Story
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.

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.

Tofu is a little spit fire. He loves to walk and play in the yard with friends. He is full of energy that he needs to burn off. He will need a home that is active and doesn't have some small kids. He loves to play ball and then climb up on the couch and watch a movie. He is a little bundle of love. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and chipped. He can be tranported anywhere in the US and Canada. ##1508381##

✅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.
