Story
Tinley is the kind of dog who makes you slow down and smile without even trying—she’s soft-eyed, sweet-hearted, and has the most effortlessly lovable, calm presence. With her gentle nature, quiet confidence, and the most adorable little no-tail wiggle that somehow still says “I’m happy to see you,” Tinley is pure comfort wrapped in a dog. She doesn’t demand attention—she invites it—and when you give her love, she takes it in the sweetest, most grateful way. Tinley is about four years old and is believed to be a schnauzer and husky mix—a perfect blend of brains, heart, and just the right amount of personality wrapped into one beautifully unique girl. Even without a tail, she’s an expert communicator. Her happiness shows in her soft expressions, relaxed body language, and the calm way she leans into you when she’s feeling content. That little tail-less charm only adds to her uniqueness and makes her even more special. Check out how chill she is in her YouTube video now https://youtu.be/sKLPrVjfs5c?si=GIpmUJBAbxJGCZU1 She carries herself with a calm, easy energy—never demanding, never overwhelming—just a quiet little companion who is perfectly content to simply be by your side. If you’re looking for a dog who will match your chill vibe, Tinley might just be your perfect match. She absolutely loves affection and will happily lean in for pets and cuddles when you offer them. Tinley is the kind of dog who appreciates love without needing to be the center of attention all the time. She enjoys her people, but she also enjoys doing her own thing—whether that’s relaxing, observing the world, or just soaking up a peaceful moment. She’s the ultimate “I’m here, I love you, but I’m also just vibing” kind of companion. When it comes to other dogs, Tinley has shown that she’s social in her own calm, respectful way. She has met a variety of dogs with different energy levels and handled those interactions beautifully. Tinley prefers polite, low-pressure interactions and isn’t particularly interested in dogs that are overly in her space or trying to constantly engage her in play. She’ll coexist peacefully, take her time, and simply do her own thing. Because of her personality, she would do best with another dog who respects her space and doesn’t expect constant playtime—or she would be perfectly happy as your one-and-only, soaking up all the love for herself. Tinley also met a cat and did well, showing a calm and respectful attitude. She may be able to live with a cat, though she would need further testing to be fully confirmed. Either way, her gentle and easygoing nature shines through in all of her interactions. While she hasn’t met kids yet, Tinley gives off every indication that she would do wonderfully in a home with children. She is calm, patient, and incredibly gentle, especially when taking treats—always soft and polite. Her demeanor suggests she would be a loving, steady presence in a family home. Tinley is also a fantastic leash walker. She enjoys her walks and moves at a nice, easy pace, making her a great companion for strolls around the neighborhood. And if you’re someone who enjoys a good car ride, Tinley is your girl—she’s a true passenger princess who settles in beautifully and enjoys the ride like a pro. In terms of lifestyle, Tinley is very adaptable. She could thrive in an apartment as long as she gets her daily walks and quality time with her person, or she could live happily in a house with a yard. Her easy temperament makes her a great fit for a variety of living situations—she’s just happy to be included and loved. Tinley isn’t the type of dog who needs constant action or high-energy play. Instead, she offers something just as special—peaceful companionship, gentle affection, and a calm presence that makes every moment feel a little more relaxed and a little more joyful. She’s the kind of dog who quietly wins your heart and becomes your little shadow in the sweetest way. If you’re searching for a laid-back, loving, and truly good girl with the best chill vibes—and the most charming little no-tail wiggle—Tinley is ready to meet you and start her next chapter. She’s got so much love to give—she’s just waiting for the right person to share her calm, happy world with. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

Zoey is the kind of dog who makes you feel like you’ve known her forever within the first few seconds of meeting her.

Story
Scout is a ~1-year-old neutered terrier/schnauzer mix (medium size, approx. 57 lbs) located in Camas / Vancouver area.He is a smart, active young dog who has a lot of potential and does well when environment is calm and structured. He settles nicely on his own and in his crate once he is in (still have been working on getting him more comfortable going into it) enjoys toys, food enrichment (Kongs, lick mats, etc.), long sniffing walks, and can be affectionate - he loves a good belly rub! He rarely barks, and greets people nicely on walks. The reason we’re seeking a new home is that Scout has high energy and needs a calmer environment. He struggles with impulse control especially during transitions (potty trips, evenings, crate routine, us moving through the house) and needs structured rest time. Because we have young children and a busy household, we’re concerned our home may not be the best long-term fit for what he needs.
