Chihuahua puppies and dogs in Mount Vernon, Washington

FIRST STEPS: Please visit https://www.save-a-mutt.org/adoption-application/ to fill out an application - a Petfinder Inquiry is not the adoption process. We don't do meet and greets until applications have been approved. All our dogs are located IN Washington State - we are a local foster based rescue and no transport from another state required. :) Thanks! --- Meet Boots - he and his littermates were part of an oops litter. The family couldn't keep them and by the time they came to us, they were already 6 months old. Mommy is a long haired chihuahua - but they were unusual looking so we did DNA and fell on the floor when the results just came in. 18% of their DNA is Malinois. It's obvious daddy was a bigger dog. With their long bodies, we actually thought dachshund or corgi. Ha! Boots is only about 12# at 6 months old. We still think they will be under 20# like mommy. Boots is currently in a foster home, learning all things puppy - crate training, leash walking and more. Once settled in, he's pretty silly and sweet. He loves to play with the resident dogs and would enjoy another dog in the home. UPDATE: Guess whose ears popped! He looks like a total mini Mal! ;) This puppy is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated. Puppies are good with dogs, cats, kids and more. Being a puppy, they will need lots of training, including housebreaking. Remember, puppies are cute, but they have sharp teeth, need to be fed 3 times a day and poop... a lot! This litter arrived a little fearful - still wagging tails, but a lot of change in their world so we are stressing the 333 Rule. New things like vacuum cleaners, odd TV noises, etc. provide a moment of pause. The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for transitioning a rescue dog into its new home and helping it to settle in. It suggests that the first three days should be used for adjusting to its new surroundings, the next three weeks for training and bonding, and the first three months for continued socialization and training. Each dog goes home with a goody bag including collar/leash, toys, chews, Kong, and more. You will receive all medical records, microchip transfer form and other paperwork at the time of adoption. Adoptions typically take place in Stanwood. Adoption fee is $475. Save-A-Mutt is a registered 501c3 and half of your adoption fee may be tax deductible. Save-A-Mutt is a foster based rescue, we do not have a facility to visit. Our adoptions are typically done Monday - Saturday, we are closed on Sunday’s to give our volunteers at least one day off. You must be available to do meets and adoptions during that time frame. We can make exceptions only with the approval of the foster home. Please note, we have approximately a 300 mile adoption radius - Portland OR area and Vancouver BC is the farthest north. We don’t ship dogs, once approved you must pick them up in Snohomish County, WA. Canadian adopters must be able to come to Stanwood WA to pick up your puppy.

Mittens is currently in a foster home, learning all things puppy - crate training, leash walking and more. Her foster mom said: - LOVES attention. Same as siblings, she comes and seeks it out. Shes like a pogo stick until she gets it. - It does seem like there is a lot in the world that is just new. Vacuum, hairdryer, TV, stairs.. all very weird to her. - Smart girl, picked up doggy door in less than an hour. - Loves dogs, loves playing with them. - I have no concerns about her picking up crate very quickly. She had a little tantrum but then slept for 4 hours on the very first day. It will only get better. - She seem very curious and playful. - Along with smart, she's a little contrary. She is picking up on corrections, like 'no,' but at times will question / test the direction This puppy is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. Puppies are good with dogs, cats, kids and more.

With their long bodies, we actually thought dachshund or corgi. Ha! Parka is the largest in the litter - about 15# at 6 months old. We still think he will be in the 25# range, mommy is 20#. He's also got longer legs and taller than his siblings. Parka is currently in a foster home, learning all things puppy - crate training, leash walking and more. Honestly - he's Rocking this foster thing. He's meeting all kinds of human and dog friends! His foster mom said: "Parka had a Fun day today. JackPot and Olive helped at training class. Afterwards we got to run around their fenced acreage. Parka did great, ran around but also checked in. Then we did a nice walk at Pac Rim Institute which is always full of new smells and noises. I think I’ve only heard Parka bark once which is shocking considering how much our dogs bark. He’s sort of chill." Once settled in, he's pretty silly and sweet. He loves to play with the resident dogs and would enjoy another dog in the home. He's having so many adventures with his foster pack! This puppy is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated.

**THIS DOG IS NOT IN THE DIRECT CARE OF HAPPY TAILS HAPPY HOMES - WE ARE ASSISTING IN THE REHOMING WITH ITS CURRENT OWNERS. If you are interested in this dog, please fill out an application here: https://www.happytailshappyhomes.org/adoptionform** Chip (affectionately known as Chippy) is a 6-month-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix with a deeply loyal and affectionate nature. He forms strong bonds with his people and thrives when he can stay close to the humans he trusts. Chip is sensitive, intelligent, and playful, and he does best with routine, structure, and consistency. Chip has special behavioral needs related to anxiety and would be happiest in a calm, low-stimulation home with an experienced dog owner. He has been evaluated by a veterinarian, and his behaviors — including a repetitive spinning behavior — are believed to be anxiety- or OCD-related rather than neurological. He is crate trained and views his crate as a safe, comforting space where he can settle and decompress. Because of his sensitivity, Chip is not a good fit for a busy or chaotic household. He would do best in a quiet adult home without young children. He can be nervous and vocal around new people at first, but once given time and patience, he warms up and shows his sweet, affectionate personality. His interactions with other dogs can be hit or miss, so he would likely thrive as an only pet or with very slow, thoughtful introductions. Chip was rescued from a shelter at approximately three months old, and his early background is unknown. With patience, structure, and continued training, he has the potential to be a deeply rewarding companion for the right person who understands anxious dogs and is willing to meet him where he is. We are committed to ensuring the best possible match for Chip. Full details, videos, and veterinary records are available to serious adopters. He requires an experienced, patient home, and we are happy to continue fostering him until the right placement is found — one where he can feel safe, understood, and truly at home.

Meet Paco — the pint-sized adventurer with the floppiest ears, a heart full of love, and the sweetest little smile you’ve ever seen! 🌞 This tiny chihuahua-terrier mix (your guess is as good as ours — rescue magic at its finest!) is about 2 years young and ready to find his forever person. He’s got this perfect tan-red coat that practically glows in the sunshine, and eyes so big and brown they could melt a popsicle in January. Paco may be small, but his personality has layers like a fancy little dog burrito — soft, spicy, and a little shy at first taste. He’s the kind of boy who takes his time to trust new people, but once he does? He’s your best buddy, loyal nap partner, and possibly your personal shadow. He’s incredibly sweet with his foster parents and just needs someone patient enough to let him open up on his own timeline. Watch Paco swim, run, and play in his video! https://youtu.be/qFgaypcolVw?si=PEJbzdl6SNG8mebe He currently lives with three foster dog siblings who he absolutely adores! They go on road trips, vacations, and adventures together — from zooming around the yard to swimming in beautiful spots (yes, this little guy swims!). With other dogs, he’s gentle and polite, preferring to observe before joining the fun. Once he’s comfortable, he’ll do cute little runs and play sessions, but he’s not a roughhouser. Paco would do best with a low to medium-energy dog friend who will let him come around naturally — no pushy pups, please! When it comes to cats, Paco is what we’d call “cat curious but cautious.” He met a calm kitty named Biggie and did great — a little nervous, but respectful and tolerant. A chill, dog-savvy cat who doesn’t mind a nervous little dog would be perfectly fine for him. As for kids, Paco hasn’t been officially kid-tested yet, but given how shy he can be, he’d probably prefer a calm, adult home or one with older, dog-savvy teens who understand that good things (and tail wags) take time. This little man is not cut out for apartment living — he’s more of a “quiet home with a yard” type of guy. New noises, fast movements, and big groups of people can overwhelm him. He’ll thrive in a peaceful home with gentle routines, understanding humans, and maybe a friendly dog to help show him the ropes. Paco is still learning that the world isn’t so scary — and with patience, kindness, and a sprinkle of humor, you’ll see his shy side melt away into the most loving, loyal little companion. Once his tail comes up and that tiny smile shows, it’s over for you. You’ll be in love. 💛 Paco’s dream home? Somewhere calm, cozy, and full of love. Someone who doesn’t mind going slow at first but can imagine the joy of watching a timid rescue bloom into his goofy, snuggly, happy self. Because once you earn Paco’s trust — it’s forever.
