Story
I’m a small Jack Russell Terrier mix girl, weighing about 6kg. I may be tiny, but my heart is incredibly big. My sister and I were rescued after wandering the streets at a very young age. Even though life was tough in the beginning, I never let it take away my bright spirit or my warm, loving nature. I love other dogs and make friends easily. Meeting new furry buddies is one of my favorite things, and I’m always gentle and friendly. I adore people even more — if our eyes meet, my tail starts wagging before I can even think about it! I just can’t help wanting to be close to you. I’m also a great walking companion. I match your pace beautifully and enjoy taking in the world around me with calm curiosity. Walks with me are peaceful, happy moments. I’m still a puppy, so I’m learning my potty manners at home. But don’t worry — I’m smart, eager to please, and I pay close attention to my humans. With a bit of consistency and love, I’ll learn quickly. Above all, I’m a little girl who loves giving and receiving affection. My heart is warm, soft, and ready to belong to someone special. I’m waiting patiently — and hopefully — for my first and forever family. If you can give a small life like me a warm home and endless love, I promise to give you all of my heart in return. 💛 With love, Seri 🐶💕

Uju

Jack Russell Terrier

Female, 1 yr
Seattle, WA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Uju was found in the corner of a rural chicken coop, left there with her one-month-old puppy, surviving on moldy rice. There was no protection, no care— just day after day of quietly enduring life. It was only through rescue that Uju was finally given a chance to begin again. People often say, “A baby gave birth to a baby,” because Uju herself was so small, fragile, and young. And yet, despite everything she went through, Uju never learned to resent people. She shows signs that she once lived in a home: ✔ She uses pee pads well ✔ She understands basic commands like “sit” She is a smart and quick learner. More than anything, Uju loves people deeply. She is affectionate, loves to stay close to her humans, and gets along well with other dogs without aggression. Overall, she has a gentle, easygoing personality. At times, her desire to be loved is so strong that she may show a little jealousy— not out of dominance, but because her heart is full of longing for human affection. It’s simply another sign of how much she cares. Uju carries an incredible amount of love inside her small body. Now, she waits— not for a cold, hungry place, but for a warm home where she can be loved for the rest of her life. Please welcome Uju into your life not out of pity, but as a family willing to protect and cherish her until the end. She will return that love many times over. 🌙💛

Story
Hi, I'm Vanilla! 🐶✨ A little lovebug with a big heart, ready to start a brand new chapter — maybe with you? I'm a 2-year-old girl, full of energy, love, and second chances. I didn’t always have it easy — I was left behind at an oyster factory in Tongyeong, forgotten and alone. Even after having four puppies, no one looked out for me… but that’s all in the past now. I was rescued, and ever since, I've been learning how beautiful life can be when you’re loved. Now I know how to trust, how to play, and most of all — how to love back. I’ve even picked up some smart tricks like “sit,” “paw,” and “go to your house!” Not bad, right? I’m super friendly and absolutely adore people — men and women alike. I haven’t met many young children yet, and since I’m pretty bouncy and energetic, I might do best with older kids who can match my vibe. Other dogs? LOVE them. I get excited to meet new furry friends and will happily introduce myself first! I haven’t met any cats yet, so I can’t say how we’d get along, but I don’t have any aggression or prey drive — I’m more about snuggles and zoomies than anything else. I’m still working on leash training, and I’m not totally used to living indoors yet, but I’m a quick learner. If you show me the way, I’ll follow. I’m a good girl with my barking, too — I might bark when someone new comes in or if I’m really excited, but if you say “no,” I usually settle down quickly. I love being touched, hugged, and cuddled, especially by women. I’ll even give you gentle hugs to show you how much I care. With male guardians, I’m respectful — if you’re not in the mood for snuggles, I’ll understand and give you space. I enjoy toys but I don’t destroy things in the house, and I’m not possessive over food or toys either. Sharing is caring, right? Health-wise, I’m in great shape — no major illnesses in my past, just a whole lot of resilience and a heart full of love. Now all that’s missing is a forever family. A warm home. A couch to cuddle on. A person — or people — who will never leave me behind again. Could that be you? I’m ready to be your joy, your companion, and your sunshine. Let’s write our story together. 💛 With love, Vanilla

Story
Meet Kiara Age: 2 years Gender: Female Weight: 12 kg / 26 lbs Breed: Mixed breed (wire-haired) Color: Gold Health & Wellness Spayed Fully vaccinated Heartworm negative Personality & Behavior Good with dogs: Yes Good with kids: Yes Good with cats: No Resource guarding: No Barking: No Shedding: No Energy level: Low to medium Training & Adaptability Leash trained: Yes Rides well in the car: Yes Potty trained: Kiara is clean and has shown she can adapt well to a home routine. She is currently living in an open daycare/shelter environment and will do best with a consistent daily potty routine when transitioning into a home. Crate trained: Yes (used primarily for air travel) When alone: Kiara currently lives in an open shelter setting and naturally seeks out her own quiet space when she wants to rest or decompress. When transitioning into a home, it’s recommended she not be left alone for more than 4–6 hours at first to help her feel safe and secure. Sleeping arrangements: She sleeps in a designated area alongside other dogs where she feels comfortable and at ease. While she is not currently in a home environment, she is expected to adjust quickly. Temperament Kiara truly stands out for her gentle, calm, and mature demeanor. She’s the kind of dog who quietly captures your heart the moment you meet her. Affectionate and easy to be around, Kiara bonds quickly and genuinely enjoys companionship and cuddles. At the same time, she has a lovely independent side and is perfectly content finding a sunny spot to relax on her own. This beautiful balance makes her an ideal family dog or a wonderful companion for someone seeking a loyal, loving presence. Ideal Home Kiara will thrive with a family or a dedicated individual who values gentle companionship and regular daily activities. She’s looking for a calm, loving environment where she can continue to feel safe, secure, and cherished while sharing her affection freely. Rescue Story Kiara was surrendered by her family to a local rescue partner known for caring for multiple dogs. When her family decided they no longer wanted her, Kiara’s future became uncertain. Without hesitation, her rescuer stepped in to protect her so she would never experience neglect. As if she understood she was finally safe, Kiara adjusted beautifully over more than a year to her new life as part of a pack. Though resources were sometimes limited, she always had stability, balance, and care. Now, it’s Kiara’s turn to move forward and find her forever home—a place where she will be chosen every day, deeply loved, and cherished for the rest of her life. Location: Mexico (waiting for a family to commit to a 10-day trial) Adoption Fee: $600 Apply at: www.northwestwagrescue.org ##2627917##
