About Orchard

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION. 1 year old female Boston Terrier mix, about 22 pounds. TRIPOD Orchard was found in an orchard badly wounded by what we believe was a car. Her right hind leg was beyond repair and was amputated. She was lovingly nursed back to health by a lovely shelter employee and then transferred to us. It took her a while to relax and open up into the wonderful girl we know today. And don't think that being a tripod will slow her down any! She is just as fast on three legs as any other dog with four! Orchard is a friendly girl, who LOVES stuffies and her person. She is very loyal and cuddly. She is great with all the dogs but has no problem disciplining a dog that is being rude. She makes fabulous grunting noises when she is happy, loves to roll around in the grass and loves to eat! Being that she is a tripod, her weight needs to be carefully managed, so that her remaining legs can function for the rest of her life. She will absolutely torment a cat. We recommend a home with adults, older children and non-dominant dogs her size. She could also be an only dog. To request an adoption application, email [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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.
