The Meximutt Project is on a mission to help Mexico’s street dogs! Established in 2019 under the Portland-based organization Born Again Pit Bull Rescue, we now support 1,000+ dogs each year through free spay/neuter programs, adoptions, food, and medical care. <br/><br/>In Mexico over 70% of the 18 million dogs are estimated to live on the street. By adopting a Meximutt, you will not only be welcoming a loving companion but also supporting our efforts to control the street dog population and help thousands of dogs in need. <br/><br/>****INTERESTED IN ADOPTING? Please read all of the following information carefully and fill out the application at www.bapbr.org. We cannot respond to the inquiries made through Petfinder.****<br/><br/>============================================<br/><br/>AMANDA is currently in Guadalajara, Mexico in foster care. We are listing this dog for adoption now so that we can find him/her the perfect family BEFORE arriving to Oregon. Once we have an adopter lined up for this dog, we will book a flight to PDX. Please note: It can take 2-4 weeks to arrange for the dog to fly to Oregon due to the CDC and USDA customs import paperwork.<br/><br/><br/><br/>NAME: Amanda<br/><br/>AGE: 3 years old (estimated by our veterinarian based on their teeth).<br/><br/>WEIGHT: 12 lbs<br/><br/>BREED: Chihuahua / Miniature Pinscher Mix (This is our best guess, we don’t know for sure, since he/she was a street dog.)<br/><br/>DOGS: Yes<br/><br/>CATS: She doesn't like them, but won't hurt them<br/><br/>KIDS: Yes, but please remember that kids need to know to be respectful of the dog’s space, bodies, and toys/food.<br/><br/>HOUSEBROKEN: No, not 100% yet -- Please keep in mind that our dogs are rescued off the streets, they are NOT always 100% housebroken and will need time and patience to adjust. Even in a foster home in Mexico, the dogs are often living in an environment with no carpet or grass or living outside. In the house, it is usually tile flooring and outside it is dirt/concrete. Most of our dogs transition well and only need about 1-2 weeks to get on a potty schedule/routine.<br/><br/>LEASH TRAINED: Not yet, working on it -- most dogs in Mexico have never walked on a leash before, she will need to be desensitized to leash walking and you will need to work on it slowly with them.<br/><br/><br/>ABOUT: Amanda was found in an abandoned house — scared, and covered in ticks. Since then, she’s been shown love, and now she’s learning to trust again.<br/><br/>At first, Amanda is a bit shy and cautious. But once she warms up, she becomes incredibly affectionate — the kind of dog who’ll gently follow you from room to room just to be near you. She’s calm, quiet (not a barker!), and loves sleeping soundly inside on her cozy dog bed.<br/><br/>Amanda is adaptable with other dogs, prefers to steer clear of cats (though she won’t hurt them), and based on her gentle nature, she’d likely do fine with kids. She can stay in a crate for short periods but would much rather be by your side.<br/><br/>Her ideal home is one filled with love, patience, and companionship — a place where she won’t be left alone for long and can finally feel safe and cherished.<br/><br/>============================================<br/><br/>IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY: <br/><br/>Our adoption program is exclusive and personal.
