Maltese puppies and dogs in Washington

This is Yukon he's one year old and is so loving and smart he will be your best pal all he wants is a family or person who will have the energy and time to spend with him out doors. He needs space to run thats when he is the happiest and loves playing with dog friends at the parks. Grooming is important to keep up on with him he dose have lots of hair and it is a job to keep up on. He needs a yard with a good fence for his protection

Tucker Lull has two speeds: happily trotting somewhere and standing straight up on his back legs like he's has something very important to say. No one taught him this little trick, it just seems to be the easiest way to get a better view of whatever is happening around him. It's hilarious every single time, and it's only one small part of what makes Tucker such a fun little dog to be around! Go watch Tucker Lull, the Little Dog with the Big Smile on YouTube, then come right back to read more! You'll quickly notice that Tucker seems to smile through just about everything. Watch him eagerly greet new people, bounce around with his joyful energy, and keep an eye out for treats. If you catch him standing on his back legs to investigate the action, you've witnessed one of his signature moves. Estimated to be around 5 years old, Tucker weighs approximately 11 lbs and appears to be a Maltese-Shih Tzu mix, though as with all rescue dogs, his breed and age are simply our best educated guess. Tucker is the kind of dog who assumes everyone is a potential friend. He loves meeting new people and rarely contains his excitement for long. His greetings usually involve enthusiastic little hops as he tries to get close enough to say hello. There's nothing reserved about Tucker. He wears his happiness right on his face, and that signature smile seems to follow him wherever he goes. He's currently fostered with two other dogs and fits beautifully into the group. They spend time together throughout the day in their playpen, play well as a pack, and even sleep side by side at night. Tucker clearly enjoys having canine companions around and has become an easy member of the household. Mealtimes are relaxed too. He free feeds without any food aggression and happily shares space with the other dogs. Playtime is one of Tucker's favorite parts of the day. Balls are easily at the top of his list, and he always seems ready for another game. Treats are another favorite, making him eager to learn. He already knows "sit" and enjoys working for snacks. One of my favorite moments was watching Tucker interact with my five-year-old nephew. Tucker happily accepted treats from him, politely walked beside him on leash, and handled the whole interaction beautifully. My nephew's biggest observation afterward was simply, "He's really good at walking on the leash!" I couldn't have said it better myself. Tucker walks wonderfully on leash and makes neighborhood strolls feel easy and enjoyable. At home, Tucker has excellent manners. He's fully house trained, confidently uses a doggy door, and hasn't had accidents in the house. Grooming isn't exactly his favorite activity, but he handles the rest of daily life with ease. He doesn't mind being picked up for a quick cuddle, but he'd much rather be back on the ground exploring. When he's ready to be put down, he'll give an adorable little wiggle to let you know he's got places to go. He's also done well on short car rides, riding quietly in his crate for trips around five miles without any trouble. Speaking of crates, Tucker settles in nicely and doesn't fuss much when it's time to relax. Cats and kittens in the foster home are kept separate, so we aren't sure how he'd do with feline friends. What we do know is that he does wonderfully with other dogs, enjoys children, and genuinely loves being around people. Tucker would be happiest with a family that wants a dog who's ready to be part of everything. Whether he's greeting visitors with joyful little hops, chasing after his favorite ball, walking politely around the neighborhood, or making everyone laugh with his impressive balancing skills, Tucker has a way of making ordinary days feel just a little brighter!

Meet Panda! Little Panda is around 4 years old and came to us with his friend Alexander. They did not come from a loving home but they are adjusting well in their foster homes.  Panda is a friendly boy. He loves people, loves attention and is very affectionate. He gets along well with other dogs but has not met a cat. We think he will be fine with kids too (over 8 is great). Panda is an energetic boy who loves his walks. He is not a couch potato though he can relax alongside you just fine. He does not like to be alone - which is not uncommon for rescue dogs. They are a bit unsettled and that can cause some attachment to humans he likes. He can learn to spend time alone here and there. He can bark at times and for this reason is not suitable for apartment living. He is working on potty training - he did not learn this in his previous home - and his foster mom is working hard to help him understand. He is catching on an doing well.  Panda is scheduled to be vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $450 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life!

Meet Dobs! Our little friend Dobs was rescued from an overcrowded shelter where he was listed to be euthanized for space. We're so glad to have him with us and doing well in his foster home. Dobs is a friendly, happy, easy going guy. His favorite thing is to be with a person. He loves cuddling and getting pets. He enjoys short, leisurely walks. He sleeps quietly in his crate at night but would much prefer to sleep in bed with his person. He’s a good eater and loves treats. While he generally gets along with other dogs he seems to prefer the company of people and can get snarky if he thinks another dog might get his food. He is very affectionate, is fine being left home alone and super happy to greet his people when they come home, gives kisses and can be a little mouthy when he’s seeking attention. He is house trained, takes care of business when he’s taken outside. He is generally very quiet but will give an alert bark when someone is at the door. He’s an overall sweet, loving dog that just wants to find his forever home. Dobs is vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $395 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life!
