Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please go to our website for all specific information about this dog.  Our info doesn't transfer over to the adoption sites.  Huxley came to us with his girlfriend Haven a couple of weeks after we took in their 2 baby girls.  Their owner left the country and a family member took them in.  Soon after they realized Haven was pregnant so they kept them until the puppies were ready for homes.  They couldn't keep them permanently because they already had dogs of their own.  So now it's Huxley's turn to find a permanent family that will make his next home his last home.   He's a nice boy and great size at 34 pounds.  Not too small and not too big.  He is house trained and been a nice guest in his foster home.  He was never crate trained and doesn't appreciate being in a crate, not for long anyways (he messed up a crate door to escape when he first arrived).  Update:  he is now crate trained and doing well there when he needs to be in it.   Over the time we've had him, we've tried to place him with different other dogs.  It doesn't seem that he's aggressive, but he is inappropriate with his interactions.  He pounces on this and mouths them and it's scary for the dog.  So we'd like him to be your one and only.  But he's easy to take walks in pubic too so it's not like he has to be isolated from dogs.  We've had him at several adoption events. We are requiring a securely fenced yard for this guy so he can safely explore his yard while out on potty breaks or hanging out with you outside.     Prior to adoption, our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and parasite treated/prevented.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 6, 2026, 2:36 pm

Nutmegs mama was a Schnauzer, dad is unknown, but she is 100% cute!  Foster Profile:  Nutmeg is a sweet little girl who loves to play with the big dogs. S he is already kenneling with very little whining and settles in easily. She is learning quickly to potty outside and is already using pads consistently at night when she is let out to potty at 2 am (or if needed) She is sweet with everyone and loves to snuggle. She is easily fitting in with the rest of the pack. Learning boundaries when playing as well. At the moment she isn’t too mouthy and when alerted by a quick human yelp she backs off and doesn’t go for the hand again. She adapts and learns quickly so will be an excellent pup to watch grow up.

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##
