MIMOSA

Hiya! My name is MIMOSA and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Lab mix Age: Approx. 1 year 4 months Gender: Female Weight: 51 lbs (23 kg) I may grow a bit more! Length (nose to butt): 76 cm Height (paws to top of head): 66 cm Current Location: Mexico City RESCUE STORY - My siblings and I were rescued off the streets of Mexico around one month old, my Rescuer thinks we were born there! What scary place for us wee pups! We were found with severe malnutrition and anemia, in pretty sad shape. You can learn more about my heartbreaking rescue by watching this video. I'm so thankful we were rescued and transported to the doggy shelter, where we're now safe and in tip-top shape! TEMPERAMENT - Like most puppies, I have lots of energy and just LOVE to play especially with my siblings (Carla and Robbie)! I adore affection from hoomans and can't wait for all the belly rubs and snuggles from a family of my very own! I am looking for a patient, loving family who is ready for all things puppy! Hoomans who are open to working with timidity, potential play nipping, high energy, house training and leash skills. I promise to repay you with loads of cuddles, kisses (of course!), and tail wags! ENERGY LEVEL - Medium/High - While I'm getting a little older, I am still in my puppy years and have the energy and curiosity that comes with a pup! Being the silly girl that I am, I've been known to rip up cloth rope toys and sometimes blankets. I'm learning better manners with my foster, but nonetheless, my adopter will need to be patient with me when adding more structure into my day-to-day life! I love to play with my fellow pups and hoomans, and also looove to cuddle, show and receive affection (check out these videos: video, video2). I'm looking for a forever family, to play with and love on, of my very own! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids Yes, I do well playing with kiddos. Here's are videos of me greeting children: video, video2, video3, video4 Dogs Yes, I love my puppy family! Check us out in this video! Here's a video of me being a good girl around both hoomans and doggos, and here are videos of me playing at the dog park! Video, video2, video3, video4 Cats Unknown. No exposure to cats just yet! 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 Work in progress. I've been working on my leash skills with my foster, and I'm getting pretty good! 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! Check out video and video 2 to see how I'm doing so far! And one more of me greeting a dog on a leash! House trained Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining 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 spayed and up to date on my puppy shots! I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccine 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.
