Meet Patrick: The Head-Tilting Senior with a Puppy Heart! Don't let the 12 to 14 years fool you— Patrick is a highly active Papillon mix who completely forgot he’s a senior dog! Rescued as a stray by Senior Dogs and Friends, this resilient, low-riding gentleman acts like a dog a fraction of his age. He is a total shadow who loves following you around, tilting his head intently when you speak, and claiming his rightful spot on the couch for cuddles. Watch Patrick in Action! Want to see his youthful spirit for yourself? Check out our website to see videos of Patrick strutting his stuff on walks, playing with his favorite toys, and mastering the art of couch relaxation! The Perfect Roommate: Social Life: Loves meeting new people, gets along great with friendly dogs, and is comfortable around calm, respectful older kids. (Cats are a mystery for now!). Favorite Hobbies: Daily walks, rolling around in the grass, and listening to your daily stories. Health & Pampering Requirements: The Diet: Because Patrick has lost most of his teeth, he enjoys a delicious, human-grade soft/moistened diet. No intense daily brushing required, just routine vet checks! Fitness Plan: He is currently on a gentle weight-loss plan to keep his low-riding frame sleek. He takes daily joint supplements to stay spry, which his adopter should continue. Medical Status: Neutered, fully vaccinated, and beautifully groomed. Adoption Timeline & Details: Patrick is ready to head to his forever home this week (the first week of October) ! We are actively reviewing applications to set up meet-and-greets. Adoption Fee: $395.00 How to Apply: Head over to www.smalldogrescue.org to submit your application. Our team reviews applications within 3 to 5 days to schedule a meet-and-greet, followed by a home check. The whole process takes about 1 to 2 weeks.

Story
Ginger Sesame has lived some life, raised some babies, and has arrived at this new chapter ready to be where the people are. All the people. Always. Her foster says her theme song should be "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid, and having read everything about her, we're not arguing. She wants to be on your lap, or at your feet, or following you through every room of the house. She has decided that humans are her thing, and we support her in that. She takes a minute to decide someone is trustworthy, but once she's in, well…you get it. She loves calm children who are willing to get on her level, and does well with other dogs as long as she doesn't have to interact with them (she's not rude, just…indifferent). She prefers to be carried up stairs and does best in a home without a lot of them, or with people happy to do the carrying, thankyouverymuch. She freezes a little when approached from above, so a slow crouch and letting let her come to you goes a long way. She circles three to five times before she poops, which we just thought you should know because it’s funny. With her coat cut short, she apparently resembles a chihuahua or possibly a house elf, and her ears are wildly expressive. She is, in short, the perfect pooch in the perfect package. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

These pups are in Arlington, Washington too!

Story
OVERLOOKED & WAITING: Why has nobody chosen sweet Scout? We have a confession to make about Scout, our 6-year-old, 12-pound Cavalier-Chihuahua mix. He has basically mastered the art of the "soft launch." He wants to be your best friend—he’s just not ready to announce it publicly on day one! Scout has been waiting a long time for his forever person. Because he is a sensitive, quiet soul who doesn't instantly run up to strangers for belly rubs, he keeps getting passed over. But if you look past his initial shyness, you will find an absolutely magical little dog. ✨ The Real Scout (Once You’re In His Circle): • The Master Observer: Scout likes to watch you from a safe distance, quietly assessing if you are worthy of his affection (Spoiler alert: the bar is just patience and hot dogs). • The Snuggle Pile Champion: While he takes a moment to warm up to humans, he loves other dogs his size. At night, his favorite thing in the world is to sleep either right next to or directly on top of his dog friends in a cozy puppy pile! • The Zoomie Expert: Once he feels safe in the yard, his playful side completely takes over! He loves chasing his dog buddies, running through the grass, and just enjoying life. • A Gentle Soul: He is healthy, house-trained, and now happily lets the people he trusts gently stroke his face. Scout’s Wishlist for His Human: Scout isn't looking for a chaotic, high-traffic household. He is looking for an adult-only sanctuary with a securely fenced yard where he can feel safe. He may never be a dog you can pass around to strangers at a crowded brewery, and he might never want to be a lap dog—and that is okay! He needs someone who loves him exactly for who he is. If you have experience with shy rescue dogs, understand boundaries, and want the deep, unmatched reward of earning a sensitive dog’s trust, Scout is waiting for you. Single Adoption Fee: $395 (Includes neuter, microchip, and all vaccines) Apply to bring Scout home: www.smallpupsrescue.org Questions? Call us at 360-386-2393  October 3, 2026, 2:39 pm
