Cairn Terrier puppies and dogs in Seattle, Washington

Welcome Hannah to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 5-pound small Terrier/Cairn mixed pup. Her mom is Monica. She was on the street as a stray. We took her in to find out she was pregnant. The puppies were born in our Rescue. They have gotten lots of interaction. They are very social and friendly. Hannah is the most fluffy puppy in the rescue and she has slightly longer legs. This will make her a nice walking companion. Her coat is soft and thick. She is a fun pup to pet because of her coat. She is full of personality and very good with her litter group. She goes on a wee pad and is good in a crate. She likes all people and is not shy around strangers. Her mom is 15 pounds. We do think Hannah will be 15 pounds or less full grown. She is not a big shedder. She will make some lucky family a good pet. Anyone who adopts a puppy should not work all day every day because a puppy needs to be with their family and not home alone all day. She needs to finish up her puppy training. She will be a great dog for a social person wanting a matching puppy personality. She would be fine in a smaller condo size yard. She would be fine with other dogs. She can go with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is getting spayed, vaccinated and she will be ready for her forever home. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally. We can also use one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Welcome Foxy Lady to CCPAL Rescue. She is a Corgi/Cairn is our best estimate on her breed. She is 15 months old. She has a longer coat and weight about 25 pounds. She should be full grown and if anything may fill out some. She will be a small dog full grown. She is good with other dogs, good in a crate and getting used to Rescue life. She has an adorable underbite and her teeth are in great shape. We think her best home would be with someone who has had a Corgi and has the time to finish her training. I would say moderate to active family is best. She could be with kids. We think 8 or older is best. She likes the women at the shelter and warms up more slowly to new people. She readily accepts women. She will be worked with on her leash manners and she has ridden in the car without problems. Her best home would be a more quiet one that she can get more one on one attention. She would be great for an older couple, or single person that wants a nice companion. She doesn’t seem to be the social butterfly but very content with being home. If you think this sounds like a good fit for you, put in an application. She is a wonderful dog and a head turner for sure. Her adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200.

✨ Meet Emma — Proof that joy can survive anything ✨ If you want to meet a dog whose soul defies everything she’s been through… meet Emma. Found as a stray in Mexico with only patches of fur left after severe mange, this little girl is living, wagging proof that happiness lies within, no matter the circumstances. At just 3.5 years old, Emma has already endured more than most dogs ever will. People walked past her. People looked away. Some still do — because her skin still has a few bald spots, and that’s all they see. But what they miss is everything that makes Emma extraordinary: 💛 The way she lights up a room with her fast, joyful spins when it’s mealtime 💛 How she leaps with pure happiness every time she sees you 💛 The gentle way she tucks herself against your side, asking for nothing but love 💛 Her resilience, her softness, her unbroken spirit Emma is still shy and crouches when someone approaches too quickly or when loud noises remind her of a past she should’ve never had. Only she knows what people did to her before she was rescued… but even after all of that, she chose to trust again. And now she deserves the best home in the whole wide world. One filled with patience, kindness, tenderness, and someone who understands that healing takes time — but loving her comes easy. Emma is safe. She is loved. And she is ready for her forever person. If you see her heart before her scars, you’ll never find a more loyal, grateful, or beautiful companion.

💛🩵Meet Noeul/Frankie💛🩵— A Sweet Boy With A Rough Start, Now Ready To Be Loved Forever✨❤️ Here are more photos and videos of Noeul/Frankie: December 18th 2025: https://www.instagram.com/p/DSb4x4MES8c/? July 27th 2026 posting: hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/p/DbUa5WOG9-w/?hl=en&img_index=1 Most recent postings, after assessment from us: https://www.instagram.com/p/Dbe2hmdG10A/?hl=en&img_index=1 https://www.instagram.com/p/Dby0tquSUbN/?hl=en Noeul/Frankie is looking for his second chance in finding his forever family.✨ He is in Seattle and is looking for a foster by 8/15 or his forever family!🌷🌼❤️ Posting from 7/27/2026: Noeul/Frankie is a very sweet boy who is looking for a second chance to find his forever family. Noeul had spent a wonderful 6 months with his dedicated foster where he was the perfect dog, who showed no signs of aggression or behavioral issues. From rescue to foster he has had no issues. 🌷From Noeul's foster: "Even though it was for just six months, I truly believed I had met the best dog in the world. Sending such a wonderful baby up for adoption made me incredibly sad, yet so happy at the same time. Before coming to me, this poor baby had already cheated death, been abandoned. When Noeul finally came to me, he was just the most lovely, precious angel."🌷 After a couple of months settling in to his adoptive home, Frankie and his new doggy brother stopped getting along. His family believed it started over dropped food outside. After consulting with a trainer, they said that there could have been other signs and interactions that were building up that might have been missed. Frankie has never fought over food with his fosters 14 year old poodle, or other dogs he had spent time with. Frankie has always been polite. He even waited for his fosters dog to finish eating first before he took his turn. So, this sudden behavior was very shocking to us. One of the main reasons his family chose him was because they saw his gentle nature with other dogs. Both Frankie and his doggy brother have been equally aggressive toward each other and they seem to just not get along. So much so that they have to be separated in the home. After his family got help from a local trainer, some behaviors between the two dogs improved, but some didn't. If living together peacefully cannot be achieved by mid- August, Frankies family has made the very sad and hard decision to return him back to us. This way, we can assess his triggers and bring him back to the place he was before the incident that started it. So, we can find a family that is a better fit for him. 🌸From his adoptive family: "Frankie is a wonderful dog! We have had the great experience of getting to know him over the past four months. He is full of love for his family and greatly enjoys being picked up. Greeting each day with enthusiasm, he is especially excited about his daily walks. He rides well in a car and sleeps through the night. He will curl up next you when he tires and keeps a watchful eye on you as you go about your day. Frankie will add great joy to your life--he has to ours. We love him very much, but unfortunately, we have not been able to resolve an issue he and our other dog have with each other. We want him to find a home with a family where he can truly relax and be himself."🌸 July 31st, 2026 posting, after assessment from us: 🌼"After spending time with him and observing his behaviors with us, our dogs, and other dogs; we believe that Frankie is ready to find his forever family. Frankie needs a quiet environment where he is the only dog, so he can decompress at his own pace to feel fully settled. With some training and after he's feeling fully comfortable, a non-dominant doggy sibling could be possible, but for now, he needs to be the only child. Frankie needs a foster by August 15th, so he can have that second chance at finding a forever family that is the right fit for him. He is ready for adoption if his needs are met. We are looking for a foster because the timeline might be too soon to find his forever family. When I first met Frankie(Noeul), back in April, we spent the whole day together along with his foster mom, another rescue dog (Mocha, now Nippet) and our dogs. He was so calm and gentle-natured. He greeted me with a sweet look while he sat quietly next to Nippet on foster moms lap. On Wednesday, when I met him again, he did not greet me like the same dog as he did back then. He was on edge, irritated, and upset. His adoptive mom said he is unable to ever fully relax due to the situation with their other dog. However, after some time together, he warmed up and we had a lot of fun. When we dropped him off back with his momma, he was rubbing against me like a kitty and kissing my chin. So, Im feeling so positive and hopeful now. With a peaceful environment and some training, he will be a happy and content dog once again. I do want to say it was very clear that Frankie loves his adoptive mom very much, and she loves him. Moving him to another family will be incredibly hard on him again. This time, it has to be forever."🌼 💛🏡The ideal family & home for Noeul/Frankie: Adult household, low traffic home. Commit to using positive reinforcement and routine-based training. Give the time and space needed to build trust without rushing the process. Semi-active to active family that will enjoy bringing him along to parks, outings, and nature adventures. He loves being outside and exploring! No more than 4-6 hours left alone each day. A fenced yard. About 2 walks a day + potty and play in the yard. __________ Noeul/Frankie's original profile from December 2025 Noeul lived as a stray by a cafe in Busan. He was malnourished, but survived eating food given to him by shop owners and customers. Then someone reported him as a feral dog, and he was placed on the euthanasia list at the shelter. Just before euthanasia, someone stepped forward and adopted Noeul. However, only one day later, he was returned. He was then rescued and moved to a foster home in Busan. After staying there for a couple of months, he was moved to another foster home in Incheon. Noeul is now fully settled, and has been lovingly cared for by his foster family in Icheon, Korea. He enjoys playing, loves going on walks, and has grown into a confident and happy dog. He is ready to come to the Seattle area to meet his forever family! Name: Noeul Estimated Age: 3 years Breed: West Highland & Terrier Mix Gender: Male Weight: 14.3 lbs Spayed/Neutered: Yes Energy Level: 3-4 out of 10 Good with dogs? When meeting dogs during walks, Noeul wants to approach first. He usually only sniffs and does not bark. At home, once he finishes sniffing another dog, he gets along well with them. Good with cats? He ignores cats. Good with kids? Gets along well with gentle children, but may bark at them during walks if they are noisy. Sociability: Gets along well with everyone. As long as there are no sudden loud noises/ big movements, he has no issues. When he meets familiar people outside, he rubs against them and asks for pets. He bonds well with his current foster family. Noeul is very considerate. When the senior dog at his foster’s home eats/drinks, he waits patiently behind and only approaches after the other dog is finished, showing great manners and patience. 100% outdoor potty trained. His previous foster mentioned marking, but in his current foster home, Noeul does not mark at all. Good on leash? He goes on walks 3-5X a day, each lasting about 10 to 40 minutes. Typical times are around 8 a.m., 12 p.m., 4 p.m., and 9 p.m., though not always exact. He may pull slightly, but when his name is called, he responds well. He enjoys sniffing during walks, so leash manners are considered easy. Barker? At home, he only barks when a new and unfamiliar person enters. Outside, he may bark at running children, but he stops immediately when his attention is redirected. Separation anxiety? None. Mouthiness/nipping? He gently mouths toys while playing and is not aggressive. He takes treats carefully and chews slowly. He experiences motion sickness. On poorly paved roads, he may vomit, but he does fine on well paved roads. Health Notes: No known health issues. If given time and patience, Noeul warms up in less than a week and begins to show affection and approach on his own. In under two weeks, he may climb onto the bed, but he does not sleep there. He usually sleeps under the bed and comes up to give kisses when the alarm goes off in the morning. He is shy at first and can be scared of strangers, but he loves pets and is very affectionate once comfortable. Favorite things: Small plushie toys, treats, walks, being held and snuggles, and visiting cozy restaurants and cafés! Noeul eats one meal per day. A consistent feeding routine is recommended. Pls email us for any inquiries/fill out the adoption application via the link in our Instagram bio.🌼 This sweet boy is ready to meet his forever family!💗
