No-mow drought tolerant AND seedable?

We have 2 big dogs that tear up the grass in our back yard. We are looking at a large project to terrace the slight slope in our back yard, and make the lawn area smaller, level and also more usable. I plan to put turfstone in to turn it into something more like a green patio, and to prevent the dogs from doing the scratchy thing after peeing.

I am looking for a grass, or grass alternative that will survive the PNW's dry hot summers and wet winters once properly established, and that also either needs rare or no mowing. Additionally, I think it'll be very difficult to plant plugs of anything into each crevice in the turfstone, so I assume I would need something that I could broadcast seed for.

Any input?
