Story
Hello out there!! My name is BISHOP and here is some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
Breed: Pyrenees/Lab mix (best guess, really!)
Age: approx. 2-3 years
Gender: Male
Weight: 55 lbs
Current Location: TEXAS
RESCUE STORY - Not much is known about my life before rescue, but somehow I ended up on the euthanasia list at a local shelter here in Texas. My days there were numbered, as they needed to make room for more dogs. Luckily, someone contacted County Roads Rescue, and the rest is history! They pulled me from the shelter and are oh so glad they did because I am the sweetest, silliest boy who is super deserving of a lovign home.
TEMPERAMENT - I am described as very loving, friendly, and playful boy. My favourite activity is the zoomies, hehe. In general, I have quite good manners (with the exception of the occasional counter surfing... sorry not sorry). I am a social butterfly and see everyone as a friend (cats, dogs, humans of all ages... you name it, I love it!) I am an active boy who will thrive in an home where we go on lots of adventures, walkies, hikes, etc.
ENERGY LEVEL - Medium/High - I am still quite a young at heart lad who can be energetic and playful. Once my brain and body are sufficiently exercised, I'm a sweet boy who enjoys affection and snuggles.
GETS ALONG WITH:
Kids – Yup! Here is a video of me meeting some kiddos, I'm just the happiest, sweetest boy!
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, I am the ultimate playmate! I absolutely LOVE to play and zoom with other dogs who match my energy.
Cats – Yes, I don't show much interest (video) and could probably live with a dog-savvy cat.
PREY DRIVE - Low, however 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 (once I've got my initial zoomies out) but would love an adopter who is willing to continue working with me on my leash skills.
Crate trained - Yes! Having lived in a kennel/shelter environment for quite some time, 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 – Work in progress! I am very clean inside my crate/kennel space, so my rescuers think I'll pick up housetraining pretty quick. 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 neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
I have tested negative for heartworm.
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! :)
