PATO

Hola amigos! My name is Pato and here's some info about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:

Breed: Irish Wolfhound mix
Age: 2 years 1 month approx. 
Gender: Male
Weight: 37lbs (17 kg) 
Height: 70cm (paws to top of my head)
Length: 80cm (head to butt)
Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico

RESCUE STORY - Like many of my friends, my life started out pretty rough! While we aren't sure what my full backstory is, what is clear is that I was found as a stray pup living by a taco stand. I was pretty hungry and I had likely figured out there is where the hoomans went for food so naturally I was hanging around here asking for some scraps. Some nice hoomans decided this wasn't the life for me so they took me in and after getting the all-clear from the vet, I went on to a boarding facility which is where I am now - patiently waiting for my very first furever family to choose me!

TEMPERAMENT - I have a nice, balanced energy level (medium energy). I'm not noisy or hump but I am playful - just not overly active or energetic. A few walks and a play in the park here and there is really all I need! I am a curious and sweet boy and although I get along fine with other dogs, I do prefer female pups!

ENERGY LEVEL - Medium

GETS ALONG WITH:

Kids – Unknown.
Dogs – Yes but mainly female pups!
Cats – Unknown but testing can be requested

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 – Pretty good/work in progress. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success!
House trained – My rescuer says this is a work in progress and I may need some additional training and patience. 
Crate trained – My rescuer says this is a work in progress and I may need some additional training and patience. 
Car rides – My rescuer says this is a work in progress and I may need some additional training and patience. 

Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.

HEALTH NOTES:

I am spayed/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.

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.
