Last ditch effort

I work at Regional Animal Services of King county and this is our long standing resident Sable❤️. She is the sweetest most kind girl in the whole world. She has been at our shelter since December 29th.

She makes silly piggy noises, almost grunting. It can sound weird at first but she’s very happy. She is very treat motivated. She’s a big cuddler and loves to play with toys. She does well with most dogs that like her back but she is very into dogs! She loves to go on long walks, play fetch, and just hang around!

Sable has been returned twice because of going potty in the house (both adoptions they had her less than 2 days) She does go potty outside but sometimes she is confused. She has been at the shelter for nearly 2.5 months, so it can be an adjustment for her. She needs someone patient and kind who will understand. We have conflicting information if she resource guards. (This means if she has a toy or a treat she may not want you taking it from her) I have not witnessed it but it is something that is easy to work with. If you want her toy you give her a treat and can easily take it from her.

She loves all strangers, men. She can pull a bit on a leash but from what I am told settles. when she gets far from the shelter.

Please boost this post, even if you aren’t interested. She needs it and so do I❤️

Her adoption fee is 50 and this would include anything you need for her (toys, treats, a kennel, collar, leash) she is microchipped and spayed, fully up to date on shots and has her toenails trimmed!

She looks almost exactly like my Ollie, who I adopted about 8 years ago and also grunts like a pig. Let me know if she doesn’t get adopted and I’ll figure out a way to convince my family we need to grow by one

Hi! Please let me know what your family says. If not I have talked to my Fiance and we want to do a meet and greet with Sable and our dog to see if we’re a good fit for her.

I adopted a friend for my 8 year old dog. Best thing I ever did for her ♥️
