Story
Louie’s legs are as long as his hopes for lap-dog life are high! Estimated to be around 8 months old, this leggy little black-and-white cutie boy appears to be a Rat Terrier/ Jack Russell mix but of course, with rescue dogs that is simply our best educated guess. His adorable spotted coat, impossibly expressive face, and ears that somehow manage to stand up in perfect little triangles while still flopping around when he runs make him look like he walked straight out of a children's storybook. Add in his joyful personality, and you've got a dog that's very easy to fall for. Go watch Louie Longlegs on YouTube, then come right back to read more. His video is the perfect introduction to his playful spirit, sweet nature, and the delightful charm that follows him wherever those long legs take him. https://youtu.be/da0e4WC6yRE Louie is being lovingly fostered in a home with other dogs, where he has proven himself to be a wonderful little companion. He loves having dog friends to play with, happily shares toys, enjoys splashing around in the water, and approaches life with the kind of happy curiosity that makes every day a little more entertaining. He can be a touch shy when meeting someone new, but don't expect that stage to last long. A little sweet talk and a yummy treat leads to a belly rub request and suddenly you're one of his favorite people. Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate side shines. He loves giving kisses and firmly believes that those wonderfully long legs qualify him for full-time lap dog privileges. Louie has lived with children before and has done beautifully. He is gentle taking treats, enjoys being part of the family, and has the kind of playful personality that fits naturally into an active, fun-loving household. Whether the kids are tossing toys in the yard or everyone is relaxing together after dinner, Louie is happy simply being there. He's also a great little road trip companion. He rides well in the car and is always ready to see where the day leads. He's the kind of dog who seems to find fun wherever he goes. Because Louie is still a young dog, he is continuing to polish his leash skills. He already has the basics down and is eager to learn, so with a little consistency and positive reinforcement, he'll continue growing into a wonderfully well-mannered companion. Louies love of the sprinklers and rolling in the grass would be perfectly happy living house with a yard life and because he can occasionally bark to let you know someone is at the door or he heard something, Louie is not for apartment life. It isn't constant or excessive, but shared walls probably wouldn't appreciate his enthusiasm for neighborhood updates. If you're looking for a cheerful little sidekick with a playful heart, an affectionate nature, and enough personality to keep you smiling every day, Louie is ready and waiting for you! If you think Louie Longlegs might be your perfect match, we'd love to hear from you.

Story
** Currently fostered in Port Angeles, WA ** This sweet, prancing prince is Rigger, a loving and energetic young fellow. Nice humans are a new thing for Rigger, so he's timid in new situations and with new friends. But he doesn’t take long to warm up and give the most tender kisses. His mind and body both run at about ten times the speed of everyone else's, so he's basically a turbo-charged love machine. He can sneak in ten licks before you even realize he's in your lap! Watch him in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOC2JUp3IGI A smart boy who is willing to please, Rigger is potty trained and crate trained. He is quite motivated by food, which is a great training asset! So far, he knows "kennel" and "sit" and is enjoying learning more. Rigger is submissive with his foster mom and his two pittie foster brothers. But he is still full of sass! He loves to play with dogs more than twice his size, as long as they’re gentle and kind. He enjoys chasing, being chased, and ferociously thrashing stuffies and crinkle toys. And he loves a tasty bone to chew. He's quite athletic and graceful, trotting with high steps or leaping through the grass. This devoted pup follows his foster mom or his favorite foster brother around the house and yard. He is always happy and spunky, with oodles of love to give. We believe he’s a year-old rat terrier, though with rescues we’re never sure, of course. He weighs just over 20 lbs and is slowly gaining weight. Rigger has a journey ahead of him; he needs to discover the world and his own fortitude. He’s already come a long way in the short time he’s been in our care and we can't wait to see him build more confidence. Rigger's adopter will need to continue working with him on socialization. He is looking for a home where his human is around most of the time, with no small children, and plenty of opportunities for rigger-ous exercise. This boy needs to play a few times a day. He makes his own fun with toys if no one will play with him, though he sure prefers a playmate. He would love to live with other dogs. We don't know about cats, though, as he hasn't met any yet. If you think sweet, snuggly, timid Rigger is the right fit for your family, visit his adoption page: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6a3c3f7f292bcc77010ea377 Questions?

PLEASE NOTE! WE ARE A TEXAS-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN TEXAS AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO YOUR STATE ONCE ADOPTED. Our application can be found at haydudeequine.org. **Hi, I’m Zippy!** 🐾 I’m a 3-year-old Chi x Rat Terrier mix — a tiny 14-pound package with giant ears, endless energy, and a whole lot of personality! I’ve never met a stranger in my life. Two legs or four, I’m ready to be best friends immediately. My tail goes full helicopter mode the second I see someone I like (which is pretty much everyone). I get along great with other dogs (I love playing with my foster siblings), but what I’m really dreaming of is a person or family of my very own to shower with nonstop love and ridiculous devotion. I’m happiest when I’m glued to my humans, following them everywhere like a happy little shadow. I’m a smart cookie too! I’ve mastered the dog door like a pro and I’m doing awesome with house training. I’ve got that classic Rat Terrier spunk mixed with Chihuahua charm, so I’d love an active family who can keep up with my playful zoomies while giving me plenty of affection and attention. If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, big-eared best friend who will greet you with maximum excitement every single day, I might be your perfect little match! Ready to bring home the happiest 14 pounds on the planet? Let’s do this! ❤️

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. This dog will be available for adoption in the greater Seattle area once evaluated in foster care.July 25, 2026, 3:22 pm

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. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.
