Meet Bambi! She is a pocket-sized pup looking for her very own forever family. She might only weigh 3 pounds, but she has a personality that fills up an entire room! At 3 months old, she is in full-on puppy mode - curious, adventurous, and ready to play all day long. She is happy, rambunctious and curious about the world around her. She LOVES to play with her toys. She is working on potty training and crate training, and will need her future family to stay consistent with her as she learns and grows.

Animal Information:
At just 1 year old and 13 pounds, this little guy is full of personality! Fester is a Chihuahua mix with an adorably long body, so we suspect there might be a little Dachshund in his family tree.

Happy, playful, and friendly with both people and other dogs, Fester has quickly become a staff favorite. Unfortunately, this sweet boy found himself at risk in the shelter due to overcrowding, so we stepped in to help him find his happily ever after here in the PNW.

Animal Information: Meet Opal. At 8 years old and just 10 pounds, this little Papillon mix is all about the simple things in life: a cozy lap, a little affection, and someone to call her own. Opal is a sweet girl who loves climbing into your lap for some quality cuddle time. She’s friendly with staff and has been kenneled with other dogs, though she tends to get pushed around by her canine companions. We think it’s time this little lady got the chance to be someone’s favorite

Meet Harper! This 4 month old chihuahua mix is such a fun and affectionate girl. She
loves to play tug of war with her foster mom, but also plays really well with toys on her own. She’s really snuggly too. She has been exploring the outside world from the comfort of her puppy stroller as she isn't fully vaccinated yet - s
he is very curious about everything, but busy streets still seem a little bit overwhelming. She takes a minute to warm up to new people, but once she knows you, she is your absolute best friend.

Meet Blanco!

Meet Sid!

Sid is a playful, affectionate pup with lots of love to give! He is around one year old and around 17 lbs. He gets along well with other dogs and people, and he’s quick to form bonds with new humans. We're not sure what his breed mix is but possibly a Chihuahua mix, likely with quite a few other breeds mixed in (Jack Russell? Collie?).

He loves playing with toys, finding sticks on walks, and spending time with his furry friends. While Sid has plenty of playful energy, he also has a sweet, cuddly side. His favorite place is anywhere next to his human!

Sid is still young and learning, but he has a lot of patience!

Welcome Blanca to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 2 year old Rat Terrier mix. She came in from a hoarding situation. We received 3 dogs from this case. One was adopted already and one had to go to a specialized trainer in another Rescue. Blanca has started opening up and allowing people to pet her and hold her. She never got any attention in her original home, the hoarder. She is good with other dogs and causes no issues. She is kennel trained and her response to being afraid is to run and hide. She is a timid girl and not the social butterfly. She would be perfect with a person that is more introverted and wants a pet that is also similar. Blanca would be satisfied being at home with you all the time. A small walk in the yard would be fine. She until now, has not walked on leash. She is learning to do it at our Rescue. She would like a patient owner and a quieter home. An older couple or older single person would be great. Someone with a quieter home. She would be fine kenneled away if you had a party or people over. She is not very vocal and prefers to blend into the woodwork. She is really a great dog for the right family. She is getting her vaccinations, nail trims and will be spayed soon and ready for her forever home. She could be adopted locally in Texas or we could 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 $400 and transport is $200. . Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

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:
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.

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.

Sweet Gus is a 7-8 month Chihuahua mix pup and weighs around 8-9 lbs.

Gus is a very playful puppy who has blossomed as he has come out of his shell. He is timid around new people and needs a little time to warm up.
