NAYA - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Langley Township, British Columbia

Hiya! My name is NAYA and here is some info about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:

Gender: Female
Weight: 20 lbs (9.2 kg)
Height: 52 cm (paws to top of my head)
Length: 62 cm (head to butt)

Current Location: MEXICO CITY


RESCUE STORY - I was rescued from a ravine in Mexico City in February of this year. Very scary for a young pup like me, I was only around 8 months old! Not much is known about my early days, but when I was rescued I was in pretty sad shape. I was malnourished, thin, and covered in fleas! Thankfully, I was transported to the shelter where I was given the attention needed to recover and grow - now I'm a healthy gal ready for my forever home!

TEMPERAMENT - As you can see in my videos, I'm a little shy and hesitant at first. Once I'm given time and space to warm up, I'm happy around familiar and new people - and my fellow doggies too! I live and play with dogs of all sizes here at the shelter, and do not show signs of resource guarding around my belongings.

ENERGY LEVEL - Medium - My rescuer describes me as affectionate and playful. I also enjoy a good routine! With consistentcy, I'm a good rule follower! I head off to sleep around 8pm and wait to be taken outside to go potty. Another fun fact about me, I love snacks of fruits and carrots! I'm a sweet girl ready for all of the love and attention (and snacks!) I deserve - will that home be with you?!

GETS ALONG WITH:


Kids – I am calm around children, but similar to meeting new people, I can be a bit anxious. Here is a video of me interacting with a kiddo.


Same with all dogs, I need to have an adult advocate for my space and make sure I'm supervised around children.


Dogs – Yes, I live with dogs of all sizes here at the shelter. I am a bit shy around new dogs and will need time and space to warm up. Here is a video of me meeting new pups.
Cats – Unknown - I don't have any known experience around cats.


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

TRAINING:


Leash skills – Work in progress. Check out videos of me walking on a leash here and here. I will need an adopter who is happy to work with me on my leash manners. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success!
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, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records.
I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying North.
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 $840.00 CAD including tax (5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.

The info included in each WCP bio is provided to us from the international rescuer. WCP does not have in-person access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions, although we ask for video proof of a dog's attributes wherever possible. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person(s) adopting them and the environment in which they live.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

WCP is a not-for-profit dog rescue organization. Our mission is to find safe and nurturing homes for dogs in need...
