Bichon Frise puppies and dogs in Seattle, Washington

Meet Haneul   1 year old | Spayed Female | Bichon Frise | 3.9 kg   Sometimes all a dog needs is one person who won’t give up.   Haneul was purchased from a pet shop as a two-month-old puppy by an elderly owner in his 70s. As she grew into an energetic puppy, caring for her became too difficult. She was then passed from one acquaintance to another, changing homes about four times before finally being surrendered to a private shelter. The shelter later reached out to us for help finding her forever home.   Despite all the instability in her young life, Haneul has remained a sweet, affectionate little girl who is still searching for the family she can truly call her own.   Personality with People   Haneul is an affectionate cuddle bug who loves being close to her people. At home, she’ll happily ask to be picked up and can spend hours curled up comfortably on your lap.   Outdoors, however, she can be a little more reserved. In unfamiliar environments, she may hesitate around strangers at first, but once she feels comfortable, her affectionate personality quickly shines through.   She is friendly with men. She has done well meeting children. She enjoys belly rubs from people she trusts. She can be comfortably picked up and loves being held.   With Other Dogs   Haneul is a typical young Bichon with a playful spirit.   She tends to avoid dogs that are much larger than she is, but happily plays with dogs of similar size, smaller dogs, and even large puppies.   Once she gets excited, it’s zoomie time! She becomes so focused on having fun that she barely notices what’s happening around her—even if other dogs are barking. At just one year old, she’s still delightfully carefree and hasn’t quite learned all the social rules yet, which only adds to her charm.   With Cats   Haneul has not been tested with cats, but a cat assessment can be arranged upon request.   Energy Level   Like many young Bichons, Haneul enjoys several energetic zoomie sessions throughout the day.   Once she’s burned off her energy, she’s happy to play with toys, spend time with other dogs, or simply cuddle with her people. Overall, she has a moderate energy level with playful bursts of puppy excitement.   Walking   Haneul loves exploring the world through her nose and enjoys taking time to sniff during walks.   She walks nicely on leash without pulling and naturally stays close to her handler.   Additional Information   She does not guard food from people or other dogs.   While no separation anxiety has been observed, Haneul does not enjoy being alone and would do best with a family where someone is home most of the day or where she has regular companionship.   She may bark when first settling into a crate, but usually relaxes once she feels secure. She may also bark to let you know she wants something.   She is potty trained to use both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty, although she clearly prefers going outside.     Toronto Applicants Only   Haneul is expected to arrive in Toronto in mid-August with a flight volunteer.   At this time, we are only accepting applications from adopters who are able to pick her up at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).   If you’re looking for a cheerful little companion who loves to cuddle just as much as she loves to zoom around and play, Haneul may be the perfect addition to your family.

Deepu's life goals are simple: wrestle with his brother, run around in the grass, get belly rubs, chew on a good bone, and do it all again tomorrow. He's playful, cuddly, and great with other dogs. He loves car rides, does well with kids and small animals, and is still working on potty training with outside trips during the day and pee pads overnight. He's enthusiastic and affectionate without being overwhelming about it, and his foster says he's a fun, happy little dog to have around. Whoever gets Deepu is getting a full-time sunshine machine. Sunshine year round…in Seattle?! Lucky you! -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Caliper has only been in foster care for a few days, and she's already got her favorite person completely wrapped around her paw. She's sweet, curious, and has a very quiet, gentle manner about her. She's going to follow you from room to room, check in on what you're doing, decide you're pretty great, and just... stay. She's a velcro dog and has absolutely no apologies about it. And why should she? Caliper has also, for the record, not had a single indoor accident. Not one. She goes outside in her designated spot every time! She just needs her person standing nearby while she does it, which, when you think about it, is a completely reasonable request, and we respect it. She's still building confidence around loud noises and new situations, and slow introductions to other dogs will set her up for success, but the progress she's already made in just a few days is remarkable. She tolerates baths, ear cleaning, and paw handling like a champ. Caliper would thrive with a patient, loving family who's happy to be her safe place as she continues to come out of her shell. She's not the loudest dog in the room, but she is the one you can't stop thinking about after you've met her! -----

When Gabber first went to his foster home, he was scared, he ran, and he wanted absolutely nothing to do with anyone. And then (pretty quickly) he figured out that these particular humans were actually the best thing that had ever happened to him, and he has not looked back since. Now, he follows his foster mom through 95% of her day, has fully claimed a spot in her bed, and is completely, cheerfully devoted to whoever is nearest. He loves his foster's eight-year-old granddaughter, has started playing with his toys like a dog who has always known what toys are for, and will be in your lap before you've even finished sitting down. The transformation from "please don't touch me" to "please never leave" happened fast, and it’s been a joy to witness. Gabbar is, in his foster's words, pure joy. Whoever ends up with this little guy is going to be very, very lucky. -----

Coco has seen & witnessed evil in life. She was pulled out of a slaughterhouse with several of our other rescues. Soul destroying to think of what she has been through & yet she still loves human beings even after everything she has seen, heard & her previous life. We cannot even begin to imagine what Coco witnessed & heard when she was at the slaughterhouse. How Coco ended up in a slaughterhouse for human consumption & yes you did read that correctly, we will never know? What we do know is, she was pulled out of there by our outstanding Chinese rescuer just in time. Working with one of our truly devoted, dedicated & absolutely outstanding Chinese rescuers she rescued Coco & many others for us. Without this beloved rescuer going in & getting Coco out, her fate was a torturous death. We believe every sweet soul such as Coco & her friends deserves to be loved & cherished & given the chance to have a wonderful life. Now Coco is looking for a special family to cherish her & be patient with her & remember what this beautiful soul has been through & a family that meets all her needs. Coco was rescued by our truly amazing Chinese rescue friends & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Chinese rescue who we are so extremely thankful for what they do day in & day out for these babies, we cannot thank them enough. Coco was bought back to the USA where she is now a US citizen & is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find her new loving devoted forever home. For everything that Coco has been through she still loves humans & will get on her back for you to rub her belly, she loves her belly to be rubbed. She will even put her paws on you for cuddles just as she cuddles into you while sleeping next to you. She is the most beautiful soul & up for an adventure. She just wants you to love her & she will love you back. She adores being hugged & held because the reality is we are the first real people in her life to show her such true love & affection apart for a very short amount of time in China. She is a really smart girl too because on the day of arrival in her foster home she taught herself to run up hardwood stairs & follow her foster mum. When she finds people who love her they become his world. She is such a soft gentle soul her foster mum said with a very sweet personality. She loves to run & play with her foster siblings & must go to a home with another dog who will play with her. She loves a good outfit & will get ready for you to put one on her. Coco eats a clean diet, meaning raw fruits, raw vegetables, 70 % raw proteins, grains, fats & supplements. She also enjoys collagen sticks & bully sticks. All of her treats are homemade Coco has been taught to walk on harness & leash & has been doing wonderful. She would need continued work walking on her harness & leash. Coco is a rescue & will need patience, time & understanding. Coco adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing him, cleaning his eyes, grooming her, baths, the hairdryer she loves it all. She also does extremely well being touched in general & adores receiving love. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Coco & we have been excited to change her world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment. So far she has not started showing interest in toys in her foster home. Coco has learnt to ride in the car & does well in the car & enjoys a good car ride. She is such an amazing, loving little lady. With Coco we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lad only. Please do not apply with the intent to crate this girl. We are also looking for a forever home for Coco where someone is home during the day or Coco can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them. Did we mention this girl loves a good outfit too. Coco is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love her as she should be loved & be very patient with her & understanding. Coco has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & she is currently with other dogs & enjoys their company. She can be found at times snuggled up to her foster siblings & will want to sleep in bed with you & she does in her current loving foster home. She must go to a forever home with other playful dogs in the home. She will jump at the side of the bed to be picked up so she can get in. A fully fenced backyard is mandatory for Coco’s new forever home if it’s a free standing home. Coco is now roughly 15 lbs & 3 years old. She is spayed & possibly a bichon frise & what she is mixed with we are not sure? She is microchipped, up to date on her shots including DHLPP, rabies & dewormed. Once these shots expire we will not redo them except rabies as we will not over vaccinate our beloved dogs. We have spent over $2000 on Coco with bringing her to the US with her travel airfare paying for her medical care, including, shots, spay microchip etc, than her adoption fee comes close to covering. Coco has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals. We have not had Coco with small children so we do not recommend children, but it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & animals. We were not there when Coco was conceived so we do not know who her parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think her breed is. As with all of our rescues & Coco’s friends she will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Coco potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Coco & going through our process and have read her listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit using Zoom followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Coco who understands her needs & that meet all the requirements for this lovely sweet lady. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. Coco has an adoption fee of $875 & is ready for her truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what she has been through.

Meet Panda! Little Panda is around 4 years old and came to us with his friend Alexander. They did not come from a loving home but they are adjusting well in their foster homes.  Panda is a friendly boy. He loves people, loves attention and is very affectionate. He gets along well with other dogs but has not met a cat. We think he will be fine with kids too (over 8 is great). Panda is an energetic boy who loves his walks. He is not a couch potato though he can relax alongside you just fine. He does not like to be alone - which is not uncommon for rescue dogs. They are a bit unsettled and that can cause some attachment to humans he likes. He can learn to spend time alone here and there. He can bark at times and for this reason is not suitable for apartment living. He is working on potty training - he did not learn this in his previous home - and his foster mom is working hard to help him understand. He is catching on an doing well.  Panda is scheduled to be vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Meet Sammy! He and his brother Mochi came to us from Yakima at only 5 weeks old. Both boys are thriving, curious, and so playful! They sleep all night and are doing exceptionally well at going potty outside. Mo is slightly more sassy and Sam loves to cuddle, but both will be the best family pets. They have met cats and elementary aged children with great success, and they love to play with the resident dogs in their foster home. Their great passions are eating and wrestling, then passing out for a long nap. These pups will be ready to head off to their future homes at 8 weeks old. They are tiny - less than 2lb each, so will stay small as adults. Puppies this small need lots of structure and socialization to become happy and confident dogs. The pups have received their first round of vaccines, dewormer and microchips. They will be neutered as part of their adoption contract between 6-10 months of age - this is not optional. Their adoption fee is $525. We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!
