CANDY

My story

Hiya! My name is CANDY and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Black Mouth Cur mix (best guess really!)  Age: Approximately 3 years Gender: Female Weight: 35 lbs (16 kg)  Height: 46 cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 53 cm (head to butt) Current Location: MEXICO CITY RESCUE STORY - My Rescuer found me near a carwash in Mexico City. I was in heat, surrounded by stray dogs, and visibly injured. As you can imagine, I was a bit disoriented and in need of some real help! I'm so thankful for my Rescuer who immediately had me checked out, turns out I had been in an accident (hit by a car, we think) and had a partially healed hip fracture and likely a head injury.  Some kind folks banded together and checked me into a special care facility for pups! Here I received the medical and rehabilitation attention needed to get me back into tip-top shape! Today I am a fully recovered, healthy, and happy gal!  TEMPERAMENT - During my recovery I learned to coexist with other dogs, but I can be a bit reactive at first. While I can gain confidence and become more comfortable over time, I am sometimes uncomfortable in social settings. My Rescuers think I would really thrive in a single dog household.  ENERGY LEVEL - Medium - I’m a medium energy gal! At first meet, I can be shy, but over time I become more comfortable and can be friendly and affectionate. I love humans and getting ALLLL the pets! Like in this video! I am so looking forward to finding my forever home, and getting all the love I deserve. Will that be with you?! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Unknown. I don’t have any known experience around kiddos.  Dogs –  Yes, I co-exist with dogs here at the shelter, but I can be a bit guarded. Check out videos of me with other pups here and here. Cats – No. I would not do well in a home with cats, sorry kitties!  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, but 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! Check out videos of me on a leash here, here, and here! House trained – Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) HEALTH NOTES: I am spayed, 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 $840.00 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.  WCP is unable to guarantee the accuracy of a dogs age and/or breed.
