GABO

Hola! My name is GABO and here is some info about me: PHYSICAL INFO: Breed: Boxer Mix Age: About 8 years Gender: Male Weight: 50 lbs (23 kg) Height: 71 cm (paws to top of my head) Length: 82 cm (head to butt) Current Location: MEXICO CITY RESCUE STORY - When I was just a puppy (about 8 months old) my "owners" abandoned me on a high-traffic main road; a place where dogs are often dropped by people wanting to get rid of us for good. I was so skinny and scared! Luckily, I was rescued by some wonderful hoomans, who took me to the shelter. I have been a good boy living in the shelter for the last SEVEN YEARS! I really hope that I can find my furever home soon! TEMPERAMENT - I am a happy, playful and well-behaved boy. I am very sweet and friendly with humans and dogs alike and I LOVE to go for walkies! I love to eat pretty well anything - but my favourite foods are sausages, tortillas, bread and carrots! I am so excited to snuggle and play with my new family! ENERGY LEVEL - Medium - I am a sweet and well-behaved boy who loves attention, playing and walkies! GETS ALONG WITH: Kids Unknown. Dogs Yes - I get along well with other dogs in my shelter and that I meet on walks. Cats Unknown. 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 Work in progress. I have been working on my leash skills, but I don't pull! 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! Gabo Meets other Dogs House trained Work in progress. Frequent potty breaks and positive reinforcement will help me learn housetraining in my new home :) Please Note: WCP highly encourages adopters to do some research and training on their own before their dog arrives. HEALTH NOTES: I am neutered, 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, particularly dogs who have lived for long periods at the shelter. 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 $728.00 CAD including taxes (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. These are strictly "best guesses" based on veterinary exams and their educated estimates.
