Educate, Advocate, Rehabilitate for the sake of our pets.
WHY BUY, WHEN YOU CAN ADOPT & RESCUE?
One of the primary reasons for KARE’s existence is to help animals from shelter environments with the training and socialization they need to find and stay in their new homes. Most of the animals we foster we do so because the animal has certain behavior(s) that either landed it in the shelter or a behavior the animal obtained while in the shelter that prevents it from being adoptable.
KARE supports local shelters through rescue and rehoming of “unadoptable” animals. Many great dogs and cats end up in shelters through no fault of their own. Family relocations, loss of homes, minor untrained behavior problems are three most common reasons for pet surrenders. With a good foster home environment and some simple training these animals become amazing pets in their new forever homes.

Adoption Information
I am looking to adopt. What steps do I have to take?
Visit our Petfinder or Adopt-a-Pet pages to locate one of our adoptables. Complete the Adoption Application and submit to adoptions@nwkare.org. All animals adopted through KARE are micro-chipped, vaccinated, and spayed/neutered (except puppies) prior to release to new owners. A deposit will be taken for puppies that are not yet spayed or neutered to ensure that the spay/neuter occurs when it's best for the puppy.
For the sake of the pet:
All members of household must be in agreement
Adoption application and agreement must be completed and signed by someone 18 years or older
Dogs must be indoor/outdoor dogs (no outdoor only dogs)
If children under the age of five in the household, adoption family must attend Doglish class
No two puppies from the same litter will be adopted together
Meet the delightful, talented, and amazing approx. 4 year old Trixie! She is a happy girl with her tail always wagging. Trixie loves to run and play in a fenced yard. She is incredibly sweet and enjoys every loving touch that comes her way. Trixie is a gentle girl who loves to cuddle and gives the best tender kisses. She dreams of hanging out with her forever family.
Trixie is always up for a fun adventure or just lounging on the couch with you. Sheâs easy going, but has energy for play and is ready to be the love of your life! To know Trixie is to love her!
Because she is "bouncy" she would not be suitable for a home with small children. She also prefers to be the only dog in the home.
Her Adoption fee is $150.00 which included up to date shots, spay, microchip.

Momma Maryanne was found under someone's deck with her eleven babies. They were brought to a shelter in Missouri and stayed there for two weeks until one of our amazing volunteers stepped in. We were able to get them all out of the shelter and into a foster home and now she is in WA!
Maryanne is such a wonderful mom, very sweet, soulful eyes and heart. She has been described as an old soul. She is great with other dogs, older kids and seems just fine with the neighbor cat!
Maryanne will make a wonderful addition to a home that is looking for a low key, medium size companion dog!

Introducing Bandit! He loves to be around his people and children! What we love most about Bandit is that he is affectionate and sooooo sweet. He enjoys playing fetch with a ball or frisbee, hikes and walks. He would do best in a home with another dog as he does need some help building confidence as he is quite nervous. We will be requiring a fenced in yard for Bandit as he really enjoys being outdoors!
Bandit is not a good candidate for becoming a service or therapy dog.
Bandit would also do best in a home without cats or chickens.

Burke is 90% calm and sweet, very quiet and almost never whines or barks. She does love her small bursts of "zoomies" around the yard! She is a good eater, friendly towards dogs and already doing great with potty training! Great with kids, also!
KARE rescued this puppy (and 10 other litter mates) from a awful situation in rural Missouri. The puppies were left in a small dog run with little or no interactions. They are all now in WA state, in loving foster homes, and coming out of their shell!
As with any puppy, their home will need to be able to provide care for them during the day while they are potty training. Their new owners will also need to be committed to positive reinforcement training and socialization.
We believe they will grow up to be medium size dogs (40-60lbs). Their adoption fee is $450 and includes spay/neuter, up to date vaccines and microchip. Click on "More About Us" to download an Adoption Application and then please return to adoptions@nwkare.org.
Rainier is very smart and loves his people! He is in great when approaching other people or dogs. He is a great eater and is doing great with potty training! He would do best in a home with another dog to help in come more out of his shell.

Elliott is a mellow pup that would love to have a doggie playmate! He is very smart and has already learned sit, down and rollover! He is also doing great with potty training!

Stuart is friendly, outgoing and lovable! He is a fast learner and motivated with treats. He already knows sit and is working on down (lay). Potty training is going great with him. He is going to be such a great loyal dog. He is best with older kids as he is still fairly mouthy. He loves to chase anything that runs so kitties may not be the best match. 🙂

Baker is outgoing and a fast learner! Baker would be fantastic partner! He is so thoughtful and has a high willingness to please and connect. While his brother is off being a goof ball, looking for trouble, Baker is sitting next to his foster patiently watching. He is also more easily trainable for this reason. He is also excellent with kids over 6!

Olympus is playful and carefree! He is a little shy at first but warms up. He is a goof ball and a busy body. Ollie is wicked smart and super motivated by positive reinforcement. He has a bit of a case of "puppy brain" and gets distracted easily. 🙂 He is a bit of a clown!
