RESCUE STORY - My rescue journey began nearly two years ago just outside of Mexico City, where I was found scared, injured, and abandoned on the street. My rescuer believes I was hit by a car, as my right hind leg appeared broken, I was in pretty sad shape! Thankfully, a kind stranger scooped me up and rushed me to the shelter where I received urgent veterinary care. See videos from my rescue day here, here, and here.
Sure enough, my leg was fractured! It required surgery to heal properly, they even inserted a temporary pin to help me heal! Being the strong and resilient lady that I am, I have healed up nicely and even go on daily walks to help strengthen my leg.
TEMPERAMENT - The volunteers here at the shelter say I’m a loving, gentle girl. I coexist well with my fellow doggos, and humans too! I pickup on commands easily, and am very alert. I tend to pickup on noises around the shelter!
ENERGY LEVEL - Medium/High - I looove to go for walks, and to play with my pals here at the shelter! We keep busy playing with my favorite toy, balls! And doggie toys! A fun fact about me, chicken is my favorite food! You’ll also catch me snacking on carrots and tortillas!
When it’s time to wind down, I share my bed with many dogs here at the shelter! While I love to snuggle with my pals, I’m SO looking forward to a bed of my very own in a forever home - will that be with you?!
GETS ALONG WITH:
- Kids – Unknown. While I’m a pretty sweet gal, I haven’t had much exposure to kiddos at the shelter.
- Dogs – You betcha! I live with many dogs here at the shelter. We like to walk and play together!
- Cats – Yes, I do well with kitties! Take a look at my videos here and here.
PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.
TRAINING:
- Leash skills – Pretty good, but I will need some help polishing up! I will need an adopter who is happy to work with me on my leash manners. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success! Find videos of me walking on a leash here and here!
- House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :)
Please Note: WCP Dog Rescue partners with Unleashed Dog Training (Hannah Swain, Balanced Dog Trainer) to offer adopters 50% off one training session (not including tax and applicable gas surcharges). Any subsequent sessions will be offered at standard rates. WCP also highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.
HEALTH NOTES:
- I am spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records.
- I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying North.
- 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 $728.00 CAD including tax (5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.

The info included in each WCP bio is provided to us from the international rescuer. WCP does not have in-person access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions, although we ask for video proof of a dog's attributes wherever possible. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person(s) adopting them and the environment in which they live.
WCP is unable to guarantee the accuracy of a dogs age and/or breed. These are strictly "best guesses" based on veterinary exams and their educated estimates.
