My story

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

Animal Profile: Rea is a 1-year-old, 10-pound Chihuahua mix with the sweetest personality. She was sadly confiscated and taken to the shelter after her owner was arrested. Due to overcrowding, Rea quickly found herself at risk and in urgent need of a safe place.

When we saw her photos and videos—her wagging tail, gentle eyes, and friendly charm—we knew we had to help her! Rea is now safe and will be arriving in Washington on 11/13. We can’t wait to welcome this little sweetheart to the PNW and help her find the loving forever home she deserves!

Foster Update:

Rea is a sleek, mostly black (with the cutest small patches of white) adorably hilarious little lowrider who is coming along nicely on her leash and crate training. We're working on her leash manners and other basic command training. She's great in the crate - sleeps through the night and is good through the day as long as she gets her proper regular potty breaks. She loves running around the yard and doesn't seem to mind the PNW weather. In fact, on walks she actively seeks out splashing through puddles, the lil stinker!

Playtime entails running around the back yard, chasing balls but not bringing them back yet, and enjoying stuffies or chew time either in her crate, out in the room, or on a raised cot. She can entertain herself or will play with the other foster dog in her foster home. She's always up for a game of tug!

Rea can be a little whiny in her crate even when her person is in the room, worse when they leave the room or house, but is responding well to interventions and seems to settle after about 10 minutes after her people leave the house. She's young but very trainable as she's both affection and food motivated. She wants to be close to her person and will make a funny, fun, cutie little companion for some lucky person or family. She could do well as an only dog or with a dog companion who can support showing her how to be part of a pack. With continued leadership and loving guidance, she's sure to be an awesome doggo!

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, recent exam with a veterinarian, and microchip with lifetime registration. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. All adoption fees go toward the care of all dogs in our rescue.
