ELSA's Story

Hiya! My name is ELSA (and yes, my sister is Anna and yes, we are princesses). We are a BONDED PAIR and MUST go to a home together! Here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Lab Retriever mix (but really, we don't know what I am. A classic "mexi-mutt" I'd say!) Age: Approx. 1 year old Gender: Female Weight: 34 lbs (15 kg, but I will still grow a little!) Height: 60 cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 86 cm (head to butt) Neck: 37 cm Chest: 60 cm Current Location: Mexico City RESCUE STORY - I was found in the middle of the road with my sister, Anna. Our rescuer was on the way to work when she spotted us! We were only about a month old, so she took us with her to get us the help we needed! Since then, we have gone to work with our rescuer everyday. We love to play together (seriously, we love it!) so we need to be in a home together. We also get to go on these things they call "road trips". How cool is that! We love the car! We even get to go to restaurants down here in Mexico with our rescuer, so we get a lot of socialization. She is a super star and we are going to miss her so very much, but we know it means we are going to have an amazing life in the Pacific Northwest. TEMPERAMENT - I'm told I am more friendly and outgoing when it comes to meeting new people than my sister, Anna! I like to help show her that not everyone is a meanie :) But, when we're alone, I am more calm than she is. She gets much more energetic when it's just the two of us! Little sisters, you know how it is. I love human company, too. When our rescuer takes us out, I love to be pet. I am also very athletic! I love to jump and play, and I have done some training. I would love to do an agility class to see if I am any good at it! ENERGY LEVEL - High - I am a very energetic pup! I will need lots of mental and physical stimulation. I get a lot of that with my sister, but it would be so nice if our future family liked to adventure and go outdoors! We get to go to the doggy park almost every day right now and I love it. GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown in a home, yes on the streets. I've interacted with lots of kids when we're out and about, but I've never had one in the same house as me! Dogs – Yes, I love other dogs! Cats – Unknown in a home, yes on the streets. I've interacted with cats when we're out and about, but I've never had one in the same house as me! 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. TRAINING: Leash skills – Work in progress since I am a pup, but I'd say I am doing pretty good so far! House trained – Work in progress, but still pretty dang good! Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives. HEALTH NOTES: I am spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records. I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying North. 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 $784.00 CAD including tax ($700 + 5% GST and 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 its adoption process. 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. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person(s) adopting them and the environment in which they live. WCP is unable to guarantee the accuracy of a dogs age and/or breed. These are strictly "best guesses" based on veterinary exams and their educated estimates.

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.
