Story
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.

HI - I'M BOBO! I'm a beautiful, sweet, gentle, mellow 8-1/2-year-old female Chow Chow mix currently in a foster home in Washington, where I enjoy my days lounging around, going for short walks, and hanging out with other dogs and cats. I originally was rescued from a crowded California shelter, where I was brought in with a another dog. I'm in good health except for some arthritis, but glucosamine treats help me greatly. I cannot do a lot of stairs so a house that can accommodate me would be greatly appreciated. I'm a lovebug and my favorite thing to do is hang out with my person or people, and go for short walks. Would you like to meet me? Please email for an application. I weigh 78 lbs.

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.

Story
Hi… my name is Raon. I’m a 5-year-old Jindo mix boy, about 15kg. I have short legs, a chubby body, and a funny little waddle when I walk. People often smile just watching me move. But before you met me here, I spent a very, very long time alone. I lived in a shelter for years. So long that I almost didn’t make it out. I was rescued just before euthanasia. For all that time, nobody chose me. But somehow… I never stopped loving people. When I meet someone for the first time, I don’t hesitate. I walk right up, wagging my tail, asking for pets like I’ve known you forever. As if I’m saying, “I’m here.” “I can be loved too.” Because I stayed in the shelter for so long, I never really learned how to be around other dogs. I don’t like sharing attention, and maybe… it’s because I’ve waited my whole life for love that was never just mine. That’s why I hope to be the only dog in your home. Just once in my life, I want to know what it feels like to have love all to myself. With people, I am incredibly gentle, affectionate, and soft-hearted. Honestly, living in a real home might be something completely new for me. I may be five years old, but in my heart, I’m still a little puppy. Everything in the world feels new and exciting. If I come home with you, I will need to learn many things from the beginning — house manners, potty training, how to live inside a home. So I’m looking for someone patient. Someone who will go slowly with me. Someone who will say, “It’s okay,” and stay by my side while I learn. Please, just take one look at me. If I find my family, I promise I will return the love I never received — many times over. I truly believe I can be the most loyal, loving companion for the rest of my life. I’ve been waiting for you for a very long time.

Story
🏠 Currently in a Toronto foster homeHi… my name is Koon 🐾I’m a 1 year and 6 month old Jindo mix boy, about 15kg, with a strong body and an even bigger heart. People say I’m still at that age where I just want to run, play, and learn everything about the world—and they’re right. But my world started a little differently. I came to a shelter when I was just a tiny puppy, and for over a year, my days were spent in a small space. I didn’t get to explore much back then… but somehow, I never stopped believing that people are kind and the world is exciting.When I see humans, my tail starts wagging before I even realize it. I walk right up to say hello—I just can’t help myself. I love other dogs too, and I make friends easily. Being around others makes me feel happy and safe. About six months ago, something new began for me. I moved to a training center, where I started learning what “life” can be like. I’ve met lots of different people, learned rules, and practiced basic training. The trainers say I’m smart (I think so too 😉), and they always smile when I show them my cute side—which I have a lot of.But there’s one thing I’ve never had before… a real home. I don’t yet know what it’s like to rest in a cozy house, to have my own spot, to follow a daily routine with my family, or even to fully understand where to go potty. Everything about living in a home will be new to me.So if you’re thinking about becoming my family, I might need a little patience at first. I might be unsure, or make mistakes while I learn. But I promise—I love people, I love learning, and I really want to do well. If you guide me with kindness and consistency, I’ll try my very best to grow into the dog you can be proud of. If you take the time to show me the world from your side, I’ll give you something back that’s even bigger—my trust, my love, and my whole heart. For me, simple things like walking together, resting side by side, and sharing everyday moments… those are dreams I’ve been waiting for. Maybe… you’re the family I’ve been waiting for? It might be a little awkward at first, but over time, I’ll become your most loyal companion—the one who loves you more sincerely than anyone else. Will you be my first real family? 🐶💛

Story
Hi… I’m Mani 🤍 I’m a one-year-old male Jindo mix, about 16kg, and I’ve been waiting to meet you—my forever family. My life kind of paused when I was just three months old. That’s when I ended up in a shelter. Cold metal bars, unfamiliar sounds… for a long time, that was my whole world. I lost my mom when I was very young. I don’t even know how I got there. All I know is that, with my small body, I was placed on the euthanasia list— before I ever got to know what a home, a family, or love really felt like. But here’s the surprising part. When I was finally rescued and stepped outside that place, I didn’t hold onto the fear. Instead, I discovered people. And I loved them. I wag my tail when I see you. I know how to ask for affection. I’m gentle with other dogs, taking my time, learning how to play— because honestly, I’m still figuring out how the world works. There’s a lot I don’t know yet. Living in a home. Having a family of my own. House training, walking on a leash, learning how to live together. Everything will be new for me. That’s why I’m looking for a family who will teach me, who won’t rush me, who will guide me with patience and love. If you become my very first family, I promise you this— with the deep loyalty Jindos are known for, I will stand by your side for the rest of my life and love you with my whole heart. I’m still just one year old. I still have a chance. Instead of remembering my painful past, I hope we can build a warm future—together. I’m Mani. And I’m waiting for you. 🐾
