Story
Meet Kira — our beautiful one-eyed girl with a whole lot of heart Kira is a 5-year-old female Cattle Dog mix weighing about 48 lbs. She’s spayed, vaccinated, heartworm-negative, and ready for her forever home. Why we love Kira Calm, steady, and low-to-medium energy Great with other dogs (no resource guarding!) Quiet, crate-trained, leash-trained, and potty-trained Loyal, intelligent, and deeply bonded to her people Confident and well-mannered with vets and caretakers Kira enjoys playing with other dogs but also loves taking time to herself to rest or explore. True to her cattle dog roots, she’s smart, curious, and responds beautifully to positive reinforcement. Ideal homeKira would thrive with an active adult or family with older kids who can offer structure, companionship, and regular exercise. She bonds closely with her person and is a classic “shadow dog” — happiest hiking, jogging, or simply sharing daily life together. A secure home with space to roam would be perfect. Her storyKira was found roaming the streets near Guadalajara with serious injuries to her eye. She trusted the right human, followed her to safety, and underwent surgery to remove her eye and end her pain. Since then, Kira has healed beautifully — physically and emotionally — showing incredible resilience and grace. Currently in Mexico, waiting for adoption Adoption Fee: $600 Apply at www.northwestwagrescue.org Kira may have lost an eye, but she hasn’t lost her sparkle — or her ability to love deeply.

YesGood with cats? Has not been around catsLeash experience? Yes—Gala walks well on leash and enjoys her outdoor adventuresPotty trained? YesCrate trained? YesWhen alone: Lives comfortably with other foster dogsSleeping arrangement: Sleeps in a cozy dog bed alongside her foster siblings   Meet Gala — Your Next Adventure Buddy! Gala was born to explore. Whether she’s zooming around the yard, playing hide-and-seek with treats, or heading out on exciting walks (especially near the lake!), her joyful energy and curiosity are contagious. Agile, smart, and always ready for fun, Gala has a way of turning everyday moments into little adventures. That said, she also has a wonderfully sweet and calm side. Gala loves curling up next to her people, relaxing in cozy corners, and soaking up affection. She’s affectionate, social, and thrives on companionship. Gala gets along beautifully with other dogs and children, adores her toys and chicken treats, and is happiest when she’s included as part of the family. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and active companion, Gala is ready to bring joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories into your life.   What Does Gala’s Ideal Home Look Like? Gala would thrive with an active individual or family who enjoys spending time outdoors and can provide regular exercise and mental enrichment. A home with a secure yard would be ideal, but she could also do well in an apartment with consistent walks and playtime. She’d be a great fit for a household with children and/or another friendly dog. Most importantly, Gala’s ideal home is one where she’s loved, included, and treated as a true family member.   Gala’s Rescue Story Gala is a beautiful Australian Cattle Dog mix who has overcome a heartbreaking start to life. She and her two siblings were found abandoned on a little-traveled road, inside a trash bag—emaciated and suffering from mange. Despite everything she endured, Gala’s spirit never dimmed. With proper care, patience, and love, she has blossomed into the happy, affectionate, and adventurous dog she is today. Gala is currently waiting in Mexico for a committed foster or trial home.

Winston

Australian Cattle Dog Border Collie

Male, Adult
Fox Island, WA
Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
I am forced to re-home my dog, Winston, due to a divorce and my job creating an unworkable situation for him. I rescued him from the Wenatchee Humane Society about three years ago. They suspect he was a COVID pet (born ~March 2020), and as such, he has separation anxiety. He came in as a stray, and is flinchy due to what I can only guess was his prior owner's physically abusing him. He has an extremely calm and poised demeanor, gets along great with other dogs (lots of dog park socialization), and would be equally as happy chasing a ball as "just being close to you." I suspect that he is an Australian cattle dog and border collie mix, but I haven't had a DNA test done. He is up to date on his shots, and very healthy. In fact, I would go as far to say that he's very pampered - as he deserves.

Story
Rudi is 10 years old: we’ve had him since he was a puppy. He’s always been such a cuddle bug: he loves creature comforts and is very food motivated. He also loves being outside and hanging out while we do yard work, going exploring etc. He has great name recall and would make an excellent farm dog. He has had 2 aggressive episodes. A few years ago, he was resource guarding both a blanket and the couch and my friend went to give him a kiss on the snout and he bit her. She didn’t pick up his warning cues and he has since lost couch privileges and we’ve gotten rid of the blanket. He also nipped at my dad’s hand when he reached down to pet him at the table last year. I don’t have all the details surrounding this incident. We’re devastated to rehome him but we have a baby who has just become mobile and we’re too afraid that something could happen. We’ve quarantined him most of the day and it’s degraded his quality of life. We want him to be somewhere he can be happy and fulfilled.
