TOFFEE - Labrador Retriever and Staffordshire Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Langley Township, British Columbia

Hi friends! I am TOFFEE and here is some info about me.

PHYSICAL INFO:


Breed: Lab Staffordshire mix
Age: approx.7 years
Gender: Male
Weight: 40 lbs (18 kg)
Current Location: Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico


RESCUE STORY - I was rescued from a shelter where more than 200 dogs were living in poor conditions and severe overcrowding. At first, I was over looked and almost forgotten! That's becasue I was hiding in a wood kennel off to the side where nobody could bother me. Luckily, my rescuer saw me and wanted to get me outa there! Once I was brought to safety, I immediately let my beautiful personality shine. I am told that I'm a wonderful dog who is incredibly loving and grateful. I am sooo happy to finally be out of that unsafe environment, and I hope I can now find the loving furever home I deserve.

TEMPERAMENT - I am a chill boy who likes to rest, play, rest- in that order! I'm also pretty quiet, not a lot of barking from me. I haven't shown any resource guarding or any kinds of reactivity either. My favourite things ever are treats and toys! I have never had a home all to myself, but my rescuer believes I would adapt quickly. I already knows some basic commands (see here in Spanish!) and am eager to learn.

ENERGY LEVEL - Medium-Low. I am just an affectionate, sweet boy. My rescuer says I am a GENTLE-man! But I sure love to run and play outside! see me here

GETS ALONG WITH:


Kids – Unknown.
Dogs – Yup! I live with lots of other dogs at the shelter, and we get along great. I'm a pretty social doggo who likes the presence of other dogs. See me here at the shelter.
Cats – Unknown


PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I'm not too sure how I'll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.

TRAINING:


Leash skills – Work in progress.
House trained – Work in progress! Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :)


HEALTH NOTES:


I am spayed and vaccinated. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records.

NOTE: I had one retained testicle, but had it removed when I was neutered.


I receive a monthly pill to prevent heartworm.
NOTE: It is not uncommon for rescue dogs to require dental work/cleaning after they are adopted. West Coast Paws does not cover the costs of dental work and/or vet visits. These costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter.


ADOPTION FEE:


My adoption fee is $728.00 CAD ($650 + 7% PST and 5% GST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a muscular, agile dog known for its loyalty and affection towards its family. With a friendly and courageous nature, this breed makes an excellent companion and is great with children. Their distinctive physical features include a broad head, strong jaws, and a short coat that comes in various colors. Despite their tough appearance, Staffordshire Bull Terriers thrive on human interaction and require consistent training and socialization to develop into well rounded pets.
