Story
Meet Libby: From Brave Street Mama to Your Future Couch Queen! If you have been searching for a loyal, fiercely loving companion to completely spoil, you have got to meet Libby! At 3 years young and 15 pounds , this beautiful Dachshund-Corgi mix ("Dorgi") is a resilient survivor with a heart of pure gold. Libby’s backstory is straight out of an inspiring movie. She was found surviving on the rough streets of Fresno, California, bravely protecting and caring for her puppies. She was a phenomenal mama, but now that her pups are safe and grown, it is finally Libby’s turn to be the pampered baby. ✨ Why Libby is an Absolute Treasure: The Ultimate Girl’s Girl: Libby absolutely adores women! If you’re a lady looking for a devoted companion to share your morning coffee and couch sessions with, Libby is your perfect match. (She can warm up to gentle, dog-friendly men over time, too!). The Two-Week Transformation: Because of her street past, she plays it cool at first and prefers not to be scooped up right away. But give her just 2 to 3 weeks of patience, and the magic happens! She will happily crawl close for gentle kisses, demand couch cuddles, and eagerly let you pick her up. Ready for Adventures: While she loves relaxing at home, show her a harness and give her a little encouragement, and she transforms into a joyful little explorer ready to sniff the neighborhood by your side! Low-Maintenance Sweetheart: Libby is totally content being your one-and-only spoiled princess, or she can easily share her space with other calm, small-breed dogs. Libby’s Dream Home Checklist: A Peaceful Sanctuary: Libby is looking for a calm, low-traffic, adult-only home (no kids, please) where she can fully let her guard down. Dog Companionship: Big, high-energy dogs make her nervous. She needs a home with no large dogs, though she thrives as an only dog or with other calm, small pups. A Mother-Daughter Bonus? Libby’s darling 1-year-old daughter, Lexxi , is also at our rescue! If you have room in your heart for a mother-daughter dream team, they can be adopted together. If not, Libby is completely ready to fly solo and capture your heart on her own. Adoption & Application Details: Adoption Fee: $450.00 (Includes her spay, microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations). Location: Senior Dogs and Friends Rescue, Arlington, WA. How to Apply: Please visit our website at www.smallpupsrescue.org to submit an application.

Meet Cody: A Sweet, Gentle "Dorgi" Looking for a Patient Heart If you have a soft spot for quiet, sensitive dogs who just need a little time to bloom, meet Cody! This 13-month-old, 15-pound Dachshund-Corgi mix (a "Dorgi," a breed famously loved by Queen Elizabeth!) is a gentle young pup searching for his perfect guide in life. Cody arrived at the rescue with his mother and siblings. After separating from the females, he and his brother, Charlie , became incredibly close. Cody is the more reserved of the two, but he is fiercely curious about the world and deeply wants to connect. He is a quiet observer who loves routine, snacking on treats right from your hand, and listening to a gentle voice. Cody’s Dream Home Setup: A Canine Companion: Cody must live with another dog. He relies heavily on a confident dog friend to show him the ropes and will happily follow them everywhere. A Securely Fenced Yard: Because Cody hasn't learned to walk on a leash yet, a fenced yard is required so he can safely explore, sniff, and play while he builds confidence. (Case-by-case exceptions considered if you reach out!) An Adult-Only Sanctuary:{C} Because of his shy nature, a quiet home without children is best. Due to his Dorgi prey drive, he cannot live with cats or small animals. What to Expect on Your Journey Together:{C} {C} Building Trust:  Cody is still getting used to human touch, though he now happily lets us stroke his face. He needs a patient adopter, preferably with experience with shy dogs, who will let him approach at his own pace. Leash & Harness Training:  Because our rescue ranch is near lots of wild animals, Cody hasn't done leash walks yet. His future family will need to start leash training very slowly indoors or in the yard using positive reinforcement. Double the Love? Cody would absolutely love to be adopted with his brother, Charlie! However, if you already have a gentle, friendly dog at home to mentor him, Cody will do just fine on his own. Cody is healthy, neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and completely ready to start his next chapter. He just needs a patient soul to show him that the world is a safe place. Our rescue team will be right by your side with training guides, tips, and ongoing phone/email support to ensure your transition is a beautiful success. Adoption Details: Single Adoption Fee: $450 Brotherhood Discount (Cody & Charlie together): $595 Apply today at: www.smallpupsrescue.org   October 16, 2026, 7:14 pm

Meet Lexxi: The Gentle Tricolor Princess Ready to Bloom! If you have a heart for the quiet ones—the sensitive souls who just need a safe, patient sanctuary to show them that the world is a beautiful place—meet Lexxi! Relaxing at our ranch in Arlington, WA , this 1.5-year-old, 15-pound Dachshund-Corgi mix ("Dorgi") is a stunning black-and-tricolor beauty waiting for her happily ever after. Lexxi's life started with a lot of heavy chapters. She was found surviving on the rough streets of Fresno, California, running with a stray pack alongside her mom, Libby. After being caught and facing a heartbreaking overcrowding crisis at the shelter, our rescue stepped in to save them. Now that the chaos is behind her, this incredibly sweet, quiet girl is finally ready to let her guard down and trust. ✨ Why Lexxi is an Absolute Treasure: The Ultimate Couch Companion:  Lexxi is the quieter of her family pack and absolutely loves relaxing on the couch. She is impressively well-mannered, peaceful, and the perfect buddy for low-key movie nights and cozy afternoon naps. Blooming Day by Day:  Now that she is out of the loud shelter environment, Lexxi is slowly coming out of her shell. Watching a young, sensitive dog gain her confidence and learn to smile is the most rewarding feeling in the world.{C} {C} The Sweetest Friend:  She is an easygoing, gentle soul who gives wonderful companionship. While she won't be a guard dog, she will be a deeply devoted partner in life. A Built-In Safety Net: To make sure it's a perfect match, we offer a Foster-to-Adopt period ! This gives you plenty of time to bond with Lexxi while our rescue team backs you up with ongoing training tips, support, and guidance. Lexxi’s Dream Home Checklist: A Calm, Adult Sanctuary:  Because of her past trauma and anxiety, Lexxi needs a quiet, peaceful home without children. A Patient Guide for Walks:  Lexxi technically knows how to walk on a leash, but because our ranch has large wild predators (like bears and cougars!), we don't do formal walks here. Her adopter will need to reintroduce her to a harness slowly and gently indoors or in a secure yard using lots of yummy treats. The Power of a Mentor: Lexxi relies heavily on other dogs to feel brave. She would be overjoyed to be adopted with her beloved mom, Libby ! If she flies solo, she must go to a home with another friendly, gentle dog to help mentor her. Winning Her Trust: Lexxi naturally trusts women first and is a bit afraid of men. If there is a man in her future home, he can easily win her heart by leading her feeding routine, offering treats by hand, and using a soft, gentle voice. Adoption & Application Details: Adoption Fee: $450.00 (Includes her spay, microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations). Location: Senior Dogs and Friends Rescue, Arlington, WA . How to Apply: Please visit our website at www.smallpupsrescue.org to submit an application.

Story
️ APPLICATION WARNING: PLEASE MEET MIA. SHE IS A 5-YEAR-OLD "DORGI," AND HUMANITY IS CURRENTLY ON PROBATION. ️ We are just going to lay the cards on the table. Mia was abandoned at a groomer. Someone dropped her off for a blowout, never came back, and Mia spent the day smelling like lavender shampoo while realizing her family was trash. Because of this, Mia has transitioned into her Villain Era, and frankly? We support her. She has ABSOLUTELY ZERO FUCKS TO GIVE. She is physically built like a low-riding baked potato, but mentally operates like a retired mob boss who is heavily protected by the Witness Protection Program. Mia’s life goals are simple, elegant, and completely non-negotiable: Peace. Love. A high-quality split Elk antler to aggressively chew on while you work from home. Hugs, kisses, and belly rubs strictly on HER timeline. Do not try to force your emotional agenda onto Mia. She is an independent contractor. If she wants a belly rub, she will flip onto her back and request an audience with you. If she does not, please respect her boundaries, or she will look at you with the profound disappointment of a mother whose adult child just told her they are dropping out of law school to become a professional mime. We need to discuss her indoor/outdoor transit policy because Mia does not "request" things. She issues executive orders. OUTDOORS: She will politely ask to go outside into her MANDATORY FENCED YARD. INDOORS: She will DEMAND to come back inside. If you do not open that door the exact millisecond she decides the Washington rain has offended her, God help your soul. Open the door immediately, and nobody gets hurt. MIA’S "PREFERRED CUSTOMER" ELIGIBILITY CHECKLIST: ❌ ONLY WOMEN ARE DEEMED WORTHY. Mia has looked at the data and decided men are a design flaw. She naturally prefers women and wants to be a fiercely loyal shadow to a single woman. If you are a man applying for Mia, please don't. She will judge you. CATS ARE DINNER.  This is not a drill. Absolutely no felines. Mia views them as a high-protein menu option, not roommates. DOGS ARE A NUISANCE.  Mia has zero interest in making canine friends. She does not want a buddy; she does not want a pack; she wants to be the solitary queen of her castle. THE SPA POLICY.  Despite her rough exterior, Mia has the silkiest, most luxurious coat  you’ve ever felt. She knows she looks spectacular and likes to be kept prim, proper, and beautifully groomed. However, DO NOT TOUCH HER NAILS  if you do not hold a professional degree in canine cosmetology. Attempting a rogue nail trim will result in Mia instantly vanishing under the bed with her Elk antler clutched to her chest like a weapon of self-defense. Leave the paws to the pros. READ THE MANUAL.  Because she is highly protective of her kingdom, she thinks everyone she doesn't know is an assassin. Senior Dogs & Friends Rescue provides a literal step-by-step introduction guide to help her warm up to strangers. You will follow it, and you will use the treat-testing tips, or Mia will fire you. Also, a quick note for delivery drivers, neighborhood solicitors, and anyone brave enough to approach the property: Go ahead. Bang on the front door like a boss. See what happens. Because the real boss inside is 25 pounds of pure, low-to-the-ground fury, and she will make you rethink every single life choice that led you to her porch. Mia has an adoption fee of $395 , is spayed, and is fully vetted. You don't own Mia; you just pay the mortgage on her house, manage her security detail, and provide the antlers.  October 16, 2026, 7:14 pm

FIRST STEPS: Please visit https://www.save-a-mutt.org/adoption-application/ to fill out an application - a Petfinder Inquiry is not the adoption process. We don't do meet and greets until applications have been approved. All our dogs are located IN Washington State - we are a local foster based rescue and no transport from another state required. :) Thanks! --- Meet Lola. She was originally part of our 'Take Out' litter, and we split the litter with a local shelter. Fast forward a year+ and the adopter from that shelter knew that we rescued the entire litter and rather return her to a shelter, they wanted to know if we would take her into our foster program. We said yes! Lola is actually big dog / little dog. Half Cheweenie, half large breed mutt! Now, Lola is adorable, head strong, smart, sassy, loves her humans! She was originally adopted by an older couple who were not ready for her teen energy, and they thought they were getting a much smaller dog. Lola is now full grown and about 26# - to be fair, that's a 'chunky' 26# as she is bit overweight. She's just 18 months old. She also didn't get a lot of socialization outside the home and it took her about a week to join in the play and antics of the foster's other dogs. Lola still can be a little stand-offish with the resident dogs. We think she would LOVE and needs to be an only dog at this time - the center of attention, because she adores her people. We recently took her to an event and she was ALL tail wags. Happy to see people, happy to say hello. Lola is crate trained and sleeps in one at night. We recently discovered she's not traditionally housebroken. The previous owners were allowing her to use washable potty pads in the home. Argh. Our foster is working on changing this behavior, but routines will likely need to be established in her new home. Lola would benefit from training, going on walks, burning off energy. The other littermates who were adopted through Save-A-Mutt are doing great and have made amazing pets... we think Lola will too, she just needs an experience adopter who will give her guidelines and love. There is a 3 year old in the foster's home and Lola is a bit cautious around her, so we think kids over 10 would be best. She is not a fan of the resident cat, a feline free home would be best for her. This dog is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for transitioning a rescue dog into its new home and helping it to settle in. It suggests that the first three days should be used for adjusting to its new surroundings, the next three weeks for training and bonding, and the first three months for continued socialization and training. Each dog goes home with a goody bag including collar/leash, toys, chews, Kong, and more. You will receive all medical records, microchip transfer form and other paperwork at the time of adoption. Adoptions typically take place in Stanwood. Adoption fee is $325. Save-A-Mutt is a registered 501c3 and half of your adoption fee may be tax deductible. Save-A-Mutt is a foster based rescue, we do not have a facility to visit. Our adoptions are typically done Monday - Saturday, we are closed on Sunday’s to give our volunteers at least one day off. You must be available to do meets and adoptions during that time frame. We can make exceptions only with the approval of the foster home. Please note, we have approximately a 300 mile adoption radius - Portland OR area and Vancouver BC is the farthest north. We don’t ship dogs, once approved you must pick them up in Snohomish County, WA. Canadian adopters must be able to come to Stanwood WA to pick up your dog.
