Hello out there! My name is Toto and here's some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
- Breed: Shih Tzu
- Age: 10 months
- Gender: Male
- Weight: 15lbs (7 kg)
- Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico
RESCUE STORY - I'm a good and loving boy whose owner unfortunately ran into some health issues and, as a result, could no longer provide me with the care that I needed. I'm now hoping that I will find a furever family who will love me as much as I will love them!
TEMPERAMENT - I'm an affectionate pup who will greet you with my trademarked enthusiastic wiggle when you come home before settling in for snuggles and playtime. I adore toys - the more the merrier! And I am very food-motivated (a trainer's dream pup!). One of my favourite things to do is to sleep in bed next to the hoomans at night and I loooove snuggles. I'm very good with other pups and am currently living in a foster home with many others. I would also do well in a home with respectful children. Although I do well with other dogs, my dream is to be placed in a family where I am the only one as I can get rather jealous over attention. I can also get a bit anxious when left alone. Due to this, I hope to find an understanding family that has the time and the patience to work with me on this :)
ENERGY LEVEL - Medium
GETS ALONG WITH:
- Kids – Yes! I have been tested with older kids and am good with them as you can see here.
- Dogs – I get along well with other pups and currently live with many other doggos at my foster's house as you can see here!
- Cats – Unknown but can be tested upon request.
PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.
TRAINING:
- Leash skills – My rescuers say I am pretty good with my leash skills as you can see here, however I may need some additional patience and training.
- House trained – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience.
- Crate trained – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience.
- Car rides – My rescuer says I am good with this but I 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: As a Shih Tzu, I will need regular grooming (about every 6-8 weeks) to keep me looking and feeling my best.
- NOTE: dogs from Guadalajara 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.
