STEFANO

Hiiiiii there! My name is Stefano and here is a bit more info about me. PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Mixed Schnauzer Age: 1 year 2 months Gender: Male Weight: 24 lbs ( 11 kg) Length (nose to bum): 62 cm Height (paws to top of head): 54 cm Current Location: Mexico City, Mexico RESCUE STORY - I wasn't always homeless but when my hooman got really sick, my family couldn't take care of me anymore. I was brought to La Casa del Mestizo shelter, located in Mexico City. I was quite malnourished and in need of exercise. I didn't really go on walks with my family even though I do love them! I started making new friends at the shelter and I love to play with other dogs, no matter how big or small they are. TEMPERAMENT - I'm very friendly and my favorite things to play with are plastic bottles! I like to hide the fun bottles in my kennel where I sleep with my best doggy friend. Despite sleeping with the door open, I prefer to sleep inside my kennel. I am super friendly and very affectionate with hoomans and just love, LOVE! I am looking for a new family where I can feel love and I'll be furever faithful to you. My favorite snacks are chicken, apples, and carrots. Yum! ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate. I have average energy and love to relax and take naps. I usually go to bed at 9 pm! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids Unknown As with ALL dogs, I should be supervised around children. My humans need to advocate for my space and make sure I'm respected :) Dogs Yes! I get along with the doggies at the shelter, big and small. Check out my video of me walkin' with my pack. NOTE: I do not like to eat amongst friends and show some resource guarding tendencies towards dogs if I'm eating. If you have another doggy in your household, I will need to be fed separately. Cats Unknown 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: I like my space during mealtime, even though all my friends are eating their own food, I don't want to share my and prefer to eat alone. Leash skills I love walkies! My leash skills are a work in progress (although pretty darn good!) and I'd love an adopter who can patiently help be learn perfect leash manners! House trained Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) Crate trained Unknown Car rides Unknown Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives. HEALTH NOTES: I am neutered and vaccinated. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records. I will be tested for Brucellosis, Parvo, Distemper, and Heartworm 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 it's adoption process.
