More About Me: Hi! My name is Rachel (I’m also called Sunshine-must be my sunny disposition). Basically I’m 4.5lbs of pure joy wrapped up in a little Chihuahua body (or so my foster mom says). I’m crate trained AND potty trained. I’m not much of a barker, but will let you know if someone is at the door. I get along well with my foster brothers and sisters and am respectful of their other boundaries. In the summer I love basking in the sun (see why I’m called Sunshine?) – My other favorite spot is cuddled up on my foster moms lap – or at least close to her. I’d like a fenced in yard – I’m not a digger or jumper – I just want to feel safe and secure. I love when my foster moms friends visit – they’re always happy that I warm up to them so quickly because they like holding me – what can I say – I’m a great little dog!!!
FOSTER UPDATE Welcome new arrival Rachel to rescue. Rachel is a very loving little girl. She is a happy girl that loves her people. She has started to play with her canine foster siblings and enjoys their company. She needs a little time to adjust to her new people and doggy friends, but once she does she is yours for life. She is a very devoted and loyal girl. She likes to give kisses and play with her family. Rachel is a wonderful little girl with so much love and devotion to share.
History: Rachel has arrived from an overcrowded WA shelter. NWIPR was asked to pull Rachel and find her a great home. We are so glad to have her join us in rescue.
NWIPR IS AN ALL VOLUNTEER REGISTERED NON-PROFIT 501c3 PUBLIC CHARITY
Your adoption donation is used to care for and vet the many dogs that enter into rescue from overcrowded shelters where their time is running out-ultimately they are on death row. Your adoption donation goes directly to the care of the many dogs that enter into rescue. All dogs leave rescue vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped, wormed, flea treated, and medically checked out. In some cases they receive dentals, ear flush, surgeries, and so on to ensure that they are healthy and ready to be adopted. Your adoption donation is very much appreciated and needed to help care for the many needy dogs that enter into rescue. New adopters receive a FREE exam coupon at a local veterinary clinic in Lynnwood OR a $30 care voucher to a veterinary chain (so be sure to ask about these coupons if you are interested). NOTE: Please do not email for more dog info. This is all the info available until approved application is received and then you can talk directly to that dog's foster home for further info. Thank you!
NWIPR's adoption process includes completion of an adoption application, a vet check, screening, in person meeting, a home visit and a lifetime adoption contract. NWIPR is the pet's advocate and will select the most suitably matched home for the dog's general and unique needs, therefore adoptions are not done on a first come first serve basis. We reserve the right to refuse service and adoption for any reason.
PLEASE NOTE: The information contained within this pet's biography is based on observations from the current foster home. NWIPR is very honest about the pet's behavior and needs (and provides up to date information), we cannot guarantee they will behave in the same manner in a different environment with new owners as individual household dynamics vary greatly.
CONSIDER FOSTERING A DOG
***Do you or someone you know have the desire to help a rescue dog? If you have a loving heart, dog experience, a safe and secure yard and the notion to make a difference, please consider fostering a rescue dog. There are MANY dogs that we just do not have room for and just one person can make a world of difference to a dog that needs a safe place to rest his or her weary paws.....***
