CARLA's Story

Hiya!! My name is Carla and here's more info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Mixed Lab Age: approx. 2 years Gender: Female Weight: 55 lbs (25 kg) (but might still grow a bit!) Length (nose to butt): 84cm Height (paws to top of head): 58cm Current Location: Mexico City, Mexico RESCUE STORY - My rescuers found me and my siblings on the streets of Mexico. We were incredibly young and were all alone, no mama to be found. We were very skinny and malnourished by the time we were rescued. You can learn more about our heartbreaking rescue by watching this video. Thank goodness we were rescued!! I've been living at my rescuers home ever since and am awaiting my chance to come to my forever home in the Pacific North West. Have you seen how ADORABLE my latest pics are?! I mean come on... look at me!! TEMPERAMENT - Since I'm a young gal, I have a healthy amount of energy and love to play! I am so eager for love and affection (video). I am looking for a patient, loving family who is ready for "all things puppy" - hoomans who are open to working with timiditiy, potential play nipping, high energy, housetraining and leash skills. I promise to repay you with loads of cuddles, kisses and tail wags! Me and my siblings live at a foster home in the countryside. We get to go on walks where it is nice and quiet, so when we occasionally go into the city or busier neighbourhoods, we can be a bit timid/skittish. If I'm adopted by hoomans who live in the city, I'll just need some extra patience and love while I desensitize to the loud noises of city life. July 2024 Update - I have been making some trips into the city where I meet new humans (video), kiddos (video), and go to the park (video, video, video, video) ENERGY LEVEL - Medium, classic young dogg-o energy with a touch of chill. I play hard but I crash hard too! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yup! Here is a video of me meeting some children. This is another video of me meeting a little girl at the park. same with ALL dogs, I should be supervised around children. My humans need to advocate for my space and make sure I'm respected :) Dogs – I'm used to other puppies but can adapt to bigger and older dogs. Here is a video of me with some doggos at the dog park and a video of me meeting other doggos on leash. Cats – Unknown PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I'm not too sure how I'll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – Work in progress. I can be more timid/skittish in louder, busier environments. My adopter must be willing to provide me with some training and lots of patience :) House trained – This is a work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and lots of positive reinforcement will help me learn good habits in my forever home. Crate trained – Not yet. I will need some training and patience. Car rides – I went on a road trip to the city for 1 hour and I got a bit car sick (lots of drool). I will likely need to be crated in the car or have some doggy Gravol before going on long trips. I'll likely get better with more exposure, but I'll just need my adopter to be patient with me :) HEALTH NOTES: I have been spayed (Sept 2023) and fully 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 ($750.00 + PST and GST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver. ------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and it's adoption process.

West Coast Paws Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy

WCP wholeheartedly believes in open communication with our adopters. We are always here to provide support and to join you in celebrating your dogs’ successes! Submit an Application - Start by clicking the “Adopt” button on a WCP dog’s profile. You will be redirected to an application form, which we ask you to fill out in as much detail as possible. Phone Interview - After your application is pre-screened, you will be contacted to arrange a Phone Interview. The purpose of the Phone Interview is to chat about the answers you provided on your application and to ask any clarifying questions. House Check - Once you have passed your Phone Interview, we will ask you to send us some photos of your home. Fear not, we don’t expect your house to look like a showhome! We are simply looking to see where your WCP pup would live and whether or not there are any potential safety hazards (escape areas etc.). Approval - Presuming you pass your House Check, you will receive an Adoption Approval email from our WCP Adoption Team. Deposit - A $100 CAD deposit is required in order for your dog to be reserved for you. Once we have received your deposit, we will update your dogs’ profile to show “Pending Adoption” and will stop accepting any further applications for him/her. At this point, we will notify the Rescuer that a home has been found and request that they start looking for a flight volunteer to bring your pup to Vancouver. Now you patiently wait for your dog to be booked on a flight. The Rescuer will work to find a traveller who is willing to add your dog as ‘extra luggage’ onto their ticket. We refer to these kind humans as “Flight Volunteers”. Meanwhile, your pup will be checked by a veterinarian who will issue a Certificate of Health and ensure your pup's shots are up to date. The vet will then approve the dog for travel and will provide all medical documentation, including your pup’s vaccination record. Flight Confirmation & Final Payment - Once the Rescuer finds a flight for your dog, WCP will send you an email with your pup’s flight information. We will also send you specific instructions regarding airport pickup such as where you need to park, what time you need to be there, and what you need to bring with you. Don’t worry, we will tell you everything you need to know! We require you to sign an Adoption Contract before you pick up your dog. Pickup & Take Your Pup Home - Your pup’s “gotcha” day is finally here! You will pick your dog up at the airport and take him/her home with you. Follow-Up & Post Adoption Support - Your WCP adoption experience doesn’t end the moment you take your dog home. We believe in providing ample post-adoption support and want to be a part of your dog’s journey. Within 7 days of taking your dog home, you can expect a phone call from our Follow-Up Team. If you need any help or support, WCP is here for you and your pup! WCP wholeheartedly believes in open communication with our adopters. We are always here to provide support and to join you in celebrating your dogs’ successes! There is no expiration date on our post-adoption support.
