My story

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

Meet sweet boy Elio! He was born 4/4/23 and is a Chiweenie (Chihuahua Dachshund mix).He is crate trained and sleeps beside his foster parents' bed at night. He is potty trained but will use a potty pad as a back up. Elio is very timid and can pee a bit when scared - he's seeking a home where he can build is confidence. Elio is a vocal boy who can be expressive when he gets excited. Elio rides in a carrier in a car and does just fine. He gets along great with other dogs and has not been around cats. His best fit home would be one with a securely fenced yard and a family that doesn’t leave him alone for long periods of time. Elio can be nippy if a person puts their face right up into there’s so if there are kids in the home, older ones are preferred who are respectful and gentle with a small dog like Elio (he weighs about 10-12 pounds). Elio would do great with a canine sibling of similar size and energy level however, he'd also thrive as an only dog being his person or family's #1. Applications: www.mikeyschance.com

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an adoption application to be filled out which includes personal references. An in-Home check by a Mikey's Chance volunteer is also performed prior to adoption. Our dogs come to the adopter "ready-to-go" with current Vet health checks, all shots and vaccinations current and the animal spayed or neutered, as well as micro-chipped.

Our adoption process can take 2-4 weeks to process as we are run completely by volunteers, all of whom work full time jobs.

Go meet their pets

We depend on a network of volunteers and fosters for the care of our dogs. The dogs are fostered primarily in Tri-Cities, WA. We often have Meet 7 Greet events at Petsmart and Paws Natural Pet Emporium LLC both in Kennewick.

To find out about these and our other events check us out on Facebook or at our website at MikeysChance.com.

More about this rescue

"Mikey's Chance" is a dog rescue organization organized under Washington State articles of Incorporation as a Non-profit Charity. We focus mainly on saving dogs that are at risk or on “Death Row” in shelters in our area, and placing them to great families. We work with individual adopters, private rescuers, and rescue organizations that share our values. All our dogs are up to date on shots, sterilized, and microchipped prior to adoption, and they are all carefully evaluated to ensure the best possible match with adopters.
