Story
Hiya friends! My name is MALIKA and here is some info about me:
PHYSICAL INFO:
Breed: Chihuahua mix
Age: Approx. 2 years
Gender: Female
Weight: 14.5 lbs (6.5 kg)
Height: 48 cm (paws to top of my head)
Length: 56 cm (head to butt)
Neck: 26 cm
Chest: 48 cm
Current Location: MEXICO CITY
RESCUE STORY - I was left abandoned outside of the shelter, along with my newborn puppies, Kai, Keiko and Hanna. As a new momma, I was understandably scared being left to the unknown! We were found by our Rescuer in a dirty box with a note that my pups had been born just one day earlier! Can you imagine?! I was quite sad and wasn’t able to feed my puppies until I felt comfortable. Thank goodness for our Rescuer! Now we’re all safe and well cared for!
TEMPERAMENT - My Rescuer says I’m the busiest member of the family and quite the social butterfly! I adore attention from hoomans, a little lovin’ and I’ll be your best pal! I also get along quite well with other dogs, but especially doggos my size!
ENERGY LEVEL - Medium - While I love to walk and play, I’m also happy to relax and give cuddles! I’m a medium energy kinda gal, ready to settle in with my forever family. Who’s ready to give momma Malika allll the love she deserves?!
GETS ALONG WITH:
Kids – Unknown. I don't have much known exposure to kiddos just yet.
Dogs – Yes! I live with many dogs here at the shelter, including my pups Kai and Keiko (Hanna was adopted, yay!)! I do tend to stick with doggos my size.
Cats – Unknown. I haven’t had any known exposure to kitties.
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 – Pretty good! I will need an adopter who is happy to work on polishing up my leash manners, but as you can see, I'm doing well (video 1, video 2, video 3)! 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 Dog Rescue partners with Unleashed Dog Training (Hannah Swain, Balanced Dog Trainer) to offer adopters 50% off one training session (not including tax and applicable gas surcharges). Any subsequent sessions will be offered at standard rates. WCP also highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.
HEALTH NOTES:
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 $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes, 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.
