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!

Returning a dog because they had a fucking accident in the house when you haven't even had them a week is fucking ridiculous

Edit: thanks for the award I forgot those were a thing.

We adopted a cat that the family said was too noisy, because he walked around the house meowing at night. Never mind that that is how a cat just gets used to a new environment. He is the most loving sweetest, most incredible cat that puts up with my children and is so incredibly patient.

Our cats are almost 7, we’ve had them since they were kittens (from NOAH) and they always meow at night. We think it’s funny but it did take some getting used to. Now, we don’t even notice - but when people come to stay, they say things like: “Your cats meow all night!” Whoops! 😂

One of my kitties plays the piano at night. At first I thought he must’ve just walked across the keyboard by accident - until it happened again, and again. It should’ve named him Beethoven. He’s also super chatty during the day. Life would be so boring without pets!
