Aberdeen Scottish Terrier Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 Web Site: www.aberdeenstr.com ***MUST SUBMIT APPLICATION before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thank You for your cooperation*** Please read listings fully to the end before applying for one of our beloved rescues. WE ARE NOT A SHELTER; WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS.

A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog. We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes around WA & OR, but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA. Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Zelle, or cash. We no longer accept PayPal due to their fees they charge the rescue but if the potential adopter wants to pay the fees we will accept PayPal. The oh so beautiful inside & out Bert whose picture screamed the disgusting neglect he was in, in a death camp of a scary shelter in CA. He was so matted & unrecognizable to the dog you see now. If you put his pictures up before & after you would not recognize him as the same dog. He was posted looking so very defeated. Yes, it appears at the age of 3 he was going to die which is absolutely unacceptable & disgusting. We rescued this beautiful little lad & thank goodness we did when we did. That day was 1 very sad & joyous day all at the same time. Without his outstanding foster mum, this would not of happened for Bert. Bert who is now looking for his very own forever home & who will never give up on him again & dump him & love him just as his foster mum in CA & his foster mum in WA here does too along with us. After we rescued Bert he was bought back to WA state from CA where he can’t wait to find him his loving forever home. The absolute insanity to think this baby doll ended up in one of the highest kill shelters in CA is soul destroying. Bert just wants to be loved. Disturbing to think no one wanted him & he was ready to die. The level of absolute madness here is so deeply sad for many of these beautiful souls out of CA kill shelters. When we first rescued him, he ate multiple bowls of food as if he is making up for lost time. In his foster home his foster mum cooks for him & he eats clean. Fruits, vegetables, grains, raw meat & other proteins along with supplements. He also adores a good treat. We believe his food was restricted prior to us rescuing him. He ate with his 2 foster siblings together in CA & in WA his foster mum feeds him separately from his foster brother who he loves. Bert is a very soft gentle soul, he is so easy his foster mum said considering what he has endured. His foster mum said Bert is a very sweet dog & loves his humans once he knows them. Lays with you & can't be happier being petted & touched. He also loves to be with his buddies & just lay with them or do whatever they are doing. But is also a big player. She said he is really such a good & smart boy. He loves everyone he meets after he knows them & enjoys being cuddled to & given love. He also enjoys snuggling up on the couch & will jump on the couch & spend his day relaxing. He enjoys sleeping on the couch & sleeping in bed with you at night. In his current foster home in WA state Bert discovered a mirror & his reflection & was so fascinated by himself it was so cute & adorable. He also loves a good outfit & playing with his toys. His foster mum still cannot believe someone would be so cruel & neglectful to Bert. Bert’s new forever home must have a fully fenced secured backyard for his safety. He enjoys going out into the backyard in his foster home & having a wander around. Bert has been great with his baths because he started having them with us in his loving foster home the moment he was rescued so he is used to them. He has also started getting used to being dried with a hairdryer. He will just let you dry him. He loves his foster mum & his foster friends. He has put on weight since being in his loving foster home & was thin when first rescued. Bert rides beautifully in the car & enjoys a good journey & will sit in his car seat next to you with his dog friends. He also enjoys looking out the window. Bert is a wonderful walker on his harness & leash & loves going on many walks. We are looking for a forever home for Bert where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. We are also looking for a crate free home for the little lad only. He was left in a cage in the shelter until we rescued him. Bert is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him. Bert has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs & fostered with other dogs in his foster home & does well with them & enjoys their company. He absolutely needs another dog in his forever home for him to thrive. An elderly dog would not work as he loves playing. Bert is roughly 3 years old 17 lbs & is perhaps a shi poo mix, what he is mixed with we are not sure at all. He is male, neutered. Had a dental scale & polish along. He arrived so extremely thin & had put on weight in his loving foster home. He was taken to our amazing vet & it was determined this boy was in big trouble, he had pneumonia, trouble breathing, a high temperature & a foul smell coming from his eyes. He had to be admitted immediately & received x-rays, iv fluids, bloodwork, iv injectable’s, critical patient care. He is microchipped, up to date on his shots, including DHPP, Bordatella, rabies & dewormed. We have spent well over $3,000 saving Bert’s life. Bert has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together. We have not had him around small children in the rescue so we do not recommend children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children. We were not there when Bert 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 & Bert’s 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 Bert 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. Bert has been through many traumas in his short time on this earth so when applying this needs to be kept in mind & for his care. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Bert & 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 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 Bert who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for this spirited 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. Bert has an adoption fee of $1250 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.

How Jam ien survived on the deathly streets of China with his beloved brother Jie & nothing happening to them to this day we will never know. We cannot even begin to imagine what Jam ien witnessed & heard when he was on the streets for almost a week. What we do know is, that Jam ien kept his brother Jie safe & everywhere they went Jie would follow Jam ien & he more than likely kept him safe & alive. What we do know is, Jam ien & his bonded brother Jam ien were rescued off the streets by our outstanding Chinese rescuer just in time. It’s absolutely soul destroying to think about the extremely dangerous situation he ended up in. Working with one of our truly devoted, dedicated & absolutely outstanding Chinese rescuers they rescued Jam ien & many others for us. Without these beloved rescuer’s going & getting Jam ien from, the streets his fate would of been a horrendous death. They transferred Jam ien to their own rescue & covid had hit & the waiting began. Along with Jam ien & many other sweet souls they got well & they waited to come to the US. This became a very extremely expensive situation with covid. We were finally able to bring everyone back through cargo which is an astronomical expense per dog, but we believe every sweet soul such as Jam ien & his friends & brother deserves to be loved & cherished & given the chance to have a wonderful life. Now Jam ien is looking for a special family to cherish him & his brother Jie & be patient with him & remember what this beautiful soul has been through & a family that meets all his needs. Jam ien was rescued by our truly amazing Chinese rescue friends & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Chinese rescue who we are so extremely thankful for what they do day in & day out for these babies, we cannot thank them enough. Jam ien 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. Lovely little chap Jam ien & his brother Jie have come such a long way since being rescued in China. They have really flourished & gotten so much more confident. It depends upon the person who he tends to like more, wether it is a female or male. The boys were in 2 foster homes & in 1 foster home they loved the foster dad over the foster mum & did everything with the foster dad & loved him & was not interested in the foster mum. Then in their other foster home they preferred the foster mum over the foster dad but still liked the foster dad. We think for Jam ien he needs a home with a backyard as in apartment living with the noises he just don’t do well with the different unknown noises but in a house would be ideal for them. Jam ien has enjoyed eating since he has been here in the US with all the new tasty food he gets but let’s face it, being fed the way we are feeding him is all new to him & just being fed all the time is new to him. He also enjoys a good treat. He has put on weight instantly since being in the rescue. Jam ien loves you once he knows you & trust you & will paw at you to get your attention or to be picked up. He & is brother are very similar but their personalities have changed & flourished since being with us. Jam ien does really well on her harness & leash considering we believe we are the first people to teach him how to go on walks but would still need to be taught. Jam ien is a rescue & will need patience, time & understanding. Jam ien adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing him, cleaning his eyes, grooming him, he loves it all. He also does extremely well being touched in general & adores receiving love. Jam ien is so good with being bathed. With Jam ien we had him with many breeds of dogs & he has done well with different size dogs. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Jam ien & we have been excited to change his world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment. He is making up for lost time & who could blame him. In his new forever home he will more than likely sleep wherever his brother is, they are 2 peas in a pod. But with the right forever home he may want to sleep in the bed with you. Jam ien has learnt to ride in the car & does well in the car & enjoys a good car ride once he knows & trusts his people. He is such a sweet little guy once he knows & trusts you just like his brother. He just sits back & enjoys the journey. With Jam ien we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lad only because of his horrendous past. Absolutely no crates for him. He gets very frightened when put into a crate. We are also looking for a forever home for Jam ien where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. Jam ien is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be very patient with him & understanding. Jam ien has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs in his loving foster home. A fully fenced backyard is mandatory for Jam ien’s new forever home. Jam ien is now roughly 14.6 lbs & has put on quite a bit of weight since coming to the US with us, he is 2 years old & perhaps a miniture poodle & what he is mixed with we are not sure? He is neutered & male, he had a dental/scale & polish along with dental x-rays & 1 premolar extraction. He is heart worm negative, he is microchipped, up to date on his shots, had his shots including DHLPP, Bordatella, CIV, rabies & dewormed. We have spent far more on Jam ien with bringing him to the US with his travel airfare costs, alone bringing him through cargo, without anything else then on top of that paying for his medical care & boarding fees, including a dental/scale & polish & dental x-rays, 1 premolar extraction, neuter, shots, microchip etc, than his adoption fee comes close to covering. Jam ien has been around cats since being in the rescue & does well but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals. We have not had him around small children so we do not recommend children nor cats, but it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats. We were not there when Jam ien 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 & Jam ien’s 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 Jam ien 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.

A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog. We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes in WA state, but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Newcastle, WA. Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Zelle, or cash. We no longer accept PayPal because of the percentage they take & their fees but if the potential adopter wants to pay the fees we will accept PayPal. The call was put out for the need from several commercial breeders who needed some of their dogs gone, at a cost of course in the middle of Omaha. Of course they always want money for the dogs & of course once we know about them we are not leaving them & do what we have to do to help them. But despite where they lived & had been used for 6 years straight as breeding machines & were used to make money off their backs, they were all the most precious bundles of joy. The girls lives was instantly changing in that moment & only for the better. They were one of the very lucky ones. On this day we rescued a total of 11 lives including Frankie & Fiona. What’s shocking & truly is a first for us is these girls had just been spayed. How we don’t know because when we got Frankie her spay was clearly infected & was oozing puss & needed medical treatment & antibiotics which of course we took care of. But the girls were just so lovely still. Now the real healing, love & devotion could begin & show Frankie & Fiona how they are supposed to be loved & adored in a loving forever home just as they are in their foster home. Frankie & Fiona & their friends were bought back to the WA state where they are now so happy to be here & can’t wait to find their new loving devoted forever home together. These 2 beautiful girls from the get go were so extremely sweet & so forgiving of humans. Wow have they come along way. They both arrived freshly shaved down to the skin but now their fur has started to grown back in beautifully. On Frankie she has a patch where perhaps she had a hot spot or & infection that was never treated & has a bit of a patch there but in time should grow in. They both now love a Christmas jumper, spend their days with a beautiful family who have been teaching them what it is to be loved & held. At the end of the day they are both happy for you to pick them up & give them love & stay in your lap or to be playing. They have been so great with very respectful children in their foster home. These girls are very bonded & we would never e er separate them. They will look for each other & are so joyous once they know where the other one is. Frankie & Fiona both foster mums said are so affectionate & jumps at you to pick them up & give you love & kisses & hugs. The reality is, the foster homes are their real first experience at being in a home, with a tv, bedding they can snuggle up in, a roof over their head that’s not outside. Both girls are wonderful eaters & not shy about eating. They are eating a diet clean in their foster home, meaning they ate grains, fruits & vegetables & many healthy proteins along with supplements. The girls are so good with their baths & being dried by the hairdryer & very tolerant. They both adore comfy beds & big comfy blankets because again the reality is, this is something they did not get to experience ever in 6 years until we rescued them. Both girls have loved everyone they have met. They both have been taught to walk on a harness & leash. Frankie & Fiona both ride in the car well & considering the only times we know of was when they went to be dropped off with the breeder & when we got them & going home with their foster families & to & from the vets. It’s still all new to them though. We are looking for a crate free home for these ladies only. Frankie & Fiona as you can imagine spent the first part of their lives in a caged environment. So we are looking for a cage free home only. We are also looking for a forever home for Frankie & Fiona where someone is home during the day or they can go with their people wherever possibly they can go with them. When they find someone who treats them as they should be treated & loves them they get so attached to them. Frankie & Fiona are looking for a forever home who will cherish them & love them as they should be loved & be patient with them & never give up on them. UPDATE: Frankie & Fiona were adopted & returned & we were given a reason regarding Frankie’s foot. We have them both back in a loving foster home where they are back on homemade food & thriving & we are getting Frankie weekly laser treatment on her foot. These girls are the nicest sweetest girls. Frankie is on cage rest while getting her laser treatments. Frankie & Fiona have been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes in the rescue & in their foster homes & they are currently with other dogs & adores other dogs. So they can go to a forever home with other dogs in the home or just the pair of them together. We will not separate the girls so please do not use ask us too. A fully fenced backyard is mandatory if living in a home. Frankie & Fiona are roughly 15.6 lbs & 11.6 lbs & 6 years old & ‭miniture poodles‬. What they are mixed with we are not sure, female, they are both spayed, microchipped, received all their shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, rabies. Frankie has a heart murmur. They both had dental scale & polish’s & Frankie had 3 premolars & 2 incisors removed. The breeder spayed her & she arrived with her spay oozing puss & needed antibiotics. Fiona had 1 premolar, 1 incisor & 1 intermediate removed. While in the care of a foster home, who they are no longer with. Frankie’s toes were broken on 1 foot, her front foot. How, we truly will never know? We have had Frankie in a splint while her toes are healing & 1 has completely healed & we are waiting on the remaining 3 to heal. Doing 2 laser treatments every single week for 4 weeks Frankie’s bone is now healed. You would never know this happened except a slight limp sometimes & she will randomly hold it up. But again you would never know this happened to her. We also got her acupuncture to help heal her foot. We have spent far more on Frankie & Fiona with getting them from a commercial breeder. Bringing them to WA with their travel costs, their transportation to WA. All of their medical care in WA etc & bringing them to WA than their adoption fee comes close to covering. Their adoption fee does not even cover half of what we have spent on Frankie & Fiona. The girls have not been around cats since being in the rescue, but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have had them around small children & they have done well but we do do not recommend small children nor cats though & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats. We were not there when Frankie & Fiona were conceived so we do not know who their parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think their breed is. As with all of our rescues & the girls friends they 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 Frankie & Fiona 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 the girls & going through our process and have read their 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. Or you waste this rescues time, will 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 or Zoom due to covid & followed by a meet & greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Frankie & Fiona who understands their needs & that meet all the requirements for these special sweet little ladies. 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. Frankie & Fiona has a combined adoption fee of $1600 & is ready for her truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what she has been through.
