Other Small Breeds

WOW.. what a difference a day makes! Now that I am out of the shelter you can get a real sense of my personality. Sure I am a bit shy... but if you were dumped off at at shelter because your family was moving you would be a bit weary too! But now that I am in a foster home, I have settled in just fine. I love my foster mamma and papa. I am still hesitant to play with the other dogs in the house, but time will tell if I ease up on that and relax.

I would love a quiet home where walks and snuggling is what is on the agenda. I am a skinny boy- but will soon fatten up! I should be around 10 lbs when I am at a normal weigh for me. I am also housetrained.

I hope we can meet soon, because now that I know its all about trust and love, I want to open my paws to you!

Gracie

Female/spayed/shots current
18 months
17 lbs

Oh my what a wonderful lil girl. She loves to go on walks, she sometimes pulls, but easily gets corrected. She adores playing with other doggies. She loves playing with toys, she loves people. She is housetrained.

When she is not playing with doggies or toys, you will find her curled up by your feet, and when she looks at you with her liquid brown eyes, she steals your heart.

Aidan
Chinese Crested/Chihuahua
Male/neutered/shots current
18 months old
13 lbs

Aidan is a sweet wonderful boy who is looking for a forever home. Aidan loves to play both with people and with other dogs. He is house trained, has great house manners and is a great cuddler. He also loves to walk or run (one of his previous owners took Aidan on 2 mile runs daily), but is very calm and quiet in the house.

Though Aidan has been passed from family to family both around the military base and on Craig's list, he remains a loving dog who just seem to be looking for somewhere to belong. He is a loving calm sweetheart who certainly deserves to settle in with a family forever and the family who chooses to commit to this boy will be very lucky to get him.

Blake
Chihuahua/Boston terrier mix
Male/neutered/shots current
8-10 months old
15 lbs

Blake an active puppy who is learning to live in a house. He loves to be petted and has quickly learned to sit for pets and treats. He loves to play with other dogs and chase balls and toys. He loves to meet people. He is learning about car rides and walking on a leash. He is crate trained and goes to bed happily with a chew.

Blake spent his first months as a "yard dog" so he is still learning about being in a house and about house rules but he is so fast to learn new things and willing to please, that he will have a very quick learning curve. His house training is going well and he is very good at watching the other dogs and following their lead. Blake would love to have a new family with an older dog to play with. He does not do well with cats or younger children. If you have the time and love to give this darling little guy you will have an awesome pet.

He is being fostered in Seattle, WA email Furbaby Rescue for application.

Katie
Miniature Pinscher/Rat Terrier
Female/spayed/shots current
18-24 months
14 lbs/13" tall

Katie is sweet little pup who just wants somebody to love her. She adjusts quickly to new people and wiggles her way into hearts with her enthusiasm and puppy love. She gets along with other dogs and is quick to learn new skills like walking on a leash and waiting for her turn to eat. She loves to run through the house or yard with her toys or with her doggy friends and cracks her foster mom up when she lays on her back and puts her front paws behind her head.

Katie is a sensitive girl so any correction with her has to be done quietly. She is still working on potty training but is coming along well. She loves to be around other dogs around her size and does well with teens (she sleeps with a teen boy at her foster home) and women but can be a bit shy around men. Katie will be a joy to any family lucky enough to welcome her into their home.

Jack has the perfect Chihuahua personality. He is a lively little
fellow, and he happily prances around the house keeping track of his
chosen person. He also feels it's necessary to keep your house premises
secured of any invaders. You'll know someone is at the door long before
the doorbell rings. Sometimes he takes his "security" job a little to
seriously and he'll need a gentle "No" to remind him that his excessive
drama isn't necessary. He loves to cuddle, go on car rides or anywhere
his special person goes.

He likes having doggy friends and fits well into a small dog group. He enjoys his baths, is coming along well with
housebreaking, and likes his sweaters during cold weather.

Jackson is a Mommy's boy; he is not able to bond with a man and would really prefer a home with only women. Jackson isn't trusting of strangers, and he will take his time getting to know you. He doesn't want any pressure during this process, however a "treat" now and again helps. Once he deems you safe and worthy of his devotion he is all YOURS! Jack is looking for a Mommy (or two) to spend the rest of his life adoring.

Miguel
American Eskimo/Australian Shepherd
Male/neutered/shots current
11 months old
22 lbs/15 " at withers

Miguel is a beautiful active puppy who is eager to please his person.He loves toys and chews and running in the yard with the other dogs. He is learning to play ball and is working on commands. Miguel is house trained and walks fairly well on a leash. He loves to go for car rides and is good in the car

Miguel plays well with other dogs his own size though he can be a bit pushy with some smaller dogs. Miguel needs an active experienced owner who wants a dog to take hiking and to agility and is willing to do training with him. Because he is a big puppy he will not be placed with children (teens OK) or in a home without a yard.

If you have the energy and time to work with this beautiful boy you will find yourself the owner of a true “heart bandit”.

Giselle
American Rat Terrier/Jack Russell Terrier
Female/spayed/shots current
18 months old
13 lbs/13" tall

Giselle (or Gizzie) is a sweet little cuddlier who loves to play especially with her doggie foster sisters. She is animated and loving to her person and gets along well with other dogs her size. Gizzie is a clown and will do anything to get you to play with her. Though she is energetic she is NOT hyper. She settles down well when playtime is over and loves to curl up under the covers for naps.

Gizzie lived with an elderly woman who could no longer care for her. She is a bit shy with strangers but warms up quickly and her silly puppy personality comes out. Gizzie was pee-pad trained by her first owner but is quickly learning to go outside. She did not get a lot of socializing in her first home so she is just learning to out into the big world. Car rides and pet stores and doggy parks are a whole new world for Gizzie. With her puppy eagerness and love of living this little girl will open a whole new world of love to the family lucky enough to claim her.

Here in this House....
*
I will never know the loneliness I hear in the barks of the other dogs 'out
there'.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my world will not have changed.

I will never know hunger, or the fear of not knowing if I'll eat.

I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat.

I will feel the sun's heat, and the rain's coolness,

and be allowed to smell all that can reach my nose.

My fur will shine, and never be dirty or matted.

Here in this house...

There will be an effort to communicate with me on my level.

I will be talked to and, even if I don't understand,

I can enjoy the warmth of the words.

I will be given a name so that I may know who I am among many.

My name will be used in joy, and I will love the sound of it!

Here in this house...

I will never be a substitute for anything I am not.

I will never be used to improve peoples' images of themselves.

I will be loved because I am who I am, not someone's idea of who I should
be.

I will never suffer for someone's anger, impatience, or stupidity.

I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.

If I do not learn my lessons well, they will look to my teacher for blame.

Here in this house...

I can trust arms that hold, hands that touch...

knowing that, no matter what they do, they do it for the good of me;

If I am ill, I will be doctored.

If scared, I will be calmed.

If sad, I will be cheered.

No matter what I look like, I will be considered beautiful and thought to be
of value.

I will never be cast out because I am too old, too ill, too unruly, or not
cute enough.

My life is a responsibility, and not an afterthought.

I will learn that humans can almost, sometimes, be as kind and as fair as
dogs.
*

Here in this house...

I will belong.*

* I will be home. *
