Story
Loki is a 2 year old Shih tzu mix. He's roughly 12lbs and was an owner surrender. Loki came to us very afraid and didn't want to leave his kennel. After a few days of watching the other dogs interact, Loki decided to come out of his kennel and join the world. Since then, Loki has become playful, loves the company of other dogs, is housebroken, kennel trained, walks well on a leash and has learned to play with toys. While Loki has come a long way, he needs to be in a confident home surrounded by calm energy, no kids and another dog to hang out with would be great but isn't required. We think that Loki would be ok with a dog savvy cat that doesn't run. Loki can be nip when fearful and would need a family who's patient and will win his trust. Loki is neutered, UTD on his vaccinations and micro-chipped. His adoption fee is $400.

Story
My name is Domino from Korea and I am a wonderful 2 year old Male Shih Tzu.  I am only 10 lbs. and so excited to find my new forever home.  I am a very happy, affectionate, and friendly dog who was just saved from the Korean slaughter farms. Korea kills 2.5 million dogs a year to be eaten.  I am so lucky to get a one-way ticket to Seattle to find my new family. Take me on car rides, walks in the park, and I will become your best friend.  I get along well with people of all ages, gentle kids, and other dogs.  I need a home with a fenced-in yard and will do best with a loving family that can give me lots of exercise, love, and affection!  On all overseas adoption, we highly recommend our pet rescue dog trainer who will come to your home and help train your new pup for only $75.  My adoption fee of $1350. will cover my spay/neuter, DA2PP shots, Rabies, Bordetella, Deworm, Heart Worm Test, Grooming, Microchip, Boarding Fees, Health Certificate and airline transport cost from Korea to Seattle. A part of this adoption fee will also help us build our brand new 2 acre sanctuary. We are in need of building a new indoor barn for the dogs. The adoption fee is firm and helps cover medical expenses for our other rescue dogs in need of orthopedic surgery, urgent vet care, dental and teeth extractions, cherry eye removals, and more.  Donations are always appreciated to help pay down our vet bills at Greenwood Vet.  Ginger's Pet Rescue is a non-profit 501C-3 organization.

Meet Adrie, this 12lb Shih Tzu is about 9 years old but is still very active and enjoys being around her people going on walks and rides. Adrie was found as a stray at an auto repair shop in pretty rough condition. Be sure to look through all her photos so that you can see her conditon when we scooped her up. Thankfully with some medical care a good bath and a haircut Adrie is looking and feeling much better! Adrie is a cheerful little dog who doesnt let life get her down. She deserves to find a home that is perfect for her, we think she would like a mellow life with an owner who is ready to give her plenty of attention. If you think you may be the perfect forever family for Adrie please contact us!

Lucy is a spayed, female 5-year old 18-pound Shih Tzu mix, and her adoption fee is $495. Lucy is a special needs girl and is looking for an adopter that has significant experience with rescue dogs. Lucy needs to be in a one-animal family that is willing to give her the all the time needed to decompress and become comfortable. Lucy is a beautiful girl, but does not trust people nor other animals. She loves stuffed animals and surrounds herself with as many as she can gather – stuffies make her happy and sooth her. Lucy is potty-trained, walks well on a leash, and loves her crate (it is her safe space). We are seeking a loving home that will include her as part of the family, providing unconditional love throughout her lifetime. Lucy is a rescue dog, and rescue dogs require routine and stability. Please be prepared for a lifelong commitment before applying. Ideally, they should be pottied every 4 to 5 hours. Dogs cannot be left alone for 8 hours per day. Home check and plan must be carefully thought out and presented at time of interview. Lucy will require: - A grain-free diet. This will help keep him healthy and her coat beautiful. - Grooming. Lucy is a non-shedding dog that will require professional grooming every 6-8 weeks. - A fully fenced yard. Fences help protect rescue dogs and establish boundaries. If interested please submit an adoption application at www.6dogrees.com if interested. The tax deductible adoption fee is $495.00. Fee's are non-negotiable. The fee is needed in order for us to "save it forward" for the next dog.The fee covers spay/neuter, microchip, vaccines, deworming, rabies vaccine.

We also include a 15-minute training consultation with a certified behaviorist trainer and 30-day pet insurance. 6dogrees Rescue is a small passionate Seattle based 501c3 non-profit charitable organization that focuses on saving the lives of urgent dogs on their last hours at high kill shelters from the State of California where pet overpopulation is at epidemic levels and kill shelters are the norm. 100% of all fees collected are spent on the dogs, we “Save it forward”; so each time a dog is adopted we are allowed to save another.

Story
Aberdeen Scottish Terrier Rescue is a registered 501(c)3 Web Site: www.aberdeenstr.com Adoption application at: https://form.jotform.com/193648405513157 ***MUST SUBMIT APPLICATION before we will respond to email or phone inquiries. Thank You for your cooperation*** WE ARE NOT A SHELTER; WE ARE AN ALL-VOLUNTEER RESCUE WITH FULL-TIME JOBS. Please do not contact us to look at a dog. We will contact you once we have reviewed your completed application if we think your home might be a good fit. A reference check, phone interview, and home visit will be completed before meeting an adoptable dog. We work quickly. Please do not submit an application until you are ready to bring a new furry family member home. Expect your references to be contacted shortly after submitting your application. We adopt out to homes around the US and Canada, but require that you are present for the meet and greet in Renton, WA. Our adoption fee is non-negotiable. The adoption fee is due on the day of adoption in the form of a check, Chase Quick Pay, PayPal, or cash. A neighbor in DoChon-Dong Korea reported BoDeul (which means soft, in Korean) was wandering around the church so this sweet boy then ended up in a kill shelter & unfortunately he tested stage 2 positive for heart worm. He was adopted from the shelter by a married couple but returned because the husband died suddenly & the wife could not look after BoDeul by herself. But thankfully the amazing rescue we work with went in & rescued BoDeul as he sat in that shelter for so very long with no one coming to save him & treated him for his heart worm which he is now negative. BoDeul was adopted and wasn't a good fit with the family so he's back and looking for his forever home. BoDeul is so sweet & affectionate & so very friendly. We have not heard him bark hardly at all but when we did he wanted us to pick him up & give him love & it was the oddest & funniest bark you could ever hear. He did not even sound like a dog. BoDeul also thinks everyone should like & love him & he does enjoy being picked up & taking in everything around him. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to BoDeul so we have been excited to change his world with the introduction of toys & a warm bed, everything is new to BoDeul. BoDeul walks beautifully on a leash & enjoys a lovely walk & is very sociable little chap. BoDeul has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs so he must go to a forever home with other dogs present in the home or somebody must be home during the day as he loves the company of people or dogs. BoDeul is roughly 16 lbs, 2 years old, perhaps a Maltese/Shit Zhu mix, male, neutered, microchipped, up to date on his shots, heart worm negative & dewormed twice. BoDeul has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have not had him around small children so we do not recommend small children & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children. As with all of our rescues & BoDeul’s friends he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is BoDeul potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting BoDeul & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a home visit followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. BoDeul has an adoption fee of $785
