Adopt KIRA a Black - with White American Staffordshire Terrier dog in Langley

Location:

Langley, BC

Description:

Hello out there! I'm Kira and you can learn more about me here:PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Staffordshire Terrier mix Age: 5 years 2 months approx. Gender: Female Weight: 44lbs (20 kg) Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico RESCUE STORY - Oooh my past life was a time I shudder to remember. A hooman adopted me thinking that she could give me what I needed but she instead brought me into a hoarding situation. At the time I was living with 20 cats (!) and my 4 puppies - the 4 that survived of the original 13 I had given birth to. One day my hooman got sick and everything got even worse for me and my puppies. Thankfully some other kind folks came to our rescue just in time! When they found me I was a pretty sad case. I had sarcoptic mange which caused my skin to scab and bleed, eye ulcers which caused my eyes to swell shut, malnutrition, and a serious case of doggy depression. Despite my state, I still took the time to give my rescuers soft kisses and show them my love and gratitude. I have now been nursed back to full health & have learned how to play and have fun (yes I had to learn this!). TEMPERAMENT - I now have a new leash, er, lease on life! I am grateful and loving, and an all-around super sociable pup who enjoys the company of hoomans and doggies alike. Gone are my depression days, I am a very happy doggo now who is also known for my obedience, loyalty, and love of toys and food (who doesn't love food?!). I would love nothing more than a family to call my own, one who will promise to look after me forever and ever ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate to HighGETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown Dogs – Yep!! I'm a very friendly pup who enjoys the company of other doggos. Cats – Unknown (no video evidence provided) but I was rescued from a house with 20 cats. 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 – My rescuers say I am pretty good with my leash skills, however I may need some additional patience and training as I love to say hi to everyone and other doggos. House trained – My rescuer says I may need some additional training and patience with this as I live at a shelter. Crate trained – My rescuer says this is in progress but I may need some additional training and patience. Car rides – I do okay in the car but it's not my favourite. Please Note: WCP Dog Rescue partners with Unleashed Dog Training (Hannah Swain) to offer adopters one training session at a rate of $25. Any subsequent sessions will be offered at a rate of $50. 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. 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. ADOPTION FEE: My adoption fee is $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 it's 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. These are strictly "best guesses" based on veterinary exams and their educated estimates. ##1779727##
