Guero

The MexiMutt Project is an initiative of Born Again Pit Bull Rescue. Millions of dogs live on the streets in Mexico, and our rescue works at the source through spay/neuter programs, rescue, medical care, and adoption into loving homes.<br/>- Since 2019, we have matched over 500 dogs with loving homes & spayed/neutered over 3,500 dogs in Mexico.<br/>- All of our dogs are currently in foster care in Guadalajara, Mexico. They are listed in Oregon for adoption purposes because our rescue is based there.<br/>- Once an adoption is approved, the dog will fly to Portland, Oregon (PDX). Most dogs arrive within 2-4 weeks after approval, depending on flight availability. <br/><br/>INTERESTED IN ADOPTING? Please fill out an application at: www.bapbr.org/apply<br/>(We are unable to respond to adoption inquiries submitted through Petfinder)<br/><br/>**************************<br/>Meet GUERO <br/>- AGE: 1.5 years old (estimated)<br/>- WEIGHT: 33 lbs<br/>- GOOD WITH KIDS who know to respect a dog's space and belongings.<br/>- HOUSEBROKEN? Not 100% yet. As rescues that lived outdoors, they'll need some time to adjust. Most adapt within 1-2 weeks of consistent training.<br/>- The breed listed is our best guess (since they're rescues!)<br/><br/>Someone found Guero on a street corner in Chapala on Christmas Eve - a young dog with small healed bites on his body and a swollen right eyelid, standing alone like he'd been waiting for someone to notice him. His foster, Daniela, was that someone.<br/><br/>He came with a few marks from whatever life he'd had before. But what struck Daniela right away was that he didn't seem to carry the weight of any of it. From his very first day, he wanted to play. No cautious circling, no adjustment period - just a stocky, cheerful bulldog mix ready to get on with the good stuff.<br/><br/>"He loves being petted more than almost anything," Daniela says, and she means it. Guero will find a hand, a lap, any available stretch of human warmth, and lean into it with his whole body. Scratch behind his ears and his eyes go soft. <br/><br/>His days run on a simple loop: play hard, nap deeply, eat well, repeat - ideally with someone nearby for regular check-ins and chin scratches.<br/><br/>He's bright and attentive, the kind of dog who figures things out once he understands what's expected.<br/><br/>Guero is good with other dogs and kids, and easy to be around in all the ways that matter. He fills a space - not with noise or chaos, but with that steady, tail-wagging presence that makes a house feel more like home.<br/><br/>Could your home be the one he's been waiting on since that Christmas Eve corner?<br/><br/>*************************<br/>Ready to apply?
