Story
Artie: Small Dog, Big Main Character Energy! Meet Artie! This 3-month-old Maltese is a tiny ball of fluff with a face that could get him out of just about anything. He's cute, he's little, and he's pretty sure the entire world was created just to admire him. Artie is currently working on his puppy résumé, and while he may be short on experience, he's making up for it in cuteness! -Leash skills: Learning how to walk like a proper gentleman instead of a fluffy little tumbleweed. -Crate training: Discovering that having his own bedroom isn't such a bad deal. -House manners: Still figuring out the rules, including why the bathroom is apparently outside. -Basic puppy skills: Learning the ropes of being a good boy, one tiny paw at a time. Artie is looking for a family ready for all the fun, training, patience, and occasional chaos that comes with raising a puppy. Artie is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He is being cared for in North Bend, WA

Story
Candy Love belonged to my daughter. My daughter has been sick; I’ve been taking care of Candy. Daughter informed me she doesn’t want her back. I wasn’t anticipating keeping her. I have all paperwork on Candy and she is up to date on shots. She has prescribed flea medication. I purchased a bed, clothing, leashes, and collars. Commands: Let’s go. No. Come here. At door I say: sit, wait, release, once outside wait & release after walking ahead. This is so she doesn’t tangle up at your feet. She understands: do you need to go potty? She will jump up and run to door. She licks her lips furiously when she needs to go potty. Crossing a street: Candy stop, wait, ok. When you leave, crate her. Say crate and she’ll go. At night say nite, nite and she goes to crate.She’s a very good and loving girl, loves people; small dogs are best for her to be around. I suggest children 5 and up. Candy loves laps, petting, cuddling, walks, a fenced in yard is a requirement. She skips dinner often.

Story
SweetTart is a Velcro puppy who believes personal space is highly overrated! When you come home, she gets so excited that she wants to cover your entire face in kisses. Why settle for a simple hello when you can get the full SweetTart smooch treatment? This adorable girl has the cutest little curled tail and an underbite that will steal your heart. She gets along with other dogs and doesn’t mind sharing her home with cats, either! SweetTart is still working on her potty training and learning that it’s okay when her people leave. She can be a little barky when you head out, but she’s already showing improvement. SweetTart would love a family who wants a loyal little shadow, a professional cuddle buddy, and a puppy who thinks every homecoming deserves a kissing marathon. If you’re looking for a best friend who will adore you with her whole heart (and then some), **SweetTart is ready to stick to you like sugar! Local adoption fee is $450(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $750 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Goose the Fluffy Cottonball is a tiny little dog taking on a very big world, and somehow he manages to make every inch of it look more fun. He is fluffy, ridiculously cute, full of personality, and nearly impossible to overlook once you meet him. Watch Goose the Fluffy Cottonball’s video below to see his adorable zoomies, fluffy little face, and goofy personality in action: Goose may come in a small package, but there is plenty of personality packed inside. His foster describes him as a total little goofball who loves to play, has fun bursts of puppy energy, and is especially talented at showing off some very cute zoomies. He is also making wonderful progress with both crate training and potty training, giving him a great start as he continues learning the routines of home life. Goose is cat friendly and kid friendly, making him a sweet little companion for a variety of families. Most of all, though, Goose loves his people. He is affectionate, lovable, and ready to become the kind of best bud who sticks close for years to come. And with his pocket-sized stature, Goose was practically made to be a passenger prince. He is just the right size to tag along for coffee runs, errands, road trips, weekend adventures, visits with friends, or wherever else his future family decides to go. Imagine this tiny fluffy face riding beside you on the way to your next adventure, coming home for a round of zoomies, and then settling in with his favorite humans. Goose does not need to be a big dog to have a very big place in someone’s life. Small dog. Big world. Excellent passenger prince potential. Goose the Fluffy Cottonball is ready to find his person, claim his spot beside them, and become their best little bud forever.

Story
Meet Homil!   Age: 6 years Sex: Neutered male Breed: Maltese Colour: Cream Weight: 6.2 kg Height: 33 cm at the shoulder   Rescue Story Homil was rescued from an animal-hoarding situation where many dogs were living together without adequate care. Now safe and cared for, Homil is ready to find a loving forever family.   With People Homil is a friendly, affectionate boy who enjoys meeting people—even strangers! He approaches them, rubs against them, and happily accepts pets. He is comfortable being picked up and held and may even show his belly to someone he has just met.   With Other Dogs Homil prefers human company to playing with other dogs. He is generally friendly with dogs his size or smaller and is patient even when they pester him.   With Cats His reaction to cats has not yet been observed. A cat test can be arranged.   Energy & Walks Homil has a moderate energy level. He enjoys outdoor activities and settles down quietly afterward. He has plenty of walking experience, follows his person well, and walks without pulling on the leash.   Life at Home • He has not shown food guarding toward people or other dogs. • He may bark when separated from people. His family should be prepared for possible separation anxiety and help him gradually become comfortable spending time alone. • In a kennel, he alternates between being quiet and vocalizing. He will need patience and support rather than an expectation that he is already crate trained. • He currently uses both indoor and outdoor potty areas. His family should expect an adjustment period and possible accidents in a new home.   Homil is looking for a family who will enjoy his affectionate nature and patiently support him as he settles into his new life. Could this sweet boy be your new companion? Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org  PLEASE ALSO VISIT OUR FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM! Currently in Korea Available to Canada & U.S. ##2865818##

Click the button to download the adoption application. The application is a form-fillable pdf. Fill out the form, save it to your hard drive, then email back to sian@gingerspetrescue.org Meet Dolly,  Dolly is a precious 9-year-old female Maltese weighing approximately 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg), rescued from a breeding farm in South Korea and now hoping for the opportunity to find a loving forever home. For much of her life, Dolly was kept at a breeding farm, where her purpose was to produce puppies rather than enjoy the love and companionship of a family. After nine years, this tiny little girl deserves the chance to experience the comforts that every dog should know — a warm bed, gentle affection, kindness, and the security of a home where she will be cherished. Dolly has no teeth, so she will need a family who understands her needs and can provide an appropriate soft diet. Her missing teeth and senior age should not define her future. She is a precious little girl who deserves to be loved for who she is, regardless of her past. After spending so many years in a breeding environment, Dolly may need patience, reassurance, and time to adjust to family life. She deserves a gentle, understanding home where she can settle in at her own pace and finally discover what it means to be someone’s beloved companion. Senior dogs like Dolly are often overlooked, especially those who have spent their lives in breeding facilities. But Dolly’s life matters just as much as any younger dog’s. At nine years old, she deserves the opportunity to spend the rest of her life surrounded by warmth, comfort, and unconditional love. We cannot give Dolly back the years she has lost, but we can help make the years ahead the happiest of her life. All she needs is someone willing to open their heart and give her the second chance she so desperately deserves. ❤️ Adoption Information Dolly’s adoption fee is $1,495  a non-refundable donation that helps Ginger’s Pet Rescue continue rescuing dogs in need. Her adoption fee includes: Veterinary exam Age-appropriate vaccinations Spay Microchip Heartworm testing Transport to Seattle, where applicable Breed, age, and weight are estimates and cannot be guaranteed. Ginger’s Pet Rescue welcomes adoption applications from families both within Washington State and out of state. www.gingerspetrescue.org admin@gingerspetrescue.org 206-698-8800  October 18, 2026, 6:43 am
