Meet Gravis 💛
Gravis is a 2-year-old Chiweenie (Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) weighing about 15 pounds — the perfect compact companion with a huge heart.
In December, six dogs were heartbreakingly abandoned in a cemetery. Only four were found alive — Tombey, Lillith, Wednesday, and sweet Gravis — and thankfully they made their way to safety. Gravis hasn’t let his rough start dim his joyful spirit one bit.
Gravis is an adorable blend of playful puppy energy and devoted lap dog. He’s happiest when he’s:
Wrestling with another playful pup
Tossing around (and proudly de-stuffing!) his beloved toys
Going for walks or zooming around the yard
Sunbathing like a tiny king
Snoozing peacefully in your lap at the end of the day
He still has some charming puppy habits — like “helping” with gardening by digging small holes, collecting socks for safekeeping in his bed, and bravely alerting you to suspicious birds. On the bright side, he’s an excellent kitchen floor cleaner (no crumb left behind), a loyal bathroom security guard, and a dedicated playmate who will happily tire himself — and his doggy sibling — out.
Gravis bonds especially closely with the woman in the home and may be timid around men at first. He does not have a mean bone in his body. He is potty trained, incredibly sweet, and keeps us laughing every single day.
His ideal home would include:
Another playful dog to wrestle and romp with
A secure yard to run and explore
Children age 8 or older (he gets nervous around younger kids)
A patient family who will let his confidence continue to grow
He gets along well with most dogs and does fine with cats.
Gravis is ready for his forever home — one filled with playtime, sunshine, and plenty of cozy lap naps.

Could Gravis be the joyful little shadow you’ve been waiting for? 🐾

More about this rescue
Smidget Rescue was founded in December of 2010. We started off saving small dogs off the euthanasia list in California shelters. We have evolved over the years and now concentrate
on local Washington dogs; from local shelters, direct owner surrenders and strays. We have have found homes for over 3000 dogs since inception.
Our mission is to help rehome homeless and unwanted dogs in Washington State by providing the resources to enable proper matchmaking for the dog and the new family. We do not do same day adoptions because our process requires an application process with reference/background and physical home checks. This process ensures we meet the goals of our mission.
