Hiya! My name is LUCKY and here is some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
- Breed: Pittie / Shar Pei (??) mix
- Age: 2 years old (approx.)
- Gender: Female
- Weight: 63.8 lbs (29 kg)
- Height: 65 cm (paws to top of my head)
- Length: 83 cm (head to butt)
- Neck: 45 cm
- Chest: 74 cm
- Current Location: MEXICO CITY
RESCUE STORY - I was found at the Mexico City Airport when the rescue team was there sending another pup to Canada. I was wandering in and out of the airport when my rescuers saw me. They put a crate on the floor for me and I walked right inside! It is believed that I once had a home because I already know how to walk on leash. I have been living at the shelter since August 2024 and am so ready to find my forever home!
TEMPERAMENT - I am a super sweet, loving, and playful girl. You can see from my photos that I love affection - look at the pure joy and happiness in my eyes! I enjoy playing ball and loveee toys (everything from stuffies to bones). I love to go on long walks with the volunteers at the shelter. After my walks, I like to nudge or "knock" at the door to come back inside and eat some food. I am playful and affectionate, even with strangers. I love to get pets and belly rubs (video)! I am friendly with other dogs at the shelter (my BFF is a male shnauzer mix named Stefano)-- we sleep in a kennel together at night. PS. I love carrots!!
ENERGY LEVEL - Medium to High - I enjoy play time and lots of walkies with my trusted hoomans! Exercise is a must for me!
GETS ALONG WITH:
- Kids – Unknown. I haven’t had much exposure to kiddos so far at the shelter.
- Dogs – Yes! I have lots of pals at the shelter, and enjoy walking and the dog park with my fellow doggos!
- Cats – No thank you!
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/Fair. I love any chance to go on a walk! Although I follow basic commands, it's important to remember that I am a BIG, strong girl! So I need a confident owner who is capable of walking a strong doggo. My skills will need some polishing up when I am adopted. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for 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:
- When I was rescued, I had very low bodyweight and was malnourished. I also had a case of Mange (skin condition). I received proper vet care and have fully recovered! I originally ate ROyal Canin food to help me gain weight, but now I have transitioned over to the shelter regular diet (which also includes daily veggies!)
- 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 $840.00 CAD including tax (5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.
