My name is SCOTTIE!

Hello hoomans!! My name is Scottie (Song Pyeon in Korea) and here is some info about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:

• Breed: Jindo/Terrier Mix


• Age: 6 months approx


• Gender: Male 


• Weight: 24 lbs (11.7 kg) 


• Height: 50 cm (paws to top of my head)


• Length: 55 cm (head to butt)


• Current Location: South Korea

RESCUE STORY - Like many of my friends, I was waiting for a family to come take me home from the Gimje City Shelter in Korea. With the shelter being overcrowded, it was especially difficult for a young pup like me to receive proper care and attention. To ensure that I wouldn’t spend the week-long Chuseok holidays alone, my rescuers quickly stepped in to rescue me and bring me to a better place! I am now doing well and excitedly waiting for a forever family to include me in their lives!

TEMPERAMENT - I am a gentle and incredibly affectionate boy who adores people and has a truly loving nature. I love showing my tummy as a sign of trust and will happily charm anyone I meet! When I want attention or playtime, I sweetly hug my guardian’s leg and cling close. I do get along with other dogs but I am still learning how to greet other dogs and understand play signals. But with gentle guidance and supervision, I am sure to quickly learn how to play with others and understand the 'rules of the game'! Although I enjoy playtime and interactions with people, I am also able to relax and settle down once my play needs are met. I would do well with a balanced routine that includes gentle activity, social time, and rest.

ENERGY LEVEL - Medium 

GETS ALONG WITH:

• Kids – Unknown. I haven't been around children before!


• Dogs – Yes! I get along and play with other pups very well!


• Cats – Unknown. 

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 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 :)


• NOTE: I sometimes nip as I am in the teething stage but I will only bite on toys if chew toys are given to me. I may nip hands a bit but with gentle guidance, I quickly understand correct my behaviour.

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

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 to Canada.


• 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.


• Note: I was missing a toenail on my left hind paw but I don't feel any pain or show any signs of discomfort 

ADOPTION FEE:

• My adoption fee is $840.00 CAD ($750.00 CAD + 5% GST and 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
