Story
Hi folks! My name is Noodle (Nedal in Korea!) and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Schnauzer/jindo mix (best guess!) Age: 4 years approx.  Gender: Male Weight: 20 lbs (9kg)  Height: 50cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 60cm (head to butt) Current Location: S. KOREA  RESCUE STORY - I spent a long year waiting for my forever family in a small cage at the Suwon City Shelter. During that whoooole entire time, not a single family reached out to inquire about me, and I was ultimately placed on the urgent euthanasia list. Gulp! Thankfully, a rescue group in Korea stepped in to save me just in time. They had decided they were unable to let such a sweet, social boy like me be lost!  TEMPERAMENT - I am a remarkably affectionate boy who genuinely adores human interaction and attention. I quickly approach even new acquaintances with a happy, wagging tail and I accept physical touch very comfortably. When handled, if someone attempts to hug me or hold me by the neck area, I gracefully flop onto my back in a passive posture. Around familiar humans, I bounce with joy and I deeply crave their affection. I do far prefer human companionship over being left alone! As a result, I am currently showing mild signs of separation anxiety when people leave my sight. Things such as whining and howling. My rescuers say I do calm down within a few minutes, it's just that I really, really miss hoomans! I would therefore do best with a family that works from home. Note - l recently started to show some nipping if someone tries to do things to me that I don't like (For example: putting me into a small space or my kennel, getting my fur brushed in areas that are tangled, trying to pick me up after I flop onto my back to 'protest' doing something). I do give warning signs! Normally I'll lay on my back when there is something I don't want to do and if you try to force me to do it that's when I can nip. Otherwise though I love getting pets and belly rubs! ENERGY LEVEL – High - I usually greet people with happy barks and an enthusiastic full-body tail wag! If I don't receive attention, I may jump up to say hello! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – No - I haven't been around children, but I would do best in a home without kids. This is because of my nipping behaviour and also when I get excited I tend to jump up on people, which could accidentally cause scratches or knock over a small child!  Dogs – Yes - I generally coexist well with dog friends. While I may startle slightly if another dog approaches me too abruptly, I quickly join in on the fun and love playing with compatible peers. Some dogs do exhibit some signs of discomfort when I approach with high energy and I can miss those signals. Cats – No thank you! 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 behaviors, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills –  My rescuer says I am good with this but with more training I will be great! See me on a leash around other pups here and here. I accept my harness and leash without resistance. While I show initial leash pulling at the start of a walk, I quickly settle down and frequently check back with my handler while walking. I will need an adopter who is happy to work with me on my leash manners. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success! House trained – Work in progress – frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn house training in my new home :) Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.  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 to Canada.  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.  My adoption fee is $728 ($650.00 CAD + applicable taxes), 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.

Story
Herro kind humans! My name is MIRA (or Miranda, as they call me down here), and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Schnauzer Mix   Age: 3 years 1 month approx. Gender: Female Weight: 18 lbs (8 kg)  Current Location: Guadalajara, MX RESCUE STORY – I was born into a bit of a hoarding situation where an old, kind man was trying to take care of sooo many homeless dogs. I met my very best doggo friend here, Cleo. She's older than me and she was my buddy for the first 3 years of my life. She made me feel secure and confident. Rescuers finally found us and took most of us out of the unsafe house, and we are all looking for our furever hooomans.  TEMPERAMENT - I am a very chill gal. Like, sooo calm and sweet. I really like having Cleo or another dog with me. Sometimes I am scared at first in a new situation or person, but I am definitely willing to trust. My rescuer would say I am shy, reserved and sometimes skiddish at first, but now I seek out my hooman and want to cuddle and get petted. And I'll kiss you too, thankful for your love. See it here! I reeeeally love treats and hanging out with my doggie pals. You'll usually find me lying beside my pals (most likely Cleo!). I respond best to food and a calm, gentle voice.  ENERGY LEVEL - I'm chill and usually have low energy, but who knows how I will be with my new family! I am only 3 years old, after all.  GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – I haven't been around any kids yet.. so, unsure!  Dogs – Yup! I live with lots of other dogs at the shelter. Cats – No, they scare me!  PREY DRIVE -  Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around new things in Canada like squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.   TRAINING: Leash skills – Not too bad! I never got walked during the first 3 years of my life so I am just getting used to new routines. I know this is when I should go potty but sometimes strange, loud noices freak me out when I'm out walking. I'm a work in progress. See me here :)  House trained – Work in Progress. I know I'm supposed to do my business outside in the courtyard at the shelter, however I still have a few accidents. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn propper habits in my new home :) Please Note: WCP Dog Rescue partners with Unleashed Dog Training (Hannah Swain, Balanced Dog Trainer) to offer adopters 50% off one training session (not including tax and applicable gas surcharges). Any subsequent sessions will be offered at standard rates. WCP also highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives. HEALTH NOTES: I am spayed and vaccinated. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records. I receive a monthly pill to prevent heartworm. 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 ($750.00 + 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 it's adoption process.
