Story
Hi! My name is Matey and I am available for adoption.I was brought in by my previous owner on July 2nd, 2026, because they could no longer keep me with them where they were living. I lived in a home with other dogs and a cat. My previous owner described me as extremely friendly, sweet, and a great dog. I weigh 45 lbs and am considered might have a little more growing to do. I am a very smart dog! My previous owners started that I know `sit`, `stay`, and `down`. I am an affectionate lovebug who would be thrilled to cuddle up with you at home!I am a puppy!! I will need to find a home where someone is available for me in these early days. It is important to be consistent with me and socialize me so I can have the best companionship with people and other animals. Puppies require patience because everything is brand new so I will need some TLC while I learn. I am not potty trained or crate training yet and teaching me those skills will help tremendously on a road to success! If you and your family are ready to fall in love my awesome self, please check me out!

Hi! My name is Donna and I am available for adoption!I am a happy girl looking for my forever family!I love treats and I know how to sit and lay down! Because I am so treat motivated I can learn anything you teach me! Sometimes I am so excited about my treats I am not always the most gentle, we reccomend putting the treat on the floor for me:)I love toys and running around the yard! I like long walks and love chasing a ball. I am still learning my manners, so I may get so excited I jump on you. Staff is working on this with me and they tell me `off`Because I dont always know how big I am, I would do best in a home with older children.I can be a calm couch potato too!

Story
Animal Information: Skeeter is an estimated 6 year 12 lb chihuahua who was a stray intake to Tulare County municipal animal shelter and at risk for euthanasia for length of stay. He's been housed with multiple other small dogs (all adopted) but is passed over because, well, he's a middle aged black chihuahua. There's nothing wrong with him, just a normal little dog, friendly with other dogs and people. His time is now! He's coming to rescue! We look forward to getting to know him in foster care.  Foster Profile: Skeeter is a friendly, charming little guy who quickly wins people over with his affectionate temperament and confident, easygoing manner. He walks politely on a leash, is reliably housebroken, and is quiet in the home, rarely barking. He ignores the resident cat and shows little interest in other dogs during walks. At home, he has formed a strong bond with my resident dog, following him everywhere and seeking close companionship. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, heartworm test, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166). Apply Online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: Skeeter was a stray intake to Tulare County and at risk for euthanasia due to length of stay. He'll be arriving to DGS on Monday 6/22 via our rescue partner Furry Freight, and available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.July 5, 2026, 2:32 pm
