Meet Brewster ☕🐾
7 years old | Male Chihuahua/Min Pin mix (?) | 14 pounds
Brewster is a distinguished little gentleman who truly appreciates the finer things in life — namely warmth, comfort, and a well-placed blanket. If there’s a cozy throw nearby, chances are Brewster has already burrito’d himself inside it. Bonus points for cute sweaters.
He’s mostly a low-key companion, perfectly content to nap on the couch (with blankets, of course) or curl up in your lap. But every so often, his silly side shines through — rolling around in his favorite blanket stash and prancing delicately on his toes like he’s in his own little parade.
Brewster’s personality highlights:
• Gentle and lovely to have around
• Occasionally bouncy and playful
• Polite but clear about his boundaries
• Curious and snack-motivated
He’ll play with other dogs sometimes, but he’s not always in the mood. If a dog gets too pushy, he’ll offer a quick correction growl and move along — no drama. He could do well as an only dog or in a home with polite canine companions.
House manners:
✔ Sleeps quietly in his crate once settled
✔ Appears potty trained (a couple minor mishaps, mostly cold-weather related or in new environments)
✔ Walks nicely on leash without excessive pulling
✔ Polite and curious meeting other dogs on walks
He enjoys his walks and loves sniffing and marking interesting shrubbery — though he can be a bit of a wet-weather diva and may need encouragement to brave the elements. (He’s VERY excited to rush back inside and bundle up afterward.)
A few quirks to love:
• He prances daintily on his toes
• When he shakes off, the ripple travels dramatically down his body to a wiggly tail finale
• He can get chirpy when food time is near
• May whine briefly in his crate or when feeling uncertain
Brewster can be a bit vocal when left home alone, so apartments or condos may not be the best fit. He also gets somewhat anxious on car rides and may whimper when unsure about his surroundings — but he’s making good progress with reassurance and practice.
He doesn’t care much for toys but will absolutely follow his nose toward tasty-smelling snacks — so keep those secured!
He’s generally comfortable meeting new people, though he may shy away if approached too quickly. We haven’t seen him with many children, but gentle, respectful kids would likely be fine. Cats are unknown.
Brewster is a cozy, quirky, blanket-loving companion who will bring warmth, personality, and quiet devotion to the right home.
To request an adoption application, email smidgetrescue@hotmail.com 💌🐶
Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older. Puppies are adopted with a refundable spay/neuter deposit (in addition to the adoption fee) and adopters are required to get their puppy to our vet for their pre-scheduled spay-neuter appointments. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at smidgetrescue@hotmail.com or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. 8632781We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. You must live within a three-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), so we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.
