Notes from Dog Gone Seattle Rescue

Animal Information: Lemon is a sweet 4-year-old, 12.5-pound Chihuahua mix who arrived at the shelter as a stray. The shelter environment was understandably overwhelming for her at first, and she spent much of her time curled up and trembling from all the noise and activity.

Once staff gave her a chance to get out and decompress, Lemon’s gentle personality began to shine through. Though shy and submissive at first, she’s eager to make friends and warms up with kindness and patience. Lemon is friendly with people, does well with other dogs, and is ready for a fresh start.

We’re excited to welcome Lemon to the PNW and help this little girl blossom.

Foster Profile: Lemon is a playful and energetic little cutie looking for a new home. She is sweet, shy, and gentle. Lemon loves her crate and is doing great with potty training. She is still learning how to be a dog and needs a home with another resident dog to show her the ropes.

Lemon will retreat to her crate around new people and needs an adopter who will help her build confidence and be patient without coddling her. Lemon loves to go for walks, play with stuffies, and is happy to snuggle. Lemon will benefit from a confident handler to show her the world.

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, heartworm test, microc hip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).
