My story

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

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



PHYSICAL INFO:




  • Breed: Labrador mix

  • Age: approx 1 year 7 months approx. 

  • Gender: Male

  • Weight: 45lbs (20 kg) 

  • Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico



RESCUE STORY - Not too much is known of my backstory but I was found living on the streets of Guadalajara as a puppy alongside another doggo friend of mine (who has since been adopted). It's possible that I had a family once, since I am so sweet and loving and no stranger to hoomans. My rescuer certainly thought I was too sweet a pup to be on the streets! Since she took me in, I've been doing very well, have been vetted and got a clean bill of health and have been waiting patiently for my chance at a furever family and a loving home to call my own!



TEMPERAMENT -  I am know around here for my trademark smile! My rescuer also says I am a very active, playful, and obedient pup who absolutely loves being around hoomans. I am affectionate, social, and an incredibly gentle soul who enjoys hooman contact and companionship immensely. I even get along wonderfully with other pups and have a very special way of interacting with them. You see, I'm known as a little “peacekeeper” - if I see two dogs having an issue, I calmly step in to mediate! With puppies, I am especially tender and know how to control my strength. I can be a bit clumsy at times, which I have been told is "all part of the charm"! I ride calmly in a car and respond very well to treats and to a confident, loving voice. I would make a wonderful best buddy to anyone willing to open their hearts to me and give me the life I deserve!



ENERGY LEVEL - Medium - High



GETS ALONG WITH:




  • Kids – Unknown (no video footage provided) but due to my high energy and tendency towards clumsiness it may be better for me to be in a home without young children!

  • Dogs – I get along very well with other pups as you can see!

  • Cats – Unknown



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 as you can see here, 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 neutered 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.
