WINSTON's Story

Hello out there!! My name is WINSTON and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Aussie Shepherd mix (best guess, really!) Age: approx. 1.5 years Gender: Male Weight: 45 lbs Current Location: TEXAS RESCUE STORY - Not much is known about my life before, but one day I just wandered up to a woman's house and made myself at home. They contacted County Roads Rescue, and the rest is history! My rescuers assumed I had an owner at one point, because I was such a well behaved boy! They searched for my owners, but couldn't find them and nobody appeared to be looking for me. Can you believe it? How could nobody be missin' a cutie patootie like me? I am SUCH a good boy and am very ready to find my forever home; one where I will get the love and care I am so deserving of. TEMPERAMENT - I am described as playful, friendly, and very entertaining. I am gentle with kids and people and I love to be around other animals. I've heard that I'm the "best of both worlds" when it comes to manners and energy level. I'm shockingly well behaved considering my lack of a stable home environment during my adolescent years. I am an active boy who will thrive in an home where we go on lots of adventures, walkies, hikes, etc. In true Aussie Shepherd fashion, I am smart, loyal, and need to be mentally and physically tuckered out daily in order to be content and happy. I am a social butterfly and see everyone as a friend (cats, dogs, humans of all ages... you name it, I love it!) ENERGY LEVEL - Medium/High - I am a young Australian Shepherd boi who can be energetic and playful. Once my brain and body are sufficiently exercised, I'm a sweet, cuddly boy who enjoys affection and snuggles. I absolutely LOVE to play with other dogs, but when I'm not in play mode, I'm pretty calm. GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yup! Here is a video of me meeting some kiddos, I'm just the happiest, sweetest boy! as with ALL dogs, I should always be supervised around children and I need to have my space respected. It's important to remember I am a rescue pup with minimal training, so I may play nip or bounce/jump up on people (including children!) Dogs – Yup! Check out my video, I am the ultimate playmate! Cats – Yes - video coming soon. PREY DRIVE - Low, however I don't know how I'll react to squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, if they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – I do pretty well on a slip leash but would love an adopter who is willing to continue working with me on my leash skills. Crate trained - Yes! Growing up in a kennel/shelter environment, my kennel is my safe space. There may be an adjustment period when I go to my new home, but with proper use, the crate can be my safe space :) House trained – Work in progress! I am very clean inside my crate/kennel space, so my rescuers think I'll pick up housetraining pretty quick. I'm sure with frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement in my new home, I'll catch on quickly! Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives. HEALTH NOTES: I have been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I have tested negative for heartworm. I will be tested for distemper and parvo before travelling (although I've been vaccinated for both!) 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, including applicable taxes ($750.00 CAD + 5% GST and 7% PST), which includes my ground transport to Edmonds, Washington. My adopter needs to be willing to drive to Edmonds, Washington to pick me up! :) ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and it's adoption process.

West Coast Paws Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy

WCP wholeheartedly believes in open communication with our adopters. We are always here to provide support and to join you in celebrating your dogs’ successes! Submit an Application - Start by clicking the “Adopt” button on a WCP dog’s profile. You will be redirected to an application form, which we ask you to fill out in as much detail as possible. Phone Interview - After your application is pre-screened, you will be contacted to arrange a Phone Interview. The purpose of the Phone Interview is to chat about the answers you provided on your application and to ask any clarifying questions. House Check - Once you have passed your Phone Interview, we will ask you to send us some photos of your home. Fear not, we don’t expect your house to look like a showhome! We are simply looking to see where your WCP pup would live and whether or not there are any potential safety hazards (escape areas etc.). Approval - Presuming you pass your House Check, you will receive an Adoption Approval email from our WCP Adoption Team. Deposit - A $100 CAD deposit is required in order for your dog to be reserved for you. Once we have received your deposit, we will update your dogs’ profile to show “Pending Adoption” and will stop accepting any further applications for him/her. At this point, we will notify the Rescuer that a home has been found and request that they start looking for a flight volunteer to bring your pup to Vancouver. Now you patiently wait for your dog to be booked on a flight. The Rescuer will work to find a traveller who is willing to add your dog as ‘extra luggage’ onto their ticket. We refer to these kind humans as “Flight Volunteers”. Meanwhile, your pup will be checked by a veterinarian who will issue a Certificate of Health and ensure your pup's shots are up to date. The vet will then approve the dog for travel and will provide all medical documentation, including your pup’s vaccination record. Flight Confirmation & Final Payment - Once the Rescuer finds a flight for your dog, WCP will send you an email with your pup’s flight information. We will also send you specific instructions regarding airport pickup such as where you need to park, what time you need to be there, and what you need to bring with you. Don’t worry, we will tell you everything you need to know! We require you to sign an Adoption Contract before you pick up your dog. Pickup & Take Your Pup Home - Your pup’s “gotcha” day is finally here! You will pick your dog up at the airport and take him/her home with you. Follow-Up & Post Adoption Support - Your WCP adoption experience doesn’t end the moment you take your dog home. We believe in providing ample post-adoption support and want to be a part of your dog’s journey. Within 7 days of taking your dog home, you can expect a phone call from our Follow-Up Team. If you need any help or support, WCP is here for you and your pup! WCP wholeheartedly believes in open communication with our adopters. We are always here to provide support and to join you in celebrating your dogs’ successes! There is no expiration date on our post-adoption support.
