CHICO's Story

Hey everyyyone! My name's Chico (Cucho in Mexico) and here's my info: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Border Collie mix Age: 2 years 7 months approx. Gender: Male Weight: 50lbs (24 kg) Height: 70cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 80cm (head to butt) Current Location: Mexico City, Mexico RESCUE STORY - I was a puppy of one month old when my previous 'family' abandoned me in a bad state by leaving me in a garbage can...Thankfully, a kind lady found me and was able to care for me until I regained my full health. When I was found, I was covered in fleas and very thirsty and hungry. It took some time until I got my full energy back and boy, do I have a lot of it! I would do well in a home with an active family that enjoys lots of outings and can provide me with an active lifestyle! TEMPERAMENT - I am the alpha male in my dog pack, and I'm also a very happy pup who loves to play with my pals (doggos and hoomans alike)! I especially enjoy toys, including plastic bottles and bottle caps. I'm very active and loooove to go on long runs to get all my energy out. Although I am an active pup, I also like to curl up inside my doghouse in the evenings and nap on my bed, in close proximity to the hoomans. ENERGY LEVEL - High GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – No thank you! I was fostered in a home with kids who did not respect my personal space much. As a result, I am not a fan of kids! Dogs – I get along well with other pups and currently live with many other doggos! 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: NOTE: Perhaps due to my past, I can be nervous around men, and need a proper and patient introduction to warm up to people (and then I'm super sweet as you can see here!) Leash skills – I do okay with my leash skills as you can see here, however I may need some additional patience and training. A double leash (with a secure harness) is recommended when I go for walks as I can get nervous in new environments and may be a flight risk. 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 not so familiar with this and I may need some additional training and patience. Car rides – My rescuer says I am not so familiar with this and 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. ------------------------------------- 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.
