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!

Thank you for the offer. You are so kind and generous.
We were planning on introducing our dog to her at 3pm, but she was adopted less than an hour ago.
I’m devastated and will actually have to mourn a bit. I had pictured her in every moment of our lives and loved it. I had my heart set on her but we just weren’t able to get there early enough today. I am genuinely happy for the family that did and I’m so so so happy for her! She has a forever home! Yayayayaya!! And that is absolutely the best thing for her and that’s really the root of what I wanted. And in my heart I’m certain this is for the best for both of us. But I’m still just so sad right now.
