RONALDO's Story

HOLA! My name is RONALDO and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Labrador mix Age: Approx. 7 years old Gender: Male Weight: 78 lbs (35 kg) Height: 65 cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 84 cm (head to butt) Chest: 84 cm Neck: 44 cm Current Location: MEXICO CITY RESCUE STORY - My rescue story begins in Ixtapan de la Sal where I was found abandoned in a garbage dump when I was about 1 year old. Just thrown out with the trash, I can't believe it either! It was just awful, and my condition was very poor (see rescue photos, and video), but I was scooped up at just the right time and transported to my now-home in Mexico City. When I was rescued my immune system was in desperate need of some TLC, and I had scabies! I was briefly hospitalized and received much-needed veterinary care. Now I'm all healed up (see healthier puppy video here), living at the shelter where I've been a resident for over FIVE years! TEMPERAMENT - Since my life started off a little rocky, I reallllly enjoy the finer things in life, like walks and TREATS! I'm known around the shelter as the “Cookie Monster” and love a good doggy biscuit. Well, I may have had one too many cookies because, as you can see in my photos, I'm a tad on the heavier side. My adopter will need to help me with a slow introduction to regular exercise and a nice healthy diet! Hehe! ENERGY LEVEL - Low to Medium - My favorite pastime is walking with hoomans! I adore the volunteers at the shelter and get super excited when I hear them arriving. I am playful, affectionate (check out this video), and a bit of a smarty-pants if I do say so myself! And while I love to walk and play, I'm a bit of a low-energy guy and equally enjoy laying low near my pals and hooman volunteers. It's been a long wait at the shelter and I am SO ready to be adopted and have a forever-family of my very own! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown. No known information on my interactions with kiddos. Dogs – You betcha! I live with many dogs at the shelter, I even have some best friends! We enjoy playing and sleeping near each other! Check out these videos of me and my pals at the dog park: here, here, and here Cats – Yes! I'm friendly with kitties, too! Here is a video of me meeting a cat! PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I'm not too sure how I'll react around 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! I walk with several other doggos from the rescue, and my Rescuer says I'm calm on walks (like in this video!). I'll likely need to polish up my skills once I'm adopted, and will need an adopter who is happy to work with me on my manners! 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 neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records. 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 CAD including tax (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.

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.
