DORITO

Hola amigos! My name is DORITO and here is some info about me:<br/><br/>PHYSICAL INFO:<br/><br/><br/> Breed: Shepherd / Labrador Mix<br/> Age: 4 years old (Est. DOB: June 2022)<br/> Gender: Male<br/> Weight: 55.8 lbs (25.3 kg) <br/> Height: 66 cm from paws to top of my head, 55cm from paws to top of my shoulders<br/> Length: 79 cm (head to butt)<br/> Neck: 41 cm<br/> Chest: 71 cm<br/> Current Location: MEXICO CITY<br/><br/><br/>RESCUE STORY - My story hasn't been a fairytale so far, but I'm hoping that will change soon! I was found abandoned outside a gated community in Mexico, likely because of my epilepsy. Luckily, a kind rescuer stepped in and took me to a pawsome foster home in November 2025! I've been patiently waiting to make a big move to Canada and can't wait to call it my furever home <br/><br/>I know the word "epilepsy" can sound scary, but I'm here to show you that it doesn't define me! I have idiopathic epilepsy, which is beautifully managed with medication (which I take like an absolute champ, I must say!) I take Phenobarbital with breakfast and dinner, and Potassium Bromide with dinner. My foster mom has also incorporated natural, holistic support into my routine, with daily MCT oil and a delicious, frozen sugar-free Greek yogurt lick mat every night before bed – yum!! Thanks to this routine, a healthy weight-control diet, play time and daily walks, I have found my normal and am happily seizure-free so far!<br/><br/>TEMPERAMENT – I am a sweet, social, and playful boy! I'm a big fan of car rides and will happily join you for any errand or adventure - as long as you can help me with a lil lift if you have a SUV or truck, as I'm a short legged guy! At the end of the day, all I want is to cuddle up and snooze next to my favourite humans. My foster mom says I've shown no resource guarding with my human friends – I'm just a happy go-lucky pup!<br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL – Medium. I absolutely LOVE my toys and spend every morning and evening playing with them for about 20 minutes straight (video) before getting tuckered out and settling down for a well-deserved nap. (video)<br/><br/>GETS ALONG WITH:<br/><br/><br/> Kids – Unknown. I don't know how I would do with a kiddo around full-time, but I have met small humans before! (video)<br/> Dogs – Yes, I currently live with two other dogs in my foster home! While my Russell-Chihuahua mix foster brother can sometimes get on my nerves, I loves initiating playtime with my Great Dane foster sister as you can see here! Overall, I would thrive in a home with a calm, larger dog, or as your one-and-only spoiled pup!<br/> Cats – Yes, but no videos of the interactions yet! Along with my puppy house mates, I also live with two cats! I haven't been too interested in them and we've co-existed peacefully so far.<br/> <br/> If an applicant for me has cats, we can request videos for you!<br/> <br/> <br/><br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>TRAINING:<br/><br/><br/> Leash skills – Work in progress. I love going on walks, either solo with my human or joined by other four-legged friends! I haven't shown nervousness on busy streets because I'm a brave boy! Since there's always room for improvement, I will need an adopter who is happy to work with me on my leash manners. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success!<br/> House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home!<br/><br/><br/>Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives. <br/><br/>HEALTH NOTES:<br/><br/><br/> I am neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records.<br/> I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying to Canada.<br/> I have Idiopathic epilepsy, which is currently controlled with following schedule: 1 pill of Phenobarbital in the A.M. and P.M., and 1 pill of Potassium Bromide with dinner. I've also had daily MCT oil and a frozen sugar-free Greek yogurt lick mat incorporated into my diet for holistic health!<br/> <br/> Given my condition, it is suggested that I go for blood tests every six months to check how my body is handling the treatment. <br/> <br/> <br/> 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.<br/><br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE:<br/><br/><br/> My adoption fee is $728.00 CAD including tax ($650 + 5% GST, 7% PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.<br/><br/><br/>-------------------------------------<br/><br/>DISCLAIMER:<br/><br/>Please visit wcpdogrescue.com to read about West Coast Paws Dog Rescue and its adoption process.<br/><br/>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.
