Meet Arlo ❤️

Arlo is an adorable 3-year-old mixed-breed boy weighing approximately 10 lbs (4.5 kg) who was rescued from Mexico.

With his beautiful golden-brown and white coat, expressive eyes, and sweet little face, Arlo is a handsome boy who deserves a wonderful second chance at life.

Arlo is described as a sweet boy with a gentle nature. His journey from Mexico has brought him closer to finding the loving family he has been waiting for. Now, he is hoping for a forever home where he can feel safe, secure, and truly loved.

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.

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 Hootie!

Sweet Hootie is around 7 years old and about 30 lbs. He is a little on the plump side and could lose a few pounds but we don't judge... We're not sure of his breed mix but he has a Corgi look to him. Super cute!

Hootie is a very sweet boy. He loves other dogs, is great with kids and good with cats. An allrounder! He walks nicely on a leash and does well in the car. His only fault is that he is a velcro dog - he likes to follow you around the house so be prepared for some prying eyes when you're in the bathroom.

Hootie will be vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $450

Meet Chance

Chance is a 3-year-old, 65-pound pitbull mix who's part cow, part puppy, and entirely goofy.

He was found as a stray and ended up in an overcrowded California shelter. He's found a soft place to land in his foster home in Snohomish, WA, where he's living with two other dogs. He's also being exposed to farm animals, and the many smells and sounds that life out of the shelter has to offer.

Meet Blanco!

Blanco is an adorable Poodle mix boy, around 1 year old and about 12 lbs. He is a hoot!

Blanco is a friendly boy, he likes kids and he likes other dogs. He is a happy and social fella. he is no couch potato and is a very active and bouncy boy. He can play all day and then some. He is not suitable for someone with older dogs or someone who is not physically active. Blanco needs a yard to play in and plenty of walks and adventures. We have not seen him with cats.

Blanco is vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $450

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!

Meet Yowie! This 8 week old terrier mix pup is just the cutest little girl. She is so fun and full of playful energy, and is having a blast with her two siblings in their foster home. She is just a baby and is working on all the puppy things - potty training, crate training, etc. but is young and adaptable. She will need a family who is patient and supportive of him as she learns and grows into a happy and healthy adult dog. She would love another canine sibling in her furever home, but would also do ok with an active family ready to help burn some of her puppy energy. Yowie has received her first round of vaccines, microchip, and will be spayed as part of her adoption agreement when she is at least 6 months old. Her adoption fee is $525.

This amazing little brindle Chihuahua is such a winner! He is a friendly little guy who loves everyone.

Meet Biggins!

Sweet Biggins came from a rather neglectful situation and lived on outside on a property with a lot of other dogs. He is doing so well in his foster home and is ready for his forever home.

Biggins is around a year old and about 12-14 lbs. He is a calm and lovable pup. His favorite activity is cuddling and being around his people. He enjoys exploring outside, playing with other dogs and older children. He is potty trained and walks well on a leash.
He is crate trained for night time but has some separation anxiety and prefers to roam around in a bigger space if home alone. If you are looking for a best friend, he’s your guy.

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.

Meet Chai!

Chai is a sweet little guy who came to us with his two siblings Pumpkin and Autumn. These adorable siblings did not come from great beginnings but are doing wonderfully in their foster homes. They are likely Chihuahua mixes, around 6-7 months old and about 8-10 lbs. They will grow to about 12-14 lbs as adults.

Sweet Chai is full of puppy energy and loves to play and explore. He’s curious, happy, and always up for a little fun. He also has a softer side and enjoys attention and cuddles. He’s still learning about the world around him and would love a family to grow up with and call his own.

Meet Autumn!

Autumn is a darling pup who came to us with her two siblings Pumpkin and Chai. These adorable siblings did not come from great beginnings but are doing wonderfully in their foster homes. They are likely Chihuahua mixes, around 6-7 months old and about 8-10 lbs. They will grow to about 12-14 lbs as adults.

This little sweetheart has such a fun and loving personality. She’s playful, energetic, and enjoys being part of whatever is going on. She’s also affectionate and loves getting attention. She’s at that fun puppy stage where she’s learning new things every day and would make a wonderful addition to a loving home.

Why Sparky is the perfect catch:

Meet Gus!

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. He would do great with another dog who can show him the ropes. He is house trained and sleeps through the night but does occasionally mark - this should be improved once he is neutered (he is scheduled for this).

Meet Rocky!

Sweet Rocky is a prize! This lovely 5 year old Pug/Chihuahua mix is looking for a forever home.

He is an incredibly sweet and snuggly boy, who likes dogs and children. He does not love being alone and will want to be with his humans as much as possible. He is good on a leash and loves long walks, is house trained, and sleeps well at night in his crate (dream dog!).

Rocky is vaccinated, neutered and chipped. His adoption fee is $450

Meet Sancho!

Little Sancho is only 8 months old and has not had the greatest life. He was found as a stray in a rural area and it seems he had been fending for himself for some time. He is in a foster home now and doing well.

Meet Roo!

Lovely Roo is a 7-8 month old mixed breed beauty. She may have some cattle dog in her - we are not quite sure. Her ears are just fabulous!

Roo is a fun and adventurous girl. She’s up for playtime with toys or a friend and also a cuddle on the couch. Roo is very sweet and loves to please.

She is just a puppy so still learning manners. She’s kennel trained, very smart and food motivated.

She would love to have a similar sized dog in her new home and plays very well with other dogs. She is not sure about small dogs.

Meet Clover!

Clover: Small Dog, Big Plans!

Clover is about a year old and roughly 9 pounds, and she is looking for employment. Her résumé is short but impressive.

Skills: Agility. Problem-solving. Outsmarting humans, often before breakfast. Clover is smart as a whip and spends her day testing your systems. That baby gate you trust? She’s already been over it. The short fence in the yard? She sees it as a suggestion. Clover doesn’t escape so much as audit your security.

Meet Sandy!

This wonderful Shepherd mix girl is so gentle and kind. She has such a sweet temperament. She did not come from great beginnings and was quite shut down when she arrived with us but she is now blossoming!
