Zuri

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 ZURI <br/>- AGE: 1.5 years old (estimated)<br/>- WEIGHT: 9 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/>We found Zuri darting through the middle of a very busy avenue, spinning in circles, overheated and terrified. Nobody could say where she came from or how long she'd been out there: only that she was on her own, way in over her head, and needed someone to stop.<br/><br/>Zuri was that frightened little dog. And she is not that dog anymore.<br/><br/>She's calm now, settled into her foster family, and has discovered that one of her favorite things in the world is a good play session with other dogs. She'll tumble and chase with the best of them, and there's something genuinely joyful about watching a dog who was once trembling in traffic now sprinting around a yard like she owns it.<br/><br/>Fair warning, though: Zuri has a policy. She's friendly, easygoing, and genuinely enjoys the company of other dogs, but she will not be pushed around. If another dog comes at her looking for trouble, size be damned, she holds her ground. It's not aggression; it's self-respect. She just knows what she's worth.<br/><br/>She'd do well in a home with other dogs, or as an only dog with someone who appreciates a confident little soul with a big sense of self.<br/><br/>Has Zuri just found the person who'll match her energy?<br/><br/><br/>*************************<br/>Ready to apply?
