Story
Lady Di is just her undercover alias. Around here she’s known as Cookie ( or Cooks, if you’re one of her friends ….which happens to be everyone:). This 11 month old 10 lb shih tzu is serving up serious cookies and cream perfection with her adorable and less sheddy black and white coat. She’s as sweet as can be and everyone loves her….just like a cookie. Kids? Loves them. Dogs? Loves alll her foster friends and there are six plus a cat and two kittens. Now…for the headline you’ve all been waiting for….. * COOKIE IS POTTY TRAINED! Not mostly, not working on it…actually potty trained…like she goes to the front door or back and scratches on it to go out. Hallelujah! I been fostering a loooooong time and this is gift I tell you. Cookie isn’t your typical wild child pup. She’s very calm unless she see’s a cat or squirrel. With the squirrels …her intentions are questionable... so no squirrel friends!! She loves a nice short walk outside ,but will also cuddle up on the couch. She is crate trained, but would rather sleep in your bed and has earned the right with those excellent potty skills…. I mean she is a LADY after all. She’s a sweet ,gentle gal with great manners ready to steal your heart and for sure your spot on the sofa. Hope you are ready!!! Local adoption fee is $450 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $700 (includes transport to your area)

Story
HeraPheri is sweet, playful, lively and also, a little bit cautious. She loves to be held, loves her chew toys, and approaches her meals at a pace that suggests she is savoring every single bite and would appreciate it if everyone just slowed down a little. She's not picky; she's mindful, okay? She takes her time warming up to new things and new people, but once she's comfortable, she's an absolute lovebug. She's good with other dogs and kids, and would do best in a home that appreciates a dog who comes out of her shell on her own timeline. The people who give her that space are going to get a sweet, playful, cuddly little girl who was absolutely worth the wait. -----

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.

Story
Meet Jasper and Chloe! This sweet pair of seniors are in a long-term relationship, and we cannot separate them after 45+ dog years together. They are in need of a home that can open their hearts to both easy-going dogs. Jasper, a Shih Tzu born in August 2011, is ready to go with the flow. Need someone to lend an ear (despite not being able to hear that well) or just be a calming presence? Jasper is your guy! Chloe, a Bichon Frise mix born in September 2014, is quite the friendly gal. She is missing some teeth, leaving her tongue hanging out of her mouth in an adorable fashion. She is scheduled for a double knee replacement, and will need a home that can help her recover. Jasper and Chloe are great little dogs who would love to join your home! Visit our website to fill out an Adoption Application http://www.wagsequimwa.com If you have any questions, please email: office@wagsequimwa.com. Most of our dogs require a fully fenced yard, this does depend on the individual dogs needs and safety requirements. Adoption donation fee up to $350 (Please understand this adoption donation goes towards helping all the dogs we rescue) July 16, 2026, 12:10 pm

Story
apori is sweet, playful, and perpetually in motion. She barely sits still for more than a couple of seconds, which her foster reports with what we can only describe as fond exhaustion. She loves tug-of-war with her brother, is very curious about her surroundings, and has a touch of separation anxiety when her brother's not around, though her foster expects that to fade as she settles in. She sleeps cuddled up with him in their shared enclosure, eats well, and is making progress on potty training. She's just a very energetic, very sweet, very curious little puppy doing puppy things at full speed. -----
