My story

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

Boomer is a little ray of sunshine, and he will add so much to your life with his cheerful personality. He races around, spins, jumps, runs with his little stubby legs so fast and is very treat motivated.
He's very much a chihuahua, typical clinger but also doesn't want picked up or manhandled.
He has the absolute best zoomies when he's burning energy and teasing the bigger dogs. He loves toys and spends a lot of time hiding out in his fort with all his stuffies he likes to hump on.
Boomer is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, no parasites.
He does well on leash for the most part but can struggle with getting hooked up or a harness on.
He's crate trained and is fine hanging out in one for a while. He loves a wading pool in summer.
Boomer is located in West Richland, Washington and he's well worth the trip to meet him.
He's very treat motivated and will do almost anything for a piece of lung, liver, heart or whatever is available. He knows how to fetch toys, can sit, we're working on shake and lay down. He sleeps on me or next to me every night. He knows to curl up beside me when it's time to sleep and sometimes I wake up to him being the little spoon.
He loves to be outside and once we get a doggy door installed he should be considered potty trained, currently he will use his pads when he can't get outside in time. He's a great little man dog.
I promise he's going to brighten your day.
Boomers adoption fee is $400 and his application link is https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/owner-surrender/HAWA-A-72
He weighs around 19 pounds. His current foster momma is always willing to have him visit or you can foster him to see if he's a good fit in your home.

More about this rescue

People need to rehome animals for various reasons, including changed circumstances, a bad match between the pet and the family, and a desire to help an animal they have rescued find a forever home. Most conventional Animal Rescues are overwhelmed by the need, and people can wait a long time for help. Municipal Shelters do the best they can, but often euthanize "surplus" pets and, even at best, usually cannot offer an environment that makes people feel good about dropping off animals they care about. Advertising animals on Craigslist is potentially risky, especially for people with limited experience in finding quality forever homes.

Our goal is to provide support for individuals who want to help the animals in their care find the right forever home, and who either cannot find help from a Rescue or choose to work independently. We have years of experience actively volunteering for successful Rescue organizations in a senior capacity, and are well equipped to support and advise animal lovers.

We do NOT support backyard breeding, but will help individuals with "accidental litters", on condition that they have their dogs sterilized to ensure no repetition of these accidents.

We have established relationships with conventional Rescues throughout Washington, and where appropriate will help people place their pets with these Rescues.

We provide:
* A trustworthy connection between releasing owners and potential adopters
* Advice and assistance in ensuring that pets offered for adoption are healthy, sterilized and up-to-date on vaccinations
* Personal evaluation of all pets in our program, as needed (We make an effort to meet all the pets in our program but may initially rely on releasing owners for information. Potential adopters may request an evaluation at no charge if they have concerns.)
* Advice and support with the adoption process (including writing pet profiles and taking photographs and video for marketing pets to serious potential adopters, identifying good homes, background checks, documentation, participation in adoption events, setting adoption fees, etc)
* Counseling and other support, as needed (including home visits to potential adopters, provision of food and equipment, funding for vet care, rehabilitation advice, introductions to conventional rescues, etc)
