My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MEGAN ✨
🐶 Age almost one year
🌍 Location: Incline Village
💙 female
🎃 Breed: lab/Border collie/poodle/German shepherd
Note: We got her DNA! She has lab, poodle, Border collie and about 30 more breeds! Note: the poodle in her is not enough to prevent shedding
📏 Size: she will be big size
⚖ Weight: 50 pounds now, probably full grown
She is chipped

Healthy: healthy, spayed
Nexgarde, dewormed, vaccines, 4 DX, blood test, bordatella

💃Energy: she has loving energy, always happy and playful, she gets along so easy with anyone .

🐶Friends of dogs: she is friendly with the dogs once she gets to know them, at first greet and meet Megan is a little of an outsider and a little cautious but it doesn’t take much time until she feels comfortable.

She definitely needs a few minutes to settled into new environments, but it doesn’t take long.

👧🏽 Children’s friends: At this point, she is afraid of children and will require more training. We are working on it!
⛓Etiquette with leash: Yes, but needs a little bit more confidence, which she is gaining every day. She walks well off leash and does not stray far. She looks back often, she does not want to lose you!.
🥘 Resource
MEGAN is a happy dog, always on the move, you notice her often
She happily shares toys and food. Maybe a little resource full on her food.

She is very obedient when she is spoken to but needs basic training.

📣 Barking/loud: no
When someone arrives at the house, they are received with caution. We are still working on getting her to trust people but she is learning.
Megan is a sweet dog
She definitely will love the runs in the woods or lakes.

🏡 Domestic: Yes

🚙 Good in the car: Yes, calm down in the car. She might whine for a few minutes when we first set off, but she quickly calms down. She has ridden both in a crate in the car and out.

TEMPERAMENT
MEGAN is an incredibly affectionate dog who loves you as soon you make contact with her .
Her energy is high

I have cats in my house and she gets very excited. She will need some work to be around cats, but she can learn. I'll keep working on her. UPDATE: She has already learned to be around the cats! She is very smart, eager to please.
She whines and howls a bit when food is being prepared or when she is super excited. I have been working on this (I have roommates!) and she has gotten much better. She is learning to be quiet when I tell her to stop. She comes when called. She does not bark a lot. She is very enthusiastic about life.

She has been going to dog obedience class and has come a LONG way. She's not very good at heel but she is learning not to pull. She can walk off leash (in the forest, for example) and she will stay with you. She knows sit, lay, stay and knows not to jump on people or items in the house (although she sometimes does it anyway!)

Megan is going to be an exceptional dog. I might be hard pressed to give her up at this point, because I have put a lot of energy into turning her into the perfect dog. She will have to go to an exceptional home!

Further observations: I have fostered Megan since May. She has come a LONG way to becoming a great dog. She will need a large yard and long walks so that she can run. She would do well with another dog about her size. She loves to play and chase.
She is initially very distrustful of children but at Thanksgiving, I am hoping to introduce her to my grandbabies so that she can learn to be gentle and not afraid.

📚RESCUE STORY
Megan was born on the streets with 5 other siblings, 2 were run over by a car, 2 disappeared and we found Megan in a Gas station when still a puppy.

Their adoption process

1.

Interview

We vet all people fully by phone.

2.

Submit Application

We require the application and a video of the home, yard, places the dog will be.

3.

Meet the Pet

We meet with the people at my home (typically). See how the pet responds to them.

4.

Home Check

Rather than do home checks, we have you take a video of your home and yard.

5.

Take the Pet Home

We REQUIRE frequent updates, photos and videos. We create a WhatsApp group, making it easy to share with our staff in Lake Tahoe and Cancun.

Additional adoption info

We require feedback after the adoption. We always want to know the dog is in the BEST place. If it doesn't work out, we require the dog come back to us.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We meet by appointment only. We bring four dogs at a time and find homes as quickly as we can. We typically meet in Incline Village but sometimes we might meet somewhere else (half way or at the adopters home, for example).

More about this rescue

LOS PERROS PERDIDOS Foundation partners with our sister rescue in Mexico, PAWS IN ACTION CANCUN.

We are determined to save as many broken, abused, abandoned and neglected street and shelter dogs in Mexico as we can.

Motivated by a deep love of our 4-legged friends, our mandate is to save and improve as many lives as possible.

We have seen many tragedies and have witnessed the most horrible cruelties, but we know that by working together we can make a significant difference.

Raising awareness of the importance of spaying and neutering our furry friends and through the love and support of our wonderful volunteers, supporters and adopters, our hope is to rescue, heal and successfully rehome as many of these deserving souls as possible.

With your help, we can do this!
