WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Meet Baloo! Baloo is a beautiful 6-month-old Chow Chow puppy weighing approximately 30 pounds. This fluffy girl has a sweet temperament and a playful, active personality that makes her a joy to be around. She loves attention, enjoys playtime, and is ready to find a family to call her own. Baloo is house trained, does well in a kennel, and has wonderful indoor manners. Because of her thick Chow Chow coat, she is looking for an air-conditioned home where she can stay cool and comfortable year-round. Baloo does best with bigger dogs, as she can be a little bossy with smaller dogs. She would thrive in a home that can continue her training, provide regular exercise, and give her all the love she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, fluffy companion with lots of personality, Baloo may be the perfect match for you!

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION. To see more pictures of this dog, please visit our Facebook page and look under “photos” and then “albums”. A 30ish pound, 6-year-old female Super Mutt, Sheba arrived to Smidget pregnant. Having done a great job raising her pups, she’s now ready to bring dances of joy and lots of cuddles to her forever home. She is delighted to run with you, play ball, or lounge on the couch. She is loyal, eager to please, and gets along well with other dogs and cats. Sheba’s energy levels are high and would be too much for a home with small children. In addition to normal barking, she will make a series of high-pitched noises when triggered by something such as a strange dog. Very smart and food-motivated, she responds well to training. New people are a challenge for her, and she will take some time—and treats—to warm up to them. 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.

Story
*hair blowing in the wind (even though she's indoors)* *unexplained sparkles in the air* *faint heavenly music* Yes, she is me. Chloe. Now that you are blinded by my beauty, let me explain why I am the absolute best girl on the inside too and so deserving of your (and everyone's) undivided adoration. I'm loyal, smart as a whip, and FUN, just to name a few. Unfortunately, I didn't come from the most glamorous beginnings. I was an outdoor doggy with not much interaction from birth and my family also left me behind when they moved. Thus, I wasn't really brought up interacting with you humans or being touched/handled. I've had my quirks while adjusting to being a family dog and will definitely need someone patient and understanding with me. (If you get too touchy right away, I don't like that and will try to protect myself.) However, if you are slow and gain my trust I will HANG on your every move. I have adjusted very quickly in the past with proper introductions to people. Even still, I would probably do best in a home without young children. I'm a lady after all and need time to sniff you out before you get grabby. I am an active girl and love to feel the wind in my hair outdoors too. I run with the speed of light and have a prey drive to sniff out bugs, lizards and more. I also love to play tug of war and fetch with my foster mommy inside. I bounce, bounce, bounce all the time! I am great on leash so walks and hikes would be great for me. Getting my energy out will help me focus on training too. I am very smart and learn quickly, but tend to lose interest if I'm still chock full of go, go, go!! With all of this perfection, all of your pet needs should be fulfilled, right? RIGHT? I hope so because I would do great as an only pet in the home. I have been able to co-exist with dogs at the rescue but I am a bit of a diva in my foster home. I have a domineering personality sometimes and will even mark like a male when I come across another dog's scent in my house. How dare they??? Existing? HERE? (She is otherwise house trained.) Considering that you and I know each other a little better now, you may pet me. Yes, I am very soft, I know. Please keep in mind that I am a Chow/shepherd mix and have hair that will require brushing, maybe even the occasional spa treatment, Swedish massage, 24k gold facials...yeahhhhhhhhhh.... Sorry! I forgot you were here. In all seriousness, once I trust you, I will allow you to brush me out without much fuss. It doesn't need to be daily but I am a rough and tumble kinda gal and can use help keeping my locks flowing and free. I also shed so if I seem to be losing my girlish figure, it's probably just extra hair that needs to be brushed off. I hope you have a strong vacuum. ;) I could go on for days about myself, but I'll stop here. Don't wanna overwhelm you. If you think you are up for the challenge of a total spitfire like me, please feel free to send in an application and foster mommy can tell you more about all of the grandeur that is...CHLOE. Adoption application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GDR/Dog Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Story
**About Rose:** Rose is an international rescue all the way from South Korean. While "international adoption" might sound like a major undertaking, we have years of experience streamlining this process to make it as smooth as possible. We’ll be right by your side to explain every step! The Journey Home Once your application is approved, the final step of Rose’s journey begins. Adopters are responsible for picking her up directly from a major international airport. Common arrival hubs include: West Coast: SFO, SEA, LAX. East Coast & Central: JFK, IAH Personality: Rose is a very lively, social, and gentle dog. She loves food and is not picky at all, which helps her bond quickly with people. She is friendly with everyone regardless of age or gender and approaches both children and adults with enthusiasm. When she gets very excited or wants something, she may jump high. She has improved a lot with training and does not jump on her foster caregiver, but she may still try with new people, so continued guidance will be helpful. She is very friendly with other dogs and plays well with them. She has good manners and even lies down and waits if another dog does not want to play. She also plays well on her own and happily shares toys without any guarding behavior. She rarely barks and does not show destructive behavior. Social & Environment: Rose loves outdoor activities and enjoys running. She is comfortable in various environments such as parks, mountains, beaches, and city areas. (She enjoys the beach but does not swim.) She may briefly chase fast-moving things like butterflies, leaves, or flying objects, so some attention is needed during walks. She can be sensitive to loud noises or unfamiliar large objects (such as at the vet), and in those situations she may become timid or try to move away. Experience with Children: She has briefly interacted with a 3-year-old child and has met elementary school children. She may show slight caution at first but warms up quickly. Experience with Cats: She has seen cats during walks and may try to chase them out of curiosity. With guidance and redirection, she loses interest. Car Rides: She does well in the car. She usually sits calmly while looking outside or plays with chew toys. Potty Training: 100% outdoor potty trained. Follows a consistent routine (twice daily: morning and evening) She tries to hold it if needed, so maintaining a routine is important. When Left Alone: She entertains herself well by playing with toys or chewing on safe items. She rarely barks. Resource Guarding: No guarding behavior. She shares well and waits patiently. Occasionally, if she wants to enjoy something alone, she simply walks away with it rather than showing aggression. Leash & Walking: Rose walks at least two hours a day and loves walks very much. She enjoys exploring, sniffing, and especially running in open spaces like fields or beaches. She may pull at the beginning of walks due to excitement but responds to correction and tries to control herself. She understands leash routines well — she sits and waits to be leashed and also waits calmly after walks before entering the house. Commands Learned: Sit Wait Come Mealtime cue (“Mamma”) Paw House No Kiss

**About Aglio:** Thank you for interested in adopting Aglio. Please know that Aglio is an international rescue through South Korea. When your application is approved, you will need to pick him up from the airport - such as SFO, SEA, JFK, LAX, IAH, etc. International adoption is not a complicated process and we‘ve done the process many years. We would be happy to explain to you how the process works. - Personality: He is very energetic and easygoing. He is not sensitive or nervous. He may be a little shy when meeting new people at first, but he warms up quickly. He wants to greet other dogs and has a bright, friendly personality that allows him to get along well with anyone at dog parks. - with kid: He may be a little shy at first, but with time he gets along well with people, including children. - with cats: When he sees cats during walks, he tilts his head and looks at them. Because he is still young, he does not show much reaction toward cats. - car rides: He rides in the car very well. Since he has been riding since he was young, he has no problems at all. - potty training: He goes poop outdoors. He pees both indoors and outdoors, and when indoors, he uses pee pads only. His pee pad success rate is 100%. - left alone: He whines very briefly at first but then stays calm. - guarding behavior: No. With just a simple “wait” command, he can patiently wait his turn next to another dog. He is very smart. - Leash & walking experience: He is currently being walked on a leash and does very well with it. There are no issues.

**About Koda:** Thank you for interested in adopting Koda. Please know that Koda is an international rescue through South Korea. When your application is approved, you will need to pick him up from the airport - such as SFO, SEA, JFK, LAX, IAH, etc. International adoption is not a complicated process and we‘ve done the process many years. We would be happy to explain to you how the process works. Personality: Koda is cheerful and energetic. He can be a bit competitive with dogs at a similar energy level but is gentle with older dogs. While he has built a strong bond with his foster, he can be wary of strangers. He should not be let off-leash as he avoids capture or close contact without it. He is generally cautious in new situations but shows resilience and adapts well over time. Koda does well with both children and adults. He may be nervous at first, but after 4–5 days he warms up and becomes affectionate. He has a tendency to chase stray cats, so living with cats may not be suitable. Car Rides: Travels well in the car without issues. Housebreaking: Prefers outdoor potty. Alone Time: May whine a little and bark at outside noises, but settles down. Leash & Walks: Currently in leash training. He may try to run after birds or small animals, so caution is needed. Coming from a street life, he is wary of cars and waits for them to pass even from a distance. - Koda is shy at first, but adapts quickly and shows strong affection once trust is built. - Shows some “one-person dog” tendencies, bonding closely with the foster. - Naturally energetic and active due to his young age, but he has good self-control. Koda is ready to find his forever loving home. If you’re interested in him, please feel free to reach out to us anytime!
