Rescues, Shelters, & Fosters near you

Smidget Rescue specializes in finding homes for dogs under 25 pounds. You know, "Super Midgets!" Occasionally, we have larger dogs available. Smidget Rescue is a small organization with one founder and several volunteers. Since we are a home, foster based rescue, we do not have a facility and therefore are not open to the public. Additionally, we do take Sundays and Mondays off, if we don't have an adoption event scheduled. Our dogs come from high kill shelters in California, Eastern Washington and locally. We also take in owner surrenders and sometimes have puppies that are born at the rescue to momma dogs pulled pregnant from the shelter. They are the homeless and forgotten dogs. Great dogs with fabulous personalities, but they would never have a chance at a home otherwise. We are overjoyed to bring them to Smidget Rescue to find their forever families! If you would like to adopt a new friend, please contact us at smidgetrescue@hotmail.com to request an adoption application and start the process! Come and join the Smidget Rescue family and see how adopting a small dog will change your life forever! Once you go small, you never go back!
