Nellie, Australian cattle dog and pit bull terrier mix

Fear not: She's already house-trained. From Nellie's current caretaker: Read more about how to adopt Nellie on Petfinder.
Our volunteer transporter says she is very happy-go-lucky and friendly with all people and dogs, but not spazzy. She is quite the busy body, always moving, so it is surprising that she is very good in the crate. She doesn't know any basic commands (yet—we're working on it!) and she is working on her manners as she currently likes to jump and can get pretty mouthy.
Nikki, Eskimo dog
Nikki is a charming male Eskimo dog dog being kept at Dog Gone Seattle. Nikki plays well with others, and he'll get along great with kids, dogs or cats. He is already house-trained. He's neutered, and he has had all his shots. Notes from Nikki's caretakers: Read more about Nikki on Petfinder.
Nikki is an adorable 11-year-old purebred Miniature Eskimo who was a very loved member of a family until twin babies came into the picture and his family was overwhelmed. We are helping find him a wonderful forever home for the rest of his days. He's as friendly and easygoing as you could hope for. He's very playful and energetic.
Dallas, boxer
Dallas is a sweet male boxer dog currently residing at Charlie's Foundation. Dallas is the life of the party — he loves other dogs. He is already house-trained. He is already neutered, and he has had all his shots. Dallas' current caretakers say: Apply to adopt Dallas today at Petfinder.
Dallas is a senior boxer who still has some swagger! Dallas is not a running or hiking partner, but he would love to go on walks with you, or camping that doesn't involve hiking as he really enjoys car rides. He loves to hang out on a dog bed or couch while you are gone. He goes with the flow and is pretty mellow most days and you might find he likes to take a few naps.
Sitka, Australian kelpie
Sitka is a male Australian kelpie dog currently housed at Seattle Dogs Homeless Program. Sitka is happy to keep company with kids, cats or dogs. Have no fear: He is already house-trained. His vaccinations are already up to date, and he's neutered. Notes from Sitka's caretakers: Apply to adopt Sitka today at Petfinder.
Sitka lived in homelessness so he may need some help adjusting to living indoors. He must be on a leash when outside or in a fenced yard. He did live with a baby and a kitten without incident, but we are cautious so each home will be looked at independently to decide if your family would be a good fit. Sitka would enjoy a active family, go for walks, exploring, jogging but he would also love just cuddling and chilling with his family.
Joey, chihuahua mix
Joey is a darling male chihuahua mix being cared for at Dog Gone Seattle. Joey will get along great with other dogs and cats. Joey is already neutered, and he has had all his shots. No need to worry: He is already house-trained. Here's what Joey's friends at Dog Gone Seattle think of him: Read more about how to adopt Joey on Petfinder.
Joey is an adorable and petite chihuahua mix. This guy may be just six pounds, but he is all-love. Joey is quick to greet you with a wagging tail, and is very sweet and affectionate — he is known for making his rounds at social gatherings and making sure each person gets a chance to pet him.
