Winter in the Pacific Northwest is a season of misty mornings and cozy moments that remind us how much dogs love being by our side. The rain brings everything to life and while the days are shorter, they’re filled with chances for connection: a warm towel after a wet adventure and the comfort of sharing shelter from the storm. For dogs waiting for a home, winter can be especially hard, which makes this season a powerful reminder of how much warmth, safety, and love a rescue can offer—not just to needy dog, but to the people lucky enough to welcome them home.
