Hello, my name is Capri (Junior) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Chihuahua MixAge: 4 years oldGender: Male, neuterdWeight: 13 lbsHeight: 15 in Capri was rescued from a high kill shelter near LA. He was running out of time when he got rescued. His foster mom can't stop saying wonderful thing about him. If you are looking for a "good boy", Capri is the one for you! He is fully house trained but might need some help in a new home. He is about 4 years old and won't get bigger. He enjoys playing with other dogs, his energy level is moderate. He isn't a hyper dog but will keep up with you on hikes! He is a little shy meeting new people but with some time he comes around. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body and is a very submissive dog. He isn't a vocal dog and live in a condo. We did the dental cleaning and some extractions, he is missing a few of his front teeth but he is eating with no issues. The vet thinks because he had a bad diet on the streets his teeth weren't great for his age.  Capri is cute, charming and easy going. He gets along well with people, other dogs and even cats. He has no reaction towards cats and been around many of them. Capri likes the company of other dogs so another dog in the household would be great, he seems to open up much quicker in a home with another dog. Seems like other dogs give him more confidence. He is more shy around men and prefers women but with some TIME and LOVE he opens up to men too. He is currently in a loving foster home in Vancouver. He has been through a lot in the past 4 years and deserves a loving family and a happy ending. Capri wants nothing more than find his forever home before the holidays, Please adopt him!  Energy Level: Moderate I get along with:Dogs: YesCats: YesKids: Yes no video Prey drive: unknown/not observed.

LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems. Basic training should be taken seriously but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or  Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs.

The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if the dog is shown to be good with children we will approve homes with children 8 years or older.

Sofia is a gem of a girl – she is approximately 3 and a half years old, 17 lb mix of sugar and spice and everything nice. She is lower energy, and a bit reserved. She doesn’t run up to strangers, she’ll stand back to assess, and then is very friendly. Sofia is good with dogs and cats. She’s a quiet influence at the shelter and not a barker. Sofia was dumped near the SPCA PV sanctuary with her bestie Lucia, and wouldn’t they make an amazing duo? We’d love to adopt them together, but we can’t hold them back from finding a home that loves them if that’s not possible. While at the shelter we can’t confirm if she’s house trained, but it seems she once had a home, so we think its likely that she is. Sofia is healthy, spayed and vaccinated. Sofia is currently at the SPCA PV sanctuary in Mexico, and will be able to fly to Vancouver, Calgary or Edmonton (possibly also Vancouver island). If you think you might be the lucky home for her, write us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com and tell us a little about yourself, or go direct to our application: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw

Well hi there! My name is NICO and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Chihuahua Mix  Age: 2.5 years (approx.) Gender: Male Weight: 9 lbs (4.1 kg)  Height: 26 cm (floor to shoulders) Length: 51 cm (head to butt) Chest: 39 cm Neck: 27 cm Original Rescue Location: MEXICO CITY Current Location: PORT COQUITLAM RESCUE STORY - I was found abandoned outside a house in Los Dinamos, a mountain with a cold climate in Mexico City. I was left in a little box, shaking with fear. I was terrified and didn't trust humans at all. Luckily, a kind soul found me and took me to the local shelter. I was taken to the vet and I got all the medical attention I needed. I spent about 6 months at the shelter before I found a home in Canada. I flew to Vancouver on April 15, 2024 and have lived in Port Coquitlam ever since then. Unfortunately, the work schedule at my current home has changed and they aren't able to spend enough time with me. As a result, I'm on the hunt for my forever home again!  Here are some videos of me while I was in Mexico (getting pets, walking on leash, with other dogs) TEMPERAMENT - I am a quirky boy, I won't lie! I'm looking for someone who loves all things chihuahua, as I exhibit a lot of the standard "chi" behaviours. What people love about me:  I have quite a lovely side! I can be very affectionate when I trust you.  I am very playful and LOVE chasing and fetching a ball. I love toys! I like to be right next to my person and love cuddles with them. I love belly scratches and enjoy having my ears rubbed. If I am comfortable with a person, I give lots of kisses.  I am house trained! In the right environment, I get along with other dogs. I have met 5 of my adopter's family dogs and we got along fine (but we always played outside my home). I need proper introductions if I'm going to make doggy friends. I am food motivated (I love duck or chicken jerky the best!) Areas where I struggle: I bond fast and furious and once I've bonded with my human, I can become quite territorial and protective of them. I can be nippy and growly if people approach my human without proper introductions first. I have bitten people who get too close to my human when I am guarding them. I am far more reactive if I'm sitting on my human's lap, so this should be avoided. I do exhibit pretty clear stress signals when I need space- I will growl or show my teeth (here is a video). It is best if new people just ignore me and let me approach when I'm comfortable. Throwing food for me sometimes helps win me over! This is a video of me guarding my crate in Mexico. I exhibit similar behaviours when I'm guarding my human in Canada.  I am reactive towards other dogs when on leash. I will need an adopter willing to work with me on this. MY IDEAL HOME WOULD HAVE: Less than 6 hours of alone-time daily.  Lots of boundaries and structure. More freedom can be earned with time, but right away I should not be allowed on people's laps or allowed to sleep in the bed, as these privileges can contribute to guarding behaviours.  Adopter(s) who have experience working with reactive dogs and who are willing to work through my guarding behaviours and leash reactivity.  Training will more than likely be required, so I'm looking for adopters who are willing to invest in this. I promise it will pay off! No other dogs. I could potentially live with a canine sibling, however I would need lots of time to get used to them.  Lots of patience and love :) ENERGY LEVEL - Low/medium - I am a pretty chill boy! I have bouts of playfullness and I enjoy walkies, but then I'm more than happy to cuddle up and snooze. I am just looking to spend the rest of my life hanging out with a really nice person who wants a cuddle buddy. GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown. I haven’t had much experience around kiddos. With my guarding tendencies, I think I should go to a home without children. Dogs –  Yes, with the proper introductions! I got along well with my fellow pups at the shelter in Mexico and I have gotten along fine with the 5 family dogs I've met. I do better on neutral territory and need slow, proper introductions in order to be successful. I am reactive towards other dogs on leash.  Cats – No thank you! PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/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. It is highly unlikely I was ever walked on a leash before my rescue, so I had a lot to learn! I can be leash reactive towards dogs and people who approach my human, so I'm looking for a confident human to show me how this whole walking thing is done! When there are no other dogs around, I am OK on leash (video). I'd do better with more structure (a slip leash would be ideal!) and less leash freedom. House trained –  Yup! I might have some accidents when I first go to a new home and learn my surroundings, but I am confident I can figure it out quickly with frequent potty breaks and lots of positive reinforcement. Car rides - I am a passenger prince in the car (video). I will bark if you roll down the windows though! Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before taking their dog home. Nico would likely benefit greatly from diligent training with a professional dog trainer- something we're hoping potential adopter(s) would be happy to invest in! HEALTH NOTES: I am neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I have proof of all my vaccines and test records. I was tested for Heartworm 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. If required, these costs are the financial responsibility of the adopter. ADOPTION FEE: My adoption fee is $840.00 ($750.00 CAD + GST and PST). ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and its adoption process. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person(s) adopting them and the environment in which they live.  WCP is unable to guarantee the accuracy of a dogs age and/or breed. These are strictly "best guesses" based on veterinary exams and their educated estimates. ##1987731##

🎶 Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man 🎶 Truer words have never been spoken, especially when it comes to Jose! This sweet 8-9 year old Chihuahua is not only the best dressed in town, he's also the best cuddler. And at only 3lbs, Jose can squeeze in real close to his favourite people. 😍 Jose does well with other dogs but appreciates slow introductions at first. He's not crazy about deer coming into his yard and will let you know with a few barks. He hasn't been tested with kids or cats so slow introductions would be best. Jose loves going for walks and does great on leash. He likes his crate and you'll often see him going in and out throughout the day, enjoying a cozy nap session. 😴 Jose is fully potty trained and will let you know when he needs out. Jose isn't fond of being picked up and he'll voice his displeasure in the form of little squeaks and squirms. But don't worry, cuddling is still tops for this boy. He will come to you and get in real close for snuggles as often as you'll let him. ☺️ Not big on active play, Jose enjoys two short walks per day....just don't forget his warm sweater. 😉 Jose loves his little donut bed and you'll often find him curled up, taking on adorable donut-like qualities himself. Jose is ready to be by your side everyday, whether you're cruising in the car, visiting local shops or just enjoying some quiet time. If you're looking to add a sharp dressed man into your home, Jose is the one! 💙
