Meet Nicky, a brave and beautiful girl with a heart of gold and a curious mind.

With her friendly and playful nature, she is sure to bring joy and laughter to her new family. Nicky is young and has her whole life ahead of her, so she is looking for a family that can give her the time, attention, and love she deserves.

Story
Hi, I am Monkey! I am a happy, playful, and quirky little dog with lots of personality. I love to play with other dogs, go for walks, and snuggle on the couch with my people. I enjoy lying in the sun and being lazy, but I also get the zoomies and love to play when the mood hits me.I was hit by a car in front of my rescuer's house in May 2025 and had a fractured femur that was surgically repaired. I used to live across the street, mostly outside, but after my accident, the man who had me didn't want me back. That turned out to be lucky for me because now I'm looking for a loving forever home where I will be wanted and loved.I'm kennel trained, affectionate, and loyal. I would do great in a home with another dog and an owner who enjoys walks and snuggle time.This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement.

Story
MEET ROCKY, a 1-year-old Australian Kelpie in need of a foster or forever home! Rocky is a very affectionate dog who loves both humans and dogs alike! He weighs only 40 lbs., and is a loving boy. Kelpies are intelligent dogs, believed to have been descended from Border Collies. They love to be stimulated with walks and other activities. Rocky would do best in an active home where his person or people work from home, or are retired, as he loves company. He'd also thrive in a home with another dog, though it's not a necessity. Please email for an application.

These pups are in Gig Harbor, Washington too!

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.
