While kind neighbors provided occasional food, life was still incredibly harsh. Over time, the group dwindled until only three dogs remained.<br/><br/>In 2024, a group of compassionate rescuers stepped in and saved them. While the others have since found homes, Gordito is still waiting.<br/><br/>Despite everything he's been through, Gordito remains incredibly resilient, happy, and full of love. His past has shaped him into the calm, gentle, and deeply appreciative dog he is today.<br/><br/>Location: Mexico (ready to travel to WA with a committed 10-day trial home)<br/>Adoption Fee: $600<br/>Apply at: www.northwestwagrescue.org
