PERLITA

My story

Hello! My name is PERLITA and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: German Brocco Shorthaired Pointer mix Age: 7 months approx. Gender: Female Weight: 20 lbs (9 kgs)  Current Location: Guadalajara, Mexico RESCUE STORY - I was found roaming the highway of Paracho (a little town in Michoacan, Mexico) where it is very dangerous for a small pup like me to be running so close to so many fast cars. Thankfully, I was rescued and taken to a safer place to be cared for while I wait to be brought to my new forever home! You can see a video of me here when I was rescued, I was so happy someone was showing us love and attention! TEMPERAMENT - I am said to be very sweet! I love to cuddle a lot, especially hugs and I tend to fall asleep if I'm cuddled and pet, just like a baby! Since I am still a puppy, I love to play and I can get a little ahead of myself with other dogs and be rough but I am still growing and learning! I am very playful but sometimes I prefer to stay inside and even play on my own. Sometimes if I don't know a dog I will bark until I get to know them better and once I do, I am very friendly! I love toys and I especially love stuffed animals. ENERGY LEVEL - Moderate - I am a playful, young puppy who needs a good amount of physical and mental stimulation in the day and once I get enough, I am ready to sleep and cuddle lots! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown (No video footage provided, but can be requested!) Dogs –  Yup! I get along well with the other dogs at the shelter and love to play! Here is a video of me playing wiith some friends. Cats – Unknown PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around cats/squirrels/rabbits etc., so my adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. I do tend to bark when other dogs steal my toys but barking is said to be low. TRAINING: Leash skills – Work in progress. I'm looking for an adopter who will show me the ropes and teach me how to be a superstar on leash. A well-fitted harness and some dedicated leash training will help me be successful! Here are some videos of me doing well on leash! House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) Car rides – My rescuer says I am calm and curious but I have tried to jump out the window before! I may need some additional training and patience. You can see a short clip of me here in the car! Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives.  HEALTH NOTES: I am spayed and vaccinated. I will come to Canada with proof of all my vaccines and test records. 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 CAD (including 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. 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.  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.  ##2354987##
