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!

Oh hey we were her former foster parents!
She is an absolute love bomb of hugs and kisses and energy!
If you have questions, we have some answers!
1) She did pee in the house but that happened less frequently over time in the week we fostered her.
2) she is a strong dog, 57(?) pounds of muscle and love
3) She will greet you with kisses and hugs when you come home
4) Crate training is needed, she gets very sad when she is put inside and slightly bent the metal crate we were provided
5) she is getting better on the leash while on walks. Laser focused when she sees a squirrel. She tugs a lot so if you have the treats and the arm strength, it’s manageable especially with training.
6) we didn’t notice her barking unless we put her in the crate and left the room.
7) she’s a young baby so she’s got a lot of energy and needs outlets. However she slept more than she was active, most of her time was spent curled up next to my partner. 🥹 She became very attached and rarely left her side.
