Story
Meet Kira — our beautiful one-eyed girl with a whole lot of heart Kira is a 5-year-old female Cattle Dog mix weighing about 48 lbs. She’s spayed, vaccinated, heartworm-negative, and ready for her forever home. Why we love Kira Calm, steady, and low-to-medium energy Great with other dogs (no resource guarding!) Quiet, crate-trained, leash-trained, and potty-trained Loyal, intelligent, and deeply bonded to her people Confident and well-mannered with vets and caretakers Kira enjoys playing with other dogs but also loves taking time to herself to rest or explore. True to her cattle dog roots, she’s smart, curious, and responds beautifully to positive reinforcement. Ideal homeKira would thrive with an active adult or family with older kids who can offer structure, companionship, and regular exercise. She bonds closely with her person and is a classic “shadow dog” — happiest hiking, jogging, or simply sharing daily life together. A secure home with space to roam would be perfect. Her storyKira was found roaming the streets near Guadalajara with serious injuries to her eye. She trusted the right human, followed her to safety, and underwent surgery to remove her eye and end her pain. Since then, Kira has healed beautifully — physically and emotionally — showing incredible resilience and grace. Currently in Mexico, waiting for adoption Adoption Fee: $600 Apply at www.northwestwagrescue.org Kira may have lost an eye, but she hasn’t lost her sparkle — or her ability to love deeply.

Story
I am forced to re-home my dog, Winston, due to a divorce and my job creating an unworkable situation for him. I rescued him from the Wenatchee Humane Society about three years ago. They suspect he was a COVID pet (born ~March 2020), and as such, he has separation anxiety. He came in as a stray, and is flinchy due to what I can only guess was his prior owner's physically abusing him. He has an extremely calm and poised demeanor, gets along great with other dogs (lots of dog park socialization), and would be equally as happy chasing a ball as "just being close to you." I suspect that he is an Australian cattle dog and border collie mix, but I haven't had a DNA test done. He is up to date on his shots, and very healthy. In fact, I would go as far to say that he's very pampered - as he deserves.

Story
Rudi is 10 years old: we’ve had him since he was a puppy. He’s always been such a cuddle bug: he loves creature comforts and is very food motivated. He also loves being outside and hanging out while we do yard work, going exploring etc. He has great name recall and would make an excellent farm dog. He has had 2 aggressive episodes. A few years ago, he was resource guarding both a blanket and the couch and my friend went to give him a kiss on the snout and he bit her. She didn’t pick up his warning cues and he has since lost couch privileges and we’ve gotten rid of the blanket. He also nipped at my dad’s hand when he reached down to pet him at the table last year. I don’t have all the details surrounding this incident. We’re devastated to rehome him but we have a baby who has just become mobile and we’re too afraid that something could happen. We’ve quarantined him most of the day and it’s degraded his quality of life. We want him to be somewhere he can be happy and fulfilled.

Story
We adopted him from an abused shelter and he became our favorite pet and companion and became our ESA. He is a very loyal guard dog who will attack anybody who comes near you or your property. Unfortunately, because he was trained to be a guard dog, he has issues with strangers, especially larger males, and he takes some time to adapt. He seems to do much better with women. He fairs well as an outside dog and has a thick coat, as long as there is a small heaterHis instincts are to herd, and kill anything that is a threat to a farm, including coyotes and even mice. Because he is a wolf breed, and young, he is always trying to find his place in the “pack”, which doesn’t mix well with young children. I wouldn’t adopt him unless your children are 12 or older. We are trying to have a child, and we just don’t think he will be suited for us. We recommend a good space to run and play. He is hyper, loving, loyal and trained. We will travel to help assimilate him.
