🚨 Committed Trial Family Needed by JUNE 13 🚨
So Rupert can FLY to the Pacific Northwest on JUNE 20! ✈️🐾

Meet Rupert!
🐶 1.5-year-old male GSD mix | Neutered | Survivor | Gentle Soul

Rupert’s story is one of survival, heartbreak, and incredible resilience. At just 8 weeks old, he battled and beat parvo—a deadly virus for pups. But what came next is unimaginable: the yard owner where he was recovering tragically killed several other parvo survivors out of fear. Rupert was one of the lucky few who made it out alive.

Today, Rupert is healthy, happy, and ready for his forever. 💛 He’s sweet, playful, and amazingly gentle—especially with kids. He plays beautifully with toddlers as young as 3 and gets along great with other dogs. He’s fully potty trained and making steady progress with his leash skills. 🐾👣

Now he just needs a chance. Rupert is in Kuwait, waiting for a committed PNW family to open their heart and home for a 10-day trial—the first step to forever. 🏡✨

🔹 Adoption Fee: $500 (covers medical & transport)
🔹 Trial Family Deadline: JUNE 13
🔹 Flight to PNW: JUNE 20

If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and courageous pup, Rupert is ready to meet you. Please share to help this sweet boy find his way home. 🐾❤️

🚨 TRIAL FAMILY NEEDED BY JUNE 13TH
So Novac can fly here on June 20th ✈️🐾

Meet Novac – a 7-month-old survivor with a heart as big as his soulful Collie eyes. 💛 This sweet pup has already endured more than most dogs ever will. He was found in Kuwait, waiting for days after being hit by an oil truck and left behind near a gas station. When rescuers finally reached him, he was rushed to the hospital, where surgeons placed a plate in his leg—and now he’s walking proudly on all fours!

Novac’s story is one of resilience, hope, and incredible spirit. Despite his rough start, he’s full of trust and love. He’s great with other dogs, gentle with cats, and learning fast when it comes to leash and potty training. 🐕‍🦺✨

Novac waiting for a miracle: a trial adopter family in the Pacific Northwest to give him a chance at a forever home. 🏡💕

🔸 Adoption fee: $500 (covers medical & transport)

Calling all XL dog lovers — Meet Biggie! 🐾

Biggie is the definition of a gentle giant — under 2 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and currently weighing in at 100lbs (and still growing!). This happy-go-lucky boy has excellent house and kennel manners, and he’s fantastic with people of all ages as well as other dogs.

Biggie has even met chickens and horses with minimal interest. He’s still learning that cats aren't for chasing — progress is being made, but he's not quite there yet. He loves car rides, tagging along on errands, and being part of whatever you're doing — but he’s just as content to snooze on the couch during a lazy day.

Biggie's journey hasn't been easy. He was found as a stray in Roswell NM, weighing just 89 lbs, and heartbreakingly placed on the euthanasia list after only 6 days — all because of “happy tail.” He was so thrilled to greet every person that he injured his tail wagging against the kennel walls.

Recently Biggie finally made his way to Washington and is now in foster care in Port Orchard, eagerly looking for his forever home.

Don’t miss your chance to welcome this lovable BFG (Big Friendly Giant) into your life. Fill out an adoption application today!

Thanks to a compassionate soul who gave his mom a safe place to give birth, Charly grew up surrounded by love. And today, his journey comes full circle… Charly has been adopted! 🐾

This sweet, gentle boy now has a forever family who will continue to give him the love he’s always known — and we couldn’t be happier.

🚨Help Bring Rupert to Safety🚨

Meet Rupert 🐾

This sweet 1.5-year-old GSD mix has been through more than most dogs ever will—and he's come out the other side full of love and hope.

At just 8 weeks old, Rupert survived parvo, a deadly virus for puppies. But after recovering, tragedy struck—some of the other survivors where he was staying were killed out of fear. Rupert was one of the lucky ones who made it out alive. 💔

Today, he’s thriving in a boarding facility in Kuwait. He is just waiting for the opportunity to travel to the US.

Rupert is:
🐶 Great with other dogs
👶 Gentle with toddlers
🚽 Potty trained
🐕 Working on his leash skills

He’s full of playful energy, soft cuddles, and quiet courage.

✨ Here’s the exciting part: Rupert can fly from Kuwait to WA in mid-June—but only if a family can commit to fostering or giving him a 10-day trial. We would hate to miss this chance to get him here and into the loving home he deserves. The time is ticking.

💻 Apply to foster or adopt: www.northwestwagrescue.org

If you're ready to open your heart to a resilient, affectionate soul, Rupert is ready to meet you. ❤️
