Malva

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 MALVA <br/>- AGE: 10 months old (estimated)<br/>- WEIGHT: 21 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/>She was found in a housing complex full of abandoned and sick dogs a place where being found at all was already a stroke of luck. Malva arrived skin and bones, battling mange, fleas, and a fever that had taken hold of her small body. The question then wasn't whether she'd thrive. It was whether she'd survive.<br/><br/>But she did more than just survive. "She already plays, her weight is up, and her coat grew back" says her foster, Susana. "She looks happier. She's thriving." <br/><br/>Malva is a collector at heart. Her favorite toys, plus the occasional plastic bottle or can she's claimed as her own, get carried to her bed and arranged just so, a small ritual she takes very seriously. <br/><br/>She'll wrestle gleefully with other dogs, tackle a toy solo if no one's up for it, and then wander over to you with that classic terrier look: equal parts charm and mischief. She's affectionate without being clingy, independent without being indifferent.<br/><br/>She doesn't love being alone for long stretches, but she handles it well when she needs to. What she really wants is a home with life in it: another dog to play with, or some people who will spend quality time with her.<br/><br/>For a puppy who started life in one of the worst places, Malva has figured out fast that the world also holds good things. She just needs a family to show her the rest of them.<br/><br/>Could that family be yours?<br/><br/>*************************<br/>Ready to apply?
