Retriever and Cattle Dog Dogs Available for Adoption in Bothell, Washington

Animal Information: Kiki is an estimated 7-month-old, female, Labrador Retriever/Cattle Dog mix puppy currently weighing approximately 40lbs. She was found as a stray in Hawaii along with her littermates, Shohei and Dodger who joined us earlier in 2026 and have been adopted.

Foster Profile:

Kiki is such a sweetie! She is a smart, well-mannered, and loving pup looking for a calm, committed home where she can blossom from her timid shell to bring joy to her new family. She is happy to hang out with you in the house sleeping, playing, or chewing her bones, but also loves playing with other dogs once she's comfortable, and running zoomies in the yard.

Kiki can be a bit anxious and we are working on building up her confidence. It takes her a while to warm up to new people and dogs, so introductions need to be slow and gentle. But once she is comfortable she's an affectionate and playful girl. And those eyes!

Kiki is eager to please and is food motivated. She barks an alarm at close-by sounds, but is fairly easily reassured that all is well. She hasn't barked in her kennel, only whined a bit before settling. She knows "sit" and "kennel," and is making progress with training. She can be fearful of cars and loud noises, which makes her nervous on leash out in the world beyond the yard, so she will need a patient handler to help her continue building her confidence.

She would do well in a home with another stable, confident dog to show her the ropes, and people who are dedicated to working with her on her confidence, socialization, and to read queue’s from other dogs. We will update her profile further as we continue to get to know this sweet girl.

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter (on contract, if applicable), core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).
