Meet Chanel Name: ChanelAge: 1 year, 3 monthsGender: FemaleWeight: 13 kg / 28 lbsBreed: Mixed Wire HairColor: Black Health Spayed Vaccinated Heartworm Negative   Personality & Behavior Good with dogs? Yes Good with kids? Yes Good with cats? No – she has a strong small-prey drive Resource guarding? No Vocal? Alert barker Shedding? Low to moderate – regular brushing recommended Energy Level? Medium–High (she’s still young!) Chanel’s scruffy wire coat and bright personality make her especially charming for wire-haired dog lovers. She may be a little shy at first when meeting new people, but give her just a few minutes and her confident, outgoing spirit shines through. She is vibrant, intelligent, naturally alert, and eager to learn. From her pack, Chanel has always been the most independent and secure, confidently engaging with other dogs and enjoying playtime. She forms strong bonds with her people and will be a devoted companion. She’s attentive to her surroundings and will let you know with a bark if something catches her attention.   Training & Adaptability ‍ Leash-trained? Yes Good in the car? Yes Potty-trained? She will adjust well to a new home with consistent routines and follow-up habits. Crate-trained? Yes (primarily for travel) When alone: Chanel has always lived with siblings or other dogs, either in foster care or boarding. She has not regularly been left completely alone but will separate herself when she wants quiet time. If she transitions into a home as an only dog, it’s recommended she not be left alone for extended periods initially. A 4–6 hour window is ideal while she adjusts and builds confidence in a new environment. Sleeping arrangements: She currently sleeps in a kennel area alongside her two siblings.   Activity & Lifestyle Chanel is agile, athletic, and has excellent stamina. She would thrive in a home that enjoys outdoor activities such as walks, hikes, and interactive play. Because she is clever and energetic, she will need a secure yard and consistent mental stimulation to prevent boredom. She loves staying engaged and learning new things — an active household will suit her perfectly.   Ideal Home Chanel will flourish in a home that offers: • Daily companionship and interaction• An active lifestyle• Mental stimulation and playtime• A secure environment• Possibly another playful dog companion She would also do well as a second dog, as she enjoys canine companionship. However, she can bond deeply with her humans and thrive as a solo dog with proper structure and activity. Chanel is loyal, social, and loving — ready to build a lifelong bond with her family.   Rescue Story Chanel’s story is one of patience, kindness, and perfect timing. At just two months old, Chanel and her two siblings were abandoned in a crate inside a residential complex in Guadalajara, Mexico in early 2025. Confused and vulnerable, the tiny puppies huddled together for comfort. A security guard noticed them and alerted a neighbor known for her love of dogs. Without hesitation, she stepped in and became their guardian angel, bringing them to safety and committing to their care. Rather than rushing them into adoption simply because they were cute puppies, they were given time to grow, heal, and properly develop. This thoughtful approach ensured they would find lasting homes — not impulse adoptions. Today, Chanel is ready for her forever chapter — a home where her journey of resilience, love, and hope continues.   Location: Mexico (waiting for a committed trial home) Adoption Fee: $600 Apply at: www.northwestwagrescue.org Chanel is ready to meet her forever family. ##2661926##

Story
Dog Name: Brady Age: 8 years Gender: Male Weight: 5.5 kgs / 11 lbs Breed: Wire Fox Terrier Mix   Spayed/Neutered? Yes Vaccinated? Yes  HeartWorm Negative? Yes Good with dogs? Yes Good with kids? Unknown Good with cats? Unknown Has experience on a leash? Yes, Brady walks well on a leash and enjoys his outdoor adventures. Potty trained? Yes. Crate trained? Not yet, but he is adaptable and can learn with the right guidance. He currently lives with other foster dogs and shares the space comfortably. Brady sleeps in a cozy dog bed alongside his foster siblings in a designated area. Brady – A Gentle Soul Who Just Wants to Be Close to You Brady is the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much… just a quiet place, a warm spot in the sun, and most of all, someone to love. At 8 years old, this sweet senior boy has a calm and tender spirit. He finds happiness in the simplest moments resting peacefully, taking slow walks, and following his person from room to room just to be near. More than anything, Brady wants to feel safe, connected, and part of someone’s life. He gets along well with other dogs, but his heart truly belongs to his human. Brady is the kind of companion who will gently lean into you, sit close, and remind you every day what unconditional love feels like. And if you go for a car ride, don’t be surprised if he insists on sitting right on your lap he just wants to be as close as possible. Despite everything he’s been through, Brady remains loving, trusting, and full of quiet affection. For his age, he is in great condition and only needs a simple daily joint supplement (Flexadin Advanced) to stay comfortable and keep enjoying life. As a senior, he moves at a gentle, slower pace, and you may notice a slight curve in his back; these are simply natural, age-related changes, and with his supplement, he remains comfortable and happy. Senior dogs like Brady have a special kind of love deeper, calmer, and incredibly grateful. He’s not looking for adventure… he’s looking for you. If you open your heart to Brady, he will give you a love that is pure, loyal, and truly unforgettable.  Brady’s Ideal Home Brady would thrive in a calm, quiet home where he can enjoy the simple, peaceful life he loves so much. He is perfect for someone looking for a low-energy, deeply affectionate companion who will happily stay close by their side. His ideal home would be with a person or family who spends a lot of time at home or can include him in their daily routine, since Brady’s favorite place is right next to his human. Whether it’s relaxing on the couch, enjoying the sunshine, or going for gentle walks, he just wants to share those moments with you. He gets along well with other dogs, so he could live with a calm canine companion, but he would also be perfectly happy as your one and only, soaking up all your love and attention. Brady would do best in a home that offers stability, patience, and lots of affection, understanding the beauty of a senior dog. His only special care is a daily joint supplement to keep him comfortable. In return, Brady will give you quiet loyalty, unconditional love, and the kind of companionship that makes a house truly feel like home.    Brady’s Rescue Story Brady and his lifelong companion, Chelsey, lost everything when their beloved owner passed away. Suddenly, the only home they had ever known was gone. Their owner’s husband tried to care for them, but he was overwhelmed and unable to meet their needs. By the time he reached out for help, both Brady and Chelsey were in very poor condition, needing care, stability, and a second chance. Despite the uncertainty and changes, Brady’s gentle and loving nature never faded. Even during those difficult moments, he remained calm, loyal, and deeply connected to people, holding onto the quiet hope of being loved again. Once rescued, Brady finally received the care and attention he needed. With time, love, and a safe environment, he began to relax and show his true self—a sweet, peaceful soul who simply wants to be close to his human. Today, Brady is in good condition, and his only ongoing care is a simple daily joint supplement (Flexadin Advanced) to keep him comfortable and enjoying life. Brady’s story is one of love, loss, and resilience. Now, he is ready for a new beginning—a forever home where he can feel safe, cherished, and never alone again. Brady is waiting in Mexico until a family is committed to taking him on a 10-day trial. If you are interested, apply at www.northwestwagrescue.org his adoption fee is $600 ##2701722##
