My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sweet Salem hopes to celebrate her 3rd birthday in November in her forever home with people that love her!

Salem is well socialized with people, likes kids, and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. While there are no cats in her foster home, she is curious about cats that visit her back yard and will chase them – her interest appears playful, not aggressive, we do have a video of her meeting an indoor cat and it went well. You can see the video by copying and pasting this link into your browser. https://www.facebook.com/MikeysChanceCanineRescue/videos/6634345253260856

She’s on the smaller side – weighing in under 50 pounds and she maintains her weight by eating a diet that works for her and her sensitive tummy – She eats Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Duck and Potato.

She knows sit and shake and “help you” (which means stop what you’re doing and let foster mom see what’s going on) and understands leave it. She still has a lot of puppy energy and likes to get her zoomies out. She plays fetch like a pro and likes to tease you with her toys before she gives it back. She also enjoys walks anywhere, but along the river where she can see the ducks and squirrels are a favorite – she would make a good hiking buddy and probably running buddy as she does quite well on a leash. She’s also a great passenger in the car and enjoys rides.

She is sweet, affectionate, and cuddly and wants nothing more than an active forever home – one with another dog of similar size and matching energy would be preferred. A secure 6 ft fenced yard is required and if there are children in the home over the age of five would be best.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an adoption application to be filled out which includes personal references. An in-Home check by a Mikey's Chance volunteer is also performed prior to adoption. Our dogs come to the adopter "ready-to-go" with current Vet health checks, all shots and vaccinations current and the animal spayed or neutered, as well as micro-chipped.

Our adoption process can take 2-4 weeks to process as we are run completely by volunteers, all of whom work full time jobs.

Go meet their pets

We depend on a network of volunteers and fosters for the care of our dogs. The dogs are fostered primarily in Tri-Cities, WA. We often have Meet 7 Greet events at Petsmart and Paws Natural Pet Emporium LLC both in Kennewick.

To find out about these and our other events check us out on Facebook or at our website at MikeysChance.com.

More about this rescue

"Mikey's Chance" is a dog rescue organization organized under Washington State articles of Incorporation as a Non-profit Charity. We focus mainly on saving dogs that are at risk or on “Death Row” in shelters in our area, and placing them to great families. We work with individual adopters, private rescuers, and rescue organizations that share our values. All our dogs are up to date on shots, sterilized, and microchipped prior to adoption, and they are all carefully evaluated to ensure the best possible match with adopters.
