My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello Pacific Northwest!! My name is RADAR and here is some info about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:

Breed: Shepherd/Heeler mix (best guess, really!)

Age: approx. 9 months

Gender: Male

Weight: 30 lbs (I will likely be ~40-45 lbs fully grown)

Current Location: TEXAS

RESCUE STORY - I was rescued from a euthanasia list at a local high-kill shelter in Texas. Due to no fault of my own, my life had a deadline because the shelter had too many dogs in their care. Thankfully, the amazing humans at County Roads Rescue swooped in and saved me! They can't believe I was due to be euthanized, they say I'm the sweetest boy and will be such an amazing pup for a Pacific Northwest fam!

TEMPERAMENT - I am described as superrrr sweet and incredibly smart. In general, I am calm and friendly, although I do show a hint of anxiety. In typical shepherd fashion, I am veryyyy smart and will likely thrive having a job to do (whether that be Obedience training, Agility, or being an official adventure doggo). My rescuers say I'm keen to learn and eager to please; I am treat motivated and really enjoy training... making me a highly trainable pooch! Check out my video of all my tricks-- not to mention my sweet demeanor and happy tailwags. I would love an active family who can take me on outdoor adventures, I'm sure I'd be a great adventure buddy!

ENERGY LEVEL - Medium - I can be energetic and playful at times (once I'm comfortable), but once my brain and body are sufficiently exercised, I'm a sweet, cuddly boy who enjoys affection and snuggles.

GETS ALONG WITH:

Kids – Yup! Video coming soon!
- as with ALL dogs, I should always be supervised around children and I need to have my space respected. It's important to remember I am a rescue pup with minimal training, so I may play nip or bounce/jump up on people (including children!)

Dogs – Yup! Check out my video.

Cats – Unknown.

PREY DRIVE - Low. I don't know how I'll react to squirrels/rabbits/cats etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, if they arise.

TRAINING:

Leash skills – I do pretty well on a slip leash but would love an adopter who is willing to continue working with me on my leash skills.

Crate trained - Yes! Growing up in a kennel/shelter environment, my kennel is my safe space. There may be an adjustment period when I go to my new home, but with proper use, the crate can be my safe space :)

House trained – I am house trained for the most part and know to do my business outside whenever I can. There may be an adjustment period when I go to my new home, but I'm sure with frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement in my new home, I'll catch on quickly!

Bonus - My rescuers say I learn tricks at a rapid rate and am very training motivated (endless possibilities of what I can learn!)

Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.

HEALTH NOTES:

I have been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

I have tested negative for heartworm after treatment.

I will be tested for distemper and parvo before travelling (although I've been vaccinated for both!)

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, including applicable taxes ($750.00 CAD + 5% GST and 7% PST), which includes my ground transport to Edmonds, Washington. My adopter needs to be willing to drive to Edmonds, Washington to pick me up! :)
