Brutus
Miniature (or tweenie) Dachshund
12 months old
Male/Neutered (just
recently)/shots current
Brindle dapple
15 lbs
Its very nice to meet you... I think. You see I am a young boy who has some trust issues but am hoping for permanent, responsible, loving home I can call my very own.
Could that be you?
As you can see... I am VERY handsome...I am fully crate trained, potty trained and LOVE to go on walks. I enjoys toys that squeak and ones I can chew on.
I need a quiet home where I can settle in and begin to get some consistency in my life. Training will be a must for me... it will be a requirement for any new guardian of mine to put me through a positive reward based training class. My foster home is trying to teach me the basics... its all new to me!
I am just waiting for someone to tell me what the rules are, I am eager to know !
A home with no kids or grand kids is best for me.
I will need lots of time and commitment from you, but I promise to be the best little guy I can!
Brutus has a great new Dad, now residing in Langley, B.C. Canada

Jacquelyn
Bichon/poodle
Female/spayed/shots current
7 years old
9 lbs
Jacquelyn
(Jacqui) is cuddlebug, just waiting for the right person to take her home and
spoil her. She loves people, riding in cars and curling up next to you. She is
definitely a “girly girl” and loves her little hair ribbons and pink collar.
But she is not a push over. If she can’t get to her mom her little “whoop,
whoop” bark lets you know that you have forgotten something.
Jacquelyn
was turned into the shelter as a stray (which everyone who has met her has a lot
of trouble believing). She was adopted but then returned because the adopter
said she had had a seizure and “they didn’t want to deal with it”.
We have seen no seizures while she is in foster care. She does have dry
eye and the beginnings of cataracts (though she sees just fine at present).
Jacqui
gets along with resident dogs and tolerates neighborhood children loving on her
but she is really only interested in her person. So if you are interested in a
baby to spoil and take everywhere with you, Jacquie is your girl.

Dot (nka Phoebe)
Chihuahua
Female/spayed/shots current
5 years old
4 lbs
Sweet and extremely loving little girl Chi, just waiting to be the center of your world. This beauty came from a puppy mill where she was not worth anything to them anymore as she stopped producing puppies...
She knows that she has got it good now! She plays well with other small dogs and is fine with cats. Dot loves her toys and enjoys your reaction when she throws them up into the air! She is potty trained and will use wee pads if you ask her to. She is crate trained but would prefer your bed. Due to her size expect to have multiple sets of mini stairs all over your house leading up to the sofa and bed... her legs are too fragile to jump down that far- as with many Chi.
Small dog experience
will be a must for her and preference will be given to people with
Chihuahua experience.
This girl was indeed blessed to have found a super home in Woodinville, WA
(Adopted Oct.11.07)
Keegan
Long haired Chihuahua
Male (soon to be neutered)/shots current
2 years old
4 lbs
This is one ADORABLE lil boy, loving, sweet, playful, inquisitive, happy
fellow. He would love a playmate of similar size, he has lived with
cats. He does need work on housetraining...but he is learning. Great
lil fellow. Due to his tiny size, adult home only.
This adorable boy has a
wonderful home in Camano Island, WA

Bianca & Timmie (mother and son)
Rat Terrier/Chihuahua
Bianca (app 4-5 years old) Timmie (app. 2 years)
17 & 18 lbs
There
is a place for us....Somewhere a place for us
Bianca
and her son Timmie have had quite a journey. We don't really know the beginning
of the journey; the part we know started in a cage in the infamous
Eventually
after about a year there, in the yards and dog runs, with food and water but
little human contact, she was rescued again. This time Animal Control came in
and ordered the place closed and the dogs moved. Other rescues came in and took
the dogs in that they had room for. Timmie and Bianca again were lucky, they
were taken into terrier rescue. However it soon became clear that this rescue
had overreached itself and then the call went out. No one seemed to want the
"rat terrier mixes" so Tim and Bianca and a couple of their doggie
friends had only a couple of weeks to find homes or their lives would be over.
That was when the call came from
So once
again these 2 (with a few other dogs) were shoved in a crate and moved on. This
time they went on a plane and when they finally reluctantly left their crates
they were in a house. Timmie, now 1 1/2 had never been in a house; for Bianca it
had been years.
They
ran into a corner and huddled together watching the other dogs. Finally things
seemed quiet and they peeked around the corner and saw a familiar sight...a
yard. They ran outside...OK they knew what this was. They explored and met their
new pack, but as it got dark the other dogs left. They ran in a door where there
was a light. Timmie and Bianca edged closer and closer watching but then ran
back into the yard where they felt at home...
That
was 9 months ago. Now both Timmie and Bianca enjoy living in the house. They
play with toys, with each other and Timmie loves playing with the other young
dogs. They are still a bit shy. Bianca doesn't come and ask for pets but likes
to go for rides and is good on a leash. Timmie runs up and wants pets and then
streaks away. They love their chewies, toys and treats. They are fairly well
house trained. Timmie still needs some work on a lead and they would both love
more individual attention. These 2 are devoted to each other. They sleep in the
same bed, eat from the same bowl and if they are separated for longer than a few
minutes the greeting is like long lost loves. These two waifs deserve a home of
their own where they can grow old together and continue to learn all the reasons
dogs love their owners. Can you offer a place for them?

Selena (nka Muffin)
Cairn Terrier
Female/spayed/shots current
App. 3 years old
10 lbs
Selena is a very small Cairn, as you can see by the middle picture (in
relationship to the person's hand)
Selena is just a doll, she has a fantastic temperament, she is playful but not
hyper...would like to sleep with her person if she could. She is
housetrained, does very well with other dogs, and she appears to just love
everyone. If temperament could win a prize, this girl would walk away with
the trophy.
Selena has not had a good start in life, she came into rescue in horrible shape,
her fur is now coming back in, she was almost bald. She has been tested
for thyroid and mange, all negative..so we are just dealing with allergies, she
must continue on an allergy diet. She also does have dry eye, our vet was
surprised at one so young...but sometimes when these babies are not cared for,
these issues happen. She will need daily medication for her eyes...but
this girl is so worth it, she will bring happiness and laughter into your home.
Muffin has two fantastic and endearing Dads, who adore her, residing in Seattle,
WA
(Adopted Nov.18/07)
Tucker
Maltese/Pomeranian (Maltipom)
Male/neutered/shots current
2 years old
7 lbs
*sadly Tucker passed to the bridge Feb/19*
Tucker is a cutie pie with a personality to match. He loves to play and wants nothing more than to be with his foster humans. He will follow us around, or sit next to us and watch TV. He can be a little yippy, but he will settle once you ask him too. He will need to learn all of his basic commands, so a puppy class would be wonderful for him and I think he would enjoy it. Tucker is working hard on his housebreaking and is very eager to please. He is being confined behind a baby gate when his foster family is not at home and he is very good about using the wee wee pads.
Tucker has a lot of energy and would do well with a little playmate similar in size and breed. If you scratch under his chin or rub his belly, he will give you as many kisses as you'd like. He is coming along and doing much better on the leash. Due to his small size, no young children please.
Tucker has a great new family residing in Tacoma, WA
(Adopted Nov. 20/07)
Molly
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Female (spay date Nov.19/07)
App 2 years old
7 lbs
I did not know or ever see a Cavalier so tiny and petite...again I have to say
this girl is TINY...next to her companions Rocky and Darby, she looks like a
baby, any one who has meet her, can't believe she is fully grown.
Molly is an absolute sweetheart, she will crawl into your arms and heart
immediately. In the one picture, she is literally falling asleep in my
hands. When these babies first came into rescue they were separated, until
coming into my foster care...Molly cried in two different homes for a couple of
days, but once she came here, rejoining the other Cavaliers, she has not uttered
a sound...it will be in Molly's best interest to be rehomed with a Cavalier or similar
breed...Molly would love to sleep with you, and also be with you as much as she
can...if you meet her you will be in love...
Molly has a new sister Cavalier, and a
family who adores her, residing in Tacoma, WA
(Adopted Nov. 20/07)
Darby
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Male/neutered/shots current
App. 2-3 years old
*Darling Darby passed to the bridge
suddenly from heart failure in Aug/12, his parents mourn his loss, and miss
their precious boy so much*
Darby is quite friendly, his whole body wiggles in glee when you pay attention
to him..he is a sweetheart..he can also be a bit tentative and unsure, but that
all stems from his former life, and he will need a little bit of patience and
time to make him feel completely at home and loved. Darby had a horrible
skin reaction to the antiseptic they put on his tummy when he was
neutered...this boy does have sensitive skin, and from watching around his
mouth, I believe he may have some sensitivity to some foods, it is not showing
like allergies that I am used to in Shih Tzu and Lhasa, but his mouth after
eating can turn a bit pinkish..so this will need to be watched.
I feel also, Darby will do best in a home with another dog, and a Cavalier is
preferred...as all three do the Cav huddle and sleep on top of each other...dogs
coming from their situation will always do better having a companion.
Darby has a new doxie brother Bailey, and two great
parents..."thank you Jan and David" residing in Lopez Island, WA
(Adopted Nov.28/07)
Rocky (nka Murphy)
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Male/neutered/shots current
App. 3 years old
*Murphy passed to the bridge Nov.24/12
from heart failure*
May you now be romping in endless grounds of beautiful things to investigate and
not have a shred of fear of anything
Rocky is a sweetheart, he and his companions all came from the same place...they
have not had the loving life they deserved. Rocky is a sweetheart, but he
is shy, this gets better as time goes on...he wants to be loved and love
you...he has that wonderful gaiety that Cavs possess...he just needs time and
patience to overcome his past. He knows a dog door immediately, going in
and out, but is afraid of coming in a regular door...we think he and his
companions lived in a kennel with a dogdoor access, but "taboo" on
entering the home.
Rocky as well as his companions will do better if going to a home that has
another dog, a Cavalier would be preferred...they all do the wonderful Cavalier
huddle, sleeping on top of each other...I do not believe these three have a
strong bond, but a strong kinship to their breed.
Murphy was adopted to a wonderful woman, residing in Aberdeen, WA
