My story

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

Hi friends! My name is Akira ('Aby' in Mexico) and here's more about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:

Breed: Shepherd mix

Age: approx 1 year 2 months

Gender: Female

Weight: 42lbs (19 kg)

Length: 60cm

Height: 50cm

Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico

RESCUE STORY - My foster is a kind hooman who provides shelter to many street doggos. One day I arrived on my own at her workplace, very undernourished and just a baby of about 4 months trying to survive on the streets. I had heard about this kind hooman and as she offered me the first bits of food and water I had had in a long time, I gazed up at her with sweet eyes that said "you rescue, right?". From that night on I have been able to make my own space in my foster's home, waiting and hoping to one day have a furever family of my own!

TEMPERAMENT - I am a calm, quiet and yet sociable pup. I love to play with my doggy friends and my favourite toys - which are plastic bottles, water jug caps, and toilet paper rolls (I'm a simple gal!). I am a very obedient pup and I live to please the hoomans around me. I have a 'natural charm' and am veryyyy affectionate. I really enjoy when my foster comes home from work and I get to cuddle up next to her and receive belly rubs and love! I also love to sleep, especially cuddled up next to a hooman. I really am the bestest girl!

ENERGY LEVEL - Medium

GETS ALONG WITH:

Kids – Yes!

Dogs – I get along well with other pups and currently live with many other doggos at my foster's house!

Cats – Yes!

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

TRAINING:

Leash skills – My rescuers say I am okay with my leash skills, however I may need some additional patience and training :)

House trained – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience.

Crate trained – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience.

Car rides – My rescuer says I am good with this but I 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 spayed and vaccinated.

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.
