Scruffy is a comedian. His antics will make you laugh and the sparkle in his eye always draws a smile. A complete terrier he is smart, fast and loves to play. He can find toys everywhere and meets you with his latest treasure in his mouth when you come through the door. 

Scruffy loves his own people but is not a dog who immediately warms up to everyone. He gets along with some dogs but others he can decide he does not like and go after. No cats or small kids.

Even in the middle of a curfluffle with another dog, the foster mom can pick Scruffy up and he just grins as if to say, "that was fun!" Scruffy is not a dog for an inexperienced owner but if you love terriers and have some experience with them, this boy with his unsinkable special zest will bring joy and love into your life.

Sparky found a wonderful new home, with a great man who adores him...thanks to Karin of Westie rescue, who helped us when his foster Mom had to leave due to illness in the family...hooray for rescues working together.

Zipper
Italian Greyhound X
Male/neutered
13 lbs
App. 2 years old

Zipper is a fun and athletic little dog.  He is friendly, loving and enjoys outdoor activities.   Any outdoor activity you do he would love to join  you.  Whether it be hiking, running, or throwing his favorite rope toy.  This also includes, chasing and barking at the barn cats.  Despite being caught "red pawed" , and reprimanded , he still finds it a worthy endeavor worth pursuing.  So this will have to be a consideration for those with cats. He gets along very well with his foster siblings,  but can be a bit overprotective with strange dogs.  He is a perfect gentleman walking on a leash and is learning how to "sit" and "shake".  He's a very quick learner, and wants to please his alpha person/persons.  He's crate trained, potty training is coming along, and he baths well.  He absolutely loves a card ride!

Despite his outdoor enthusiasm, he is surprisingly quiet and well mannered in the house.  He loves to snuggle next to you under a blanket and relax while you read or watch TV.  He is a kind dog and loyally keeps track of his family.  He  would be a perfect addition to any home where he will be provided with daily outdoor exercise, and a warm loving lap to snuggle in.  Once he joins your household you will know undoubtedly  that he is in his "forever" home. You'll never want him to leave!!

Super home for this special boy, residing in Abbotsford, B.C. Canada

Sonny
Maltese mix
Male/neutered/shots current
3 years old
11 lbs

Sonny (or affectionately called Sunshine) is a bit shy at first, we really feel there has been some abuse or neglect in his past.  He is definitely Maltese, and probably mixed with Bichon.  He is a little lover and he looks to her person for reassurance.  He is also very treat motivated.  He loves the car and rides extremely well.

He can be a funny lil boy, finding your shoe and tossing it around, having such a good time.  There is a lot to this little boy, as he slowly comes out of his shell.

He is very good about letting you know he needs to go potty, but has made a few mistakes, as most of these rescues do, when getting used to a new home and environment.  He has eyes that melt you, and would love to sleep right next to you.

He does well with other dogs, but does prefer his own space when sleeping.
He looks at with like he is so thankful for being saved, and he will be so thankful when he has his home that he can call his own.

Wonderful new home, residing in Seattle, WA

Dixie
Boston Terrier
Female/spayed/shots current
4 years old
27 lbs

Dixie loves to play with other dogs in the dog park, to chase a ball and above all, she loves squeaky toys – the squeakier the better.  Dixie is house trained and crate trained.  Given the opportunity, her cuddle-bunny nature comes out as she snuggles at your feet under the covers or by your side on the couch or lies on her back getting a tummy rub.

Dixie is well behaved and calm inside.   She has learned to not bark at noises outside, is happy to follow you around and just to be at your side.  She has recently learned to sit and stay and is eager to learn new tricks.  She is leash trained but requires a few exercises at the beginning of the walk to get her focus directed at you.

Last year Dixie moved from the suburbs into the downtown core and has proven not to be a downtown/apartment dog.  She has developed dog aggressiveness on a leash when she perceives that an unknown dog will come into her space and needs an experienced dog owner/family who can be firm but loving and who has the time to help her work through her dog aggression.  When she is not on a leash, however, she plays very well with other dogs and lived happily with another Boston Terrier for the past 2 1/2 years.

Dixie would thrive in a home that can provide her with lots of love, time and affection. She would do best in a home with a yard where she can run and bathe in the sun.  Dixie does jump up a bit when you first get home so she could be intimidating for small children.

Dixie chases cats, birds, squirrels, skunks, etc so would not work well in homes with other types of animals.  She would be suitable for a single or multiple dog home.

Dixie has a great new home, residing in Vancouver, B.C. Canada
