Hola amigos!! My name is Gus and you can find out more about me here:
PHYSICAL INFO:
- Breed: Staffordshire terrier mix
- Age: 8 months approx.
- Gender: Male
- Weight: 43lbs (20kg)
- Current Location: Baja Mexico
RESCUE STORY - My start to life was less than stellar! My previous family decided they didn't want me and my eight siblings anymore so they decided to leave us out in the middle of nowhere to fend for ourselves. As you can imagine, we were NOT doing so swell (we were just wee pups after all!) but thankfully some angels came and rescued us. Now that I've had some time to recover with the hoomans, I'm ready to find a furever family of my own in the PNW. I promise we'll be the best of friends, whaddya say?!
TEMPERAMENT - Mellow as a cucumber and full of chilled-out charm, I'm guaranteed to capture your heart! Despite having a ruff start to life, I love hoomans and live for any affection that is shown to me. I also love to show it back with tonnns of hugs and kisses. I'm really an easy-going and relaxed pup who enjoys the simple things in life - toys, hoomans, other doggos...In fact, I think you and I could really hit it off!
ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate
GETS ALONG WITH:
- Kids – Yes I get along fine with older children as you can see here (I have not been tested with younger children).
- Dogs – Yep!! I get along just fine with other dogs.
- Cats – I seem okay with cats but further testing can be requested.
PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.
TRAINING:
- Leash skills – These are a work in progress but I'm doing pretty good as you can see here! My adopter must be willing to provide me with some training and patience :)
- House trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.
- Crate trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.
- Car rides – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.
Please Note: WCP Dog Rescue partners with Unleashed Dog Training (Hannah Swain, Balanced Dog Trainer) to offer adopters 50% off one training session (not including tax and applicable gas surcharges). Any subsequent sessions will be offered at standard rates. WCP also highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.
HEALTH NOTES:
- I am neutered and vaccinated.
- NOTE: dogs from the Baja 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 $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.

WCP does not have in-person access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions, although we ask for video proof of a dog's attributes wherever possible. 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.
