GARY's Story

Hiya! My name is GARY and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Shepherd mix Age: Approx. 8-months Gender: Male Weight: 60 lbs (27 kg) Height: 66 cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 85 cm (head to butt) Neck: 42 cm Chest: 74 cm Current Location: Mexico City Keep in mind I am just a puppy, and am still a growing boy! Hehe! RESCUE STORY - My siblings and I were born on the streets of Huehuetoca, near Mexico City. We were discovered living in a vacant lot by kind guards who reached out to our (now) shelter for help. My family and I were in need of some TLC when we were rescued. I was dehydrated and had parasites, yikes! Despite these circumstances, I was still described as a cheerful, happy puppy! We all received the medical are we needed, and I'm now perfectly healthy and ready for my forever home! TEMPERAMENT - My rescuers describe me as a happy-go-lucky social butterfly! I am very friendly and love saying hello to new people and animals. I adore attention and will gladly receive ALLLL of the belly rubs you have to give! I live with lots of pups here at the shelter and don't show signs of jealousy. I also eat in a communal space and, while I am very food motivated, I don't show any signs of resource guarding. Check out this video! ENERGY LEVEL - Medium/High - I am a puppy with all the puppy energy! I play well with dogs big and small, but I'm not too rough! While I love to play with other pups and even share my toys, I also enjoy calmer moments of solo play. I am a happy, confident boy with a zest for live, what's not to love?! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yes! Here's a video of me getting a quick pet from a kiddo! Also see our photo! Dogs – You betcha! I have lots of doggie pals here at the shelter! Here's a video of me sharing attention with some pups on the street! Cats – Yes, I get along with kitties too! Videos of me meeting a cat here, here, here and here. 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 – Looking pretty good! Check out this video. I will need an adopter who is happy to polish up my leash skills. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success! House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) HEALTH NOTES: I am neutered, 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 $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 its adoption process.

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.

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.
