Hiya! My name is PERLA and here is some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
- Breed: Bull Terrier/Corgi Mix
- Age: approx. 3 years
- Gender: Female
- Weight: 44 lbs, 20 kg
- Height: approx. 50 cm (paws to top of head)

- Current Location: MEXICO CITY
RESCUE STORY – I was found wandering the streets of Xochimilco, Mexico City. This is a well-known area of high abandonment. My rescuer found me next to the body of my furry companion and I was very scared. Seeing that I had recently had puppies and was very vulnerable, she took me to be spayed, so that at least I would be in less danger. However, once I recovered, she couldn't return me to the streets, and although there are many dogs already in the shelter, they made a little space for me! Now I'm ready for a home that will welcome me with open arms.
TEMPERAMENT - I am a calm, sweet girl who is pretty darn chill. I almost never bark and I really just love to keep my rescuer company-- big people gal! I like to play with my sheltermates of all sizes but overall I'm pretty chill and happy to just hangout. Good news, I don't show any resource guarding when food is out (video). I am incredibly tolerant with the younger puppies at the shelter and have the perfect balance of play and teaching in my interactions with them (video). My true mama instincts kick in in these settings!
ENERGY LEVEL - low/medium energy. I'll be the perfect balance of walkies + snoozies!
GETS ALONG WITH:
- Kids – Unknown.
- Dogs – Yuppers! I'm social at the shelter and I like hanging out with my friend Sunny (video). I'm a pretty neutral girl around my shelter friends.
- Cats – Unknown. I haven't met cats, so I don't know how I will behave with them.
TRAINING:
- Leash skills – The shelter I live at is on a big property, so I don't get a ton of leash-walkin' experience. Check out my videos though-- I'm not too shabby for having very little practice! (video, video) I don't seem at all phased by noisy traffic going by! I pull a little bit sometimes, so I'm looking for a patient adopter who can help me work on my leash manners.
- House trained – Not yet! With multiple dogs at the shelter, I don't get the 1-on-1 attention needed to achieve house training status. Positive reinforcement and lots of frequent bathroom breaks will help me learn new habits in my forever home :)
Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.
HEALTH NOTES:
- I am spayed and vaccinated. I have proof of all my vaccines and test records. I will have my teeth cleaned before I fly home!
- I receive a monthly pill to prevent heartworm.
ADOPTION FEE:
- My adoption fee is $840.00 CAD ($750.00 + GST and PST)
