My story

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

Animal Profile:  Ruffles is a 1-year-old Maltese who ended up in the shelter as a stray. Even though he was scared, his sweet personality quickly shone through! He was friendly with everyone he met and got along great with other dogs. Before his freedom ride, Ruffles got a much needed grooming makeover and is now feeling his best.

This happy little guy is ready to start his new life and find his forever home here in the PNW!

Foster Update: coming soon!

MA 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. 

Apply Online: www.DogGoneSeattle.org/adoption-application

Animal History: This dog was rescued from Angel of Rawley Foundation in California, arriving to foster care in Seattle on 10/19 via Wiggle Butts transport. This dog will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.
