Dog Gone Seattle

Rescue, Respect, Repeat.

We are dedicated to saving homeless dogs in high-kill shelters across Washington state and beyond. Every dog we rescue is placed in foster care so we really get know their temperament and compatibility. Our case managers strive to match each dog with the adopter that’s a great fit. As a non-profit organization, we depend on adoption fees and donations to fund our life-saving work. Please support us in our mission by volunteering, fostering, adopting or donating today.

Become a Foster

Fostering save lives, literally. We can only rescue a dog if a foster is ready to take it in.

On this Giving Tuesday, please consider supporting Dog Gone Seattle. We are a Seattle area foster based organization committed to saving homeless dogs at risk of euthanasia, and we rely on the generosity of our village to save lives. With the support of our community, we take sad stories — like these puppies, discarded at a San Joaquin holding facility — and turn them into happy endings for so many families, with over 6,000 lives saved since 2017! With so many worthy organizations, thank you for considering DGS today. #rescuerespectrepeat

Say hello to Harvey, a 1.5-year-old pitty/pointer

Say hello to Harvey, a 1.5-year-old pitty/pointer with a winning grin and a sweet personality. Harvey can be a little shy meeting new friends outside the home, but it doesn’t take him long to warm up and ask for pets and play. Harvey is a fast learner and eager to please! He plays well with other dogs but does have a little of that pitty pushiness so proper intros are always best. Harvey is house and crate trained, working on ‘place’ command, and walks (and hikes!) well on a training collar. For more info on Harvey, comment ⛄️ and we’ll PM you!

Meet Raphael, aka Raphi. Raphi is about a year and a half old, and weighs 65lbs. We pulled him from a high-kill shelter in CA where he was kenneled with 6 other dogs, and at risk for euthanasia. Raphi is a sweet and cuddly guy with a big heart and an eager-to-please attitude. This star student quickly mastered basic commands like sit, stay, and come. Crate and potty trained, Raphi is ready to be the perfect addition to an active PNW family. He loves people and will happily curl up in your lap if you let him. This big sweetie is great with other dogs, and while he’s not currently living with children he’s been friendly with every one he meets. Raphi will be a loyal and loving addition to one lucky family!
