Story
Animal Profile: Hugo is a 2-year-old, 13-pound Rat Terrier mix with a big personality packed into a small frame! This cheerful little guy is full of spunk and loves to play, whether it’s with big dogs, small dogs, or anyone ready for some fun. Sadly, Hugo found himself at risk in an overcrowded shelter simply because there wasn’t enough space. But despite it all, he never lost his happy spirit or wagging tail. His playful energy and friendly nature shine through in every interaction. Foster Update:  This spirited 2-year-old Rat Terrier mix joined our rescue last November and has been making impressive progress ever since. Early on, Hugo showed some bitey behaviors around handling and resources he wasn’t ready to share, but with the help of a dedicated foster team and professional training, he’s come a long way. Hugo has spent several months working with a balanced trainer and has really thrived. He loves learning, enjoys training sessions, and is always up for playtime. He’s an active, outgoing little guy who would do best with someone who can continue to engage both his body and mind. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and rides well in the car. Hugo can be a bit vocal when he gets excited and definitely has a touch of FOMO, he likes to be part of the action! He warms up quickly to new people and enjoys making new friends. Hugo is looking for an adult-only home with experienced dog owners who understand how to provide structure and consistency. To set everyone up for success, his trainer will offer a go-home lesson and follow-up support to help ease the transition. Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, recent exam with a veterinarian, and microchip with lifetime registration. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. All adoption fees go toward the care of all dogs in our rescue.  Apply Online: www.DogGoneSeattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog was rescued from Stanislaus shelter in California, arriving to foster care in Seattle on 11/13 via START.

Story
Some dogs dream of big families, noisy households, and endless social gatherings.Chimenea is not one of those dogs.Chimenea is a dog for people who understand the value of true friendship. The kind that doesn't need to be shared with everyone. The kind that is built one walk, one adventure, and one quiet moment at a time.For years, Chimenea lived a life of waiting. And while waiting may have taught him many things, it also made him certain of one important fact: life is better when you have your person nearby.He enjoys exploring the world, going for walks, running around, and making sure everyone notices his impressive presence with a few well-timed barks. After all, being handsome is a responsibility.Chimenea isn't interested in being the life of the party. He'd much rather be your loyal sidekick, your walking companion, your little shadow. Give him affection, play with him, show him kindness, and he will gladly take on the very important job of protecting your heart—and perhaps your home, too.Additional information about applying for the position of Chimenea's trusted accomplice, including photos and video evidence, can be found here: https://hope4lapawz.org/wp1/chimenea-2025069DLike many independent souls, Chimenea appreciates proper introductions and a little patience. He can live with other dogs when given time to get to know them, because friendships, in his opinion, should never be rushed.At six years old, Chimenea is handsome, healthy, vaccinated, neutered, and ready for his next great adventure.What he's looking for now isn't just a home.He's looking for his human.And if you choose him, don't be surprised if he chooses you right back.This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.

Story
Anastacia: The Reluctant PrincessAnastacia has not yet decided what she thinks about strangers.This is not because she is unfriendly. It is because, as any sensible princess knows, one should never hand out royal privileges too quickly.When Anastacia meets someone new, she prefers to observe first. She watches. She thinks. She gathers information. Then, little by little, she decides whether you seem worthy of her friendship.Fortunately, Anastacia's standards become much easier to meet once she gets to know you.Additional evidence that Anastacia is, in fact, a princess can be found here: https://hope4lapawz.org/wp1/anastacia-2026043D.Underneath her careful introduction process is a sweet, playful puppy who loves toys, enjoys adventures, and considers splashing in water to be one of life's greatest inventions.She also adores other dogs and would happily spend her days running, playing, and inventing games with her canine friends. In fact, Anastacia firmly believes that every kingdom should include both toys and playmates.Like all young puppies, she is still learning about the world. Every day brings new discoveries, new experiences, and new opportunities to practice the important skills of being a happy family dog.Anastacia's story began under difficult circumstances. She and her family were found searching for food, hungry and struggling to survive. Thankfully, those days are behind her now.Today, Anastacia is focused on much more important matters: collecting toys, making friends, taking naps, and finding the perfect family.Preferably one willing to recognize her royal status.After all, every princess deserves a kingdom of her own.This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement.

Story
Karlota: Collector of KissesKarlota believes there are many wonderful things in the world.Toys are wonderful.Running is wonderful.Playing with sisters is wonderful.Putting her paws in the water is wonderful.But if you ask Karlota to choose her favorite thing, the answer is easy.Kisses.Karlota is a cheerful little puppy who approaches life with curiosity, enthusiasm, and a deep appreciation for affection.

Story
Welcome Atticus to CCPAL Rescue. Atticus is a Rat Terrier from the local breeder in Texas. He is a traditional Black and Tan Rat Terrier. He was born on March 12, 2026. He will be getting his vaccinations, neutered, dewormed and ready for his forever home. He will be a small dog full grown. 15 to 18 pounds or less. Atticus was really good in his photo shoot and sat like a big dog getting photos. Atticus is one of the middle-sized boys. He is playful and very sweet. The breeder for this litter is closing shop due to an illness. We have agreed to help get her population down starting with the puppies. This breed is smart, loyal and the puppies are affectionate. Someone who knows this breed would be best. They are energetic so a moderately active family or more active would be best for the Rat Terrier. Atticus would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Rat Terriers are great family pets and watchdogs for their family. Their training is easier due to their intelligence and a light touch is needed. They are a wonderfully sensitive breed and from experience want to do what you are asking. Atticus is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. We have an entire litter of Rat Terriers. They are from a breeder. We don’t have papers but they are considered pure bred pups. His adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See his cute video
