Pet of the week - Trevor

From pound puppies to purebreds Patch spotlights dogs who enjoy what Shoreline/Lake Forest Park has to offer. For some dogs, like this week’s pet Trevor, all they need is a loving home.

The 3 year old purebred Bishon Frise is only 11 pounds. He is a great lap dog and loves car rides. Trevor is crate trained and is hoping to join a home that has another dog already.

Trevor was rescued from a puppy mill. His fur was all matted and he had to be bathed many times and completely shaved to get rid of the mats that were painfully on his skin. Trevor will be a stunner once his hair grows out.

He gets along great with people, older kids, and other dogs. He has not been around cats before.

Once at Ginger’s Hefner was groomed, including an ear cleaning. Under a vet’s care he was neutered, dewormed, microchipped and had his shots, including rabies, updated. Now he is ready to go to their forever home. His adoption fee is $550 to cover his vet care, transportation and care.

Ginger, a Shoreline resident and owner of Greenwood’s Rickshaw Restaurant, has rescued more than 3,500 dogs since January 2006.

Even people who cannot care for a rescue dog can help dogs, like Rocky, by donating to  Ginger Luke's Death Row Dog Rescue, a 501 C 3 organization, to help pay the vet bills and save these dogs who have been through so much. Foster homes and donations of leashes, collars and crates are also needed.
