Story
Animal Profile: Annie is an 11 week old Lab X (we are calling her a pocket lab she's tiny, best guess) who will be joining us on Monday 03/09/2026. She was found in the street late January at just 8 weeks old infested with fleas and worms. Our rescue partner took her in gave her the treatment and love she needed. She is eagerly awaiting her freedom ride to the Pacific Northwest. Foster Update:   Annie has always showed a sweet demeanor and a will to get better! She loves the company of humans; may be shy at first when introduced to other dogs, but she then warms up to them. Annie is a little intimidated by big dogs and may prefer sm all-medium size, but she will come around if given the time.   Annie loves toys, all kinds, big and small. She finds them soothing and would normally walk around with a toy in her mouth all the time. The cutest :)   She’s very playful and loves to cuddle on the couch!  She’ll probably do better in a house with other 4 legged friends, she loves to follow along!  She rides very well; very calm on the passenger side!  Annie has the cutest grunt and likes to hop when she’s excited about toys!  Still working on potty training but I will say she’s 90% trained with regular potty schedule. We are working on crate & leash training. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, microchip with registration, and health certificate. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. All adoption fees go toward the care of all dogs in our rescue.  Apply Online: www.DogGoneSeattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog is being transferred from  Animal Advocacy & Rescue our partner in Del Rio Texas and arriving via Byrsie Express to the Seattle area. This dog will be fostered in the greater Seattle area and available for adoption once evaluated in foster care.March 17, 2026, 10:56 am

Story
Eddie wants to be your best friend and constant companion! He loves to snuggle and he's a classic lap dog! He loves to ride in the car, and he will happily ride in your purse or backpack. He likes other dogs and loves to play. He is good with cats. He's a little shy with new people but he is a gentle soul who warms up quickly, especially if he can have treats! He loves chewy toys and squeaky toys. He's doing very well on his potty training. He is good at going outside, and he will also use wee-wee pads indoors. He's a great work-from-home companion. He'll hang out in his dog bed and play with his toys while you work, although he's happy to sit on your lap and join your Zoom meetings. He's learning commands like Sit and Stay, and he loves practicing positive reinforcement. He walks well on a leash. He does need human companionship and wouldn't be a good fit for a home where he would have to be alone, and he will also need some training and support for separation anxiety. A fully fenced yard would be ideal and children 7 years and older. (An adoption fee of $500 is required.) If you are interested in this dog, please go to the Adopt page of our website where you will find a link to an adoption application form. https://www.chewdogrescue.org/adopt If you have previously submitted an application form to CHEW, there is no need to reapply. Just let us know you're interested in this dog. We do our best to match families and dogs so everyone is pleased and the placement is permanent. We reserve the right to refuse an applicant if the home situation is incompatible with the needs of the rescue dog. Rescue is about doing our best for the dog. We do home and reference checks. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and are up to date with current vaccinations before being placed in their forever homes.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to SEA💟 Meet Hanchi❤️ ​​💙 Name: Hanchi 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: Estimated 10 months (Born in May 2025) 💙 Weight: 7.5kg (16.5 lb) 💙 Update Account: @_adogs_ ​1⃣ Health Status * ​Spayed: Completed. * ​Others: Microchipped. * ​Diagnosed with Stage 3 chronic kidney disease. She requires lifelong management, including regular check-ups every 6 months to monitor anemia and kidney levels. She must stay on a prescription kidney diet and consistent supplements. ​2⃣ Rescue Story * ​Hanchi is the daughter of #AdogsMoana and was staying at the Gimje Shelter with her siblings. When the shelter became overcrowded beyond capacity, the dogs were unfortunately placed on the euthanasia list. We rushed to rescue them to escape the sweltering summer heat and the rapid spread of infectious diseases common in shelters. ​3⃣ Personality & Characteristics ​❗ Note: As she is still a young puppy, she may exhibit separation anxiety, teething/nipping, whining, accidents, howling, or barking. Ongoing training is required. ❗ Since her parents are unknown, it is difficult to predict her full-grown size or shedding levels. * With ​Humans: Loves people and is friendly even with strangers. Greets others with a wagging tail, enjoys resting in your arms, and loves playing—she is truly a sweetheart. * With ​Dogs: Greets new friends cautiously. Plays energetically with dogs of similar temperament and is polite enough to give space to dogs that are unwell. * With ​Cats: Gets along well with cats and plays nicely with kittens in the center, though she might chase a cat if it suddenly bolts. * ​Separation Anxiety: Stays calm and behaves well when left alone. * ​Potty Training: 100% success rate on pee pads. Also holds it well during car rides. * ​Grooming: Is very patient! Behaved perfectly while having her legs washed and is great with drying, brushing, and nail trimming. * ​Walking: Has been training well to get used to a leash at her foster home. * ​Car Sickness: Not fully determined yet, but she hasn't shown any specific symptoms of motion sickness. * ​Mouthiness/Biting: Very little biting. It is mostly puppy teething; she shows no signs of defensive biting. * ​Barking: Has some "demand barking," but it isn't severe. Barks at the sound of the digital door lock but stops quickly. * ​Likes: Loves toys and is a huge fan of tug-of-war. * ​Dislikes: Is not a fan of taking her medicine. * ​Special Talents: When you say "House!", she sprints straight to her designated spot! Also does a pretty good "Paw," though she's still perfecting it.

Story
Hopscotch is a neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on shots, house-broken, 2 year old, 65 lb sweetheart with endless wiggles and cuddles. He’s obsessed with people and getting pets, and he’s always ready to be your buddy. Very playful and curious, Hopscotch loves to go. Go explore, go in the car, go through any open door (he is a certified “door dasher!”), go on hikes, and he would be thrilled to join you on adventures. He’s a quick learner and very food motivated, he knows some commands but like many young pups he’s still working on his manners. He’s also working on his walking skills. For now, he needs a strong walking partner. Hopscotch still has a lot of puppy energy and can be mischievous, so he’ll do best with someone excited to keep training and help him burn off that energy. He loves squeaky toys and puzzles but loves attention from people the most. Hopscotch loves seeing other dogs but may do best with dogs that match his energy. He plays hard with people, too, and should not be in a home with younger children. He is fully up to date on his vaccinations. We don’t know how he does with cats. Ready to meet this loving, energetic, cuddle bug? Fill out an application for him at https://alternativehumanesociety.com/statement-of-interest-dog/ ##2684301##
