Hiya! My name is ELSA (and yes, my sister is Anna and yes, we are princesses). We are a BONDED PAIR and MUST go to a home together! Here is some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
- Breed: Lab Retriever mix (but really, we don't know what I am. A classic "mexi-mutt" I'd say!)
- Age: Approx. 6 months old
- Gender: Female
- Weight: 34 lbs (15 kg, but I will still grow a little!)
- Height: 60 cm (paws to top of my head)
- Length: 86 cm (head to butt)
- Neck: 37 cm
- Chest: 60 cm
- Current Location: Mexico City
RESCUE STORY - I was found in the middle of the road with my sister, Anna. Our rescuer was on the way to work when she spotted us! We were only about a month old, so she took us with her to get us the help we needed! Since then, we have gone to work with our rescuer everyday. We love to play together (seriously, we love it!) so we need to be in a home together. We also get to go on these things they call "road trips". How cool is that! We love the car! We even get to go to restaurants down here in Mexico with our rescuer, so we get a lot of socialization. She is a super star and we are going to miss her so very much, but we know it means we are going to have an amazing life in the Pacific Northwest.
TEMPERAMENT - I'm told I am more friendly and outgoing when it comes to meeting new people than my sister, Anna! I like to help show her that not everyone is a meanie :) But, when we're alone, I am more calm than she is. She gets much more energetic when it's just the two of us! Little sisters, you know how it is. I love human company, too. When our rescuer takes us out, I love to be pet. I am also very athletic! I love to jump and play, and I have done some training. I would love to do an agility class to see if I am any good at it!
ENERGY LEVEL - High - I am a very energetic pup! I will need lots of mental and physical stimulation. I get a lot of that with my sister, but it would be so nice if our future family liked to adventure and go outdoors! We get to go to the doggy park almost every day right now and I love it.
GETS ALONG WITH:
- Kids – Unknown in a home, yes on the streets. I've interacted with lots of kids when we're out and about, but I've never had one in the same house as me!
- Dogs – Yes, I love other dogs!
- Cats – Unknown in a home, yes on the streets. I've interacted with cats when we're out and about, but I've never had one in the same house as me!
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 since I am a pup, but I'd say I am doing pretty good so far!
- House trained – Work in progress, but still pretty dang good! 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 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 $784.00 CAD including tax ($700 + 5% GST and 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
