My story

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

Flippy was found on the street on a very rainy day. Very thin, shy and full of
fleas. Once she was rescued and taken to the vet, we found out that she
didn't have bone on her lower jaw. It seems she was born like that. She still
had some remaining teeth in very poor condition, and eventually all her teeth
were removed. But that doesn't prevent her from eating without problems
dry food. She just needs small size kibble and if possible, senior.
She was taken care for, gained weight and came out of her shell.
She is a happy and very sweet lap dog which bonds easily with people and
enjoys playing with other dogs. She currently lives in a small shelter with
other little dogs and cats. Loves to be in someone's arms.
Potty trained in patio o during walks.
Ok with leash. She enjoys not very long walks.
She may protect resources if her human is nearby.
Ok with other dogs.
Ok with cats.
Ok in crate.

We have adoption events each Saturday at Wet Noses Dry Paws in Tacoma (411 Fawcett Ave Tacoma) from 2-4. Not all dogs listed will be attending but it is a great time to come and socialize with them in a play setting.

More about this rescue

501c3 non-profit l est 2019 l

We have been fostering dogs since early 2019 through various rescues.

What better way to showcase them then in a playful, happy, loving environment with other loving dogs in our community.

Recently we have started changing things as we are looking for our pups to go into foster homes/foster to adopt. 


We typically fly dogs in from over capacity shelters in Texas, drive puppers over from Yakima, and still have an amazing relationship with a partnering rescue in Mexico.
