Hiya! My name is TIMMY (in Mexico though, they call me Takechi after my rescuers favourite 70's show, Miss Comet). Here is some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
- Breed: Pug
- Age: Approx. 3 years old
- Gender: Male
- Weight: 20 lbs (9 kg)
- Height: 34 cm (paws to top of my head)
- Length: 49 cm (head to butt)
- Neck: 38 cm
- Chest: 55 cm
- Current Location: Mexico City
RESCUE STORY - I was sadly just dropped off at the shelter one day!! I was in good shape physically and emotionally for being left by my family. I loveeeeeeee to cuddle with hoomans I am familiar with and those I have just met! Big people guy, BUT I draw the line at kisses. Do not put that germy mouth near me I say! I have a favourite blanket that I bring with me everywhere I go. I will take it outside to the yard in the day, then back in at night. It's my safety blanky.
TEMPERAMENT - I am a pretty chill dude, totally pug energy! I like to rest and cuddle. The volunteers tell me I am a favourite because I am so well behaved when I get to go on walks! I don't engage when other dogs bark at me either, I just chill the heck out. Eat, sleep, walk, repeat makes Timmy a happy boy!
ENERGY LEVEL - Low - I enjoy getting outside on a walk, but I am truly a couch potato.
GETS ALONG WITH:
- Kids – Unknown. While I’m a pretty sweet boy, I haven’t had much exposure to kiddos at the shelter.
- Dogs – Yes, I'm good with other dogs!
- Cats – Unknown about how I would live with one, but I am tolerant of the ones that are around the shelter.
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 – I am a super star according to the volunteers! I may show some regression when I go to a new home, but I will re-learn quickly.
- 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 neutered, 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 ($750 + 5% GST and 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
