Story
Sweet, goofy 1.5 year old male pitty(fixed) needs great home. Woud be best as only dog, not because he's naughty, just because he hasn't been around other dogs much. Not good with cats. He is house broke, but occasionally chews a little. Needs plenty of exercise, his favorite activity is chasing his ball as long as you will throw it. Knows basic commands, sit, down, come, get it( the ball). Is a whiner lol. Really he has no serious bad habits, loves the car and the beach. Takes a minute to warm up, but is a super sweet dog. Sticks around without a leash. If you can give him a great home, come meet him. I'll be picky, he's a member of the family, not just a dog.

Story
This is a hard post to write, but I want what’s best for my little guy. Chewie is a 7–8-year-old deer-headed Chihuahua. I love him dearly, but our busy, kid-filled home has become overwhelming for him. He’d be much happier in a quiet, adult home with lots of calm and cuddles. Chewie is neutered, house- and crate-trained, very cuddly, and loves to sleep under a blanket. He knows basic commands, is treat-motivated, enjoys car rides and walks, and is up to date on shots. He occasionally has mild tummy issues a couple times a year that resolve with rest per the vet. He was attacked by a large dog in the past, so he’s nervous around big dogs but may warm up to gentle, smaller ones. He’d thrive with a retired couple or older single person, ideally with a fenced yard or leashed walks. If you’re looking for a sweet companion to keep your lap warm, please reach out — I just want the best home for him. Located in Everson, WA. Adoption fee applies to ensure a committed home.

🐾 Meet Cookie! 🐾 This sweet boy is a male Chihuahua mix who’s ready to find his forever home! 💙 ✅ Neutered ✅ Vaccinated ✅ Microchipped ✅ House-trained Cookie is playful, affectionate, and LOVES roughhousing with other dogs. He’s also a total cuddlebug who enjoys sleeping in bed with his people and giving kisses. He’s smart, listens well, and loves being part of the action! 😘 He currently lives in a foster home with dogs, chickens, and birds — and gets along great with all of them. He will chase cats if they run, so a confident cat is best. 💬 He’s cautious with new people and will bark to let you know he’s unsure, so he needs a home that’s patient and willing to give him time to settle in and build trust. ❗️No young kids — Cookie does best in a calmer environment with adults or older, respectful teens. 🐕‍🦺 We’d love to see him in a home with another playful dog — he really thrives when he has a buddy! 🏃‍♂️ He’s an active little guy, so his ideal home will be one that enjoys walks, playtime, and keeping him engaged. 📍Ready to meet him? Apply today at: www.mainstreetmuttrescue.com Give Cookie the chance to settle in — and he’ll reward you with endless love. 🐶❤️ #AdoptDontShop #RescueDog #ChihuahuaMix #PlayfulPup #MainStreetMuttRescue #AdoptCookie

Story
Petey’s journey started in Puna, where he was found roaming with a group of dogs before coming to us through our life-saving partnership with County of Hawai‘i Animal Control. Now this 9-month-old pup is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and most importantly — ready to find his forever home! Petey is past the hard part and excited for what’s next: a family to love, adventures to go on, and a couch to claim as his own. 🐾💙

Story
🐾 Adorable Doodle / Shar-Pei Puppies Ready for Homes 🐾 This adorable litter of Doodle / Shar-Pei mix puppies is ready to begin searching for their forever homes. They are expected to grow into medium to large dogs, likely in the 40–50 lb range, as both parents are around 50 lbs. While no mix can be guaranteed, they are most likely low-shedding. These pups are smart, playful, and cuddly, with personalities that are hard to resist. They will thrive in homes prepared for the time, training, and commitment that puppies require. Each puppy will go home with a veterinary wellness exam, first set of vaccines, and microchip. We anticipate they will be ready to go home after January 21st. If you’re looking to add a fun, loving companion to your family and are ready for the responsibility of a growing pup, these babies may be the perfect fit. 📌 Applications: www.mainstreetmuttrescue.com
