highhut

The High Hut trail is considered the highlight of the Mount Tahoma Trail System.

Coincidentally, HighHut, the dog, is the highlight of his foster parent’s home. In his foster family's words, HighHut is “a mighty precious and well-rounded little darlin'.” He’s friendly, outgoing, playful, affectionate, and cuddly, wrapped up in a soft, fluffy coat that makes him look like a tiny stuffed animal that somehow came to life.

He's been tested by a 10-year-old and a 5-year-old, and passed with flying colors. He rides well in the car, has sat through a bath and nail trim without making it anyone's problem, completely ignores the backyard chickens, and shows zero interest in the neighborhood bunnies and squirrels, which, frankly, shows a level of self-restraint we can all aspire to.

HighHut is working on potty training, and his foster just introduced potty bells at the door. He goes reliably once he's outside, so the pieces are all there...he’s just still putting them all together (understandably). He hasn't been formally introduced to other dogs yet, aside from his brother, but given how unproblematic he’s been about literally everything else, we're not too worried about it.

Hikers who make it to the real High Hut are rewarded with the kind of views that stop them in their tracks . HighHut the dog offers a similarly breathtaking experience, but you don't have to gain 2,400 feet of elevation to get there.

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
