About this Dog
Animal Profile: Ivy is an approximately 2 year old, 11 lb female, short haired Chihuahua that joined us from Stanislaus Modesto in California on 6/11/2025. Ivy was brought into the shelter after her sister passed due to heat stroke from being left outside. She has been a shelter volunteer and employee favorite -- they've said that she enjoys pets and being carried. Ivy has been sharing a kennel with another dog and they have been doing just fine. We will share more about Ivy as we get to know her in foster care. Foster Update: If you're looking for a super sweet, easygoing couch potato, Ivy may be your girl! She is an adorable, sweet and silly Chihuahua mix that brightens up any room. This charming girl is full of love and personality, making her the perfect addition to pretty much any family. She's still a little timid when meeting new people, but she's getting more and more confident every day. Ivy adores belly rubs more than anything! If you simply walk up to her, she flops down and rolls on her back, hoping for tummy scratches. Her hobbies include snuggling on the couch, taking naps, and learning new tricks for treats. We're working on "sit", but she hasn't grasped it quite yet. She is not as much of a lap dog as she is a sit-close-beside-you type. Ivy is incredibly well-behaved and both house trained and crate trained, making her transition to your home a piece of cake. Ivy is amazing on a leash and has not been dog reactive, although some dogs with higher energy make her nervous. This little lady is great with dogs and kids, including little kids saying hi to her on walks. We don't know about cats, but I can't imagine cats would be an issue. She is currently living in a condo in the city and is thriving, so we know she'll be adaptable in any home (including houses with yards, and apartments or condos without yards). Essentially, if your home includes a comfy couch and fluffy dog bed, she's happy! Ivy has attended a few local Seattle outings during her stay with her foster family. She's been to coffee shops, breweries and local pizza patios and is always so chill and well-mannered. She is also great on car and bus rides. Ivy is truly the portable pal you can take with you just about anywhere.

Adopt Ivy and Receive Ivy's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Ivy's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Ivy's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Ivy, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Ivy's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Ivy was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Ivy’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Ivy’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Ivy’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
