RABITO's Story

Hola! My name is RABITO (which means "Little Tail") and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Lab mix Age: 3 years Gender: male Weight: 53 lbs (24 kg) Length (nose to butt): 82cm Height (paws to top of head): 74.5cm Current Location: MEXICO CITY RESCUE STORY - Hi there... I'm Rabito! My life started on the streets of Mexico with my brothers and sisters. We were just tiny puppies and didn't have our mama with us. We were very skinny and hungry, and life was pretty scary for little pups like us. Thankfully, kind rescuers found us and brought us to safety just in time. You can learn more about my heartbreaking rescue by watching this video. Since then, I've been living with my rescuer, growing up in a safe and caring home while I wait for my very own family. I've turned into a handsome 53-pound boy with a big heart and lots of love to give. For almost three years now, I've been watching other dogs find their forever homes while I keep hoping my turn will come. I don't know why I've been overlooked, but I still believe my perfect people are out there somewhere. I dream about having a cozy home, daily walks, and humans who will love me and let me love them right back. I promise to repay your kindness with loyalty, cuddles, and plenty of happy tail wags. Maybe my forever family is reading this right now. Could it be you? MARCH 2026 Update: Great news! I have had the opportunity to come live with a foster in North Vancouver, Canada! :) I'll be flying to Canada on April 2! TEMPERAMENT - I've grown out of my puppy “teenage phase” and matured into sweet young adult who would make a wonderful companion. I have a healthy energy level and would thrive with daily walks (or two)! In between adventures, I'm happy to relax, cuddle, and snooze nearby. I'm a gentle boy who really loves affection and being close to my people. I can be a little shy in busy settings at first, but I've come a long way with my confidence and am honestly pretty brave now! Once I feel safe, my loving personality shines through. I'm looking for patient, kind humans who will give me a little time to settle into my new life. With love, encouragement, and a predictable routine, I know I'll grow into the loyal and devoted companion I'm meant to be. Me and my siblings currently live at a foster home in the countryside. We get to go on walks where it is nice and quiet, so when we occasionally go into the city or busier neighbourhoods, we can be a bit timid (although I'm probs the most confident out of my siblings!) If I'm adopted by hoomans who live in the busy city, I'll just need some extra patience and love while I desensitize to the loud noises of city life. July 2024 Update - I have been making some trips into the city where I meet new humans (video), kiddos (video), and go to the park (video, video, video, video) March 2026 Update - YUP, I'm still available for adoption!!! Can you believe it?? I've officially reached "calm, good boy status" (video) in my young adulthood and am SO ready for my forever home! ENERGY LEVEL - Medium/High - I have classic young lab energy! I am the perfect adventure companion and would thrive with a good amount of mental and physical exercise daily. Don't worry, I've also got a lovely touch of "chill". I play hard but I crash hard too! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yup! Here is a video of me meeting some children. This is another video of me meeting a little girl at the park. NOTE: same with ALL dogs, I should be supervised around children. My humans need to advocate for my space and make sure I'm respected :) Dogs – I'm used to other puppies, but can adapt to bigger and older dogs. Here is a video of me with some doggos at the dog park and a video of me meeting other doggos on leash. Cats – Unknown PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I'm not too sure how I'll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – Work in progress. I can be more timid/skittish in louder, busier environments. My adopter should be willing to provide me with some training and lots of patience :) House trained – This is a work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and lots of positive reinforcement will help me learn good habits in my forever home. Crate trained – My siblings and I all sleep in crates at night with no problem. I may be hesitant to return to a crate after traveling on a plane in one, but with some positive reinforcement and slow reintroduction, I'm sure I'll remember my crate to be my safe space :) Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives. HEALTH NOTES: I have been spayed (Sept 2023), vaccinated, and microchipped. I will be tested for heartworm, distemper, parvo, and brucellosis before travelling. 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 including taxes (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.

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.
