Hola! My name is MACI and here is some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
- Breed: Shepherd/Lab Mix (best guess really!)
- Age: approx. 4 years
- Gender: Female
- Weight: 35 lbs (16kgs)
- Height: 60 cm (paws to top of my head)
- Length: 75 cm (head to butt)
- Neck Circumference: 35 cm
- Current Location: MEXICO CITY
RESCUE STORY - I was found begging for food on the side of a highway between Mexico City and the city of Puebla. I was extremely skinny and malnourished; my rescuers could tell I had spent a lot of time on the street. I also showed signs of having recently had puppies, but sadly my puppies were nowhere to be found. Despite my deteriorated physical state, I didn’t show any signs of fear or aggression. I was taken to the vet where I was always calm and friendly, which made it easier for them to give me an extensive check-up. I have been living at a doggie pension since August 2023. I am very well taken care of here (we even have a dog behaviorist who helps assess and socialize all of us rescue pups!), but I am SO ready to go to my forever home!
TEMPERAMENT - I am a very social gal who loves other dogs and people!! I'm friendly from the get-go, not nervous or scared of new people or places. I'm highly adaptable, very affectionate, and LOVE human attention. I love going for long walks but I also just enjoy laying in the sunshine and napping (what girl wouldn't!) I am such a wonderful doggo who is so deserving of a loving home.
ENERGY LEVEL - Medium - I play hard and crash hard. I'm the perfect combo of adventure and chill- once I've had some exercise I am more than happy to snooze and cuddle!
GETS ALONG WITH:
- Kids – Unknown.
- Dogs – Yes! I am living at a doggy pension where I have lots of daily exposure to other dogs. When wrestling with my doggy friends, I am not remotely aggressive however I can be a bit "nippy" in my play style. I will do extra well with playmates who match my energy.
- Cats – Unknown.
PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/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! You can see in my video that I am a pretty good little walker and I love to get out on my leash! I pull a bit but am not reactive towards cars of people passing by. 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.
- In August of 2024, I presented secretions from my mammary glands. The vet performed an abdominal ultrasound and found cysts in my ovaries, so I was spayed. I am now healthy, fully vaccinated, dewormed and have no known health issues!
- 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.
