Terrier and Greyhound Dogs Available for Adoption in Langley Township, British Columbia

Hola! My name is AL and here is some info about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:


Breed: Terrier / Greyhound Mix
Age: 1 year old
Gender: Male
Weight: 39 lbs (18 kgs)
Height: 51 cm (paws to shoulders)
Length: 60 cm (head to butt)
Current Location: Mexico City


RESCUE STORY – I was found by my rescuers in an area that has a high abandonment rate in the south of Mexico City. Luckily, I secured a spot at my pawsome foster home! I can't wait to begin my new life in Canada and free up room at my foster home so other dogs like me can be rescued from the streets and get a second chance at life!

TEMPERAMENT – I'm a tall, slender boy with a similar build to a Greyhound (which is super duper rare in Mexico!), and my wiry coat gives me a unique look! I'm a big goofball who loooves getting pets. I can be a bit shy at first, but with love, patience, and yummy treats, I warm up quickly. I am a sweet, gentle boy who gets along with humans of all ages (kiddos too!) and doggos of all sizes. I'm a pretty chill dude without crazy energy (although I do love my daily play and exercise). The perfect combo, if I do say so myself!

ENERGY LEVEL – Medium / Low. While I love playing and running around, I can also be a bit of a couch potato!

GETS ALONG WITH:


Kids – Yes! I am pretty content around kiddos and enjoy gentle pets, as you can see in this video!


NOTE: as with all dogs, I should be supervised around children and should have my space advocated for by adults.


Dogs – Yes! I live with other pups in my foster home and we get along very well. My best friend is a terrier mix named Snooki!
Cats – Unknown.


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. I am currently receiving leash training and making good progress! 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 :)


Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.

HEALTH NOTES:


I am microchipped, neutered, vaccinated, and de-wormed. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records.
I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying to Canada.
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 ($750.00 + 5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
