About Shaal

Meet Shaal: a loving mama eager for her forever home! At just 3 years old, this Shepherd and Border Collie mix weighs 62 lbs and is currently located in Gig Harbor, WA. Shaal’s journey has been tough—she was found abandoned with her three puppies near a supermarket in Kuwait, where she faced unimaginable challenges. Sadly, two of her little ones were lost to traffic before rescuers could help. Now, she and her surviving daughter, Gigi, have made it to safety in Washington, both searching for loving families. Despite her past, Shaal is a sweet-natured girl who adores everyone she meets, whether adults, children, or men and women. With a medium energy level, she enjoys delightful walks and relaxing at home when the day is done. Shaal is friendly with other dogs and walks well on a leash. She’s crate-trained and travels nicely in the car, displaying excellent manners all around. Shaal has been spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, and she’s house trained. While she hasn’t been tested with cats, she would adapt well to family life, with or without another dog. Now it’s her turn to be loved and cared for after her sacrifices for her puppies. Could you be the one to give Shaal the happy ending she deserves? Apply to adopt her through NorthWest Wag Rescue and help her discover the joy of a true home. Don’t miss out on this affectionate girl—she’s waiting for you!
