Gus

Gus is an 8–9‑year‑old Yorkie who is slowly learning that the world can be safe again. He came to us fearful and unsure, but his foster home has been helping him decompress at his own pace. Underneath that worry is a gentle little dog who wants to trust — he just needs someone patient enough to let him bloom.<br/><br/>He weighs about 14 pounds and is still intact; Neuter date April 19th, and he will also need a dental. Gus is not ready for a busy or chaotic home, but he is making steady progress with calm routines, soft voices, and predictable structure.<br/><br/>About Our Rescue & Transport Process<br/>Most of our dogs originate in Eastern Washington, where we complete the majority of their vetting because it is significantly more affordable. After vetting, dogs are transferred to foster homes in Pierce, King, and Snohomish Counties—however, many are adopted before they reach their foster homes.<br/><br/>Because we are 100% volunteer‑powered, we meet pre‑approved adopters in Ellensburg to keep transport manageable and fair for everyone. If you cannot drive to Ellensburg, we will do our best to arrange a volunteer driver to meet you in your Western WA city.<br/><br/>Meeting Locations<br/>Western WA adopters:<br/>Approved adopters will meet in Ellensburg within the next 1–2 weeks. Volunteer hand‑offs closer to the new home may be available if travel is difficult.<br/><br/>Eastern WA adopters:<br/>Approved adopters may meet in Moses Lake, Quincy or Omak.<br/><br/>If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and the patience to help a senior dog feel safe again, Gus may be the companion you’ve been waiting for.
