NESSA

My story

Hi my friends! My name is Nessa and here's some information about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Terrier mix (a best guess!) Age: 3 years 2 months approx.  Gender: Female Weight: 44lbs (20 kg)  Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico RESCUE STORY - I was found living on the streets of a town called Paracho. Street life was really tough for me because I looked a little different from the other street dawgs...I had patchy hair and I looked a bit worse for wear. This unfortunately caused me to be bothered by other dogs and people - some who would even try to scare me, hit me or throw water at me! One day a kind lady found me and took me to the vet. It was here that I was diagnosed with Cushing's Syndrome and we had an answer for my patchy hair! Now with my medication, I am feeling much better and ready to find love with a hooman family to call my own (for the very first time)! My ideal hoomans will be able to help me manage my condition which requires daily medication (one pill a day) and frequent blood tests. In exchange, I will give them endless cuddles and love and be the bestest girl they ever met! TEMPERAMENT - I'm a real gem! My foster family describes me as calm, gentle, sweet, quiet and low energy. I am also friendly towards everyone and everything - including cats, kids and other pups! What more could you ask for? I really love being around hoomans and am somewhat of a couch potato. However when I do venture out, either for a car ride or a little walk, I am extremely well behaved. ENERGY LEVEL - Low  GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yes! I do well with kids as you can see here.  Dogs – Yes! I get along very well with other pups. Cats – Yes! I am good with cats as you can see here.  PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – My rescuer says I am very good with this as you can see here, however I may need some additional patience and training. House trained – My rescuer says I am very good with this but I may need some additional training and patience.  Crate trained – My rescuer says I am very good with this but I may need some additional training and patience.  Car rides – My rescuer says I am excellent in a car as you can see here but I may need some additional training and patience.  Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.  HEALTH NOTES:  I have Cushing's Syndrome, an endocrine disorder which is managed with a daily medication (one pill a day). This has altered my appearance and this conditon will require regular blood tests.  I am spayed and vaccinated. 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 $690.00 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.
