Washington’s Adoptable Pets of the Week: June 12, 2015

Melbourne was surrendered to the shelter by his owners when they could no longer care for him. The shelter staff were told his mom was a labradoodle and his dad was a lab. He is approximately 8 months old and very affectionate. He is very friendly and great with other dogs. Melbourne already weighs about 60 pounds and is not done growing, so he is going to be a big boy. He would be happiest in a home with a fenced back yard and with another dog as a companion. He really loves to play with other dogs of all sizes but a medium to large dog companion would be best. Melbourne is not super high-energy but definitely needs a yard for romping around. He is somewhat scared of the indoors but is quickly coming around and learning to love being inside. He is housetrained and crate trained. Melbourne will make a great addition to any family. For more information on Melbourne, please visit the Rural Dog Rescue website.

Comet is young plot hound-mix, around a year old and nearly fully grown at about 50 pounds. Even though he’s moved around a lot in his short life, this boy is incredibly happy and eager to meet everyone he sees. Comet has a wonderful disposition, and he’s very smart, loyal and the perfect age for training. He would be a great addition to any home, and a great match for an active family. You can meet him through K-9 Lifesavers.
