My name is TOMAS!

Hiya! My name is TOMAS and here is some info about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:

• Breed: Chihuahua Dachshund mix


• Age: Approx. 4 years old


• Gender: Male


• Weight: 12.5 lbs (5.6 kg) 


• Height: 38 cm (paws to top of my head)


• Length: 52 cm (head to butt)


• Neck: 28 cm


• Chest: 45 cm


• Current Location: MEXICO CITY

RESCUE STORY - My rescue story is all too common! My “family” moved away and left me behind to fend for myself. Can you imagine?! A little cutie like me! I was abandoned in a well known dumping area near a prison facility in Mexico City. When my rescuers found me, I was dirty and a bit underweight (see photo on the steps), but otherwise perfectly healthy. I was placed in a temporary foster home before making my way to the shelter, where I’m awaiting my true forever family!

TEMPERAMENT & ENERGY LEVEL - Low - I’m a gentle guy who’s all about the low key life! My rescuer says I have a calm demeanor and a quiet presence. You can often find me soaking up the sun, I even have a favorite sunbathing spot (video)!

While I interact with doggos of all sizes at the shelter, I shy away from playing with large pups. I much prefer small dogs and absolutely adore puppies! Who doesn’t?! As you can see in my videos (here, here, here and here), I love to cuddle and often seek out human affection! I’m a sweet cuddle bug looking for all the loving, will that be with you?!

GETS ALONG WITH:

• Kids – Unknown. While I’m a gentle soul, not much is known about my experience around kiddos.


• Dogs –  Yes! I live with dogs of all sizes here at the shelter! Although, I do prefer smaller dogs and puppies!


• Cats – Unknown. My rescuer says that I am feline friendly, but we will need a cat test to be sure!

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! I’m pretty chill on a leash, and prefer a solo-stroll (video). 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 :)

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 $728.00 CAD including tax (5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
