Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog. Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites. Roscoe is a fun, lovable, young guy looking for people committed to him for life! He is very affectionate and lovable and he's great with other dogs, especially if they like to play a bit harder and wrestle. He looks like a chihuahua, and rat terrier so may have either or both in his gene pool. Darling little tri color regardless!!! He's making progress with his housetraining as long as he gets fairly regular trips outside. When he came in, he religiously soiled in this crate and we believe someone got him as a baby who worked full time and thought a baby would just self train while being crated for 10 hours a day. That just makes them believe the crate is their toilet. So he may do better with someone who just doesn't believe in crating a dog. He loves toys, play time and giving or receiving affection. Who's looking for a doll like Roscoe? Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.

Story

Sprite is a 11 month old heeler/rat terrier mix. She loves to be with people and other dogs. She’s crate trained and house broken. She’s a very smart girl and picked up the “touch” (booping her nose in the palm of your hand) command in a single weekend. She went through a 2 week board and train program with Off Leash K9 and knows sit, down, place, come, off commands. She has good recall when off leash and can be trusted off leash in hiking areas, I would not do off leash in city type environments. Sprite can be a nervous girl so shes shy in new or loud environments but has never reacted out of fear, she just becomes very timid. She can be destructive to a normal curious puppy amount if left alone so crating her is the best option. But she does well in the crate for even 8-10 hours. She gets along perfectly with other dogs, especially big dogs that she can rough house with, and well with cats and chickens. She loves kids too. She’s a great girl and it’s devastating to have to lose her.

Story

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION. To see more pictures and some videos of this dog, please visit our Facebook page and look under “photos” and then “albums”. 1 yr old, female, Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix, about 18 pounds. This girl just wants to have fun! She is a bit higher energy and would love room to move and a friend that matches her energy (or someone willing to play with her)! She currently lives with 4 other dogs, a cat, chickens, pigs, budgies, and a bearded dragon. She’d do best with a dog savvy cat and further training with other animals cause she will want to play with them. She’s not what I’d call a lapdog, but loves to please, and is affectionate. Definitely trainable and pretty darn smart. She is a follower and will take behavioral cues from the other dogs she lives with. She’s working on not jumping up and not being reactive to people/noises at home (she’s not reactive on walks or in public). She goes into her crate with treats. Walks well on a leash and we’re working on gaining confidence on walks. She’s young, spunky and worth it! To request an adoption application, email smidgetrescue@hotmail.com Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older. Puppies are adopted with a refundable spay/neuter deposit (in addition to the adoption fee) and adopters are required to get their puppy to our vet for their pre-scheduled spay-neuter appointments. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at smidgetrescue@hotmail.com or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. 8632781We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. You must live within a three-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), so we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.

Story

Meet Chanel Name: ChanelAge: 1 year, 3 monthsGender: FemaleWeight: 13 kg / 28 lbsBreed: Mixed Wire HairColor: Black Health Spayed Vaccinated Heartworm Negative Personality & Behavior Good with dogs? Yes Good with kids? Yes Good with cats? No – she has a strong small-prey drive Resource guarding? No Vocal? Alert barker Shedding? Low to moderate – regular brushing recommended Energy Level? Medium–High (she’s still young!) Chanel’s scruffy wire coat and bright personality make her especially charming for wire-haired dog lovers. She may be a little shy at first when meeting new people, but give her just a few minutes and her confident, outgoing spirit shines through. She is vibrant, intelligent, naturally alert, and eager to learn. From her pack, Chanel has always been the most independent and secure, confidently engaging with other dogs and enjoying playtime. She forms strong bonds with her people and will be a devoted companion. She’s attentive to her surroundings and will let you know with a bark if something catches her attention. Training & Adaptability ‍ Leash-trained? Yes Good in the car? Yes Potty-trained? She will adjust well to a new home with consistent routines and follow-up habits. Crate-trained? Yes (primarily for travel) When alone: Chanel has always lived with siblings or other dogs, either in foster care or boarding. She has not regularly been left completely alone but will separate herself when she wants quiet time. If she transitions into a home as an only dog, it’s recommended she not be left alone for extended periods initially. A 4–6 hour window is ideal while she adjusts and builds confidence in a new environment. Sleeping arrangements: She currently sleeps in a kennel area alongside her two siblings. Activity & Lifestyle Chanel is agile, athletic, and has excellent stamina. She would thrive in a home that enjoys outdoor activities such as walks, hikes, and interactive play. Because she is clever and energetic, she will need a secure yard and consistent mental stimulation to prevent boredom. She loves staying engaged and learning new things — an active household will suit her perfectly. Ideal Home Chanel will flourish in a home that offers: • Daily companionship and interaction• An active lifestyle• Mental stimulation and playtime• A secure environment• Possibly another playful dog companion She would also do well as a second dog, as she enjoys canine companionship. However, she can bond deeply with her humans and thrive as a solo dog with proper structure and activity. Chanel is loyal, social, and loving — ready to build a lifelong bond with her family. Rescue Story Chanel’s story is one of patience, kindness, and perfect timing. At just two months old, Chanel and her two siblings were abandoned in a crate inside a residential complex in Guadalajara, Mexico in early 2025. Confused and vulnerable, the tiny puppies huddled together for comfort. A security guard noticed them and alerted a neighbor known for her love of dogs. Without hesitation, she stepped in and became their guardian angel, bringing them to safety and committing to their care. Rather than rushing them into adoption simply because they were cute puppies, they were given time to grow, heal, and properly develop. This thoughtful approach ensured they would find lasting homes — not impulse adoptions. Today, Chanel is ready for her forever chapter — a home where her journey of resilience, love, and hope continues. Location: Mexico (waiting for a committed trial home) Adoption Fee: $600 Apply at: www.northwestwagrescue.org Chanel is ready to meet her forever family. ##2661926##
