Story

Say Hello to Archie, a wonderful 1 1/2-year-old pup currently searching for his very unique forever family.Archie is a special needs dog who is visually impaired; he has no sight in one eye and very limited sight in the other. However, he has successfully navigated his world since birth, and his limited vision hasn't slowed him down one bit. While he may bark if he is unsure of where his person is, a soft voice and a moment in your arms helps him orient himself.Archie is incredibly playful and loves to run in the yard once he is familiar with the perimeter. Because of this, a fenced yard is a requirement for his new home. Once he finds your lap, he is a world-class cuddler who is generous with his kisses and loves to be caressed. He currently enjoys playing with his foster dog and loves to shake his soft toys to entice others to chase him.Archie has proven he would be excellent at blind dog agility classes, as he is always up for an adventure. He would do best in a focused and determined household with children aged 10 years and older. Are you Archie's forever home?(An adoption fee of $500 is required.) If you are interested in this dog, please go to the Adopt page of our website where you will find a link to an adoption application form. https://www.chewdogrescue.org/adoptIf you have previously submitted an application form to CHEW, there is no need to reapply. Just let us know you're interested in this dog. We do our best to match families and dogs so everyone is pleased and the placement is permanent. We reserve the right to refuse an applicant if the home situation is incompatible with the needs of the rescue dog. Rescue is about doing our best for the dog. We do home and reference checks. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and are up to date with current vaccinations before being placed in their forever homes.

GoldFish

Shih Tzu Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)

Male, 4 mos

Seattle, WA

Size

Details

Story

Gold Fish is a Shih Tzu/ toy Poodle puppy. He is a sweet pup with a big heart. He likes to play with his toys and can self-entertain, though he prefers human interaction. Goldfish is learning to play fetch with a poof ball and loves being praised when he returns it. He loves cats, but can sometimes be a bit too energetic for them. Goldfish enjoys Zoom meetings and is an excellent office companion. He will happily play and nap while his person works from home. Goldfish sleeps in a crate at night with his foster sister. After a few whimpers, he goes right to sleep and generally sleeps through the night. He likes a nightlight in the room. During the day, he will sometimes choose to sleep in his crate for naps, though he prefers to nap in a bed or lap near his people. Goldfish does a good job of going to the bathroom outside each morning. He will also go potty outside anytime he is outdoors. When in his room/pen, he usually goes on the mat. However, when out in the larger areas of our house, he tends to go wherever is convenient, so he needs help learning to go win appropriate places. Goldfish is playful and snuggly when in a room with his people, however, when left alone in a room, he tends to whimper for a minute until he settles. He is good with cats and dogs and Ok riding in a car. He is one terrific little dog! -----  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.

TopKnot

Shih Tzu Pointer

Male, 9 mos

Story

Top Knot is a Shih Tzu puppy and he loves to play with toys. He's very good with other dogs and cats. He sleeps in the bedroom near his humans in a pack n play. He does not want to be right in the bed, but does not want to be alone. During the day he sleeps in the office on a rug. He watches the other dogs go on a mat and will go on it occasionally and then, sometimes he just goes wherever he is. He is very timid and afraid so when he goes somewhere other than the mat we give him general encouragement to use the mat instead. We just clean it up and move on. He was used to cleaning up after himself (yuck) when he was in his kennel, so picking it up very quickly to try to stop him from doing that is good. He is nervous around every one. I think he will grow out of this but he's just not there yet. His good with other dogs, cats, and cars. He's very sweet and if you can win his trust he is just going to need some extra effort to get to the point where he trusts humans. He is so sweet and he deserves lots of love and care. -----  A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters: Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained.

Bouffant

Shih Tzu

Female, 2 yrs 4 mos

Seattle, WA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story

Bouffant is a 2 year old Shih Tzu. She’s a bit shy around other animals (cats and dogs) but not aggressive. She is still opening up a bit, but only time will tell. She has experience around other small dogs, but not around big dogs or high energy dogs. She likes to be carried around and snuggle on laps. She is not timid or aggressive. She sleeps in the bed. She has a play pen but she escaped by climbing the side so that does not work. “ So far pretty good with potty time as long as she goes outside a lot. She does not like the rain much. She is nervous around the cats and dogs a bit but may warm up with time. She does not like it when other dogs are barking. She is sweet and gentle and not all that playful yet. She probably just needs some time to come out of her shell as time goes on. -----  A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters: Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained.

BeefJerky

Shih Tzu Pointer

Male, 4 mos

Seattle, WA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Beef Jerky is a Shih Tzu puppy with a curious spirit, a playful side, and just the right amount of cuddle. He’s the perfect little sidekick who loves being near his people—following you from room to room—but doesn’t need to be glued to you 24/7. BeefJerky is a confident little explorer who enjoys checking out his surroundings, playing with toys, and having the occasional playful wrestle with other small dogs. That said, he’s also grown comfortable being a solo pup and would do just fine as your one-and-only or with a canine companion. He’s not possessive of his humans and has shown no signs of aggression—just a happy, curious puppy figuring out the world. He’s great with kids, though like many puppies, he appreciates his space when he’s tired and may give a gentle “hands off” warning. He’s perfectly comfortable being handled by his trusted humans and absolutely loves greeting you with sweet little kisses. Beef Jerky is already picking up on some basics—he knows how to sit and is working on “lay down.” He’s very food motivated (which helps a lot with training!) and has no issues around food. He’s doing well with puppy pads most of the time, though he’s still learning, and hasn’t quite figured out going potty outside yet—but he does love exploring the yard. At night, he sleeps in a crate or playpen and does well. He may wake up briefly for a little nighttime wiggle or play, but settles back down easily. He’s comfortable in his crate and has even made it his little treasure den—don’t be surprised if your socks or shoes mysteriously disappear and end up tucked away with him! 😆 He also has a soft spot for cozy spaces like baskets, where he keeps his favorite blankets and toys. BeefJerky rides well in the car after a short adjustment period and has even done great in a backpack carrier while out and about. He’s a quiet, adaptable pup who just wants to be part of the action—whether that’s playtime, adventure time, or winding down at home. BeefJerky is truly a sweet, silly, and lovable little guy who’s ready to find his forever home. Whoever adopts him is getting a loyal companion with a playful heart and lots of love to give. -----  A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters: Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained.

BlowOut

Shih Tzu Pointer

Male, 4 mos

Seattle, WA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Story

Blowout (Gus Gus) is seriously such a special little puppy. He may only be about 5 pounds, but you would never guess it with how confident he is. He carries himself like a much bigger dog and doesn’t let his tiny size slow him down one bit. More than anything, he just wants to love and be loved. He’s always giving kisses, snuggling in as close as he can, and following his people around so he doesn’t miss out on anything. He has a really playful, happy personality and absolutely loves being around other dogs. He plays hard with the other dogs, doing everything he can to keep up with them like he’s one of the big boys. It’s honestly so cute to watch because he puts his whole heart into it. He doesn’t give up and doesn’t seem to realize how small he is. That fearless attitude makes him a lot of fun, but it’s something that can be stressful since he’ll jump right into anything without hesitation. When he’s not playing, he’s usually trotting around exploring or just being his happy little self. He loves his toys and bones, and that boy loves to eat! He barks like a maniac if he sees himself or anyone else in a mirror, it’s hilarious to watch! He’s curious about everything and already thinks he can do big things, like going up the stairs (with supervision), although going down is still a little too scary for him right now. He has the cutest little squishy face, complete with an adorable little black beard. Because his face is so small and smooshy, when he drinks water, he kind of dunks half his face in the bowl, leaving his little beard dripping and soaked, it’s the cutest thing ever. He also snores pretty loudly for such a tiny little guy. One of the best things about him is how he’s always walking around with his tongue hanging out like he’s smiling. He truly just seems so happy all the time, like he’s out here living his best little puppy life and enjoying every second of it. Overall, Gus Gus is a loving, playful, confident little guy with a big personality packed into a tiny body. He would do best in a home that will give him lots of love and attention and keep up with his playful energy. He would thrive in a home with another puppy/dog to snuggle, protect him and that he can follow around. -----  A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters: Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained.
