Basenji puppies and dogs in Ladysmith, British Columbia

Hello world!! My name is GORDITA and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Basenji/Terrier mix (best guess, really!) Age: approx. 1 year Gender: Female Weight: 40 lbs  Current Location: TEXAS RESCUE STORY - I am part of the "Taco Bell" litter who came to the County Roads Rescue facility at just two week sold. We were rescued along with our mama dog from a drug dealer who was hoarding dogs. While most of my siblings have been adopted, three of us are still awaiting our chance at forever homes. My rescuers are very surprised because they say we are all so amazing!  TEMPERAMENT - I am a sweet and friendly girl! I can be submissive and a little shy upon first introductions, but with time I become more playful and bouncy. I have grown up at the rescue facility, although I did have the opportunity to go live in a foster home for a little bit. They said I was very well mannered and oh so sweet! My rescuers say I'm also a really intelligent gal who is keen to learn and eager to please (highly trainable!). 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 cuddly pup who enjoys affection and snuggles. Truly I'm the perfect combo of adventure companion and couch cuddler. 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 with my brother Nacho! Cats – Yup! Check out my video. PREY DRIVE - Low. I have not shown prey drive with small dogs or cats. I don't know how I'll react to squirrels/rabbits 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! Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.  HEALTH NOTES: I have been spayed, 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! :)  ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and it's adoption process.

Meet Bayer – Resilient, Loving, and Ready for His Forever Home! 🐾 Bayer was rescued at 7 weeks of age, wagging his butt and tail into our lives! He is a Formosan Mountain Dog cross - a land race breed that is essentially a cat in a dog's body! Bayer’s journey began in a remote area where the rescuer tried to trap and spay Bayer's mother, who had already given birth and hid her puppies in a den. Bayer was found alone in one of the dirt burrows, just over a month old, alone and vulnerable. ✨ About Bayer: ✔ Male | Approximately 2 years old ✔ Neutered, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and health checked ✔ Good with dogs and cats ✔ Can be good with children if good boundaries are established between the child and Bayer. ✔ Affectionate, playful, and confident once he trusts you ✔ Loves cuddling with dogs he likes—expect lots of kisses! ✔ Has a strong personality. Consent to touch is a must. ✔ Alert barks when new people enter; needs slow, respectful introductions, especially with men 🏡 Ideal Home: Bayer is looking for a patient, village dog-savvy family who is willing to have a connection and collaboration-based relationship rather than the traditional dog ownership concept. Better yet, a wacky sense of humour! Experience or thorough understanding of village dogs and land-race breeds is a MUST. 📝 Interested? 1️⃣ Browse our adoptable dogs at https://coogo.ca/category/dogs/ 2️⃣ Submit an adoption application https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfzwhLij4-G6OXApjck-0FAb6tkOb45nb__PGL_2gGuvHS-sg/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.1335407197=Bayer 3️⃣ We’ll reach out to arrange a meet & greet! 📧 Contact us at adopt@coogo.ca Let’s find Bayer a home as special as he is! 💛 #AdoptBayer #CooGoRescue #TaiwanRescueDog #AdoptDontShop #RescueDogLove

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Hyunmi💕 (It means brown rice in Korean) 💙 Update Account: @adogs_hyunme 1⃣ Health Status • Neutered: Yes • Others:  • Microchipped  • Heartworm negative 2⃣ Rescue Story Hyunmi was rescued from the Gimje shelter where he had been staying with his sibling #ADogsGiri. Since they were still very young and the shelter environment posed a high risk of infectious disease, they were both rescued before spending their entire puppyhood there. 3⃣ Personality & Behavior • With People: Hyunmi likes people but is a bit shy around strangers at first. He may bark when approached, but calms down when corrected. With familiar people, he loves to follow them around and cuddle—he wags his tail, relaxes in their lap, and even shows his belly for pets! • With Dogs: He’s timid around unfamiliar dogs, but he plays joyfully and wrestles with familiar ones, especially his current foster sibling. He’s been showing increasing dependence on his foster sibling, so it’s being closely monitored. • With Cats: Shows little to no interest, even when encountering them directly. • Separation Anxiety: He does well alone and also enjoys playing when accompanied by other dogs. If left with an unfamiliar person, he may be shy but warms up with treats and relaxes. • Potty Training: Mostly prefers outdoor potty. When indoors, he tends to use the bathroom area over pee pads. • Grooming & Handling: He tries to run away before baths but stays still once it begins. He vocalizes during nail trimming to express discomfort, but it’s manageable. • Walking & Leash Training: He avoids being leashed at first, but once the leash is on, he walks just fine. If someone other than his foster tries to leash him, he gets scared. When startled by cars or motorcycles during walks, he freezes and needs to be carried to a calmer area before resuming. • Car Rides: Has done well on short trips and usually rests calmly. 4⃣ Special Notes • Knows “Sit,” “Lie down,” “Wait,” and “Turn”! • He’s sensitive and can yelp when startled or when rough play gets overwhelming. Loud, sudden sounds tend to scare him. • He’s more comfortable eating when others aren’t around—currently fed separately to help him feel secure.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to YVR💟 Meet White🧡 1. Health Status • Neutered: Yes. • Others: Microchipped. 2. Rescue Story * White spent time in Juksan dog meat farm, where he witnessed his fellow dogs being slaughtered right before his eyes. He lived in constant fear, but when Adogs shut down the farm, he was finally given a second chance at life. 3. Personality and Behavior • With People: Is a bit shy at first, but with time, begins to follow people around curiously. Accepts treats from hands and sniffs familiar people. Is not yet fully comfortable with being touched and tends to be nervous while hands are approaching. Accepts petting nicely once it starts. • With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs and does not cause issues. Is not particularly interested in approaching new dogs first. Seems to prefer smaller-sized dogs and plays well with familiar companions. • Separation Anxiety: Since he is currently living in a group setting at the center, it is unclear how he will react to being alone in a home environment. • Potty Training: Is accustomed to outdoor potty habits at the center. • Walking & Leash Training: Enjoys going for walks. Has much curiosity and tends to be persistent and show his feelings when he want to go in a certain direction. Rarely pulls on the leash. • Car Rides: Experiences mild motion sickness, often drooling slightly and shifting around during travel.

**He is currently in Seattle** Mukgoo is about 5 years old. He was found near an army base in Korea and immigrated to America around the age of 1 on President’s Day of 2020. He is an incredibly smart and lovable dog. He is kind and loves people (loves dogs and people). He will eat almost anything (except veggies). He can be a jumper when he gets very excited. He prefers households with another dog and a big yard to run around in but it’s not a non-negotiable. He has always adjusted well to whatever the circumstance. Overall, he’s a good dog and he’s got a lot of love to give. I’m having to give him up due to being unable to raise him in my current life stage. In no way, this is due to any bad behaviors or anything. He’s a really kind-hearted and sweet dog. Likes - He loves playing fetch (quickest way to his heart), rolling in the grass, puppycinos, ice cream, snow, people, dogs - Historically has liked lamb, fish skin, salmon, bully sticks, dental sticks, sweet potato, etc. In general, he loves to eat~ - Very social and prefers to greet other dogs and people, including dog parks, doggy day cares Dislikes - He dislikes bath but who does - He doesn’t like being alone but can manage a few hours if needed - No longer is a fan of veggies - Fireworks and big noises Things to Watch out for - Throwing up: If you let him freely eat grass, he’ll throw up. When he feels stressed, he can react by throwing up. - He can be independent when he is fixated on things. Just be patient with him and he will come back to focus on you. He is a people pleaser. - He rarely barks. He may bark when other dogs bark but even that is rare. He is more of a whiner. If he needs to let you know something, he will whine. - Not a counter surfer but can be if you let him Commands He knows his basic commands (sit, down, hand, etc.) and is open to learning new ones as well. Potty He is used to peeing and pooing outside. Once you create a regular spot and time for him, it’s clockwork. Otherwise, just be aware when he whines that it may be time to go. - At a high level, he knows “go potty” and “go poo” as a sign to go to the bathroom - He will rarely go pee or poo inside the home. Once in a million tries, a thing like that can happen during the night but he’s really sorry when he does. Leash He has never been fully off-leash, only in areas that condone it (home, backyard, dog park, etc.). He is not one to go off-leash and run away. He’ll run around and try to have you play with him. Keep him on a short leash if you need to focus on walking as he can veer away due to his interest in sniffing. Once on a short leash, he’ll understand and walk along. However, give him time to sniff as he is very curious with smells. Sleep He can sleep together or on his own if you’re in a different room or floor. He is also loves to cuddle up as well. When there’s fireworks, it’s recommended you sleep where he sees you because he’s afraid of the loud sounds. Food He is on one meal a day. If you give him two meals a day, he may not eat the first meal. Snacks though he loves. He knows how to sit and wait for food. He is currently on Costco’s salmon and sweet potato meal. * With People: Is a sociable dog who likes people so much. Loves greeting and being petted so much, wagging his tail. * With Dogs: Gets along very well with any dog. Has good social skills with dogs, so he becomes popular when playing with canine friends at the dog park. * Separation Anxiety: Sometimes barks along only when other dogs bark, but the exact details are not known yet. May need training to adapt again when the environment changes. * Potty Training: Prefers pottying outdoors rather than indoors. * Hygiene: Is a little afraid of water. Accepts baths nicely when being handled carefully. * Walks: Is an excellent walker and matches his pace with his handler. Loves going for walks and enjoys smelling while walking. 💌Special Notes💌 * Is so smart that he has mastered "sit down," "wait," and "paw." * Has a bright personality and runs when he's excited and expresses a lot of affection. * Is a bit scared of sudden loud noises.
