Update: we have your full name Lynn, we will be contacting Law Enforcement to report your horrible behavior toward this dog! You could have made better decisions regarding this dog that you adopted from the TriCities, but you decided to discard it! We have shared your name with many rescues and shelters to let them know than you’re not a fit dog parent! It’s illegal to dump your pets, even more is the moral compass and you failed!
This beautiful dog, who has shown no interest in attacking the cats at the home of the lady who the dog found safety with and appears to be quite sweet. She is lucky that a shelter saw our post and contacted us to take the dog to save its life! If only she could only talk to tell us how you failed her! We are her voice right now!
Please don’t get another dog… they all deserve better!

This morning a dog showed up at a home in Soap Lake. The dog was scanned for a microchip and did have one. The owner was contacted, but she stated she would not take the dog back, claiming the dog kills cats and livestock. She also said that about a month ago she gave the dog to a farmer to be shot, but clearly that did not happen.

She refused to provide the farmer’s information and essentially told us the dog is now our problem.

We believe this is irresponsible pet ownership and are asking Animal Control to take this situation seriously and investigate it as possible abandonment. People should not be able to adopt a dog, refuse to take responsibility for it, and simply discard it when it becomes inconvenient.

According to the information we were given, the dog was adopted about six months ago from Tri-Cities Animal Services, but they are unable to take the dog back because it is outside their return timeframe.

Dogs deserve better than to be passed around, abandoned, or disposed of when someone decides they no longer want the responsibility. We hope the proper authorities will look into this situation so that accountability is taken and this dog can get the chance at the safe, responsible home it deserves.

Is there anyone that can help with this girl so that she’s not euthanized after we contact Animal Control to look into this lady’s actions? We believe that her fist name is Lynn. ... See MoreSee Less

Sometimes rescue puppies come into your life like tiny hurricanes… and sometimes they arrive like two little old souls.

Atlas and Nyx were found abandoned in a box at around 5 weeks old. Since then they’ve spent more than a month growing up in a loving foster home with kids, dogs, and cats, and they have turned out to be two of the sweetest, most easygoing puppies.

These two are about 10 weeks old now and each weigh about 11 pounds, so we expect them to grow into medium sized dogs.

What makes them special is their personalities. They’re calm, thoughtful puppies who prefer toys, exploring the yard, and cozy naps over chaos. They’re comfortable with everyday household life (even the vacuum!) and are wonderfully polite with the other dogs in their foster home.

Atlas is a gentle cuddle bug who loves laps and has the softest personality. He enjoys playing with other dogs but is never pushy — he’s the kind of puppy who seems wise beyond his weeks.

Nyx is the quieter observer with adorable bat ears and a sweet fox-like face. She’s curious, playful with toys, and loves a big comfy bed after exploring the yard.

Both puppies:
✔ raised with kids
✔ dog friendly
✔ cat friendly
✔ love toys and food (training should be fun!)
✔ calm, well-mannered personalities

If you’ve been looking for a puppy but hoping to skip the wild chaos phase, these two might just be your perfect match.
