Story
Meet Laverne – Your Sunny-Spirited Adventure Buddy ☀️🐾 Laverne is a sweet, affectionate rescue girl who is ready to bring warmth, love, and companionship into her forever home. She is around 2 years old and weighs approximately 25 pounds, making her a wonderful medium-sized companion—perfect for cuddles, adventures, and everyday life. Laverne is being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX, where she has settled beautifully into a loving routine. Laverne is fully potty trained and crate trained, making her an easy transition into a new home. She is very dog friendly and truly enjoys the company of other dogs, whether it’s playtime in the yard or relaxing together after a busy day. One of her favorite pastimes is soaking up the sunshine—she loves curling up in a sunny spot by a window for a peaceful nap. This girl also loves to go places! Laverne loads easily into the car and enjoys standing on the console so she can see everything on the road ahead. Whether it’s a quick errand or a longer adventure, she’s always happy to ride along. She is leash trained and walks nicely, making daily strolls enjoyable. At heart, Laverne is a true cuddle bug. She adores being held, petted, and spending time close to her people. Bath time isn’t her favorite, but she tolerates baths well and handles them calmly. Laverne is a loving, well-rounded girl who is ready to offer sunshine naps, joyful adventures, and endless affection to her forever family. 💛 To see more pictures and videos, copy and paste this link.

Story
Meet Nugget Age: 1 year (born Jan 2024) Gender: Male Weight: 7.2 kg / 15 lbs (small size) Breed: Wire-haired mixed breed Color: Gold Health Neutered Vaccinated Heartworm negative Personality & Behavior Nugget is a spunky, vibrant little guy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s intelligent, affectionate, and loves being close to his people. Nugget happily greets new faces and enjoys being part of daily life—whether that’s household chores, errands, or relaxing together. Good with dogs: Yes  Resource guarding: No  Barking: Alert barker; may bark when left alone  Kids: Yes, older children preferred  Cats: No (strong small-prey drive)  Shedding: Minimal (regular brushing recommended)  Energy level: Medium  Nugget is a fully indoor dog and naturally alert, as many small breeds are, but he truly thrives on companionship and bonding with his person. Training & Habits ‍ Leash trained: Yes  Car rides: Yes  Potty trained: Adjusts well to new home routines (currently living in a foster home)  Crate trained: Yes, for travel only (not airline carry-on size)  As with any dog, maintaining a consistent daily routine will help ensure continued potty-training success. Home Life When alone: Nugget does not enjoy being left alone and can become anxious and vocal. He will do best with someone who is home most of the time or in a home with another friendly dog for companionship.  Sleeping: Sleeps indoors on a dog bed and prefers being close to people. Ideal Home Nugget is more than just a pet—he’s a devoted companion ready to fill your home with love, joy, and warmth. Because he values companionship so deeply, his ideal home is one where he isn’t left alone for long periods. A homebody adopter, remote worker, or family with another friendly dog would be a wonderful match. Adopting Nugget means gaining a loyal best friend who will love you unconditionally every single day. Rescue Story Nugget’s rescue story is one of patience, kindness, and perfect timing. He was first spotted near a health clinic, following a man and a young girl who believed he belonged to someone else. When it became clear he was alone, Nugget disappeared into the crowd. Days later, his rescuer spotted him again in the same area. This time, she approached slowly, offering food and patience. Trust was built, and that moment marked the beginning of Nugget’s journey to safety. Over the past month, he has learned what love, consistency, and care feel like—and now he’s ready for a forever home of his own. Location: Mexico (waiting for a 10-day trial commitment) Adoption Fee: $600 Apply: www.northwestwagrescue.org ##2627920##
