AKIRA

My story

Hi friends! My name is Akira ('Aby' in Mexico) and here's more about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Shepherd mix Age: 11.5 months approx.  Gender: Female Weight: 42lbs (19 kg)  Length: 60cm  Height: 50cm  Current Location: Guadalajara Mexico RESCUE STORY - My foster is a kind hooman who provides shelter to many street doggos. One day I arrived on my own at her workplace, very undernourished and just a baby of about 4 months trying to survive on the streets. I had heard about this kind hooman and as she offered me the first bits of food and water I had had in a long time, I gazed up at her with sweet eyes that said "you rescue, right?". From that night on I have been able to make my own space in my foster's home, waiting and hoping to one day have a furever family of my own! TEMPERAMENT - I am a calm, quiet and yet sociable pup. I love to play with my doggy friends and my favourite toys - which are plastic bottles, water jug caps, and toilet paper rolls (I'm a simple gal!). I am a very obedient pup and I live to please the hoomans around me. I have a 'natural charm' and am veryyyy affectionate. I really enjoy when my foster comes home from work and I get to cuddle up next to her and receive belly rubs and love! I also love to sleep, especially cuddled up next to a hooman. I really am the bestest girl! ENERGY LEVEL - Medium GETS ALONG WITH: Kids – Yes! Dogs – I get along well with other pups and currently live with many other doggos at my foster's house! Cats – Yes! PREY DRIVE - Unknown. I’m not too sure how I’ll react around squirrels/rabbits etc. My adopter needs to be prepared and willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise. TRAINING: Leash skills – My rescuers say I am okay with my leash skills, however I may need some additional patience and training :) House trained – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience.  Crate trained – My rescuer says I am okay with this but I may need some additional training and patience.  Car rides – My rescuer says I am good with this but I may need some additional training and patience.  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. 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 it's adoption process.
