My story

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

Hey yo yo!! My name is Loreto and here's my details:



PHYSICAL INFO:




  • Breed: Lab/Staffy(?) mix (just a guess!)

  • Age: 1 year 2 months approx.

  • Gender: Male

  • Weight: 44lbs (20kg)

  • Current Location: Baja Mexico



RESCUE STORY - Like my sis Lupi, I was unfortunately thrown out onto the streets with my mumma when I was just a babe. This was tough times for us as we thought we had a furever family...and the streets are no place for puppies to be! Thankfully our mum kept us safe until some kind hoomans found us and took us to a shelter where I've been able to develop into the fun-loving and playful doggo that I now am. I would really looooove to be a part of my very own furever family someday so that I can share my boundless amounts of affection! 



TEMPERAMENT - Looking for a lovebug? Look no further! I adore hoomans and giving kisses is my favourite pastime! You can find me sharing fun times with the other doggos at the shelter, or just chilling in the shade looking for someone to share my cuddles with. I have a very sweet and playful spirit and I love games of fetch and getting my energy out with my sibling. I'm an adaptable pooch and would likely do well either in an apartment or in a house :) As long as there's hoomans to give me affection, cuddles and a good few games of fetch, I'm golden! 



ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate



GETS ALONG WITH:




  • Kids – Unknown but testing can be requested. 

  • Dogs – Yep!! I get along just fine with other dogs. 

  • Cats – Unknown (I seem uninterested in cats but further testing can be requested)



PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.



TRAINING:




  • Leash skills – These are a work in progress! My adopter must be willing to provide me with some training and patience :) 

  • House trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience. 

  • Crate trained – This is a work in progress and may need some additional training and patience. 

  • Car rides – This is a work in progress and 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 am neutered and vaccinated.

  • NOTE: dogs from the Baja are not microchipped.

  • 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 $840.00 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.

Additional adoption info

Please keep in mind that there may be multiple applications for a single dog and that even if your phone interview and home check are successful, there is no guarantee that you will be matched with the dog you have applied for. Your chances of a successful match greatly increase if you list more than one dog on your application.
