7. Cleo, a small 1-year-old Jiggy

Adult (1 year 6 months) · Female · Italian Greyhound / Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 24 mi from Burlington

THE VIP EXPERIENCE: Are You Ready to Be Cleo’s "Chosen One"?

If you love a dog who makes you work just a little bit for her affection—knowing the payoff is a fiercely loyal, snuggly best friend for life—Cleo is looking for you!

Read more about Cleo, a small 1-year-old Jiggy

Meet Cleo, a breathtakingly unique, pocket-sized "Jiggy" (Jack Russell Terrier / Italian Greyhound mix). Cleo isn't a dog who hands out her love to just anyone on day one. She doesn't do superficial greetings or fake enthusiasm for strangers. Cleo is an exclusive-membership kind of girl. But once you earn her trust and cross that velvet rope into her inner circle? A completely different side of her blooms, and she will shower you with her entire heart!

We’ve leaned a bit too much into her "independent, cat-like" description in the past, but make no mistake: Cleo is a deeply loving, velcro-loyal dog once she knows she's safe. She is ready to find that one special soul person who appreciates a sensitive, brilliant little dog.

✨
The Cleo VIP Perks (Once You're Selected):

The Ultimate Snuggle Buddy:
When she decides you are her safe haven, Cleo transforms into an absolute lovebug. She will curl up as tightly as possible against you, shower you with kisses, and soak up every bit of one-on-one couch time.

The Terrier Spark:
She has that fun, confident Jack Russell personality wrapped in an elegant, sensitive Italian Greyhound body. She loves structured games and dedicated quality time with her favorite human.

Polite & Family-Friendly:
Cleo does really well with children! They just need to understand her VIP status: introductions should be calm and quiet, allowing Cleo to approach them at her own elegant pace.

Cleo's Perfect Sanctuary:

A Peaceful Household:
Because of her sensitive Italian Greyhound roots, she thrives in a low-traffic home. Her behavior consultant recommends giving her a designated "safe suite"—a cozy crate with plush bedding or a quiet corner where she can take uninterrupted royal naps.

Dog Dynamics:
She happily coexists with dogs her own size, but she does have that confident Terrier leadership spark and prefers to be the dominant female queen of her castle.

The "Staycation" Lifestyle:
Cleo gets a little carsick and nervous at the vet, so she prefers a homebody lifestyle. She’s looking for a family who will keep car trips short, use natural calming wraps, and plan fun activities right at home or in the yard.

Cleo is healthy, spayed, and waiting for the right patient match to change her life. If you want the deep, unmatched reward of being a sensitive dog's absolute favorite person in the world, apply for Cleo today!

Adoption Fee:
$450.00 (Includes spay, microchip, and up-to-date vaccines)

Senior Dogs and Friends Rescue, Arlington, WA

8. Cody a Daschshund-Corgi mix male

Adult (1 year 6 months) · Male · Dachshund / Pembroke Welsh Corgi / Mixed (medium coat) · 24 mi from Burlington

️♂️ MEET CODY: The Sweet, Quiet Explorer Ready to Bloom! ️♂️

He is a gentle, low-riding soul who shows his love through quiet curiosity. If you have a soft spot for the sensitive ones, Cody is waiting to find his ultimate life guide!

Meet Cody, an 18-month-old, 15-pound "Dorgi" (Dachshund & Corgi mix) with a heart of absolute gold. While his brother Charlie does the loud talking, Cody is the thoughtful, quiet observer of the duo. He missed out on early puppy socialization, but he has an intense curiosity about the world and a deep desire to connect with humans. He is looking for a patient soul to show him that life is one big, safe adventure!

Read more about Cody a Daschshund-Corgi mix male

We want to make sure Cody’s gentle nature shines through—there is nothing sweeter than watching a quiet dog learn to trust you, especially when he starts taking treats right from your fingers!

✨
The Cody Experience (The Perks of a Sensitive Soul):

Fiercely Curious:
Cody loves a good routine! He loves listening to a gentle voice, sniffing out new areas, and figuring out how things work from a safe distance.

A Total Sweetheart:
He is incredibly gentle. He has already learned to love hands-on touch from his trusted rescue family and will happily lean in to let you stroke his face.

The Perfect Shadow:
Cody is a "follow-the-leader" type of guy. He uses his canine friends as a security blanket, copying their good behavior and using their confidence to build his own.

Cody's Blueprint for the Perfect Life:

A Built-In Mentor:
Cody absolutely must live with another dog. He relies heavily on a confident dog friend to show him the ropes. You can adopt him with his brother Charlie for an instant package deal, or he can join a home with your existing friendly dog!

A Securely Fenced Yard:
Because Cody is still learning how a leash and harness work, a fenced yard is essential so he can safely explore, sniff, and play while his confidence grows.

An Adult-Only Sanctuary:
Cody prefers a peaceful, quiet household without children so he can decompress at his own pace.

No Small Pets:
Thanks to that classic Dorgi prey drive, Cody needs a home with no cats or pocket pets, please!

To make sure you hit the ground running, the rescue team will be right by your side with specialized training guides, tips, and ongoing phone and email support to ensure your transition is a beautiful success.

Package Deal Pricing (Double the Short-Legged Love!):

Cody Solo:
$450 (Must have another similar-sized dog at home to mentor him)

Bonded Brother Pair (Cody & Charlie):
$595 total!

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.

She is beautiful inside and out and we cannot believe anyone could give up a dog this fantastic. We would love someone that knows this breed. She has the shortened nose so this breed cannot tolerate heat well. Anyone that has had a Frenchie knows this. She would be fine with a moderately active family. She can go with children as well. We like them to be 8 or older. She is currently in Texas and can be adopted locally. We can work with one of the wonderful transporter to help her get 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.

18. Pickles

Female · Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Black Mouth Cur (short coat) · 34 mi from Burlington

Welcome Pickles to CCPAL Rescue. Pickles is a 2 year old. She is a small Terrier/Black Mouth Cur is our best guess. She is a medium sized dog that weighs 28 pounds. She is full grown and she was found on the streets with her puppies. She is a great momma dog. She is friendly to people she knows and trusts and warms up slowly to new people. She will be a great alert dog for an older couple or someone that is home alone and wants to feel that the dog has your back. She has never shown aggression but she does bark when things are out of the ordinary or someone she doesn’t know has arrived. She would be best for at least a moderately active family. I would think someone with a more quiet home that wants a loyal companion to join the group. She has a short coat and not a huge shedder. She is good with other dogs and has been off leash with a number in play groups here at CCPAL. She can be adopted locally in Texas or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. She is getting spayed soon, all her vaccinations, heartworm negative and will be ready for her forever home in a week or two. 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.

19. Maverick

Adult · Male · Chihuahua / Dachshund (short coat) · 34 mi from Burlington

Welcome Maverick to CCPAL Foster Program. Maverick is a 4-year-old Chiweenie. He weighs about 19 pounds. He is good on a leash, good in a car. He is potty trained and very loyal to his person. He knows “go for a walk”, “stop”, “leave it”, “It’s the neighbor” and a few other commands. He is in a home and the owner is having some very big financial issues and need to find Maverick a new home. Maverick has some allergies to food and the food that he can is a Duck and Potato kibble. He has some allergies to grass. He has taken Apoquel successfully to handle the allergies. He warms up slowly and is very loyal and bonded once he has bonded. He would be great for a senior couple or single wanting a companion. A nice yard for him to get exercise in would be nice or someone that could have the time to take him on a couple of walks would be great. He isn’t the social butterfly that some dogs are so a matching owner would be the best fit. He would be a great dog to alert you to someone at the door or something being off in the environment. He is good on walks and would help a senior be more active. He is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. He could go with children but we would like them to be teens. I think a quieter home would be best for this boy. His 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.

20. Priscilla Prissy

Puppy · Black Mouth Cur / Labrador Retriever (medium coat) · 34 mi from Burlington

Welcome Priscilla “Prissy” to CCPAL Rescue. Priscilla is a 10-week-old sweetie. Lab/Black Mouth Cur mix is our best guess. She should be a medium sized dog 28 pounds or less. He is sturdy and has longer legs then her stubby legged brother. Her mom is Pickles and she is also medium sized. She is getting lots of attention at the Rescue and she is social, good with other dogs, good in a crate, learning wee pad manners and is over all a very nice puppy. The kennel staff usually bathe and clip toenails on a regular basis as well. She will be fine with grooming. She has a soft fluffy coat and adorable expressions. She was found as a stray with her mom who is Pickles. She is getting all 3 sets of his puppy vaccinations and will be spayed soon. 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. Prissy would be fine in a family with children. We like them to be 8 or older. A puppy is always best with someone that is not gone all day every day. A puppy needs to bond with his humans and to go places to remain and grow up to be a well-rounded dog. Priscilla will also need to finish her puppy training. She would be great in a doggy daycare as she gets time playing off leash with other puppies her size. 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.

Adopting a dog in Burlington

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
