence in her new life as a pet. She will make a fabulous companion for her furever family. A fenced yard is required to adopt Dolly.
