Hi, my name is Commander and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Mar 23, 2024. I’m all about being close to you—snuggling up or even sharing your pillow, if you’ll let me! I’m a big guy, though, and sometimes I forget just how big I am, so get ready for lots of love. On walks, I like to take my time, sniffing everything and making sure everyone knows I’ve been there. Tug toys are my absolute favorite, and I love a good game!

Hi, my name is Candy and I would love to meet you. I have been at the shelter since Jun 21, 2024. I love greeting new friends by happily shoving a toy right into their hand or lap—it’s my favorite way to say hello. When I’m not playing, I’m the best cuddle buddy and love snuggling up close. I’m a bit of a goofball too, and I’ll always keep you laughing with my big, silly grin!

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Adopted from Tacoma Humane society and tried to work with him to get along with our other older dog. They are constantly wrestling through house and outside in yard. On his own, is calmer and will play with toys and with you as owner. Approximate birthdate 5/14/2023. Sweet dog and wants to please. Lots of energy and needs walking. Responds well to authoritative voice commands. I am not sure he would be a good fit with kids even teens. Needs to be only dog in home as he has a hard time sharing attention with other pets. Very smart- can sit, down, shake, stay for short time, will go to crate or sleeping pad in TV room with command of "box". Needs consistent commands to allow him to relax and be his best. Is crate trained and I will supply crate. Is house broken and once you know his tell, you know when he needs to go out. Likes to snuggle next to you on couch. Is not food protective with people. Up to date on vaccines as of 10/2024 ( will provide records), negative fecal test 10/2024.

Story
Adopt me? Foster me??? Name: Sweetie About Sweetie: Meet Sweetie, an 11 month old Pittie with a heart of gold. This sweet girl is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and full of youthful personality. She is incredibly trainable and loves to play. Sweetie was found tied to a fence in Federal Way back in January and has been in a boarding facility. She is on the lookout for her forever home or a foster family who can give her the love and attention she deserves. Sadly, as we approach the very busy boarding season in the next months to come, there simply isn't much availability for this sweet girl. A foster or adoptive family is urgently needed. Despite her difficult start in life, Sweetie is full of love and affection. She is eager to find her forever family and is ready to bring joy and happiness into their lives. She would do best as an only dog and with older children. If you are considering adding a furry friend to your family, please consider giving Sweetie a chance. She is sure to bring endless love and companionship to your life. reach out to www.northwestwagrescue.org ##2040764##

Story
Meet Lilo! *we are trying to find a home to accept our VERY bonded pair, applications to take Lilo and her brother Oliver (separate profile) will be considered first* Lilos strengthsshe is a beautiful, spayed, blue eyed, all over white with a few light brown freckles, pittie and high energy girl! At a spry 6 years old, she LOVES to play fetch with her favorite ball. She loves adventure and does great on car rides - swimming in a lake during summer is her Super Bowl! she is strong but gentle, shes a tall land seal made of muscle and endless kisses. Lilos weaknesses - she has a prey drive (bunnies, birds, cats, etc). Shes good with kids but does like her bodily autonomy/not climbed on. And very oddly, lilo is afraid of bicycles! Not sure why but she grumbles at them from the window of the car when driving 😂 *Lilo was recently evaluated for an intermittent limp- no bone break. Just soft tissue damage that needs time to heal but with us moving, time is against us*

Story
Meet Oliver! *we are trying to find a home to accept our VERY bonded pair, interest in taking Oliver and his sister Lilo will be considered with priority* our family is DEVASTATED at this need to rehome* Oliver’s strengths: Oliver is a handsome petite pittie at 50-55lbs. He has the cutest little windmill tail wag and is ALWAYS happy. He has suffered terrible animal cruelty in the first year of his life, so at newly 6 years old, he has come SO far and imprints on “his people”! Blankets and pillows are his bread and butter! Olivers weaknesses: Oliver has a high prey drive which includes dogs smaller than him, cats, etc. He is NOT a runner but he has escaped our chain link fence twice to try to catch a bunny. Wood fence only. Due to his past life experience and having trust issues, he can be leash reactive (out of fear, not aggression). Oliver is truly the SWEETEST BOY, he just needs a little extra time to warm up!

Freya

American Pit Bull Terrier Dalmatian

Female, Senior
Puyallup, WA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Freya was adopted from an individual at 6 months old, as a companion for our young family, and for our similar aged neutered male dog. She lives with cats and is cautious of them, and is fine with older children. She tends to be anxious, and is unpredictable with other dogs. When she was an only dog after fights with our other female spayed dog, her personality really opened up; she has been much more relaxed and joyful. She deserves to have this environment for the rest of her life. She is in good physical condition, loves to play and cuddle, or nap in front of a fire on a cold night. She is not on prescription food, and only requires occasional pain medication if she plays too hard. She is a good girl, and deserves a better home environment than we can give her.
