Story
Meet Alfredo Age: 2.5 years (March birthday) Gender: Male Breed: Mixed – 30% Labrador, 30% Great Pyrenees, 18% Pitbull, and other mixes (DNA results available) Why He’s Looking for a New Home Alfredo was adopted through NW Wag Rescue as a tiny puppy after being found in the desert of New Mexico with his mom and seven siblings. His current family has given him a wonderful start and invested time, training, and love into him. However, due to his size, strength, and reactivity around other dogs and strangers, they feel he would be happier and safer in a different environment. With two young children at home and a busy neighborhood, it has become clear that Alfredo would thrive in a calmer, more suitable home. His family loves him deeply, and this rehoming decision is based on what’s best for him long-term. Personality & Temperament Alfredo is a loyal, affectionate dog who adores his people. He’s equally happy adventuring outdoors on runs and hikes or spending the day lounging and snuggling on the couch. He’s very attached to his family, following them from room to room, and he thrives on closeness and attention. He is protective of his home and family, barking at noises or new visitors. With unfamiliar people, he can be nervous at first—barking and growling—but with patience and calm introductions, he warms up and turns into a total sweetheart, often rolling over for belly rubs once he feels safe. Alfredo is sensitive to loud noises (especially fireworks) and prefers peaceful environments over crowded, noisy places. He enjoys running and zooming in the yard but isn’t interested in fetch or most toys. He does, however, like chew toys, treats, and people food in moderation. Behavior with People & Animals Kids: Alfredo has been excellent with the two young children in his family. However, due to his reactivity and size, it is recommended that he live in a home without young children for safety and comfort. Dogs: His behavior depends on the setting. At daycare, he does wonderfully, playing with groups of 30–50 dogs and even boarding without issue. At home or on walks, though, he can be reactive—barking, growling, or lunging at other dogs. He once got out and scuffled with a passing dog but was quickly called back and no injuries occurred. Cats: He hasn’t lived with cats. On walks, he tends to bark and pull toward them. Training & Habits Leash trained: Yes, though reactive toward other dogs at times. House trained: Very reliable and signals when he needs to go out. Crate trained: Yes. Sleeps in his crate most nights and stays crated if left home longer than an hour. Sleeping arrangements: Usually in his crate, occasionally in bed with his family. Health Alfredo takes 40 mg of Fluoxetine daily to help manage anxiety. Healthy overall with a strong stomach. Ideal Home Alfredo will do best as the only pet in a calm home with a securely fenced yard. His ideal adopter will be someone (or a couple) who has time to dedicate to his exercise, training, and, most importantly, affection. Because of his protective and anxious nature, a quieter area outside of dense city life is recommended. In return, Alfredo will give endless love, loyalty, and companionship—along with the bonus of being a natural guard dog. Strengths Loving, affectionate, and submissive with his family Athletic and well-trained Loyal and protective Low-maintenance lifestyle (happy to lounge or adventure) Areas for Growth Managing anxiety and nervousness Reactivity toward other dogs while on leash Please fill out an adoption application to get in touch with his current family and to learn more about him and schedule a meet and greet.

Meet Dolca — A True Warrior with a Gentle Heart Name: DolcaAge: 3 yearsGender: FemaleWeight: 22 kg / 48 lbsBreed: Labrador mixColor: Black with light yellow tonesCoat: Short Health & Training Spayed Vaccinated Heartworm negative Leash trained Potty trained Crate trained Social Skills Good with dogs Good with kids Not cat-friendly Daily Life Dolca currently lives in a foster home alongside other rescue dogs and shares her space comfortably. She sleeps on a dog bed in a designated area and settles well into routines. She is clean in her foster environment and is expected to transition easily into a home setting with consistent house rules. Temperament & Personality Dolca is a true survivor — strong, resilient, and deeply loving. Despite everything she has endured, her gentle and joyful spirit shines through. She is sweet, playful, and social, thriving on companionship with both people and other dogs. She enjoys outdoor activities, playtime, and being part of everyday family life. Her easy-going nature makes her wonderful with people of all ages, including children. Dolca has completed professional rehabilitation and training with a trusted trainer who works closely with our rescue dogs and spends part of the year in Oregon. She comes with a solid foundation in basic obedience, good manners, and leash skills — truly a well-rounded companion. Whether you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy or a loving family dog, Dolca is ready to give her whole heart. Dolca’s Ideal Home Dolca would thrive in a stable, loving, and moderately active home where she is treated as a true family member. Her ideal home includes: Individuals or families who enjoy walks, outdoor time, and shared activities A home with respectful children or adults who value companionship Friendly resident dogs (a bonus — she loves canine friends!) Continued positive routines and reinforcement of her training A nurturing environment where she feels safe, loved, and included Above all, Dolca is looking for a home that honors her resilience, encourages her playful spirit, and cherishes her gentle heart every single day. Dolca’s Rescue Story Dolca’s journey is one of incredible survival. She was rescued near a local market when she was just three months old — badly injured, motionless, and so terrified that her rescuer initially believed she had already passed away. She hadn’t. Dolca was frozen in fear. She had been attacked by a group of children who threw stones at her and struck her on the head with a bottle, causing severe injury to her eye. With urgent medical care and dedicated love, Dolca made a full physical recovery. Sadly, after her rescue, Dolca was placed in what was believed to be a safe adoptive home. It was later discovered she was being mistreated again. Terrified, Dolca escaped — and that was when her rescuer learned the truth and brought her back to safety. This second betrayal left deep emotional scars. Dolca became fearful, hyper-vigilant, and distrustful, living as though danger was always near. Knowing she needed more help, her rescuer enlisted the support of a professional trainer. For a year and a half, Dolca worked patiently through emotional rehabilitation. Slowly, fear turned into trust. Anxiety softened into confidence. Pain gave way to joy. Today, Dolca is once again who she was always meant to be — sweet, playful, intelligent, and deeply affectionate. She is finally ready for the life she deserves. Dolca has suffered more than most, yet she still chooses love. Now, she’s waiting for the family who will choose her back. Adoption Details Dolca is currently in Mexico and will travel once a foster-to-adopt or trial commitment is in place. Adoption Fee: $600 Apply at: www.northwestwagrescue.org If you’re ready to open your heart to a truly special dog, Dolca is ready to meet you. ##2090184##
