SARITA's Story

Hello! My name is Sarita and here is some info about me:<br/><br/>PHYSICAL INFO:<br/><br/><br/> Breed: Australian Kelpie mix<br/> Age: 2 years 1 month approx<br/> Gender: Female<br/> Weight: 39.68 lbs (18 kg) <br/> Current Location: Guadalajara, Mexico<br/><br/><br/>RESCUE STORY - I was rescued from a shelter that was in terrible condition and severely overcrowded, with over 200 dogs under the care of an elderly man who wouldn't accept help. Sadly, he passed away, leaving the dogs alone, but that allowed several rescuers to step in and save us! While still at the shelter, I went into heat, so I was immediately taken and spayed. I was covered in fleas and tested positive for Ehrlichia. But I thank my lucky stars for my rescuers because I have now recovered physically and emotionally! <br/><br/>TEMPERAMENT - I'm a bit shy at first but since being rescued, I have learned to warm up and trust that I am okay! I really enjoy playing with both dogs and people! I am friendly but shy at first, then very sociable once I know I am safe. I can bark here and there when I am playing! At my foster house, I enjoy lounging on the couch and being in the yard with the other dogs. I also love toys - especially squeaky toys or ones that make sounds! Here I am getting scratches! <br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL – Moderate<br/><br/>GETS ALONG WITH:<br/><br/><br/> Kids – Unknown<br/> Dogs – Yes! <br/> Cats –Unknown<br/><br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>TRAINING:<br/><br/><br/> Leash skills – My foster says I have been very good on the leash so far! I will need an adopter who is happy to work with me on my leash manners. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help set me up for success!<br/> Crate Trained – Yes but some work may still need to be done on this when I come to Canada and go through such a big change!<br/> House trained – Currently trained to go in the yard however some work may still need to be done on this when I come to Canada and go through such a big change! Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) <br/> Car ride – I am said to be calm in the car, although it is not my favourite thing. <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/> Vaccines: DHPP (core multi-vaccine), rabies, and Bordetella<br/> Tests: Hemoparasites<br/> Dewormers: Yes<br/> Prevention against fleas/ticks & Heartworm Prevention: NexGard<br/> Dental check-up/cleaning: No<br/> Injuries/X-rays/Surgeries: None<br/> I will be tested for Heartworm etc. before flying to Canada.<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/> My adoption fee is $840 (750.00 CAD + applicable taxes) which includes my airfare, if a flight volunteer is found directly to Vancouver.<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. These are strictly "best guesses" based on veterinary exams and their educated estimates.

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.
