🇺🇲 The 50 State Rescue Challenge: Washington Edition

At Cause for Paws, we’re on a mission:

Get a pet adopted in every state.

This week, we're heading to the Evergreen State — Washington! 🌲

In the bustling Seattle area, foster-based rescue Dog Gone Seattle (DGS) is committed to saving homeless dogs and those at risk for euthanasia.

DGS operates on a noble mantra: "Rescue, Respect, Repeat." 

Fueled by a compassionate group of fosters, volunteers, adopters, and donors, their mission to give dogs a second chance at life is a true community effort.

If you're in the Seattle area and considering adopting a furry friend, be sure to check them out here!

🐾 Paw Profiles: Dog Gone Seattle pups up for adoption

🐾 Gnocchi 🐾

Gnocchi, a 2-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix, brings a blend of loyalty, playfulness, and love of fluffy toys.

Sociable and friendly, he's comfortable in dog-friendly offices and eager to play with other dogs. Soft-hearted for a Husky mix, Gnocchi loves attention, and can’t wait for his forever home!

🐾 Teddy 🐾

Teddy, a 4-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix, is a gentle soul known for his sweet nature and love for snuggles.

Rescued from a crowded shelter, he's friendly, good with other dogs, and would fit in perfectly with an active family in a peaceful setting.

🐾 Roadster 🐾

Roadster, an 18-month-old Lab/Husky mix, was rescued from a highway and brought to Seattle, and is known for his calm demeanor, friendliness, and adventurous spirit.

Roadster loves to be in the middle of everything, enjoys snuggles, and is learning his boundaries. Roadster would do well as a solo pet or with a canine companion to spend his days with.
