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.

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. Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX)

Story
Midnight, a common name for a common black dog....but what about me?? AM I COMMON??? NOPE! I am the lion of dog breeds :) Nothing normal or common about me! Not my beautiful mane OR my beautiful chow chow personality! So I was found in a park, abandoned with my "friends" after my owner died :( LUCKILY i found a rescue who not only LOVES the breed, but also has helped me get healthy (think heartworms and bad skin) but also will find me exactly the right family! (HOPEFULLY in a colder climate!!) I am not a puppy and since I am a single dog home I really would do best without young children or unpredictable adults :) I am a magnificent breed but we are a little picky about our friends and need someone who KNOWS and LOVES my breed.. I am ready for you if you are ready for me.... put in the adoption application!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) OUt of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to U.S. and Canada💟 💙 Name: Kuma 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 2 years old (Born April 2024) 💙 Weight: 11.7 kg / 25.8 lbs 💙 ADOGS Instagram (KR): @_adogs_ 1. Medical History * Neutered * Microchipped and heartworm retest scheduled for December 2026 2. Rescue Story * Kuma was living at the Gimje Shelter. Because the shelter environment was vulnerable to infectious diseases, Adogs could not leave him behind and stepped in urgently to rescue him. 3. Personality & Characteristics * With Humans: Is timid and easily frightened by strangers. Around familiar people, he will smile happily and approach first; however, he is still not used to physical touch and tends to flinch and freeze when petted. * With Dogs: Coexists peacefully without showing much interest in other dogs. Has never shown aggression toward dog friends. * With Cats: Has not yet been introduced to cats. * Separation Anxiety: Since he is currently living in a group setting at the center, his individual anxiety levels are unknown. Structured independence training will be needed from day one in a home environment. * Potty Training: Currently uses both indoor and outdoor potty setups at the center. Does not show leg-lifting marking behavior. * Grooming: Dislikes being brushed, but if done inside the kennel, he patiently stays still and tolerates it. * Leash Walking: Is afraid of putting on a leash, so when clipping the leash, he freezes up and digs his heels in, refusing to go out. Ongoing desensitization training is required. * Motion Sickness: Showed no signs of car sickness during short-distance rides. * Biting: When he first arrived at the center, he showed defensive snapping/biting when sudden touch was attempted. While he has improved significantly and no longer shows biting behavior, caution is required if the environment changes. * Barking: Has shown no barking or whining behavior. Guidance and training may be needed once he transitions into a home setting. * Personality & Temperament: Is cautious and shy. Although he approaches people first out of curiosity, he gets scared and backs away when you actually reach out to touch him. Is slowly building trust over time at the center, showing steady and constant progress.

Story
FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME NEEDED Meet Goliath! Goliath is a 6-year-old, 80 lb Lab / Chow / Anatolian mix who came to us as a stray from an overcrowded shelter. He’s a big, handsome boy with a lot of presence and an equally big heart for his people! Goliath is incredibly loyal and affectionate with those he knows and trusts. He loves playing fetch, is highly treat-motivated, and will happily give you his full attention when food is involved. Once he bonds with his person, he’s devoted, loving, and eager to please. Because of his size, strength, and independent streak, Goliath is looking for a very specific home. He can be a bit stubborn at times, so he’ll need a confident, experienced handler who can provide clear structure and guidance. He unfortunately does not do well with other dogs and can be reactive, so he will need to be the only pet in the home (no dogs or cats). He’s also strong, jumpy, and can be mouthy when excited, so we’re looking for a home without young children. Goliath would thrive in a standalone home with a fully fenced yard, ideally in a quieter, more rural or suburban setting outside the city where he isn’t overstimulated. A calm, predictable environment with a confident, experienced handler will help him be his best self. Consistency, routine, and leadership will go a long way with this big guy. Large-breed experience is a must. Goliath is UTD on vaccinations, microchipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $400.

Meet Aiden, rescued from Korea and a young Jindo pup.  Aiden is a good boy but he is worried at first about meeting new people. He did not have a great start in life and as a result he can be unsure of himself. He is in a wonderful foster home where he is patiently guided to become a little more confident. Aiden will do best with other dogs who are social and confident so that he can learn from their example. He is not suitable for a home with kids or cats.   Aiden is young and has a full life ahead of him. We hope to find him a dedicated person who is willing to continue working with him so that he can live his best life.  Aiden is vaccinated, chipped, and neutered. His adoption fee is $395. We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Story
Meet Boki!   Age: 6 months Sex: Neutered male Breed: Jindo × Corgi mix Colour: White Weight: 6.8 kg (15 lb) Shoulder height: 37 cm   Boki’s Story Rescued as a tiny puppy, Boki was adopted in Korea in July. We hoped he had found a family to grow up with and love for a lifetime.   Sadly, just one month after his adoption, Boki broke his left hind leg in a fall. His family could no longer care for him, and he was surrendered in need of surgery. At only a few months old, he was facing both a painful injury and the loss of his home.   Boki underwent surgery on August 25 and has since recovered. Despite everything, he remains a loving, trusting puppy who happily approaches new people and offers his belly for rubs.   Now, we’re hoping his next family will be the one who stays—through the happy days and the times he needs them most.   With People Boki is an affectionate little social butterfly! He approaches familiar people and strangers alike, rubbing against them for attention and happily accepting pets. Treats make making friends even easier!   He likes both men and women and has been comfortable around children under 13. He accepts being picked up and held, and he may show you his belly on your very first meeting.   With Other Dogs Boki is friendly and playful with other dogs, happily approaching both familiar friends and new faces to say hello and invite them to play. He especially enjoys playing with dogs around his own age!   He readily shows his belly to bigger dogs and can get a little enthusiastic when playing with younger or quieter friends.   With Cats Boki has not yet been observed around cats. A cat test can be arranged.   Energy Level Boki has a moderate energy level. He enjoys walks, outdoor activities, and lively playtime, then settles down nicely to rest afterward.   On Walks Boki walks well without pulling and enjoys following his person while stopping to sniff and explore.   He gives passing people and bicycles a little space and watches unfamiliar dogs without barking. Drain covers sometimes make him hesitate, but a tasty treat helps him cross.   Mealtimes Boki does not guard food from people. He may growl if another dog approaches while he is eating, so he should have his own space to enjoy meals undisturbed.   At Home Boki is generally quiet and rarely barks. Kennel confinement is still challenging for him: he may bark, whine, or howl at first, then usually lie down and rest after about 10 minutes. He’ll need patience and gentle, gradual practice to feel more comfortable.   Potty Habits Boki currently uses both indoor pee pads and outdoor potty areas. He’ll need time and a consistent routine as he adjusts to a new home.   Boki is still just a puppy, with so much growing, learning, and loving ahead of him. We’re looking for a family who will enjoy his playful spirit, guide him patiently, and give him the lasting home he deserves.

Meet Gamja!   Gamja means “potato” in Korean, and just like his name, this little boy is incredibly cute and full of charm!   Name: Gamja Age: 4 months Sex: Male (not yet neutered) Breed: Jindo mix Colour: Beige Weight: 6 kg / 13.2 lbs Height: 33 cm / 13 in   Gamja’s Story   Gamja was found tied up outside after he had jumped into a swimming pool. Thankfully, he was rescued and is now ready to find a loving family of his own.   Personality   Gamja is a friendly, affectionate puppy who loves people! He happily approaches familiar faces and strangers alike, rubbing against them and welcoming their attention. He’s even comfortable showing his belly to someone he has just met.   He has done very well with children under 13 and can be gently picked up and held.   Dog Socialization   Gamja loves other dogs and happily approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to say hello and invite them to play. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes!   As a young puppy, he can sometimes be a little enthusiastic when asking gentle dogs to play, but he’s just a playful little boy who loves making new friends.   Cats Gamja has met a cat before and didn’t show much interest, a cat test can be arranged if needed.   Energy & Play   Gamja has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities and generally settles down to rest afterward. But because he loves people so much, he may bark to ask for attention or playtime.   His foster family recently shared that he even barked in a sleeping person’s ear while doing a play bow—as if to say, “Wake up! It’s playtime!”   Walks & Training   Gamja enjoys walks and generally follows his person well. He can pull on the leash a bit and gets distracted by all the exciting things around him, so he’ll need patience and continued leash training.   He currently uses both indoor pee pads and the outdoors for potty breaks. As with any puppy, he’ll need ongoing guidance and may need time to adjust to a new routine.   Gamja does not guard his food from people or other dogs. He is generally quiet, but may bark when someone returns home or when he wants to play. He may also bark quite a bit at first when placed in a kennel.   Gamja is looking for a loving family who will enjoy his playful puppy personality and help him learn and grow.
