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 Chino! Chino is a 4-year-old Maltese looking for a calm, patient home where he can be someone’s one and only. This little guy is learning what it means to be loved and cherished — and while he may be shy at first, once you earn his trust, he’ll give you his whole heart. Watch his video here and come back to read more about him! https://youtu.be/7dnuzhZ3kR4 Chino is still getting used to affection, so he needs someone who understands that trust takes time. He would thrive with a single person or older adult who has prior dog experience and can offer consistency, quiet, and love. Once he feels safe, he’ll be your faithful lap dog — content just being near you. He walks well on a leash, is treat-motivated (especially when cheese is involved!), and is working hard to be on his best behavior to earn your affection. Chino lives in a home with small dogs like him and BIG dogs too. He is a not playful with any of his foster dog brothers. He prefers to lay in bed with his person and lap up all the affection and love. When his foster dad comes home he runs up to his leg and paws for attention. If you have a soft heart, a patient spirit, and an open lap, Chino may just be the loyal companion you’ve been waiting for.

The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.    The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs.   It doesn’t stop there!

Meet Eddie 11 lbs | 10 years young | Neutered | Microchipped | House Trained Don’t let his tiny size fool you, Eddie has a huge personality packed into his little 11 pound body. With one ear that has a mind of its own and an endless supply of charm, he’s impossible not to love. Eddie is the definition of a loyal companion. Whether you’re heading out for a walk, settling in on the couch, or gearing up for ball time, he’s happiest by your side. And don’t be fooled when it’s time to play ball, Eddie means business! He takes fetch very seriously and will enthusiastically let you know when it’s time for another throw. He’s a world class cuddler who absolutely loves being petted, enjoys being carried, loves his daily adventures, and never says no to a tasty treat. While he’s confident and independent, he also enjoys curling up close anytime of the day and will happily soak up all the affection you’re willing to give. Eddie would do best in a quiet, predictable home where he can continue to thrive. He gets along well with small dogs and dog savvy cats but prefers not to share his space with large dogs.Because he values his personal space, he’s looking for an adult only home without young children or frequent visits from them. Eddie has overcome so much during his time in foster care. After learning that people can be trusted, he’s blossomed into a loving, affectionate little guy. Like many dogs with difficult pasts, he communicates through his body language and benefits from people who understand and respect his boundaries. He does have a fear based bite history, so he’ll need an experienced adopter who is committed to continuing the structure and training that help him feel safe and successful. Eddie does require ongoing medical care and a special diet, but his daily routine is wonderfully simple. He takes one medication and one supplement each day and he takes them like an absolute champ! Eddie’s perfect home includes: Someone patient who will let him adjust at his own pace A safe space, such as a wire crate, where he can relax Lots of love, understanding, and plenty of walks, games of fetch, cuddles, pets, and being carried around like the little prince he is Eddie isn’t looking for a perfect family, he’s looking for the right family. Someone who will see beyond his past, appreciate his quirky personality, and love him exactly as he is. If you’re ready for a sweet, devoted best friend who will make you smile every single day, Eddie is ready to meet you. ##2249906##

Meet Leia! We don't know much about early in her life, but her previous owners moved to housing that did not allow them to take her along. They thought that Leia may have been used for breeding before they got her, but she is fixed now and ready to be part of your family. Leia, although vocal, is very friendly with people and does well with gentle children. Her estimated birthdate is in 2016, but she is still a lively dog. She is being monitored for a heart murmur, but currently does not require medication to treat it. We have not seen her interact with cats, but she may enjoy having a small canine friend. Leia needs a securely fenced yard with no gaps 4" or larger for her safety. Visit our website to fill out an Adoption Application http://www.wagsequimwa.com If you have any questions, please email: office@wagsequimwa.com. Most of our dogs require a fully fenced yard, this does depend on the individual dogs needs and safety requirements. Adoption donation fee up to $350 (Please understand this adoption donation goes towards helping all the dogs we rescue) July 16, 2026, 12:10 pm
