Introducing the Soda Pups! These sweet girls, born 9/25/25, were part of a group of dogs abandoned far up a mountain when their people moved away. Their mother Shasta (last photo, also up for adoption) appears to be a husky-shepherd-mixed breed, and we expect the pups to be in the 50-65 pound range when full grown.

None of these abandoned dogs had been adequately socialized up on the mountain, so everything is new to them, and it all seems oh-so-scary right now. These pups have very sweet natures, thankfully, though it takes them a while to warm up to new people, and they must be introduced to new experiences slowly, patiently, and positively.

Pepsi (tricolor) and 7-Up (black & white) will benefit from relaxed dog-experienced families with a calm and centered atmosphere in the home. They will need repeated positive exposure to everything new in their lives, from pavement to televisions to traffic, with the reward of watching them blossom into happy, loving, well-adjusted companions.

As you can see in their video (taken 11/20), they even need encouragement to trust jerky treats from their new friend-in-waiting. We have staff and volunteers helping them with their socialization and confidence every day, and know they will do best when separated and placed with experienced and savvy dog lovers. As they bond with their new people, it will be important to begin the typical training process, while providing enough exercise to keep them in a tired-relaxed state.

We can't wait to see what magnificent beauties they become with the help of their lucky adopters!

Puppies require a lot of human interaction, and all puppies will benefit from obedience training and full immersion in their human household. These pups' ideal homes will have someone who can exercise them with a couple of energetic walks each day, plus commitment to training them how to be the best dogs they can be. They hope to have very few hours per day when they will be without the companionship of a human or other pet, and will reward their forever people with boundless love and loyalty!

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for 7-Up is a suggested minimum of $175 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
