**About Mini:** Thank you for your interest in adopting Mini. Please know that Mini is an international rescue through Taiwan. When your application is approved, you will need to pick her up from the airport - such as SFO, SEA, JFK, LAX, IAH, YVR, etc. International adoption is not a complicated process and we‘ve done the process for many years. We would be happy to explain to you how the process works. Mini's Rescue Story Personality: Mini is absolutely the most perfect FMD (Formosan Mountain Dog) we have ever encountered. No word describes her better than "perfect." Mini was once tied up with a heavy chain outside a house. The house was empty—no one lived there. The owner had simply tied Mini and another dog there, often leaving them without food or water. Since both dogs were chained and unable to forage, they could only bark for help. It was these barks that a member of our rescue organization heard while passing by. The rescuer tried to find the owner but quickly realized the house was abandoned. Neighbors said the owner only came by occasionally. Because the dogs were chained on private property right by the door, the rescuers couldn't take them immediately, so they committed to bringing them food every day. One day, the rescuer saw Mini wandering outside alone. Unsure why she had been abandoned, Mini was just moving aimlessly, sniffing for food, and even approaching people for attention. When she saw the rescuer from a distance, Mini recognized her. She quickly ran over and immediately lay on the ground, rolling onto her belly to show affection. Knowing Mini had been deliberately abandoned, the rescuer took her home immediately. What makes Mini so incredible is how incredibly smart and friendly she is. She immediately learned to use pee pads indoors and was accurate every time. Her calm, non-confrontational, and incredibly optimistic personality means she gets along wonderfully with people (including children), cats, and other dogs! Mini's rescuer summarizes her by saying: "Goofy, great natured, and very easy to care for." This perfect personality makes her an ideal match for both first-time and experienced families. Mini spent her early life chained up and hungry. Now, she is ready to find her forever home—a home that can give her the warmth and love she has always deserved. If you are interested in Mini, please contact us anytime!

Batman is a gorgeous, happy boy who is energetic and looking for a home with a strong leader who is active and will keep him busy and engaged. His age is estimated to be 2-3 years old and he’s approximately 80-90lbs. In April, Batman was found dumped in a remote park in Snoqualmie, along with another German Shepherd mix, Robin. Batman wasn’t neutered when he was first found and had some attitude, wanting to do things on his own terms. He has since been neutered and more importantly, he’s spent quite a bit of time at board and train. He is now a total love bug but will need an owner with power breed experience that can lead him instead of letting him lead them. Batman loves the ladies, and would do well living with a female dog that he could play with. Robin, who he adores, is also available for adoption and while they can be adopted separately, they’d be happy to be back together. Batman is mostly indifferent with male dogs as long as they are not intact. He may be able to live with a male dog, but he’ll need to be tested with any dogs already in the family. With a lot of energy to burn, he’d love to be a running buddy or hiking buddy, NEVER off leash, or have a huge, fenced yard where he can play fetch with his favorite toys. He does know how to settle down and just chill too but understand, he will need his exercise or he will likely get up to no good. Batman is currently in a home with younger children and has been great with them, but they are also very dog savvy, so we recommend older children but are happy to discuss on a case by case basis. We have not yet evaluated Batman with cats other than at a distance, but he hasn’t shown any interest so far.

Shepherd Smarts + Husky Sparkle = Sol ☀️ Hi, I’m Sol! About 2 years old and 52 lbs of sweet, cheerful, love bug. I’m the kind of girl who’s happiest when life includes fresh air, a routine, and someone I can really trust and bond with. I came from a tough start, rescued just in time from a high-kill shelter, and I’ve been doing the brave work of learning that people can be safe and life can be good. What you’ll love about me: I’m super quick to learn and I do best when you give me clear guidance. I already know sit and shake, I’m happy to hang out by myself in the house as long as there’s a comfy couch to nap on and I got my exercise. I don’t destroy anything in the house; only occasionally treats myself with any snacks you leave around 😉 I can also sleep in my crate overnight, and I’m great at telling you when I need to go outside to potty. I especially love pets and bonding time with my human! My vibe: puppy kisses + sniff walks + play time + snuggle time I’m an adventure kid at heart; hikes, exploring, sniffing trails, all of it. And if you have a playful, high-energy dog my size, it’s even better. I love playtime and would absolutely thrive with a matured dog sibling who matches my energy. I can be very enthusiastic when meeting new dogs, so we’re practicing calmer greetings on walks and I’m improving quickly with consistency. I’m cat-curious and making real progress at my foster home. Recently I stayed calm longer around resident kitties, didn’t bark until a kitty hissed first 😅, and instead of trying to chase, I followed at a slower pace. I’ll still need thoughtful slow intros and guidance, but I’m showing I can learn. My best match: I’m looking for a home with: • a confident, steady human who enjoys training, routine and needs a partner in crime! • an active lifestyle (sniff walks, hikes, enrichment) • I could be your on and only dog or have a playful husky or similar energy sibling. I have enjoyed playing with huskies and shepherd mixes I met at my foster homes. If you want a dog who brings lots of joy, cuddles, keeps you moving, and becomes deeply connected to her person, look right into your eye, I might be the one you’ve been waiting for! Please contact my rescue PawesomeBaby to plan a meet and greet! ✨🐾 You can find more photos and videos of me on Instagram: @PawesomeBaby —————————————————————————- About Sol: —————————————————————————- • Age: approx 1.5 - 2 yr • Weighs 52 lb • Potty trained at foster home. • People friendly • Dog friendly You will be adopting a dog who got the care listed below - • Spay/neuter • Rabies, DHPP, Lepto, Bordetella vaccines • Either negative fecal test or dewormed • Wellness checkup, Heartworm, blood tests • Microchip registration with AKC reunited • Lots of tender loving care at amazing foster home! • Professional training help with leash walking We are looking for adopters in Washington state or BC Canada. We may consider neighboring states AB or OR, if it’s a perfect match lifestyle and you are willing to drive. Please contact to schedule a meetup! Her adoption fee is USD 400 (CAD 500). We charge an adoption fee for our precious dogs, to make sure they go to a good home who can afford caring for them as a family member. Dog ownership is a lifetime commitment of over 10-15 yrs. Training: —————- She can get some help with leash walking and excitement/ frustrated greeting seeing dogs on walks. We are working with trainers to guide her. We’ll share all the information you need to continue the routine her foster mom had been keeping. And connect you to the trainers Sol works with in both BC and WA. Training Resources: ————————————— Regardless of who you adopt, we recommend training your pup regularly, to build an everlasting bond with your pup and help them continue to be an amazing canine citizen. We can provide a list of reputable trainers who use positive reinforcement methods to help you establish a training protocol and an everlasting bond with your newly adopted furbaby. —————————————————————————- [IMPORTANT] —————————————————————————- Below listed requirements are for any dogs we adopt out, meant for everyone’s safety. • If you have other dogs, then you must also be knowledgeable and have good hands on experience with running a multi-dog home to be able to adopt a dog from us. What’s expected of the adopter is just keeping basic house rules like (1) keep the dogs apart when feeding, monitor & put away left over food, (2) help them build mutual trust before leaving alone with treats, toys around (3) keep dogs out of kitchen when handling food etc • As with any dog, earn their trust around food handling. This is an essential training for every dog, so they learn to trust their new human. It takes only a couple of practice sessions around meal time with most dogs with no history of food guarding. Teaching to sit, then hand-feeding food & high value treats is one of the best ways to earn trust. • If you have children at home, they should be at least 8+ yrs, and know to safely & respectfully interact with dogs, to be considered for adoption. We think families with younger children will likely not have the time needed to exercise and nourish a new dog. And the time needed to train little kids to safely interact with dogs, read their body language & respect their personal space. Most dogs do not enjoy little ones clinging to them, pulling their fur, crawling or lying on them. We do not want to risk the safety of neither your child nor our dog. Follow @dogmeets_baby trainer on Instagram to learn more on this topic :-) Of course, we understand there are exceptions and some parents are on top with this. Please contact us if you are one of those exceptional parents :) • We discourage the use of choke, pinch, prong collars on our dogs. Training to walk on a well fitted no-pull harness is encouraged. All our dogs come with a “no-pull” harness. If needed for training, you can use humane collars like regular buckle collars, martingale collars or ‘gentle leader’.
