My name is SONNY!

Hola amigos! My name is Sonny (Sammy in Mexico!) and here's more about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:

• Breed: Terrier mix (best guess!)


• Age: approx 2 years


• Gender: Male


• Weight: 21lbs (9.5 kg) 


• Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico

RESCUE STORY - My story is one of quiet resilience. You see, me and my brother were left alone in our home when our 'owner' became ill and was hospitalized. During this scary time, we were completely left to fend on our own until we were finally rescued! Thanks to my angel rescuers, I was able to receive the full medical care I needed. Happily, my brother has already found his new family, but I am continuing to wait patiently for my chance at being chosen!

TEMPERAMENT - Understandably, I am still a bit fearful and need some time to trust and come out of my shell. When hoomans approach me too quickly I may run away or crouch down, This is because I am still learning that hoomans can be kind. Once I feel safe however, my true loving and gentle personality shines! I really love to play and socialize with other dogs, I am also very affectionate, and my rescuers say I have the cutest habit of jumping really high just to get some attention and some pets (it's my party trick!). I am truly a good-natured, sweet, and loving doggo, who would do well with a patient family willing to give me the time and reassurance I deserve and need to blossom into my bestest self. I would thrive in a calm, loving home that understands that trust is built gently and once earned, I will give you my WHOLE heart - I promise!

ENERGY LEVEL - Medium

GETS ALONG WITH:

• Kids – Unknown


• Dogs – I get along with other pups although I may be a bit reserved as you can see here


• Cats – Unknown

PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.

TRAINING:

• Leash skills – My rescuers say I am okay with my leash skills, however I may need some additional patience and training :)


• House trained – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience. 


• Crate trained – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience. 


• Car rides – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience. 

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

HEALTH NOTES: 

• I am neutered and vaccinated.


• 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.
