***MUST SUBMIT APPLICATION before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thank You for your cooperation***
Please read listings fully to the end before applying for one of our beloved rescues.
WE ARE NOT A SHELTER; WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS.
Please do not contact us to look at a dog. We will contact you once we have reviewed your completed application if we think your home might be a good fit. A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog.
We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes around WA state & Oregon but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA.
Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Zelle, PayPal, if using PayPal the potential adopter will have to pay the fees & charges with PayPal.
Muffin has seen & witnessed so much evil in her life. She was pulled out of a slaughterhouse with one of our other rescues Basil. Soul destroying to think of what she has been through & yet she still loves human beings even after everything she has seen, heard & her previous life. We cannot even begin to imagine what Muffin witnessed & heard when she was at the slaughterhouse. How Muffin ended up in a slaughterhouse for human consumption & yes you did read that correctly, we will never know? What we do know is, she was pulled out of there by our outstanding Chinese rescuer just in time.
Working with one of our truly devoted, dedicated & absolutely outstanding Chinese rescuers she rescued Anna & many others for us. Without this beloved rescuer going in & getting Muffin out, her fate was a torturous death. We believe every sweet soul such as Muffin & her friends deserves to be loved & cherished & given the chance to have a wonderful life.
Now Muffin is looking for a special family to cherish her & be patient with her & remember what this beautiful soul has been through & a family that meets all his needs.
Muffin was rescued by our truly amazing Chinese rescue friends & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Chinese rescue who we are so extremely thankful for what they do day in & day out for these babies, we cannot thank them enough.
Muffin was bought back to the USA where she is now a US citizen & is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find her new loving devoted forever home.
Muffin had no idea what was going on at first but my oh my did she pick up things so quickly. She now sits there & stares at her foster mum with so much love. She knows her world is so very different. Her foster mum said she is such a beautiful soul & gets so excited at times, ie when it’s time to get up, dinner time, going for adventures.
She radiates gratitude. She just wants you to love her & she will love you back. She adores being hugged & held because the reality is we are the first real people in her life to show her such true love & affection apart from a day or 2 at her foster home in China.
She is a really smart girl too because on the day of arrival in her foster home she taught herself to run up hardwood stairs & follow her foster mum.
When she finds people who love her they become his world. She is such a soft gentle schnauzer her foster mum said with a very sweet personality.
She loves to run & play with her foster siblings & must go to a home with another dog who will play with her.
She loves a good outfit & will get ready for you to put one on her.
Anna eats a clean diet, meaning raw fruits, raw vegetables, 70 % raw proteins, grains, fats & supplements. She also enjoys collagen sticks & bully sticks.
All of her treats are homemade & we are still putting more weight on her.
Muffin has been taught to walk on harness & leash & has been doing wonderful. She would need continued work walking on her harness & leash. Muffin is a rescue & will need patience, time & understanding. Muffin adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing him, cleaning his eyes, grooming her, baths, the hairdryer she loves it all. She also does extremely well being touched in general & adores receiving love.
Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Muffin & we have been excited to change her world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment. So far she has not started showing interest in toys in her foster home.
Muffin has learnt to ride in the car & does well in the car & enjoys a good car ride. She is such an amazing, loving little lady. With Muffin we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lad only. Please do not apply with the intent to crate this girl. We are also looking for a forever home for Muffin where someone is home during the day or Muffin can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them.
Muffin is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love her as she should be loved & be very patient with her & understanding.
Muffin has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & she is currently with other dogs & enjoys their company. She can be found at times snuggled up to her foster siblings & will want to sleep in bed with you & she does in her current loving foster home.
A fully fenced backyard is mandatory for Muffin’s new forever home if it’s a free standing home.
Muffin is now roughly 14.33 lbs & 5 years old. She is spayed & a schnoodle & what she is mixed with we are not sure? She had a dental while in China & she is microchipped, up to date on her shots including DHLPP, rabies & dewormed.
Once these shots expire we will not redo them except rabies as we will not over vaccinate our beloved dogs.
We have spent over $2000 on Muffin with bringing her to the US with her travel airfare paying for her medical care, including, shots, spay microchip etc, than her adoption fee comes close to covering.
Muffin has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals. We have not had Anna with small children so we do not recommend children, but it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & animals.
We were not there when Muffin was conceived so we do not know who her parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think her breed is.
As with all of our rescues & Muffin’s friends she will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Muffin potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond.
We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying.
Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Muffin & going through our process and have read her listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit using Zoom followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Muffin who understands her needs & that meet all the requirements for this lovely sweet lady.
Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt.
Muffin has an adoption fee of $850 & is ready for her truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what she has been through.
