Adopt MIJO (local) yo a Whippet / Husky dog in Langley, BC (41398046)

Langley, BC

Description:

Hi everyone, I'm the marvellous Mijo and here's some information on me:Age: 8 yrsBreed: Whippet/Husky mixWeight: 38 lbsHeight: just under 24 inchesGender: MaleMy foster says that I am the epitome of a fun-loving canine companion, with a heart full of joy and a tail that never stops wagging! I am cuddly and affectionate and love my furry friends and humans of all ages.My loyalty is unmatched; I'm just happy to be shadowing you, making sure everything is ok and just generally being a good companion. This however doesn't mean that I'm needy. I am quite understanding of personal space so just give me a gentle command to lie down and I'll oblige. While I love being social, I am also independent enough to be on my own without any problems. Of course, I will always be overjoyed to see you return.Unfortunately, I had a rough start in life. I was rescued from the streets of Mexico, where I had hot oil poured on me and I was treated horribly. Someone finally rescued me from the streets, but more recently, my owner left me at the dog walker's place and just never came back for me. I can't understand why someone would just abandon me? Anyways, I am looking for my new forever family and home. Do you need a super-chill but confident companion? I might just be the one!While my hips are kind of stiff, I can jump in a car and go up and down stairs fine. Likely some glucosamine or other joint supplement will help.I can have a little nervous reaction in a new environment (like barking at new dogs on a walk), but then I settle down well once I feel more comfortable in the setting. I actually do love playing with other dogs and humans. I'm good at following commands too.Energy Level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: yesCats: unknown (believe he lived with one previously)Kids: yesFears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Training: My foster says I do well at following cues and commands. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.Leash skills: some. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.Health notes: I have been neutered, vaccinated & microchipped.My adoption fee is $650.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue. Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems. Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you. The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs. Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live. Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website. ##2046072##
