MACI

Hola! My name is MACI and here is some info about me:<br/><br/>PHYSICAL INFO:<br/><br/><br/> Breed: Shepherd/Lab Mix (best guess really!)<br/> Age: approx. 5 years<br/> Gender: Female<br/> Weight: 35 lbs (16kgs) <br/> Height: 60 cm (paws to top of my head)<br/> Length: 75 cm (head to butt)<br/> Neck Circumference: 35 cm<br/> Current Location: MEXICO CITY<br/><br/><br/>RESCUE STORY - I was found begging for food on the side of a highway between Mexico City and the city of Puebla. I was extremely skinny and malnourished; my rescuers could tell I had spent a lot of time on the street. I also showed signs of having recently had puppies, but sadly my puppies were nowhere to be found. Despite my deteriorated physical state, I didn't show any signs of fear or aggression. I was taken to the vet where I was always calm and friendly, which made it easier for them to give me an extensive check-up. I have been living at a doggie pension since August 2023. I am very well taken care of here (we even have a dog behaviorist who helps assess and socialize all of us rescue pups!), but I am SO ready to go to my forever home!<br/><br/>TEMPERAMENT - I am a very social gal who loves other dogs and people!! I can be a bit nervous and aloof upon first introductions, but once I know you have treatos and gentle pats, I'll show my true friendly, happy-go-lucky self! (video) I'm highly adaptable, very affectionate, and LOVE human attention. I don't have any resource-guarding issues and I'm used to eating my meals surrounded by other dogs without a problem. I even share a water bowl nicely! (video) I love going for long walks but I also just enjoy laying in the sunshine and napping (what girl wouldn't!) I am such a wonderful doggo who is so deserving of a loving home. <br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL - Medium - I play hard and crash hard. I'm the perfect combo of adventure and chill - once I've had some exercise I am more than happy to snooze and cuddle!<br/><br/>GETS ALONG WITH:<br/><br/><br/> Kids – Unknown. <br/> Dogs – Yes! I am living at a doggy pension where I have lots of daily exposure to other dogs. When wrestling with my doggy friends, I am not remotely aggressive however I can be a bit "nippy" in my play style. I will do extra well with playmates who match my energy, like my friend Pippa (video)!<br/> Cats – No thank you! I met some cats here in Mexico and unfortunately I lunged, barked, and growled at them... so no bueno to sharing a home with feline friends please! <br/><br/><br/>PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I'm not too sure how I'll react around cats/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 – Pretty good! You can see in my video that I am a pretty good little walker and I love to get out on my leash! I pull a bit but am not reactive towards cars of people passing by. Here is a video of me walking with my pal Pippa (video). A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help continue my 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 spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records.<br/> In August of 2024, I presented secretions from my mammary glands. The vet performed an abdominal ultrasound and found cysts in my ovaries, so I was spayed. I am now healthy, fully vaccinated, dewormed and have no known health issues!<br/> I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying North.<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/>ADOPTION FEE:<br/><br/><br/> <br/> My adoption fee is $728.00 ($650 + GST & PST), which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.<br/> <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. 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. <br/><br/>WCP is unable to guarantee the accuracy of a dogs age and/or breed.
