Everyone knows that the dog you adopt from a shelter isn't the same when they finally settle into a loving home - they're so much better! Poor Nori spent the past five years in a loving home before ending up at Seattle Humane. He simply does not want to be here, and we can't blame him. He feels instantly more relaxed outside of his kennel.

Not every dog available for adoption at Seattle Humane qualifies for a simple curbside adoption. Some pups need to meet with prospective adopters in order to determine if they connect. Many times it’s the big dogs, but then there’s cases like Olive. When she left for her foster home, Olive had a strong case of stranger danger. She didn’t appear to have that problem when she came back to campus to meet her new mom, who quickly learned that Olive is motivated by warm laps more than crunchy treats.

She was briefly adopted in late October, but returned due to her reactivity toward another dog. Mostly, Mona just wants to nap near her people and cheat on her diet. Mon

There are many dogs waiting to go home at Seattle Humane who either have their adoption fees covered by a generous donor or whose new family can name an adoption fee that works for them - and Rufus is one of them! This fetching young pupper is very playful and affectionate, knows a number of training cues, is easy to harness and leash, and he walks very nicely. Now, that's a lot of valuable skills for a shelter dog who could literally go home for a dollar. Feel free to consult a financial adviso

ADOPTED:Seattle Humane launched a field trip program for our shelter dogs earlier this year, where staff and volunteers take them out on fun hikes or to Sniffspots for an afternoon of play and relaxation. Sniffspots are kind of like Airbnbs for dogs, where folks rent out their backyards or fields.* Of all the dogs in our care, Bronny has seen the most action, but that's probably because he's been here since July. He has spent half of his 10 months on this planet in shelters. He's big, goofy and

Moppet was pending adoption for quite some time, but his hold was released because his hip dysplasia means he won't be a hiking dog. He recently had a visit with a person who left him in a yard unattended, so he could eat two tennis balls, and the person could look at other dogs. Yes, finding love outside the shelter hasn't been easy for sweet Moppet. When Moppet first arrived at Seattle Humane, his name was Monster. Obviously, this well-mannered and handsome chap only gives monster cuddles, so

She’s a very smart gal who knows how to sit, shake and stay and wants to learn more. She would appreciate being the only dog in her new home and a little outside space to herself would make her so happy! Her favorite thing is getting pets from her human. Don’t be surp

For example: we know Oscar can put up with a lot of nonsense, and Peach is down to test those limitations any time and place. She's a little ball of energy, but Oscar just loves the company. They're both a little over a year old and still have lots to learn. If you'd like to see how they get along w

And that won't be for at least a week. Until then, they'll be living together with their mama dog, Blue Bell, under the care of one of our amazing foster volunteers.

We'd love to see our shelter pets go out our doors as quickly as they come in, but the average length of stay for dogs has actually increased 24%! That's why providing them with fun and positive enrichment is so important. Ronald has spent most of his life in shelters, so he definitely deserved something special. How about a tower of treats made from leftover Amazon boxes from our recent wishlist unboxing? We were hoping he'd rush that thing like the Kool-Aid Man, but he was a proper gentleman.

Twenty-four dogs, cats, and small critters met their families and went to their new homes. That total included bonded senior puppers Rusty and Sophie, who couldn't help but jump for joy when they heard the news that they and so many of their furry friends had been adopted! | Seattle Humane
