The very gentle Santa once had a home in Korea but his owner was in the final stages of their life with cancer & decided to just leave Santa abandoned in the home by himself with no one at all. Thankfully the Korean rescue rescued our adorable Santa & placed him in a loving foster home in Korea. No one was still coming to give this boy a loving forever home. Unfortunately he still could not find a home in Korea & we were asked could we help this beautiful boy & it was our pleasure to. Santa was rescued by the amazing Korean rescue & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Korean rescue & we are so extremely grateful for what they do day in & day out for these babies & there is also such a great financial responsibility when rescuing these babies so we cannot begin to thank them enough. Santa was bought back to the USA where he is now a US citizen & is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find his new loving devoted forever home. This soft gentle soul has been abandoned & left for dead but you would not know it with his wonderful & oh so forgiving personality. Santa has a lovely personality, he is warm, friendly & affectionate & enjoys a good outing. Did we mention you can pick this beautiful boy up & he will let you carry him? He loves to receive love & hugs & kisses. He also enjoys a windy day with the wind in his face. When Santa arrived to us he had waft appeared to be an old black scar on his right left leg from a previous injury but we will never know what happened to him there. He is doing well walking on his harness & leash & loved going on walks in Korea & does well here on his outings. He did end up having a foster home in Korea who worked with him & helped him flourish. We do know he adores dogs, he loves them & he absolutely needs another dog or dogs in the home for her to play with, this is mandatory. We currently have Santa with other dogs. Did we mention this boy loves a good outfit, well yes he does. In Korea in his foster home he always had an outfit on. He also is good with both male & females. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Santa until he went into his foster home in Korea & he loves toys, especially the squeaky toys so get the toy box ready for this sweet boy. Santa’s new forever home must have a fully fenced backyard. Santa is good with being bathed & is even good when being dried with a hairdryer. Santa rides beautifully in the car & loves a good journey, so great in the car. We are looking for a crate free home for this little lady only. Santa does not like crates & who could blame him after being abandoned the way he was in Korea. We are also looking for a forever home for Santa where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. Santa is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him. Santa has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs & does well. Santa needs to go to a forever home with another dog or dogs in the home, he really enjoys the company of other dogs & we currently have him with other dogs. This is mandatory along with a fully fenced secure backyard. Santa is roughly 9.2 lbs & has put on weight with us. When we got him, he was a little skinny. He is 6 years old & perhaps a maltese mix, what he is mixed with we are not sure, male, he is neutered had a dental/scale & polish, he had an incisor removed, he was treated for an ear infection on the outside of his ears & different parts of his body with otomax. He is microchipped, had a skin scrapping done & it was negative for anything. His left front leg has a dark pigmented spot on his leg that was from an old wound in Korea that they do not not know what happened with his previous owner. He is up to date on her shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, CIV, rabies, treated with credelio & dewormed. We have spent far more on Santa with bringing him to the US with hid travel costs, his medical, his dental, boarding fees etc & bringing him to WA than his adoption fee covers. Santa has not been around cats since being in the rescue, but in Korea he was in a foster home with cats & could care less. But it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have not had him around small children so we do not recommend small children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats. We were not there when Santa was conceived so we do not know who his parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is. As with all of our rescues & Santa friends he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Santa potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Santa & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit via WebEx due to covid & followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Santa who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for this special sweet little lad. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Santa has an adoption fee of $850 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.

Im a super friendly senior boy looking for a family to love!I get along great with kids, other friendly dogs, and am an overall easy keeper. I will require haircuts regularly and moderate grooming but look totally adorable afterwards! I love to go for walks, help you work in the yard or just chill and watch tv. I would prefer a family that has someone home most of the time. I would make a great companion for just about any family!

Quick Facts Name: Logan Age: 8 years old (born in 2017) Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltese Color: White Weight: 4 kg (approx. 9 lbs) All About Me Hi there! My name is Logan, and if you’re looking for a devoted companion who will always be by your side, you’ve found me! I’m a small pup with a huge heart, and my favorite thing in the world is simply being close to my humans. Whether it’s following you around the house, curling up next to you on the couch, or giving you little tail wags of encouragement—I’m always ready to shower you with love. My Personality I’m a total people-lover! I warm up quickly to new friends, and if you give me a little attention, I’ll happily roll over to show you my belly. I’m gentle, affectionate, and always eager for cuddles. I might even follow you from room to room, just to make sure you know how much I love you. When it comes to other dogs, I prefer to keep to myself. I’m polite and will say a quick hello, but I’m not the type to engage in playtime. I’d much rather spend my time soaking up love from my humans. Oh, and did I mention treats? I love treats! They are the way to my heart, and I’ll do just about anything for a yummy snack. On My Walks I’m a wonderful walking buddy! I have lots of experience on a leash and walk right by your side without pulling. Whether it’s a short stroll or a leisurely afternoon walk, I’ll be happy just being outside with you. Life at Home I’m a well-mannered little guy who knows how to settle down indoors. I’m comfortable in a kennel if needed, and I’m great with both indoor pads and outdoor potty breaks. I don’t mind relaxing on my own, but I’ll always be happiest when I’m near my favorite person. I do get excited when I want something and might let out a little bark to let you know. It’s just my way of talking to you! My Ideal Home I dream of a home filled with love and gentle companionship. Here’s what I hope for in my forever family: Someone who loves affectionate, people-oriented dogs—I’ll be your little shadow! A cozy space where I can curl up and feel safe. A home where I can be the center of attention (I don’t mind other dogs, but I don’t need them). If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will cherish every moment by your side, I’d love to meet you. Let’s start our forever together! ##2300885##

Quick Facts Name: Henry Birthday: 8 years (Born Jan 1, 2017) Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltese Color: White Weight: 2.4kg All About Me Hello, future family! I’m Henry, a sweet and gentle soul with a lot of love to give. At 8 years old, I’m a little guy who may seem shy at first, but once I trust you, I’m all about cuddles and affection. I’m a Maltese, and I’ve got the softest white fur that you’ll love to pet. My Personality I might be small, but I’ve got a big heart! I may seem a little shy when we first meet, but a tasty treat is all it takes for me to warm up to you. Once I feel comfortable, I’m ready to be your best friend. I enjoy my personal space at first, but it doesn’t take me long to open up to new faces, especially if you’re kind and patient with me. I’m not the most outgoing with other dogs—I prefer to keep my distance. But don’t worry, I’m gentle and peaceful, and if things get a bit too rowdy, I’m quick to step away and find a quieter spot. I’m much more focused on my people and love spending time with them. On My Walks When it comes to walks, I’m not in a rush—I enjoy leisurely strolls where we can take our time and enjoy the scenery together. I may pull a little on the leash at first, but I do my best to follow along with you. Life at Home I’m a calm and affectionate little guy who loves the quiet moments with my family. I’m not too active, and I tend to keep to myself at first, but once I feel safe, I’ll snuggle up next to you for some quality time. I don’t guard my food and I rarely bark. I am potty trained indoor and outdoor also I feel comfortable in a kennel. My Ideal Home I’m looking for a home where I can feel safe and loved. A family that’s patient and willing to give me the time I need to feel comfortable would be perfect. Here’s what I dream of: - A Calm, Loving Environment – A peaceful home where I can relax and be myself.- Gentle Companionship – I’d love to live with people who are kind and gentle, and I’d prefer a home without other rowdy dogs or to be only fur baby.- Plenty of Love & Attention – I may be small, but my heart is huge, and I can’t wait to share it with the right family! Last Message If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who will slowly but surely become your best friend, I might just be the perfect fit for you. Let’s take things slow and enjoy each other’s company—I can’t wait to meet you! ##2301029##
