Story
Hellooo kind hoomans! My name is FINN and here is some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
Breed: Lab/White Shepherd Mix
Age: 2 Years
Gender: Male
Weight: 55 lbs (25 kg)
Height: 22.8 inches (paws to shoulders) - I'm 26 inches tall from paws to my head
Current Location: MEXICO CITY
RESCUE STORY - I really wanted to be rescued, so I started following a group of tourists on a city-hiking trip in Mexico City. While the group was walking alongside the oldest canal in the city, I made a point of following them, trying to catch the attention of each tourist. I disregarded the guides’ attempt to make me go away and as the tour was approached the end, one of the tourists got in touch with a local shelter to rescue me! My determination and charm paid off! The tour guides offered to use their own car to transport me to the shelter and I could not have been happier during the car trip (I kept leaning towards the hoomans for cuddles, hehe). I must have wandered the street for months because I was very skinny and my harness was basically stuck to me when I was rescued. Luckily, I have received tip top care and have been nursed back to a healthier weight and am all ready for my furever home in Canada (with you, hopefully!)
TEMPERAMENT - I am a young, energetic, and playful boy. I love to be taken out for walks and I'm friendly with people at first sight (video). I am playful with other dogs (check out my videos) and I'm a respecftul roommate, having shared a space with dogs of all sizes. I am super smart and will learn new things quickly. I will love your forever if you scratch my head... ahhh I love them scritches!! I am good with kids (check out the video of me with a small hooman) and I'm just the friendliest guy around!
Fun fact about me, don’t leave tortillas unattended or I will steal them, hehe!
ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate - Like most young dogs, I play hard but I crash hard too. Once I've had sufficient daily exercise, I am a pretty chill guy who is eager for affection and love. I am made for adventuring and I'm sure I would LOVE an active family who takes me on lots of walkies and hikes.
GETS ALONG WITH:
Kids – Yup! I am a gentle, albeit sometimes exuberant, boy. I don't have an aggressive bone in my body, however any home with children needs to be aware that a small kiddo could accidentally get knocked over by a young, happy boy like me.
Dogs – I'm super good with other doggies! Here is a video of me with small dogs and a video of me with my pal BRIAN (also available for adoption!). I'm sure I'd love the dog park for some good wrestle sessions with fellow furry friends. Here is another video of me having a play session with my shelter siblings.
Cats – Unknkown. I haven't been cat tested.
PREY DRIVE - I am fine with small dogs however I haven't been tested with cats. I have no prey drive around birds though! 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 – Pretty darn good! I have been working hard on my leash skills and I'm such a good boy now; I don't even pull much!
House trained – Work in progress! Please be patient with me and help me continue to learn in my forever home. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn :) I'm one smart cookie so I'm sure I'll learn real quick!
Guess what, I even know how to Shake-a-Paw! Check out this video.
Please Note: WCP Dog Rescue partners with Unleashed Dog Training (Hannah Swain) to offer adopters one training session at a rate of $25. Any subsequent sessions will be offered at a rate of $50. WCP also highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.
HEALTH NOTES:
Apart from being underweight when rescued, no other health issues were found by the vet. I have gained some weight since being rescued and am in tip-top shape now!
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.
ADOPTION FEE:
My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes, which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
