Puppy · Female · Chihuahua / Pug (short coat) · 54 mi from Bellingham

Welcome Josie to CCPAL Rescue. Josie is a Chug (Chihuahua/Pug) puppy. She weighs 4 pounds and is 9 weeks old. She will be a small dog full grown. She should be 12 pounds or less. She is very sweet and has an adorable rounded head. She likes to be held, is good in a crate, goes on a wee pad and loves to play with toys. She was born at the Rescue. They took in a stray female and she was pregnant. This means the puppies get lots of attention and are very used to being in a loud and rowdy environment. Josie would be best in a home that the person doesn’t work all day every day. She needs to finish up her puppy training. Social pups make great adults and now is the time for her to spend time with her family and to go places and let people pet her. She is an AMAZING puppy. She would be fine with children. Due to her small size, we would like children to be 8 or older. She is getting her puppy vaccines and will have 3. She will then be ready for spay and adoption. She can be adopted locally in Texas or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Foster Profile:
May is a very loving girl and just wants to jump up and give kisses. We're working diligently on not jumping. She's very smart and seems to have potty training down and has not had an accident inside while I've had her. That being said, I do have a doggie door so she can let herself out, but I'm confident she will learn quickly to ask to go out, especially if she as an older dog to show her the ropes. She likes her crate, and will put herself in the crate to nap. I have it in my bedroom and she has not cried at night at all. She sleeps 8 hours without incident. Leash training is a work in progress, but with continued training she will catch on fast.

This little (NOT) girl has stolen my heart in just a few short days and will steal yours as well.

Puppy (2 months 4 days) · Male · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 81 mi from Bellingham

Meet Yeti! This 8 week old terrier mix pup is just the cutest little guy. He is so fun and full of playful energy, and is having a blast with his two siblings in their foster home. He is just a baby and is working on all the puppy things - potty training, crate training, etc. but is young and adaptable. He will need a family who is patient and supportive of him as he learns and grows into a happy and healthy adult dog. He would love another canine sibling in his furever home, but would also do ok with an active family ready to help burn some of his puppy energy.

Yeti has received his first round of vaccines, microchip, and will be neutered as part of his adoption agreement when he is at least 6 months old. His adoption fee is $525.

20. Argie

Puppy (3 months 3 days) · Female · Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 72 mi from Bellingham

Animal Information: Argie, along with her siblings Delia, Babs, Juice, and Otto, are tiny terrier mixes who found themselves at the Stanislaus shelter as part of an accidental litter. A shelter is no place for three tiny puppies, so we took one look at them and knew we had to get them out of there. We can't wait to meet these three little fuzz balls and see their personalities come out. We have a feeling they are going to be pretty popular!

She's a bright, energetic puppy who will be a great addition to an active home.

21. Sammy

Puppy (4 months 6 days) · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 81 mi from Bellingham

Meet Sammy! This four month old pup is cute as can be. He is mostly potty trained (as long as he goes outside consistently), is good with other dogs, and loves all people! He sleeps through the night in his crate and does well alone for a few hours at a time. He loves toys and bones of all kinds. Sammy is working on learning about the world and he will need continued support as he is initially nervous about new places. Sammy's ideal family will be patient and supportive of him as he continues growing and building confidence. He would do best in a home with another friendly adult dog to help show him the ropes and be his pal as he grows up.

Foster Profile:

Meet Daisy — Tiny Paws, BIG Personality!

Don’t let those sweet puppy eyes and adorable satellite ears fool you… this little girl has places to be, things to sniff, and adventures to conquer!

Daisy is a beautiful 12-week-old Shepherd mix with enough energy to power a small city! ⚡️ She’s a little firecracker who is constantly on the move, always exploring, and always looking for her next adventure.

She’s incredibly alert, attentive, and surprisingly sure-footed for such a young pup. Not much gets past Miss Daisy! She’s curious, confident, and ready to take on the world, one paw at a time.

But here’s the sweetest part… underneath all that puppy chaos is an absolute cuddle bug. ❤️ Scoop her up in your arms, and she settles right in for some love and snuggles. Set her back down?
GAME ON!
She’s off to her next very important puppy mission!

Daisy’s mama weighs around 45 pounds, so while we can’t say exactly how big Daisy will get, she’s likely got some growing to do!

Daisy is going to need an active family who can keep up with her zest for life! She’s smart, busy, and full of potential, but she’ll need plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, structure, and training to help channel all that enthusiasm into becoming an amazing companion. We are looking for a single family home with a securely fenced yard, Shepherd or large breed experience preferred. We are not considering apartments for her at this time.

An experienced dog family would be ideal
, especially one familiar with the energy and intelligence that often come with Shepherd breeds.

Daisy isn’t looking for a couch-potato lifestyle (although she’ll happily borrow your lap for a cuddle). She’s looking for an adventure buddy, a family who enjoys staying active, and someone who understands that a busy puppy needs more than just a backyard to burn off energy.

Big personality. Bigger adventures. Endless energy. A whole lot of love.

If you’re ready for a little sunshine mixed with a whole lot of zoomies, Daisy just might be your girl!

Puppy (2 months 26 days) · Female · Pug · 72 mi from Bellingham

Animal Information: Bug is just an itty bitty "pug mix" that found herself in need of rescue. Who were we to say no? We are confident that little mug will get a lot of attention, and can't wait to meet her!

Foster Profile:
Bug was named by my kids, and it turned out to be the perfect fit! She may be tiny (2lbs right now!), but she’s absolutely full of spunk. Bug loves chasing her furry foster siblings around, even though they’re all significantly larger than she is. Her favorite companion is our Doberman, and it’s hilarious watching her run as fast as her little legs will carry her just to keep up with him as he casually walks across the lawn.

Read more about Bug

Bug is doing excellent with both crate and potty training. As a small-breed dog, potty training will likely be her biggest challenge, which is understandable when your bladder is about the size of a grape. She’s making great progress, though, and with frequent potty breaks, she’s primarily doing her business outside in the yard. She can hold it for up to six hours overnight, so a home with easy access to a convenient potty area would be ideal.

Bug loves playing with my children and is friendly with our cat, too. With her playful personality, tiny size, and big-dog confidence, she’s sure to make a wonderful pocket-sized companion for one very lucky family!

26. Pumpkin

Puppy (6 months) · Female · Chihuahua / Beagle / Mixed (short coat) · 81 mi from Bellingham

Meet Pumpkin! This 6 month old chihuahua mix is curious and very playful. She can be cautious and shy with new people or situations but opens up quickly and builds confidence fast. She loves playing with other dogs and would thrive in a home with another small dog to play with and snuggle with. She is always happy happy happy and makes everyone smile when she’s bouncing around and giving kisses constantly. She does really well in her kennel for meal times and when left home alone for a few hours at a time. She sleeps all through the night. She is still working on potty training but is extremely motivated by treats, so is getting the hang of it. She’s not a purse chihuahua and doesn’t like to be carried around much in general, but will follow her foster family all around the house and loves to be nearby chewing on a yak cheese or throwing a toy around entertaining herself. She has mastered the skill of guarding the porch from squirrels and Amazon delivery people and barks fiercely (in chihuahua) to let everyone know she’s doing her job, but doesn’t bark excessively at nothing.

Chai can be a bit timid about the world and it is best for him to be in a home with a yard. Walking busy city streets is not comfortable for him right now and he needs to build some confidence before he can navigate those kinds of settings.

Adopting a puppy in Bellingham

Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.

Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
