My name is SIMONA!

Hello there! My name is SIMONA and here is some info about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:

• Breed: Shepherd mix


• Age: Approx. 9-months


• Gender: Female


• Weight: 60 lbs (26.8 kg) 


• Height: 68 cm (paws to top of my head)


• Length: 85 cm (head to butt)


• Necky: 40 cm

Keep in mind I am just a puppy, and am still a growing girl! Hehe!

RESCUE STORY - My siblings and I were born on the streets of Huehuetoca, near Mexico City. We were discovered living in a vacant lot by kind guards who reached out to our (now) shelter for help. My family and I were in need of some TLC when we were rescued. I was dehydrated and had parasites, yikes! Despite these circumstances, I was still described as a cheerful, happy puppy! We all received the medical are we needed, and I’m now perfectly healthy and ready for my forever home!

TEMPERAMENT - My rescuers describe me as a happy-go-lucky, playful gal! I am very friendly and love saying hello to new people. I adore attention and will gladly receive ALLLL of the belly rubs you have to give! 

I live with lots of pups here at the shelter and don’t show signs of jealousy. I also eat in a communal space and, while I am very food motivated, I don’t show any signs of resource guarding. Fun fact, tortillas are my favorite snack!

ENERGY LEVEL - High - I am a puppy with all the puppy energy! I play well with dogs big and small, but I’m not too rough! I enjoy going for walks, playing at the dog park, and getting in lots of zoomies! I would do great with a forever family who enjoys an active lifestyle, could that be with you?!

GETS ALONG WITH:

• Kids – Yes! Here’s a video of me getting pets from kiddos!


• Dogs –  You betcha! I have lots of doggie pals here at the shelter!


• Cats – Unknown. I don’t have any known experience around kitties just yet.

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 – Work in progress, I’m learning! I can get a bit excited at first, but settle into a rhythm once I calm down (video). I will need an adopter who is happy to work with me on my leash manners. 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 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.
