Dog of the Month

Aspen: April Dog of the Month

March 1, 2024

Aspen
Tag No: 6856
Registered Name: None
Breed: Greyhound Mix
Date of Birth: June 18, 2021
Color: Brindle
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: See Comments
Kid Friendly: Ok with older Kids - 10+
Weight: 70 pounds
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments: Aspen is a sweetheart. She can be timid with people she does not know, but once she knows you she is friendly, curious and playful. She loves treats, ice cubes, tennis balls, chest rubs, and playing tug. Aspen was in a home but returned because she did not get along with the other dogs in her home, despite everyone's best efforts. Aspen loves to run and play with other dogs, and she plays well, but she can play roughly, so needs play buddies that are ok with slightly rougher play. Aspen needs to be an only dog in a home as she is food aggressive with other dogs. She will need a home with a fenced yard and no cats or other dogs. She lived with an 11 year old boy and loves to meet new kids, and although she can be a big excited/jumpy at first greetings, she does calm quickly. Aspen does well on car rides. She knows several commands and she is working on her leash manners. Aspen is a delightful "fuzzy" that will just make you smile!

Comments: Billy is a happy, fun, friendly boy. He is a playful boy and eager to please. Billy will need an adult-only home without cats or small dogs. He does fine as an only dog.

Nyx: January Dog of the Month

December 31, 2023

Please contact Moira Corrigan ([email protected]) for more information about Nyx.

Nyx
Tag No: 7012
Registered Name: None
Breed: Whippet Mix
Date of Birth: Approx March 1, 2021
Color: Black
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: Loves the company of other dogs.
Kid Friendly: No
Weight 35 pounds
Location: Woodinville, WA (Kennel)
Comments: Nyx is darling. He can be timid and fearful at first, but once he is comfortable, he is sweet, affectionate and playful. He loves being with other dogs and people, once he is comfortable. Nyx can be easily startled, so we do not recommend him in a home with children. He was found chained to a wooden kennel with dirt floors and it seems that is where he had spent his life, poor guy. He will need a calm, quieter home and environment. Nyx is not suitable for an apartment/condo/townhome and will need one without cats.

Aurora: December Dog of the Month

December 1, 2023

Please contact Moira Corrigan ([email protected]) for more information about Aurora.

Aurora
Tag No: 6948
Registered Name: None
Breed: Greyhound Mix
Date of Birth: Approx March 2019
Color: Black
Cat Trainable: No
Dog Friendly: Unknown
Kid Friendly: Unknown
Weight: 70 pounds
Location: Foster home.
Comments: Aurora is absolutely darling!!! She is very affectionate and friendly! Aurora LOVES belly rubs and loves to be outside and sunbathe! She has been in a foster home since the beginning of May and is doing wonderfully. She lives with another greyhound and a smaller dog and does really well with both. Her foster mom says she loves to cuddle and if you sit on the floor with her, she will rest her head on you somehow. Aurora loves balls, not to fetch but to squeak! She has the cutest stretch, and yawns and makes a funny sound when she does. She is so sweet and wants to please. Her foster mom has taught her to sit and is working on "paw". Aurora is eager to please and loves playing with toys. She walks well on leash (most of the time - on occasion she can be quite strong) and loves her walks. Aurora does have a high prey drive when she sees something move outside, so she needs someone who can continue her training (she works well with redirection). There are two other dogs in her foster home, and they like to play fight - Aurora doesn't get involved when they do, but if she does, she likes to slap with her paws and since she is so strong, she could hurt a small dog, but if you tell her to stop, she does! She has done well on her housebreaking. She also eats well and is not protective of her food. Aurora is really good in the car and mostly sleeps. Her foster mom thinks she will do well with other dogs and/or children as she has poked and prodded and done all the things a greyhound often doesn't like, and Aurora has not reacted at all! What a sweetie! Aurora may be ok as an only dog, but she does not like to be crated. Aurora will need a home without cats and with someone who can manage her strength. This is one special girl - such a cuddle bug - someone is missing out on this sweetheart!
