NENA

Hi my friends! My name is Nena and here's more about me:<br/><br/>PHYSICAL INFO:<br/><br/><br/> Breed: Border Collie/Sheltie mix<br/> Age: 7 years 5 months approx. <br/> Gender: Female<br/> Weight: 49lbs (22 kg) <br/> Height: 50cm (paws to top of my head)<br/> Length: 70cm (head to butt)<br/> Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico<br/><br/><br/>RESCUE STORY - I'm not gonna lie, it's been a rough life for me folks! I used to live with an unhoused person for a couple of years, but during that time I was neglected, malnourished and mistreated. When some angels stepped in and finally rescued me they noticed I was super skinny and I had developed resource guarding (protecting my food and my hoomans from other dogs), reactivity and a prey drive. This is likely because of the tough times I had when I was younger and food was not guaranteed for me. My rescuers took me in and I started working with some nice trainers and have made some progress. However, I cannot be around other doggies and I would do best with an experienced adopter. I have bitten one dog in the past and therefore it's essential I am the only pup at home (and that the presence of other dogs around me is managed when I am out on a walk/on a leash). Aside from this, I am super affectionate with my people! <br/><br/>TEMPERAMENT - I'm a very relaxed, chill pup with a pretty low energy level. I like to spend my time lazing in the sunshine! I also am not noisy or jumpy at all, I'm a quiet and afectionate pup who really bonds with my people. I loveeeee cuddles and belly rubs!<br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL - Low<br/><br/>GETS ALONG WITH:<br/><br/><br/> Kids – Unknown.<br/> Dogs – No. I cannot live with other dogs and have bitten another dog in the past. My adopter will need to be experienced and committed to managing my reactions around other dogs when we are out in the community.<br/> Cats – No. Due to my prey drive, I am not suitable for a home with cats or other small animals.<br/><br/><br/>PREY DRIVE – High. I have shown a prey drive, so my adopter needs to understand and be prepared to manage this behaviour safely. I will need ongoing training, structure and appropriate management to help me succeed.<br/><br/>TRAINING:<br/><br/><br/> Leash skills – Pretty good, however I am dog-reactive on a leash. To continute to develop my leash skills, a well-fitted harness/collar and some dedicated leash training will be needed!<br/> House trained – My rescuer says I am good with this but I may need some additional training and patience. <br/> Crate trained – My rescuer says this is a work in progress and I may need some additional training and patience. <br/> Car rides – My rescuer says this is a work in progress and I may need some additional training and patience. <br/><br/><br/>Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives. <br/><br/>HEALTH NOTES: <br/><br/><br/> I am spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records.<br/> I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying to Canada.<br/> 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.<br/><br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE:<br/><br/><br/> My adoption fee is $728.00 CAD including tax (5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.<br/><br/><br/>-------------------------------------<br/><br/>DISCLAIMER: <br/><br/>Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and it's adoption process.<br/><br/>The info included in each WCP bio is provided to us from the international rescuer.
