MACI's Story

Hola! My name is MACI and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Shepherd/Lab Mix (best guess really!) Age: approx. 5 years Gender: Female Weight: 35 lbs (16kgs) Height: 60 cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 75 cm (head to butt) Neck Circumference: 35 cm Current Location: MEXICO CITY 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! 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. 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! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown. 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)! 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! 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. TRAINING: 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! House trained – Work in progress. 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/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records. 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! 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 $728.00 ($650 + GST & 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.
