RESCUE STORY – I was rescued in December 2023 from a gas station in Tlanepantla, Mexico. I was in heat and all the other local stray dogs were following me around, it was so scary for me. I was very dirty, thin, and had fleas. Thankfully, my rescuers swooped in and saved me. I got spayed and am now well taken care of at the shelter. Boy am I ever ready for my bright, happy, love-filled future!
TEMPERAMENT - I am a sweet, loving girl who can be a bit of an attention hog, what can I say! I love to be petted first before all the other dogs (and if you ignore me, I may bark at you until you pet me, hehe). My rescuer describes me as having a noble characted; I am also smart and obedient and I really want to please people. I am the first to interact with humans who come to visit, however I need some time before I fully trust them. Go at my pace and I'm sure I'll warm up in no time (and then I'll be demanding pets!) I loveee chicken, apples, and tortillas for snackies (video). I like to play with my chihuahua friends at the shelter and I prefer to sleep alone in my kennel with the door open at night. I have a stuffed bear in my kennel, who I love to snuggle up with. I like to travel in the car too! Sometimes, I like to climb up on top of the kennels at the shelter and look at all the other doggies (there's 100+ of them!)
ENERGY LEVEL - medium energy - I'm pretty average in terms of energy! I require walks and play time, but then I'm happy to cuddle up and snooze.
GETS ALONG WITH:
Kids – Unknown.
Dogs – I'm a pretty neutral girl around other dogs. Aside from my select few chihuahua friends, I mostly just peacefully coexist with the other dogs here. I don't try to play, but I don't cause any trouble either. I really just want human affection! Here's a video of me in the courtyard with some of the bigger dogs at the shelter.
Cats – Unknown
TRAINING:
Leash skills – I am pretty timid on leash and quite unsure of the whole thing, if I'm being honest. Check out this video of me so you can get an idea of how I do on leash. I am looking for a calm, confident adopter who can show me the ropes of leash walking. With time, I have no doubt I'll learn to love walkies and will be happy to explore my surroundings!
House trained – Not yet! With 100+ dogs at the shelter, I don't get the 1-on-1 attention needed to achieve house training status. Positive reinforcement and lots of frequent bathroom breaks will help me learn new habits in my forever 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 and vaccinated. I have proof of all my vaccines and test records.
I receive a monthly pill to prevent heartworm.
ADOPTION FEE:
My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD + applicable taxes.
