Story
Hiya friends! My name is GIZMO and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Terrier, Maltese mix Age: Approx.1 year old Gender: Male Weight: 17 lbs (7.8 kg)  Height: 46 cm (paws to top of my head), 36 cm (paws to shoulders) Length: 52 cm (head to butt) Neck: 29 cm Chest: 46 cm Current Location: MEXICO CITY RESCUE STORY - I was found in an area around one of the prisons in Mexico City that is often used as a dumping ground for unwanted dogs. Volunteers are working to get all of the abandoned dogs to safety, as the "unwanted" dogs are regularly disposed of by poisoning. I was one of the lucky ones, because a local rescuer took me home with them while they searched for a shelter to officially take me on. Luckily, La Casa shelter accepted me soon after, and I has been living her for the past four months. My rescuers think I once lived in a home, based on my temperament and sociability. Unfortunately, they think I may have been abandoned as a pup due to my underbite, as a lot of dogs with underbites are considered unattractive and abandoned. Can you believe it?? When I was rescued in June 2025, I was underweight but otherwise healthy. I am safe and sound at the shelter now and am patiently awaiting my forever home! TEMPERAMENT - I am a curious, joyful boy who loves people’s attention (video). My rescuers say I'm friendly with everyone at first sight, even with strangers (video). I'm well socialized and get along with all the dogs at the shelter. I can play, but I'm also content on my own. I'm used to sleeping in my crate at night, nice and cozy. I live with dogs of all sizes and eat alongside them with no resource guarding. Overall, I'm a brave boy, but the only thing that scares me is walking on metal surfaces, like the ones used to cover floors during construction work - so hopefully my adopter can help me overcome that fear with time. I am so deserving of lots of love and hope to find my forever home soon! ENERGY LEVEL - Medium/Low - I enjoy a good walk but then am happy to snooze and cuddle! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown. I don’t have any known experience around kiddos just yet. Dogs – You betcha! I get along well with dogs of all sizes! Here's a video of me meeting some doggos on leash. Cats –Pretty sure! We don't have a video of me with kitties yet, but my rescuer says I'm cat-friendly. We can request a video of an interaction if my adopter has a cat in their home. 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 – I do pretty well walking on a leash (video), but will need an adopter who is happy to work with me on my leash manners so I can polish up my skills! A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success! I don't appear bothered by noise, cars, or motorbikes (video), however I have a fear of walking on metal surfaces. House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) HEALTH NOTES: 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. 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. ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and its adoption process. The info included in each WCP bio is provided to us from the international rescuer. WCP does not have in-person access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions, although we ask for video proof of a dog's attributes wherever possible. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person(s) adopting them and the environment in which they live.  WCP is unable to guarantee the accuracy of a dogs age and/or breed.

Story
Greetings folks! My name is BOBY and here is a little info about me:Breed: Terrier mixAge: 1 yearGender: MaleWeight: 7 kgHeight: TBDCountry of Origin: Middle EastHighlights: gentle, friendly, playful, adaptable, affectionate Hello there!I’m a sweet little fellow with a big heart, and a resilient spirit.I once had a family of my own, but sadly, they decided they didn't want to care for me anymore. Even though there was uncertainty and instability so early in my life, I never let it harden my heart. I stayed gentle and kind. You can tell that I'm a pup who sees the good in people, because my tail is always wagging and I'm happy as can be when receiving pets and gentle scratchies!Now, I’m ready for a forever home that knows the value of loyalty, love, and belly rubs.I’m a happy-go-lucky pup who fits in just about anywhere - whether you're on the move or enjoying a quiet night in, I’m your guy. I adore people, get along great with other dogs and cats (I'm very curious about cats), and I’ve got that just-right energy level — playful when it’s time to play, calm when it’s time to rest.I’m an adaptable boy, so I could thrive in many different types of homes, as long as you’ve got love to give (and maybe a cozy blanket), I’ll be the happiest pup around.Videos coming soon. Energy Level: ModerateI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: YesKids: Yes Fears: None observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training:Leash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue my training.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home. Health Notes:I have been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.My adoption fee is $850.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. While our rescuers always seek a flight without a charge, there is the possibility of a passenger fee, not to exceed $300. Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or  Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs. You will NOT be asked to pay a passenger fee on top of the cargo fee. [MID-EAST] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.[TURKEY] Dogs from Turkey receive a 4D SNAP test to include Leishmania, Heartworm, Ehrlichia, & Anaplasma, as well as Giardia, Parvo, Corona & Distemper. ##2581008##

Story
I’m a small Jack Russell Terrier mix girl, weighing about 6kg. I may be tiny, but my heart is incredibly big. My sister and I were rescued after wandering the streets at a very young age. Even though life was tough in the beginning, I never let it take away my bright spirit or my warm, loving nature. I love other dogs and make friends easily. Meeting new furry buddies is one of my favorite things, and I’m always gentle and friendly. I adore people even more — if our eyes meet, my tail starts wagging before I can even think about it! I just can’t help wanting to be close to you. I’m also a great walking companion. I match your pace beautifully and enjoy taking in the world around me with calm curiosity. Walks with me are peaceful, happy moments. I’m still a puppy, so I’m learning my potty manners at home. But don’t worry — I’m smart, eager to please, and I pay close attention to my humans. With a bit of consistency and love, I’ll learn quickly. Above all, I’m a little girl who loves giving and receiving affection. My heart is warm, soft, and ready to belong to someone special. I’m waiting patiently — and hopefully — for my first and forever family. If you can give a small life like me a warm home and endless love, I promise to give you all of my heart in return. 💛 With love, Seri 🐶💕

I’m a small Jack Russell Terrier mix girl, around 6kg, with a beautiful leopard-patterned coat that everyone says is super charming. I was rescued while wandering the streets with my sister Seri, but even after all that, I’ve grown into one of the happiest, warmest little puppies you’ll ever meet. I get along wonderfully with other dogs and adjust quickly to new places and new friends. I’m very affectionate with people, too — call my name and I’ll run right over, or I might quietly tuck myself right beside your leg, just wanting to be close. Walks are my absolute favorite! I’m full of curiosity, so I love sniffing around, exploring new sights, and enjoying every moment outside. Even with all my excitement, I don’t pull or rush ahead, so walking with me is always pleasant and easy. Since I’m still a puppy, I’m learning my potty training skills, but I’m smart and quick to pick things up — I’ll get the hang of it with gentle, consistent teaching. I may be small, but I have a big, warm presence that melts hearts the moment you meet me. I’m waiting for the family who will love me forever and let me share my bright, curious energy with them. If you can give a cozy, loving home to a little girl full of wonder and affection, I’ll give you all the love in my tiny body in return. 💛 With love, Nerie 🐶✨

Story
Meet Vanilla   Name: Vanilla Age: 6 years Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Terrier mix Color: Beige/White Weight: 5kg Height (shoulder): 23cm   Her Rescue Story   Vanilla was found in a temple parking lot in late August 2025 and brought to a city shelter. Despite being gentle and calm, she was placed on the euthanasia list — but was thankfully rescued just in time. Now she’s safe, cherished, and waiting for a loving family.   ‍‍ Social with People   Vanilla is quiet, calm, careful, and incredibly gentle. When called, she approaches slowly, lies down, and shows her belly. She allows handling, being picked up, and enjoys quiet affection. She’s still a bit unsure around men, but has no avoidance or fear reactions. She is expected to do well with children under 13 due to her soft temperament.   Social with Dogs   Vanilla minds her own business and rarely engages other dogs. She tends to be intimidated by larger dogs and will politely move away. Even when getting attention from humans, she may relocate if other dogs crowd around. She currently doesn’t initiate play, but may become more confident once settled in a home.   With Cats   Likely to be fearful — cat testing can be arranged if needed   Energy Level   Low — she enjoys resting, relaxing, and peaceful indoor life. Perfect for a calm, cozy household.   Walks   She walks well and follows her handler, frequently checking in for reassurance. She enjoys quiet areas but may stop or hesitate in busy streets with heavy traffic. With patience and encouragement, she’ll continue to build confidence outside.   Other Notes   No resource guarding — toward people or dogs No separation anxiety No barking Calm & comfortable in a kennel/crate Currently potty trained outdoors   Ideal Home   A relaxed, quiet home with gentle humans who will offer patience, comfort, and security. She’s the perfect companion for someone seeking a peaceful, loving, low-energy dog.   If Vanilla sounds like the perfect match for your family, we’d love to hear from you!
