Hellooooo out there!! My name is Gizmo and here's my deets:
PHYSICAL INFO:
- Breed: Staffordshire terrier/Lab mix (just a guess!)
- Age: 1 year 2 months approx.
- Gender: Male
- Weight: 53lbs (24 kg)
- Current Location: Baja Mexico
RESCUE STORY - Like my super sweet sis, Gucci, I was found abandoned as a tiny pup with all my siblings! You can imagine that we were quite a sight for sore eyes at the time. Thankfully, some pretty nice hoomans took us in and cleaned us up and now I'm ready to find my furever home in the Pacific Northwest with you!! Whaddya say?!
TEMPERAMENT - The kind hoomans at the shelter say that I am quite the 'mellow fellow', even as a puppy! What an awesome trait to have. I'm also a very good boy on a leash and I looooove affection and giving hoomans hugs and kisses (my ruff beginnings didn't break my soul one bit!!). I would make the ultimate cuddle bud and would do well in a family that enjoys taking me for a stroll and then snuggling up on the couch (so basically, almost anyone!).
ENERGY LEVEL - Low/Moderate
GETS ALONG WITH:
- Kids – Unknown
- Dogs – Yep!! I get along just fine with other dogs.
- Cats – No thank you!
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 – These are a work in progress but I'm doing pretty good! My adopter must be willing to provide me with some training and patience :)
- House trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.
- Crate trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.
- Car rides – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.
Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.
HEALTH NOTES:
- I am neutered and vaccinated.
- NOTE: dogs from the Baja are not microchipped.
- 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.
