Story
Meet Snowflake, a dog whose energy is more like a blizzard than a soft, gentle snowflake! Snowflake is a high-energy pup with a heart full of potential, and he's ready to put his energy to good use. He's currently on a training plan to help him become the best boy he can be. With positive reinforcement, he's learning to keep his paws on the ground and improve his basic manners. He does have a mischievous side and loves to play with and even chew any soft toy, leashes etc. He loves them so much they may even end up becoming his next snack! He will need durable chew toys and a watchful eye to keep him safe. He's still got some work to do, but he's eager to learn and is making great progress! and he LOVES treats!Snowflake thrives on a consistent routine and needs his brain kept busy to prevent him from acting out like a playful toddler. Mental stimulation, enrichment and structure are key to helping him stay happy and well-behaved. He'll do best in an adult-only home with no other pets, where he can receive the focused attention and consistency he needs to thrive.Snowflake's playful spirit and eagerness to please will melt your heart, and with the right guidance, he's sure to be the loyal, loving companion you've been looking for!

Story
**Currently fostered in Houston Texas but is available for out of state adoption via rescue transportation. Virtual meet and greet offered prior to adoption commitment** Kyra is a happy go lucky pup who found herself abandoned on the streets. She was emaciated, had poor skin and just full of worms. Thankfully an amazing woman found her and took her in. She got her clean, well fed, and fully vetted. Now, Kyra is ready to start the next chapter in her adventure! Kyra is just over 2 years old, and is a total hambone of a dog. We believe she is some kind of pitbull, retriever, hound mix. Basically what we call, a Texas Street Special! Whatever her breed, she is all adventure pup and very eager for life. Kyra loves people, I don't think she could ever meet a stranger. She's extremely loving, and enjoys cuddles on the couch, giving kisses, and looking cute for treats! We think she would even do wonderfully with children. Kyra has done wonderful with other dogs as well. She is fantastic at her doggie daycare, does well at dog parks, and loves to play. She doesn't mind the cats, She does chase them at times when she just wants to play. Kyra is not an aggressive dog, but she can lack the meaning of personal space and some of the cats we've introduced her to have not taken kindly to that. We think she could do well in just about any home, however, she would prefer to have regular play mates that can keep up with her be it siblings or play mates from friends, neighbors or daycare environment. She just wants to enjoy life with someone! Kyra does very well with training, mostly due to the fact that she's so smart. She learns quickly, and at times, can be TOO smart. Like how she knows how to push the door open if it's not latched properly. She knows her basics such as sit, kennel, stay. Her only need for training is working on her impulse control. She is fully crate trained, and is doing fantastic with her leash training. She is housebroken, but being such a big pup still, we suggest using a kennel until fully acclimated. Though she quite enjoys cuddling in the bed or couch. Kyra is fully vetted, meaning she is current on all vaccinations and preventions. She is spayed as well as microchipped too. For more information on how to adopt Kyra, contact us at MokasMission@Gmail.com.

Story
Hi my name is Bronx and I am a handsome but pretty shy guy. I need some time to warm up to people and to trust that you won't hurt me. i have had a hard past and wasn't treated so well so I'm pretty scared of most people right now. I would never hurt anyone but I will definitely run away if you come on too strong. I have made a couple of human friends in these nice girls that work at the shelter and have shown them how sweet and gentle I am now that I know they won't hit me. It may take me some to warm up to you but I promise to be a good boy if you treat me with kindness. I'm sorry, I think I am too scared to be around children but maybe older teenagers would be ok. I do love other dogs though and enjoy playing with my many doggie friends here at the shelter. I don't want to fetch or chase anything, the girls say I have low prey drive, whatever that is. I might even be ok with cats but they don't have any here for me to visit with so I can't say for sure. What I need is to get out of the shelter and into a home where I can feel safe and be petted and loved and lay in a nice dog bed. I walk very nicely on a leash and I don't react to anything. But I don't want strangers trying to pet me, it's a scary thing for me and it makes me want to retreat. Can you be my forever home? I need someone that can promise to keep me safe. I am neutered and am up to date on my shots. I was recently in a foster home for several weeks and am housebroken and very respectful in the home. I am not ok to live in a busy environment or an apartment complex. It is too loud and I am scared of the noises. I would love a quiet, detached, adult only home with another dog to keep me company and to help me overcome my worries. At City of Vancouver Animal Services, we have a foster-to-adopt program whereby prospective new owners foster the adoptable animal for 21 days before committing to adoption. This ensures that both the new owner and the adoptable animal are well suited to each other. Adoption Fee $374 Includes: -Spay/Neuter -First set of shots -One vet visit -Microchip -Bag of food If you live in Vancouver, you will also need to buy a dog license.

Hiya! My name is LUCKY and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed:  Pittie / Shar Pei (??) mix Age:  2 years old (approx.) Gender:  Female Weight:  63.8 lbs (29 kg)  Height:  65 cm (paws to top of my head) Length:  83 cm (head to butt) Neck:  45 cm Chest:  74 cm Current Location: MEXICO CITY RESCUE STORY - I was found at the Mexico City Airport when the rescue team was there sending another pup to Canada. I was wandering in and out of the airport when my rescuers saw me. They put a crate on the floor for me and I walked right inside! It is believed that I once had a home because I already know how to walk on leash. I have been living at the shelter since August 2024 and am so ready to find my forever home!  TEMPERAMENT - I am a super sweet, loving, and playful girl. You can see from my photos that I love affection - look at the pure joy and happiness in my eyes! I enjoy playing ball and loveee toys (everything from stuffies to bones). I love to go on long walks with the volunteers at the shelter. After my walks, I like to nudge or "knock" at the door to come back inside and eat some food. I am playful and affectionate, even with strangers. I love to get pets and belly rubs (video)! I am friendly with other dogs at the shelter (my BFF is a male shnauzer mix named Stefano)-- we sleep in a kennel together at night. PS. I love carrots!! ENERGY LEVEL - Medium to High - I enjoy play time and lots of walkies with my trusted hoomans! Exercise is a must for me!  GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown. I haven’t had much exposure to kiddos so far at the shelter.  Dogs –  Yes! I have lots of pals at the shelter, and enjoy walking and the dog park with my fellow doggos!  Cats – No thank you!  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 – Good/Fair. I love any chance to go on a walk! Although I follow basic commands, it's important to remember that I am a BIG, strong girl! So I need a confident owner who is capable of walking a strong doggo. My skills will need some polishing up when I am adopted. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success! 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: When I was rescued, I had very low bodyweight and was malnourished. I also had a case of Mange (skin condition). I received proper vet care and have fully recovered! I originally ate ROyal Canin food to help me gain weight, but now I have transitioned over to the shelter regular diet (which also includes daily veggies!) 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 $840.00 CAD including tax (5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and its adoption process.
