7-month-old Chiweenie, about 8 pounds. 6 dogs were abandoned in a cemetery and only 4 were found alive. Tombey, Lillith, Gravis and Wednesday luckily found their way to us in December. Tombey is ready for adoption! Tombey (blue collar)
is timid at first but a sweet little boy who loves to be outside. He has gotten along well with our dogs and will instigate play with them as often as he can. Sweetest trait is that when he is happy to see you, he will show his teeth in the goofiest smile. He is a little extra timid around men but warms up pretty quick. He has warmed up to our man-sized high school son quite nicely. He is very kind, loving, and snuggly. He is definitely a lap dog (when not running around playing). We have cats and with human guidance he does well with up close gentle sniffs and investigation, but when seen from a distance he will bark at the cats. He does well with our 15-year-old son but has not been around kids younger than that. Tombey does bark to initiate and during play but responds well when told not to. He is very smart and learned our strangely intricate dog door within the first 24 hours. Working on leash training which is getting better with each outing. To request an adoption application, email smidgetrescue@hotmail.com

Adoption contract and fee applies. All adoptable dogs can be met at adoption events hosted every weekend. For a list of scheduled events go to: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/events . Smidget Rescue is not a shelter, and dogs cannot be seen at the Rescue location. All dogs are fostered throughout the Puget Sound area and are brought to the events where they can be met by prospective adopters. Additional pictures of adoptable dogs can be seen at: https://www.facebook.com/SmidgetRescue/photos_stream?tab=photos_albums. All adoptable dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older. Puppies are adopted with a refundable spay/neuter deposit (in addition to the adoption fee) and adopters are required to get their puppy to our vet for their pre-scheduled spay-neuter appointments. APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED BY EMAIL ONLY. Adoption process includes application, meet & greet, home visit and reference check. Email Jamie at smidgetrescue@hotmail.com or click on the CONTACT link on this page. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS BEFORE SENDING. 8632781We get a fair number of incorrect emails and Jamie is not able to contact potential adopters. Notice: We do not ship dogs out of state. You must live within a three-hour radius of Seattle, WA, (such as Portland, Vancouver B.C., etc.), so we can arrange for a home visit. If your home seems like a great fit for the dog you would like to adopt, you must then drive to meet the dog at one of our weekend events or at the fosters home.
