My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Aberdeen Scottish Terrier Rescue is a registered 501(c)3
Web Site: www.aberdeenstr.com

***MUST SUBMIT APPLICATION before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thank You for your cooperation***
Please read listings fully to the end before applying for one of our beloved rescues.

WE ARE NOT A SHELTER; WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS.
Please do not contact us to look at a dog. We will contact you once we have reviewed your completed application if we think your home might be a good fit. A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog.

We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes around WA state & Oregon but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA.

Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Zelle, PayPal, if using PayPal the potential adopter will have to pay the fees & charges with PayPal.

Look at this beauty & the horror she has endured. Soul destroying to think of what she has been through & yet she still loves human beings even after everything they have done to her. We cannot even begin to imagine what Kaisa witnessed & heard when she was at the slaughterhouse, how Kaisa ended up in a slaughterhouse for human consumption & yes you did read that correctly, we will never know? What we do know is, she was pulled out of there by our outstanding Chinese rescuer just in time. It’s absolutely soul destroying to think about the horrific situation she ended up in. Working with one of our truly devoted, dedicated & absolutely outstanding Chinese rescuers she rescued Kaisa & many others for us. Without this beloved rescuer going in & getting Kaisa out, her fate was a torturous death. She transferred Kaisa to her own rescue & covid had hit & the waiting began. Along with Kaisa & many other sweet souls she got well & they waited to come to the US. This became a very extremely expensive situation with covid. We were finally able to bring everyone back through cargo which is an astronomical expense per dog, but we believe every sweet soul such as Kaisa & her & friends deserves to be loved & cherished & given the chance to have a wonderful life. On top of this wait, we had to wait an extra 9 months to bring these babies. They were supposed to arrive in October 2022.
Now Kaisa is looking for a special family to cherish her & be patient with her & remember what this beautiful soul has been through & a family that meets all her needs.

Kaisa was rescued by our truly amazing Chinese rescue friends & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Chinese rescue who we are so extremely thankful for what they do day in & day out for these babies, we cannot thank them enough.

Kaisa was bought back to the USA where she is now a US citizen & is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find her new loving devoted forever home.

This girl is so stunning inside & out & she has come along way since she arrived from China. The reality is she had to learn everything new here. We put her into a daycare & tested her with countless dogs & she has done amazing. She loves both woman & men. This girl is the biggest sweetheart you will ever meet. She is so forgiving. She just wants you to love her & she will love you back. She adores being hugged & held because the reality is we are the first real people in her life to show her such true love & affection.

When she arrived she was absolutely putrid, it’s so sad with how stinking filthy she was.
She was a little uncertain with her baths at first but once she realized everything was ok she really enjoyed them & did good being dried with the hairdryer. She is now used to be groomed also.

Kaisa is still learning to walk on harness & leash considering we believe we are the first people to teach her how to go on walks but would still need to be taught. Kaisa has been taught to walk on a slip lead. Kaisa is a rescue & will need patience, time & understanding. Kaisa adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing her, cleaning her eyes, grooming her, she loves it all. She also does extremely well being touched in general & adores receiving love.

Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Kaisa & we have been excited to change her world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment. She likes laying on you when she is with you or on comfy blankets.
Kaisa has learnt to ride in the car & does well in the car & enjoys a good car ride. She is such an easy & sweet going, loving little lady. With Kaisa we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lady only. Please do not apply with the intent to crate this girl. We are also looking for a forever home for Kaisa where someone is home during the day or she can go with her people wherever possibly he can go with them.
Did we mention this girl loves a good outfit too.
Kaisa is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love her as she should be loved & be very patient with her & understanding.


Kaisa has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & she is currently with other dogs & enjoys their company so we are looking for a home where she can be with another dog or dogs. She can be found at times snuggled up to her foster siblings. A fully fenced backyard is mandatory for Kaisa’s new forever home along with another dog friend. Please do not apply saying your neighbors have a dog or family members or you will take her to places where there are other dogs. That will not work, another dog or dogs is mandatory.

Kaisa is now roughly 14 lbs & is 2 years old & female schnauzer & what she is mixed with we are not sure? She is spayed, she had a dental/scale & polish along with dental x-rays. He had gum surgery & 1 minor premolars, 1 incisor & 3 intermediate removed. She had a mammory mas tested with a biopsy but what was underneath was a hernia that was repaired. She is microchipped, up to date on her shots including DHLPP, Bordatella, rabies & dewormed.

We have spent far more on Kaisa with bringing her to the US with her travel airfare costs, $2200 alone, bringing her through NY into Seattle, without anything else then on top of that paying for her medical care & boarding fees, including a dental/scale & polish, shots, microchip etc, than her adoption fee comes close to covering.

Kaisa has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals. We have have not had Kaisa with small children so we do not recommend children, but it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & animals.

We were not there when Kaisa was conceived so we do not know who her parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think her breed is.

As with all of our rescues & Kaisa’s friends she will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Kaisa potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond.

We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying.

Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Kaisa & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit using Webex due to covid & followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Kaisa who understands her needs & that meet all the requirements for this lovely little lady.
Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately.

Kaisa has an adoption fee of $1585 & is ready for her truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what she has been through.
