Hiya! My name is CHIA and here is some info about me:

PHYSICAL INFO:

Gender: Female
Weight: 55 lbs (24.6 kg)
Height: 74 cm (paws to top of my head)
Length: 88 cm (head to butt)

Current Location: MEXICO CITY


RESCUE STORY - My rescue story is all too common, I was found wandering the streets near Chalco, Mexico. At time of rescue I was suffering from a severe bit injury, I was in heat and overall in pretty rough shape. My rescuers think I had been used for breeding then discarded, who could do that to a sweet girl like me?! I was transported to the animal hospital where I stayed for 15-days recovering from my injury and gaining strength. Today, I am fully healed and ready to start living the beautiful life I deserve!

TEMPERAMENT - Despite my rough start, my rescuer says I hold no grudges and have lots of love to give! It's true! You could also say I'm a social butterfly! I get along well with humans and my fellow pups here at the shelter, even new people! I am a true cuddle bug and will politely offer you my paw for more attention, like in this video!

ENERGY LEVEL - Medium/Low - While I do enjoy to be fun and playful, my rescuer describes me as a chill pup who is deeply affectionate. I'm happy to just lounge and be loved! Here is a video of me relaxing with my friends at the shelter. Another fun fact about me - my favorite treat is carrots! I eat in a communal space and show no signs of resource guarding. I'm a gentle gal in search of a loving family of my very own, as I have so much love to give!

GETS ALONG WITH:


Kids – Unknown, I don't have any known experience around kiddos just yet!
Dogs – Yes! Here is a video of me greeting a familiar dog, and here is a video of me meeting a new dog.
Cats – Yes, check out this video of me greeting a cat!


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'm still learning! 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! Watch videos of me walking on a leash 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.

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.

The Old English Sheepdog, known for its distinctive coat and friendly demeanor, is a large, intelligent breed with a playful nature. These dogs have a loving personality, making them excellent family pets and companions. Regular grooming is essential for their thick, shaggy coat, which requires consistent care to prevent matting. Old English Sheepdogs are known for their adaptability and are well suited for both city and country living, provided they receive ample exercise and socialization.
