CURRENTLY IN CANADA AND LOOKING FOR HOMES:
.

Flor

Female • Chihuahua X  •  2 years • 7 kg

Quite timid at first meeting, but will warm up over time, Flor is going to require some patience and confidence building. She still does not want to walk on leash, but her foster family is working on it.  She lived as a stray on the street for some time, so maybe has a bad experience behind her.  Flor is a sweet dog once she lets you get to know her.

In a foster home in the Highlands, Victoria, and getting along great with the grand child and big male poodle! 


ARRIVING VANCOUVER/VICTORIA DECEMBER 24
.

Greta

Female • Chihuahua X Heeler?  •  1 1//2 years• 6 kg

Picture
Greta is a medium energy dog, very playful and affectionate.She's doing well with her leash walking, and is getting the hang of being in a crate, which is necessary for her travel to Canada.  Greta really likes to be with her people, and if she sees you on the other side of the gate she'll tell you she's unhappy!  A little vocal, but not excessively.  She could live in a home with another dog, but we have not tested her with children or cats.  She'd enjoy a couple of walks a day.  

Perla

Female • Poodle x Dachshund  •  8 months• 7 kg

Perla is a super sweet "low-rider". Sometimes she forgets how short her legs are and will stumble when racing around the shelter's different levels!  She loves to play and makes it known to all by being very vocal.  Perla is still young and very much full of energy. She will require some training, house training, and work with being alone. She wants to be with you mostly all the time. It would be nice if she went to a home with active retired folks, or someone who works from home. 

Bigos

Female • Schnauzer x Dachshund  •  2 years• 10 kg

Picture
Bigos is still working on trusting new people and her home will need to be patient with her, and expect miracles from the get-go.  She barks a lot at new people, but after a couple of days will warm up.  Continued good experiences with people will help this little girl gain more confidence.  Bigos spent much of her early life chained up on a small patio and therefore did not receive much, if any, exposure to new people or experiences. She is still frightful while walking on the busy streets. Quiet roads would suit her better, and must be on leash for a long time. 


Pancho

Male •  Beagle Mix
10 months * 12 kilos

Moderate to high activity level, Pancho is a pretty well balanced guy, although a little shy, that gets along with other dogs and is friendly with humans, including children. But, not suited to a home with cats. A home that is willing to put in some effort building his confidence is what Pancho needs. A bit of a nose-follower, Pancho will also need work with recall. 
History: Left behind by his owners when they moved.



 
Below: dogs still in Mexico
Transport scheduled for February


Olive

Female • Weimaraner X  •  8 months • 13 kg

Olive is a moderately active and evenly tempered young female dog that interacts well with other dogs and is very playful.  She's not been tested with kids or cats. Olive could do well in a home with another dog, would enjoy daily walks and is also happy to laze around during the day.  
Available for transport in December or February.


Hugo

Male •  Old English Sheepdog Mix
3 years * 18 kilos

Now out of another shelter where he had been confined most of the day, Hugo is enjoying the space and play he gets with the other dogs at the Mex-Can shelter.  At first very cautious and apprehensive he is getting his confidence and understanding people aren't all bad.  Hugo is looking for a very special home, with someone who understands he may still have some fears, and that can work on continuing confidence building while providing structure.  Hugo reacts to strangers to the property by being very vocal.  He could scare people away.  He would do great in a home with plenty of space to run, possibly with a female canine companion, and a dog savvy guardian(s).  He is not suitable for a home with cats.  Although accepting pets from strangers while on walks, he is very tense.
History: Hugo was found at the age of three months, with two litter mates, tied up in a bag and left to die.




Manchita

Female •  Lab X Shepherd X Border Collie
1 year * 15 kilos

High energy young dog looking for a home, possibly with another dog, friendly with humans and other dogs. Manchita seeks a lot of attention from humans. She is not suitable for a home with cats. Would benefit from training and more socialization, and LOTS of exercise. Possible candidate for agility. Manchitas is a dog that's always with you, circling your feet, pushing other dogs aside for attention, jumping over gates, and in general looking for something to do.  Do you have the time to exercise and occupy this needy girl?
History: Surrendered to us when we heard the owner was going to dump her and her siblings in the countryside.
