Story

Animal Profile: Midge is a tiny cutie that is looking for a new home here in Seattle . She is estimated to be 3 years old and weighs just 5 pounds. Midge is bound to find a lucky family here in the PNW! Foster Update: Miss Midge says you can keep your long walks on the beach, your mountain hikes, and your Sunday mornings at the Farmer’s Market. You can also save your tennis balls and squeaky toys for a dog that cares. Midge is a card-carrying introvert and the first two words in her love language are Warm and Safe. This gentle and quiet soul chooses to spend most of the day napping in her heated she-shed (crate). If you want to woo this sweet girl, you’d be wise to invest in warm blankets, heating pads and tiny winter sweaters. She gets COLD! Midge was plucked from the toasty SW desert, and she does not appreciate our beautiful, crisp fall and winter weather. Don’t get me wrong, Midge isn’t standoffish. Once she feels safe, she will greet you with the most adorable wiggles and kisses. However, she is very sensitive and would do best in a nurturing, serene, adult-only household. She is polite with our small resident dog but doesn’t seek out his attention. Midge has gained confidence in the safe space of her foster home, but we are still working with her to gain confidence in the outside world. A walk on unknown territory is met with a "I'll pass" from Midge. While Midge doesn't seek out attention from the resident, another confident canine companion in the home may just show Midge the ropes. Bonus – Midge sleeps through the night like a champ, and she likes to sleep late! Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, and microchip with registration. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. All adoption fees go toward the care of all dogs in our rescue. Apply Online: www.DogGoneSeattle.org/adoption-application Animal History: This dog is arriving from San Bernadino via Wiggle Butts Transport on Sunday 10/20/2024. She will be available for adoption in the Seattle area. December 28, 2024, 1:19 pm

Story

Animal Profile: Cricket is a very petite cutie that is looking for a new home here in Seattle. She is estimated to be 5 year old, and weighs only 5.5 pounds! Cricket is bound to find a lucky family here in the PNW! Foster Update: A true cuddle-bug at heart, Cricket is the definition of a "velcro dog." She loves nothing more than to be held close, nestled in your arms, curled up on your lap, or snuggled up in her little bed next to you on the couch. She's a champion sleeper and will happily snooze the day away by your side. Don't be surprised if she tries to climb into your coat or sweater for maximum snuggles! We like to call her the pocket-sized pup with a big personality. This little lady has a big personality packed into a tiny frame. She loves to prance around and be the center of attention. Cricket enjoys car rides and errands, always ready to be your stylish copilot. While Cricket is friendly with our small resident dog, she's not overly interested in playing with him. She'll cutely scrabble around the floor chasing a toy of choice, but really prefers to spend her time cuddling. She's a quiet girl who is also crate-trained and sleeps great through the night. She has done pretty well with her potty training, but will still need a consistent routine to get the hang of things. Cricket would enjoy an adult-only home where she can be an active member of the family. She'll make an awesome companion while you work; glad to be burrowed in a warm blanket nearby. True to her chihuahua nature, she loves a good sunbathing opportunity and she thrives with leadership. She is loyal, and bonds quick & hard. She'll thrive with a family that can be the confident leader in the household, where she can follow the lead rather than feel the need to take on the role as pack leader.

Story

Animal Profile: Oliver is a petite chihuahua mix who is estimated to be around 13 years old and weighs only 6lbs. He was confiscated from a home with 41 other dogs, many of whom were seniors. Oliver has received his dental, vaccines, and blood work and is now Seattle-bound. He was rescued from Moreno Valley Animal Shelter in CA. Foster Update: Meet Oliver! Do not let this boy's estimated age fool you - he has the spunk and stamina of a 2 year old pup. He doesn't fully appreciate his senior status, as he considers himself a munch younger fellow, and he proves it with the pep in his step as he prances around his foster home or out on his walks. Oliver is convinced that any bag can easily be converted to a dog bed with the right approach, and he is determined to show the world that senior dogs can have a blast too. Oliver is good with other dogs and cats, and he just adores his humans. We hope you're ready for a pup that melts your heart, because this boy knows how to lean into your chest and gaze into your soul. He'll gladly curl up on your side, and he is very accepting of pets and belly rubs. He is working on his crate training, and he is great about doing his business outside. His mobility is pretty good and he has the energy for long walks (check out his video!), but he can be a little wobbly/uncertain on stairs and struggles at times with his spacial awareness. Oliver received a full dental prior to his arrival in Seattle, along with all of his vetting and bloodwork. He is now officially ready to find his forever home in Seattle. He just wants to know, who is the lucky family that will welcome Oliver in?

Meet Milton WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Milton - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Hey all you fabulous folks out there, I'm here in search of a home, a family...one I can say is ALL mine!! I am so ready for Christmas, is Santa coming to grant my wish? Since you're reading this, maybe you could tell him I'd love that family to be with YOU!! I am around 8 years old and came from a hoarding situation of 96 dogs all in a small house, yes 96 dogs, where our living situation wasn't very good. I am so appreciative of all the little things that most dogs take for granted. A kind word, a gentle pet, a soft bed, some tasty treats!! I am so very loving, coming for some pets every chance I get and my favorites are ear scratches and belly rubs. I would probably do best in a quieter home where my person(s) work from home or are retired.! I do great with people once I get to know them but would probably do best in a home with just older kiddos. I do wonderfully with the other dogs in my foster home from big to smaller and also the resident kitty. I am crate trained but will need some continued work on housetraining. My chill easy going personality will make a great companion pup for your family. I'd even be great for a first time pet parent!! I get so excited to see you when you get home even if it was just to get the mail!! I don't really play too much with toys but I do love snuggling on a soft blanket! I will also be your lil shadow, following wherever you go...that lil heartbeat at your feet! If you would like a BFF to help you with your errand runs, a constant in your life to share in your joys and sorrows...oh my, I AM your boy!!!! I come in at about 15lbs of pure love ready to unleash it ALL on you. If you think we could be a perfect match please stop scrolling and fill out my adoption application.

Story

Animal Profile: Jackie is a 1 year old, 10lb chihuahua that has been through it in her short life.Jackie was dumped in a graveyard in Texas with her brother, covered in mange. Once she received treatment and was healthy, she made her way to the PNW, with kennel cough. She recovered from that in foster care, and was adopted. Long story short due to a horrible accident in surgery for a potential obstruction, Jackie lost 75% of her small intestines. Her owner was unable to provide the care she needed during her recovery, and since she was suffering from short bowel syndrome she needed round the clock care. Jackie was returned to the rescue and put in the care of the Assistant Director. Medication and prescription food weren’t working to address her symptoms, so we attacked it from the nutrition side. With lots of patience and a quality diet of Honest Kitchen, dehydrated carrots, and a high dose of digestive herbs and enzymes, Jackie has normal, solid, pick upable poops!! She did so well at an event with 75+ people, she can be shy but girl doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She loves other dogs, big and small, and even plays with cats! She is healthy and ready to find her forever home. Jackie will need to be fed a special diet (Honest Kitchen) and supplements when adopted. Her body does not digest kibble well, and she does best on less processed, human-grade foods. Foster Update: Jackie is incredibly curious and goes with the flow. She's got lots of spunk and knows how to go go go, but also has a nice off switch when it comes to snuggling. She loves to play with the resident dogs in her foster home, and would do well with a canine companion or two but it isn't a requirement. Jackie is good in her crate and has good leash manners. She loves attention and is very affectionate. Basically anytime I have taken her out of the crate she jumps up to try and snuggle(we are working on curbing the jumping up part). She is very comfortable being carried and held and will be a wonderful addition to one lucky family!

Story

Animal Profile: Vixen is an adorable chihuahua mix who is estimated to be around 7 years old and weighs ~18lbs. She was rescued from Moreno Valley shelter in CA. Foster Update: Vixen's foster mom shares, "She is a sweet girl who LOVES her humans, toys, toys and more toys and treats! She is settling in well, and has been pretty good with her potty habits and we are working on teaching her recall. She does just fine around our 2 dogs. She has played a few times with one of them and she is pretty respectful with the other one who doesn't really want anything to do with her, but she is inquisitive so it may take her a few times to learn not every pup is interested in engaging. Vixen doesn't mind being in her crate for meals, bedtime, etc. It isn't uncommon to catch Vixen playing with her toys by herself, but you may need to toss it once in a while. It's her facial expressions that are truly priceless! She is a sweet, funny, and playful girl that is excited to find a forever family of her own. Because Vixen has shown a tendency to play with hands (we are working on this), she would do best in a home without young kids.

Story

Benny is a 7-year-old, 12lb Chihuahua/Terrier mix looking for his forever home. He is extremely strong-willed and loaded with personality. He wants to be in control and needs a strong alpha owner. Once he bonds to his person, he is a lover! Benny is a velcro dog. He keeps tabs on his human and likes to be near them and protective. He is very aware of his surroundings. He is territorial, but with consistent socialization, he has overcome much of his aggression. His forever home will need to continue socializing him, his behavior will continue to improve. He is a funny little guy that thinks he is a cat - he likes to stand on your shoulders or crawl on top of things to explore. Benny has a very strong prey drive and will chase cats, rabbits, birds, squirrels, etc. He is not an excessive barker and is quick to recognize recurring noises and adjust his behavior. He is extremely smart and learns fast. He is also a talker and he will talk until you figure out what he wants (humans are so slow). When he is not snuggling, he is very independent and does his own thing. He does not like to be disturbed when he is busy or sleeping. He knows how to sit and shake hands. He will guard resources at first, but not once he feels safe. He does not exhibit separation anxiety and is not destructive. He can react when his harness is put on or removed and seems sensitive about his tummy. He also reacts to entrances and exits as he does not like change. His forever home will need to give him lots of patience and support so he feels secure and can relax. Benny is good with calm female small dogs and some large dogs, he has very strong preferences in everything. His behavior will alter depending on his doggy friend. NOTE: Benny is fearful and untrusting with men. It's our recommendation that he be in a female household with no kids or cats. Households should have rescue or fearful dog experience. He will be aggressive when meeting for the first time. Benny is in foster care and is bonded with Marzi. We are looking to adopt them out together. Benny is UTD on shots, neutered and microchipped. His adoption fee is $300.
