American Staffordshire Terrier puppies and dogs in British Columbia

Hola amigos!! My name is Gus and you can find out more about me here: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Staffordshire terrier mix  Age: 8 months approx. Gender: Male Weight: 43lbs (20kg) Current Location: Baja Mexico RESCUE STORY - My start to life was less than stellar! My previous family decided they didn't want me and my eight siblings anymore so they decided to leave us out in the middle of nowhere to fend for ourselves. As you can imagine, we were NOT doing so swell (we were just wee pups after all!) but thankfully some angels came and rescued us. Now that I've had some time to recover with the hoomans, I'm ready to find a furever family of my own in the PNW. I promise we'll be the best of friends, whaddya say?!  TEMPERAMENT - Mellow as a cucumber and full of chilled-out charm, I'm guaranteed to capture your heart! Despite having a ruff start to life, I love hoomans and live for any affection that is shown to me. I also love to show it back with tonnns of hugs and kisses. I'm really an easy-going and relaxed pup who enjoys the simple things in life - toys, hoomans, other doggos...In fact, I think you and I could really hit it off! ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yes I get along fine with older children as you can see here (I have not been tested with younger children). Dogs – Yep!! I get along just fine with other dogs.  Cats – I seem okay with cats but further testing can be requested. PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – These are a work in progress but I'm doing pretty good as you can see here! My adopter must be willing to provide me with some training and patience :)  House trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.  Crate trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.  Car rides – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.  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 neutered and vaccinated. NOTE: dogs from the Baja are not microchipped. 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 $750.00 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 it's adoption process.

Hiya out there!! My name is Gio and here's the stuff you wanna know: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Staffordshire terrier mix  Age: 8 months approx. Gender: Male Weight: 44lbs (20kg) Current Location: Baja Mexico RESCUE STORY - Friends, seriously...can you believe I was found abandoned and left to fend for myself with my eight litter mates?! I mean ME? I'm the perfect little gentleman! Anyway, I can't let that get me down now can I? I've since been picked up by some nice two-legged friends down in the Baja and I've been told I've maintained my spirit of resilience and tranquility (Ommm). I'm a super chill dude and I'm always ready for love and cuddles. I make a loyal and fun-loving companion and would fit perfectly into a family who is looking to add a calm, affectionate four-legged companion to the mix.  TEMPERAMENT - I'm super loving, laid-back, charming (if I say so myself) and loyal to my hoomans. I just really appreciate any love and affection I get and I would love to pay it back tenfold if you'll let me! I have a nice, balanced energy level so I'd do equally well oot and aboot and playing with other doggos as I would do chilling at home and watching Pupflix with you. Really I can do it all!  ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yes I'm good with older kids as you can see here (I haven't been tested with younger kids) Dogs – Yep!! I get along just fine with other dogs.  Cats – I seem okay with cats (see here) but can be tested further PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – These are a work in progress but I'm doing pretty good as you can see here! My adopter must be willing to provide me with some training and patience :)  House trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.  Crate trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.  Car rides – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.  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).

Hellooooo out there!! My name is Gizmo and here's my deets: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Staffordshire terrier/Lab mix (just a guess!) Age: 7.5 months approx. Gender: Male Weight: 36lbs (16 kg) Current Location: Baja Mexico RESCUE STORY - Like my super sweet sis, Gucci, I was found abandoned as a tiny pup with all my siblings! You can imagine that we were quite a sight for sore eyes at the time. Thankfully, some pretty nice hoomans took us in and cleaned us up and now I'm ready to find my furever home in the Pacific Northwest with you!! Whaddya say?! TEMPERAMENT - The kind hoomans at the shelter say that I am quite the 'mellow fellow', even as a puppy! What an awesome trait to have. I'm also a very good boy on a leash and I looooove affection and giving hoomans hugs and kisses (my ruff beginnings didn't break my soul one bit!!). I would make the ultimate cuddle bud and would do well in a family that enjoys taking me for a stroll and then snuggling up on the couch (so basically, almost anyone!).  ENERGY LEVEL - Low/Moderate GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown Dogs – Yep!! I get along just fine with other dogs.  Cats – No thank you! PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – These are a work in progress but I'm doing pretty good! My adopter must be willing to provide me with some training and patience :)  House trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.  Crate trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.  Car rides – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience.  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).

Hey friends! My name is Rocco and here's more about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Staffordshire Terrier mix Age: 4 years 4 months approx.  Gender: Male Weight: 44lbs (20 kg)  Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico RESCUE STORY - My name's Rocco and I'm a survivor! My first few years were marked by abandonment as I was left to fend for myself on the busy streets of Guadalajara, Mexico. I spent my days begging strangers for scaps and sipping from toilet bowls (an acquired taste). I was living a bustling gas station which was a rather dangerous environment for me to be in and I was found with several nasty lacerations on my body to prove it. When some kind souls finally rescued me from this perilous existence, my journey to healing began! Over the course of a year, my frail figure and broken soul slowly mended and I was able to pull off a great transformation - not just of the physical kind, but of my spirit as well! My exuberant and loving personality began to show and I started to reflect and return all the heartfelt affection of the people who gave me a second chance at life. My rescuers say my progress towards being the incredible pup I am today is testament to the healing power of love! TEMPERAMENT - I am verrrrry loving and deeply enjoy the company of humans. This also means I can be quite bouncy and energetic around people and I do well with boundaries to remind me that I can't give you hugs ALL the time (dang!). I play well with other dogs too although I can be reactive to some male dogs who try to dominate me and would do well with a family who is willing to work on this with me. Luckily for you, my foster family says I am very obedient, smart, and responsive to training...I've learned several commands in training school! I am also the perfect mix of energetic/playful while outside and calm while at home. If you choose to add me to your life I will repay you 1000x with all the kisses and love in the world! ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – I am friendly and sweet with older children but can be rambunctious so supervision and an assertion of boundaries is recommended - see here (this is because I don't know my own strength and can be bouncy - for this reason I wouldn't do well in a home with younger children).  Dogs – I do well with other non-dominant dogs (see here and here) but can play a littttle rough (that rambunctiousness again!). I can be reactive to dominant male dogs and would do well with an owner who is willing to work on this with me.  Cats – Unknown  PREY DRIVE - Unknown. 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 – My rescuers say I am great with my leash skills as you can see here, however I may need some additional patience and training. House trained – My rescuer says I am doing very well with this but I may need some additional training and patience.  Crate trained – My rescuer says this is going well but I may need some additional training and patience.  Car rides – I can get nervous in a car and may need some additional training to help me relax and enjoy this relatively new experience. I have been enrolled in training and I know some commands like 'sit', 'stay' and 'no'. I am a very smart boy if I say so myself! 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 have a few small scars on my body from some old wounds - one medium sized scar is on my leg.  I am neutered and vaccinated. NOTE: dogs from Guadalajara are not microchipped. 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.

Marbles can be a little shy meaning new people at first but she warms up fast! She is very playful and puppy-like and LOVES to play fetch. She is heartworm negative, spayed and up to date on vaccines. If you would like to learn more about her please email westhoustonanimalrescue@yahoo.com.

***Located in Houston, TX. Available for out of state adoption.*** Hi there! I'm Luna, the luckiest puppy ever! ? I may be just around 8 months old, but I've already had quite an adventure. One day, a kind human found me at the cross section of two busy roads, and they saved me from a very close encounter with a car! It turns out my previous owners didn't appreciate my puppy charms, so they left me all alone. But guess what? I respond to the name Luna now, and I'm ready to find my forever home thanks to my wonderful foster parents. I'm a probably going to be around 50 pounds of pure cuddly love, and I can't wait to share it with my new family. I'm a playful pup, always up for a visit to the dog park, a walk in the neighborhood or a romp in the yard. I'm as sweet as can be, and my curiosity knows no bounds. But what I love most in this world is cuddling up with my humans. It's my absolute favorite! I currently have a 3 year old human foster sister and my foster parents say I'm great with her! I'm also friendly with other dog friends! Squeaky chew toys and bones are the keys to my heart, and I'll entertain you for hours with my enthusiasm for them. Oh, and let's not forget about snacks – they're like tiny treasures to me, especially when I'm a good girl outside (potty training is going great – no accidents here!). So, if you're looking for the cutest, most lovable dog to be your best friend, look no further. I'm here, ready to fill your life with endless joy and puppy kisses! ???
