My story

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

Hola! My name is HAPPY and here is some info about me:



PHYSICAL INFO:




  • Breed: Lab Mix

  • Age: 8 years

  • Gender: Female

  • Weight: 48.5lbs (22kgs) 

  • Height: 76 cm (paws to top of my head)

  • Length: 89 cm (head to butt)

  • Current Location: MEXICO CITY



RESCUE STORY - Boy oh boy, is my story heartbreaking! My previous owners dragged me with their car (amongst other terrible acts), and barely even fed me. I also had scabies from living with them! Thankfully, a nice person finally say 'enough is enough'. They took me away from those terrible hoomans, took me to the vet to get me all fixed up, and I have been at the shelter ever since!



During my first vet visit, they told me I had something called TVT. I got this neat thing called chemotherapy and I am as good as a senior gal like me can be! Word on the street is that a doggie who used to live in this shelter, Josie, also had TVT. She made a full recovery and is living in the Pacific Northwest where I hope I can be soon, too! 



I really love to go on walks but loud noises (like motorcycles) can scare me, so please be kind and patient with me. I promise I will reward you with lotsa love! I also loveeee to be a passenger princess on any and all car rides. Don't try to take my favourite toy away from me though - that thing goes EVERYWHERE!



TEMPERAMENT - I am calm and affectionate. I prefer the comapny of women and would do so well in a female-only household, but I do get along with men if they show me lottssss of love, patience, and treats hehe. 



ENERGY LEVEL - Low/medium



GETS ALONG WITH:




  • Kids – Unknown. 

  • Dogs –  Yes! I spend a lot of time with La Charra and Mei Mei at the shelter.

  • Cats – Unknown. 



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 – Good. You can see a video of me walking on a leash. I am a good little walker and I love to get out on my leash! A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help continue my success!

  • House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new 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/neutered, 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 $616.00 CAD ($550.00 + PST and GST), 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.

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.
