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)

Meet Pepper – Chow Chow Looking for a New HomePepper is a 2-year-old Chow Chow who is looking for a new home due to a change in our family's circumstances. We adopted her before having children, and one of our children has developed an allergy to her.Pepper is potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained. She knows basic commands including sit, down, kennel, and come. She does well with children of all ages.Pepper loves spending time outdoors and would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard. She would also do best as the only dog in the home. She can interact appropriately with other dogs in neutral locations but can be territorial with other dogs in her home.We care deeply about finding Pepper the right home and are asking a reasonable rehoming fee of $150 to help ensure serious inquiries.Located in Tacoma, WA.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to SEA💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. ​💙 Name: Kuma 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 2 years old (Born April 2024) 💙 Weight: 11.7 kg (approx. 26 lbs) 💙 ADOGS Instagram (KR): @adogs 💙 English Profile: @_adogs_rescue 1. Medical History - Neuter Status: Completed - Microchip: Registered (Internal chip completed) - Other Notes: Heartworm retest scheduled (December 2026) Giardia completely cured 2. Rescue Story Kuma was staying at the Gimje Shelter, quietly enduring his loneliness. Unable to leave him behind in an environment so highly vulnerable to infectious diseases, ADOGS stepped in urgently to rescue Kuma and give him a chance at a safe life. 3. Personality & Characteristics - Interaction with Humans: He is very fearful and tends to keep his distance from people. He runs away from strangers and does not allow physical touch. He avoids being handled even by familiar faces. Extreme caution is needed when trying to put on his leash, as his fear can trigger defensive nipping. - Interaction with Dogs: He coexists peacefully and seamlessly with other dogs without showing much interest in them. He has shown absolutely no aggression toward his dog friends. - Interaction with Cats: He has not encountered any cats yet. - Separation Anxiety: Since he is currently living in a group environment at the shelter, it is difficult to assess. He will need structured training from the beginning once he transitions to a home. - Potty Training: He currently utilizes both indoor and outdoor potty areas at the shelter. He does not have a habit of marking. - Grooming & Hygiene: He has no prior experience with formal grooming routines yet. - Leash Walking: When a walk is attempted, he tends to bite and chew on the leash. He will need patient guidance and leash training. - Motion Sickness: He has shown no signs of car sickness during short-distance rides. - Biting/Aggression: He gets highly tense and evades whenever people approach. Because he is unfamiliar with human touch, attempting to pet him can lead to defensive snapping. On one occasion at the shelter, when handlers had to catch him to put him back into his kennel, he made warning snaps and then bit hard enough to leave marks on the handler's hand. Experienced and careful handling is strictly required. - Barking: He is very quiet and has not shown any barking or whining behavior at the shelter, though training may be needed if his habits shift in a home environment. - Dislikes: He actively avoids people. He feels highly uncomfortable when humans come too close or try to touch him. - Personality: Kuma is a very timid, fearful, and wary boy. Because of his deeply cautious nature, his future family must give him plenty of space and take things very slow to build trust over time.

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.

These pups are in Seattle, Washington too!

❤️Meet Sweet And Gentle Lisa— Once a Chained-Dog, Now Ready For Her Happy Beginnings! Here are more photos and videos of Lisa: https://www.instagram.com/p/Dc4xrlvBJzZ/?hl=en Look at her expressive ears!🥰 Lisa is an absolute sweetheart!💖 Lisa was rescued from a life as an outside chained-dog at a fish farm in Sinan, South Korea. Even as a puppy, she was left alone on a chain in an isolated area.💔 At first, Lisa was very afraid of people. However, she is learning how to live comfortably with people with her foster family. She has adapted much faster than expected. She is now comfortable around her foster family and even cautiously approaches unfamiliar people to sniff and get to know them. She also learned to respond to her name, Lisa, and come when called in only one day! She is doing very well and continues to gain confidence every day.☺️ Name: Lisa Estimated Age: 7 months Gender: F Weight: 18.7 lb Spayed: Yes Lisa is a very sweet and calm dog who enjoys going for walks, exploring, and trips with her family: parks, swimming, and adventures. She’s is generally mellow at home and likes to quietly explore her surroundings. When she meets a dog she likes, she enjoys playing with them. She can get very playful and energetic with the right dog friend.😊 Good with Dogs? Gets along very well with other dogs. She has never shown aggression or barking toward other dogs and calmly greets unfamiliar dogs. When she likes another dog, she will actively invite them to play. Good with Kids? Older, calm children. She can become frightened if a child suddenly runs toward her or tries to pick her up before she feels comfortable. Sociability with People: Lisa bonded with her foster family within just one day and is very responsive to people. She is a people oriented dog who enjoys following and interacting with her person. Once she feels safe and familiar with someone, she becomes very affectionate. She will roll over for belly rubs and give kisses. She is nervous around strangers at first, but she warms up quickly. When first meeting Women:Generally more comfortable approaching women and follows them. If given time to sniff first and decide that someone is safe, she accepts gentle petting. Men: Slightly shy at first, but adjusts quickly. Lisa is most attached to her foster mom and follows her closely. She especially loves giving kisses and enjoys being held and snuggled once she is comfortable with someone. Potty Trained? Yes. Outdoor potty trained. Good on Leash? Yes. Lisa currently gets 3-4 walks a day. She potties easily during walks. When she finds a suitable spot, she tends to put her nose to the ground and sniff carefully before going. Barker? No. Lisa is generally a quiet dog. Separation Anxiety? No. Mouthiness / Nipping? If an unfamiliar person tries to touch her too quickly, Lisa may briefly react defensively by making a quick air snap with her mouth. However, when someone approaches her slowly and gives her time to sniff first, she accepts gentle touch and does not resist. She loves tasty treats, which can help her feel more comfortable with new people. Lisa is afraid of bicycles and electric scooters when they pass by quickly. However, once she realizes they are not going to hurt her, she calms down. *Please note: Lisa experiences motion sickness during car rides. She should not be fed before traveling as she may vomit repeatedly in the car. When traveling on an empty stomach, she generally only drools rather than vomiting. *She's getting better at it lately as there have been times when she doesn't get car sick. Health Notes: No known health issues. Lisa is generally only shy during her first day in a new environment and becomes comfortable with people very quickly. Once she knows someone, she loves being held and cuddled. With anyone new, it is best to wait until she becomes comfortable before picking her up. At first, she prefers gentle petting on her head or having her chest gently scratched. Lisa is not particularly interested in toys. She especially likes things such as tissues that she can easily tear with her mouth, so these should be kept out of reach. 🏡💖Ideal Family and Home: Lisa would be a good match for a family that enjoys walks, going to parks, and outdoor adventures with their dog. A family that also enjoys quiet times at home as she is calm and well behaved indoors. Lisa enjoys going to parks, swimming, and exploring nature. Lisa is very sweet, gentle, affectionate, and generally easygoing. From Lisa’s foster: Even after spending just one day with Lisa, it becomes clear that she is a dog who quickly becomes attached to the person who feeds her, walks her, and takes care of her. She is incredibly affectionate toward her person and loves giving kisses. She has lots of affection to give and often looks deeply into her person’s eyes. She bonds very well, building a strong connection and communication. Lisa is an easygoing dog without any significant behavioral problems. She is affectionate, loves following her person around, and seems remarkably good at reading and responding to her person’s emotions. Lisa's adoption fee is $750, plus $245 US customs entry and broker fee. For adoption inquiries please email us or fill out the adoption application via the link in our Instagram bio.🌼

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!

Meet Pearl — A Sweet & Social Jindo Mix Looking for Her Forever Family!   Name: Pearl Age: 9 months Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Jindo Mix Color: Brown Weight: 21 kg Height: 56 cm (shoulder height)   Personality with People   Pearl is a very affectionate and friendly girl who happily approaches both familiar people and strangers. She loves leaning in for pets and allows handling easily. With people she knows well, she’s a total sweetheart — she may jump up to give kisses and show her playful affection. She does well with children under 13 and is comfortable being gently lifted with an arm under her belly. Once she trusts you, she’ll even show her belly   Socialization with Other Dogs   Pearl enjoys greeting and playing with both familiar and unfamiliar dogs. She does have a timid side — if several dogs (even small ones) rush toward her at once, she may retreat. She can be a little socially unaware at times and may try to initiate play even if the other dog is unsure. With very high-energy dogs, she will clearly communicate when she’s uncomfortable.   Cats   Pearl has not yet been tested with cats, but a cat test can be arranged if needed.   Energy Level   Pearl has a moderate energy level. She enjoys outdoor activities and walks, but once her exercise is done, she settles nicely and relaxes indoors.   ‍ Walking & Leash Skills   She does pull on the leash at times but generally follows her handler well. Pearl loves sniffing and exploring, so walks often involve stopping and starting as she takes in all the scents around her   Other Behaviors & Habits   • No food guarding toward people or dogs, though she is food-motivated and may rush to eat first • Rarely barks — if uncomfortable, she may whine softly instead • Calm and well-behaved in a kennel • Gets in and out of the car on her own • Fully accustomed to outdoor potty routines   Rescue Story   Pearl was rescued with her mother and littermates after her mom entered the Ganghwa Shelter in Incheon and gave birth there. Thanks to rescue support, Pearl has grown up safe and loved — and is now ready for her forever home. Currently in Korea — available for adoption to Canada/US Apply to adopt or foster Pearl: https://adoptmekr.org Please visit our Facebook or Instagram. Pearl is a loving, joyful young dog who will make a wonderful companion for a family ready to grow with her ##2609383##
