About Smidget (Shepherd) in Seattle

Smidget is waiting for you at Dog Gone Seattle Rescue in Seattle, WA 98125. Animal Profile: Smidget, Audrey and Tiny are 9 month old German Shepherd/Poodle sisters who are ready for a new beginning! Born into a hoarding situation, they’ve already overcome a tough start, and thanks to our partners at Washington Health Outreach, they were able to find their way into rescue. Now safe and healthy, Smidget, Audrey and Tiny are discovering the world for the first time ... grass under their paws, toys to chase, and gentle hands to trust. They’re still learning that life can be full of kindness and fun, but each day brings a little more confidence and a few more tail wags. These girls are blossoming into the wonderful dogs they were always meant to be, and we can’t wait to see them continue their journey with families who will help them shine. Foster Update: Smidget is an adorable, attentive, curious, spunky and cautious sprite. She is attached to the resident dog, but is not a fan of other dogs without slow introductions and is not sure about humans outside of her home yet. It takes patience, time, confidence building & some treats to win over her trust & even then, she’s still a bit skeptical. With time and gentle encouragement, she trusts more and more, and even is learning she loves snuggles. She’s a super smart, quick learner & watches everything. She can do “touch”, sit & play the “find it” game... She definitely has a mind of her own, doing things when she wants, in her own time & for whatever reason has some innate fear barriers to overcome. Smidget wants to play often & enthusiastically with other dogs who are willing; she’ll even gently & persistently try with those who aren’t. She’s super funny & silly & has a very sweet personality. For a baby, she knows how to chill, and can relax and occupy herself with her bone/toys. She is mostly potty trained (with only a few recent accidents -- she is a baby, after all)! She also sleeps through the night. Sh
