My story

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

We all know how we get that awww feeling when we see an adorable young dog. Mango is the kind of pup who snuggles in, loves you up and then puts her head on your shoulder. She's so sweet and kind with every possibility open to her. That's the case unless a dog is in a high-kill shelter that quickly runs out of space. We're so grateful for the efforts of our great rescuer in Tijuana, Mexico for saving Mango from euthanasia. She could see that her temperament was so sweet and her need so great that she couldn't turn her back on this very special girl. Mango was immediately brought to be vetted, given the appropriate vaccinations, spayed and brought to a dog-loving foster to begin her education as a treasured house dog.

When we think of rescue, our thoughts don't usually go onto the tough streets of Tijuana. But these forgotten dogs deserve our help every bit as much as their US counterparts. They all have been used for opportunistic purposes...to either breed and discard or to sell as a puppy to a Mexican mill or rich tourists. Virtually all of them have lived on the streets and survived by learning to be social. They love people because compassionate tourists were their means of survival. They can sit in any language and fit quietly into any scene to earn a treat or discarded meal.

This was the life waiting for Mango...just 9 - 12 months old and approximately 10 lbs (such a perfect size to be able to accompany her family just about anywhere a sweet and well-behaved dog is welcome) and already starting to understand that sweet, cuddly and cooperative behavior gets great things in life. Mango was one of the extremely lucky young dogs to master her socialization skills at a very early age and endear herself to the US rescuers. There was no way Mango could be left behind...we all had a clear picture of this sweet girl in a forever Colorado home with a family that cherishes her for life.

As Mango becomes comfortable in her home, she will become a fuzzy ball of good-will that loves to please - the happier her family is with her behavior, the more she will shine with her accomplishments. We would like to see Mango in a home that includes her in family time and activities (and some lap-time would be perfect!)... and takes that extra step to participate in positive reinforcement obedience classes. These classes take a very smart dog like Mango and molds them into a great family member that can behave appropriately in virtually any situation.

Mango would also be a wonderful companion for active retirees who have the time and desire to be best friends with a truly adorable young dog. Mango would enjoy walks along the beautiful Colorado paths with her favorite people. She would also love another very gentle dog to play with...she's so sweet and well meaning as she puts her positive energy into enjoying the day with a best friend.

Mango was identified as a Poodle/Bichon mix by her Tijuana rescuer (and we can see that mix as well). She is a shed-free dog (one of the best for those with allergy challenges) and will therefore require periodic grooming and great nutrition (a salmon oil supplement would be great) to keep her cotton-soft hair healthy and matt-free.

Mango is arriving on transport in Boulder in mid November. Applications are currently being accepted for our sweet girl with the dark, expressive eyes and inquisitive nature.
