Tiny Tim - In a BC foster & looking for a loving FURever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/editor/a-main-tiny-tim.jpg?1708386454)
Tiny Tim and his sister Panela had a really rough ride at first. Originally a wonderful person reached out to us informing us that there were a litter of 7 tiny shepherd mix puppies on the street and that 3 of them had already been run over and killed in traffic, they were able to save the remaining 4 and we were able to take 2 of the puppies and another rescue took the other 2. Their blood values were absolutely abysmal, their organs were failing and sadly it was too late for Tiny Tim’s sibling, who we named Mina. Even with a blood transfusion from one of our big healthy dogs she didn’t make it. We couldn’t save her but we tried very hard as did our vets, and we tried to take solace in the fact that she knew love and warmth in her final days. We were still in contact with their rescuers who were also very sad to learn about Mina’s passing, and told us that one of the two that had gone to another rescue had also died. Tiny Tim had started to improve and since each of the sibling pairs were now all alone, we asked whether we could reunite them so that they could lean on each other as well as us for morale and healing.
So Tiny Tim and Panela were reunited and both began to really thrive and are now happy, squishy, bouncy, fun, and healthy puppies weighing about 15kg each and are roughly 7 months old.
Tiny Tim has the paler face of the two and is just the sweetest boy on planet earth, he loves being held like a baby and will press his head against your neck quietly until you are done with the cuddle. He is good on leash, and confident and adaptable out in the world, he lives with 10 other dogs and goes to doggy daycare 2 days a week which he loves. He lived with cats up until a month ago and didn´t mind them at all, and doesn´t pay huge amounts of attention to cats he passes on the street. Timmy knows sit, down, and will go to his crate when he is told it is time to eat (all our dogs eat in their crates so they can get comfortable in there and to prevent arguments amongst all the dogs during food time). He hasn´t had much interaction with children as we don´t know many but he enjoys meeting strangers out of the house and at home and we think he would love to join a family with kids that are dog savvy. He loves car rides and general adventure and whoever his future family is will surely feel like they have won the jackpot.
Tiny Tim can be on a flight into Vancouver once an adoptive home is found His adoption fee of $550 includes flight, neuter, vaccines and full vetting

Jack Sparrow - In a BC foster & looking for a loving FURever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/published/jack-2.jpg?1718325610)
Our Jack Sparrow boy is still looking for his FURever home. Here is an update from his foster mom:
Jack Sparrow is getting much better at walking on a leash, he will need a consistent handler that can show him structure both in the home and out on walks, he's still jumpy and barks at other dogs, while it is likely just because he wants to play, he needs to learn that isn't the best approach. Jack would benefit from being exposed to new experiences often to help him become less fearful of new things, people and experiences.
He is getting better with a little “pep talk” every time he starts to get excited, like most rescues he tends to love most women/females and is fearful of some men, mostly the ones in hats, however when they are willing to put the effort forth with Jack to prove they aren't a danger, Jack warms up to them and begins to trust them.
Jack sometimes jumps up into new human's faces, but it is just to say hello, he is still very much a hyper puppy, he is approximately 12 months old now and roughly 30-35lbs, Jack would benefit from an active Family with a fenced yard so that he can get in a good run around the backyard off leash a couple of times a day. He doesn't play fetch but is quite skilled at keep-away.
Jack does tend to find things to chew on that he's not supposed to, like hats and crocs and anything in the recycling bin, but that's usually when he feels you should be paying more attention to him, he's also quite fond of sneaking into the kitchen to see if there's anything yummy for him to steal off the counter, but, with consistent training he will quickly learn that he should not do such things.
Jack is a great snuggle bug and will flop down on top of his bestie for the night or while you sip your morning coffee.
Jack will thrive with an active family where he is the only dog in the household (for the time being), it would be very beneficial to Jack if they were willing to continue working with his trainer to help him be the best boy that he can be.

HIS BIO:
A kind lady found a puppy wandering the streets in her neighborhood and after asking around to see if he belonged to a family, she sadly realized the pup had been abandoned. She fell in love with him and really wanted to keep him, but living in a small house with a husband that does not like dogs, was a challenge. She tried hard but at the end, the husband gave her a deadline to “get rid” of the puppy and she had no choice but look for help. Claudia was contacted and knowing the fate the dog would face if put back on the streets, she welcomed him into the shelter. She took him to the vet and tests showed he had worms and other internal parasites which had caused a stomach infection so antibiotics were prescribed, tests were done for scary illnesses (thankfully they all came back negative), vitamins given and his health protocol started getting him ready for his new, safe life.
Jack Sparrow is the most handsome mutt (the best breed ever), he is about 9 months old and weighs 14 kilos.
Jack Sparrow loves humans, specially when they give him attention and love. He likes adults, teenagers, and children. He gets along with the rest of the dogs in the shelter and cats too. Jack enjoys car rides and loves his daily walks outside the shelter where he can explore and socialize with the dogs he meets. He makes friends everywhere he goes. Jack may react when some dogs try to steal from his food bowl but with a firm “no” he backs down. He has finished the puppy chewing stage and is learning to be a great dog. He has a lot of energy and loves to play, so an active home would be ideal. He would do well with/without another dog or with/without children. A loving family that includes him in daily activities is the most important thing.
The adoption fee for Jack Sparrow is $550 and includes flight, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Jack Sparrow to join your family, please submit an application on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].

Enano - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/published/main-enano.jpg?1717627831)
Randy, a caring foreigner living in Guadalajara, found a little puppy in the middle of the street one morning. The puppy looked confused but happy even though he was obviously lost or had been abandoned. Randy brought him home and posted his pictures on Facebook and in all the local WhatsApp groups he could find; he searched for the owners for about 3 weeks before realizing he needed to start considering other options. He took the puppy to the vet and slowly over the next 2 months got all his vaccines and got him neutered so he would be ready to find a forever home.
Enano is a Terrier/ Chihuahua mix, he is about 1.5 years old and weighs approximately 7 kilos.
Enano is the cutest little fellow, that gets along with adults and children. This happy puppy enjoys the company of humans, other dogs, and cats. He does not show aggression if another dog approaches when he is being fed or is playing with toys. Enano is an easy going and relaxed puppy; he knows he is safe in his foster home, so he is not scared of loud noises or thunderstorms. He loves his twice daily walks when he usually goes potty. He sleeps in his crate at night and during the day the crate door is open, so he goes in to take naps. He has been left alone in the house for several hours and has not shown destructive behavior, but rather will entertain himself playing with his toys. He knows basic commands such as “sientate” (sit) and “ven” (come). We would love to see Enano join an active family as he likes to run around, play fetch and do all the fun/silly puppy things. A family with another dog would be fine also as he enjoys playing with other dogs. Although he loves being the center of attention, he doesn’t have a problem sharing his humans with other dogs. Please share Enano’s album so that this pup can find his forever family.
The adoption fee for Enano $600 and includes flight, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Enano to join your family, please submit an application on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].

Copito - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/editor/a-main-copito.jpg?1712444555)
Las Juntas y Los Veranos is a little town south of Puerto Vallarta where the main highway crosses. Houses and stores are lined along the road, too close to traffic. Unfortunately, dogs are allowed to freely roam the place resulting in frequent accidents due to the speed of which the cars go by. There was a construction site where workers were sharing their lunch with two stray dogs. They put some cardboard and old t-shirts in a corner for them to stay the night, but with the construction done, the dogs were left “homeless” as none of the workers were able to take them home with them. They stayed in the area in great danger of being run over, so someone from the town made calls looking for help and Vanessa, a long-time rescuer with a huge heart, was contacted. Although she did not have room in her house to take them in, she still went to pick them up, thinking she would figure out what to do later. She has limited resources, but she had taken the responsibility, so she asked Angel if he could help and thankfully, he agreed. Before moving in, Copito was taken to the vet, where tests were done for the scary illnesses, which fortunately all came back negative. He was malnourished and had ehrlichiosis (caused by ticks), so he was prescribed antibiotics and vitamins to start his health protocol and off he went on the way to a better life.
Copito is a Husky / Australian Sheperd mix, he is about 4 years old and weighs 27 kilos.
Copito is a gorgeous boy that loves adults, teenagers, and children alike. He especially loves female adults and flirts with them. We do not know if he gets along with cats, but can be tested, if needed. He gets along with the rest of the dogs in the facility and has no problem sharing his food bowl and sleeping areas with them. He loves his daily walks and sometimes pulls and gets too excited when he sees some of his friends. He is very social and active; his ideal day would be out on the grounds playing with other dogs. He has learned to sit and wait his turn when food is being served. We think he would do great with an active family and possibly another female dog to play with.
The adoption fee for Copito is $550 and includes flight, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Copito to join your family, please submit an application on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].

Alaska - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/published/a-main-alaska.jpg?1710458543)
After the excitement of having a new cute puppy, some pet owners realize it’s too much responsibility to have a dog, especially when the dog grows and grows and grows until they are no longer the cute LITTLE pup, and they start looking for ways to get rid of it. They will do everything to avoid the responsibility, and some take the dog and abandon it far away from their house. One morning, Nayeli walked out of the shelter and saw a beautiful female dog tied to a tree, steps away from the door and she knew someone had abandoned her there on purpose. She brought her in, fed her and set up a separate area for her to spend the night until she could get to the vets for testing. Besides being filthy, full of fleas and malnourished the lovely girl was free of all the scary illnesses, so her health protocol started along with her new life.
Alaska is a husky female of about 2.5 years and she weighs about 22 kilos.
Alaska is a beautiful girl that loves adults and children of all ages. She gets along well with the rest of the big dogs in the shelter but sometimes she gets tired of the little ones when they are too much of a nuisance. We do not know if she gets along with cats but she can be tested, if needed. Alaska shares her food, toys and sleeping area with other dogs without a problem. She loves playing, and going on daily walks where she can explore is her absolute favorite thing to do. She loves attention and will let you know how happy that makes her by “talking”. She is a husky and not surprisingly is quite vocal. Alaska likes socializing and thus, would do well in a social, active home with or without teenagers or other dogs.
The adoption fee for Alaska is $500 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. She can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Alaska to join your family, please submit an application on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].

Duke - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/published/a-main-duke.jpg?1709765055)
Nayeli got a call, a concerned person had seen a puppy walking along a busy road, dodging the heavy traffic. She took off and rushed to the place, finding him running and scared. He was by himself, seemed lost and was afraid of the cars racing past him. When she tried to grab him, he immediately threw himself to the ground and peed out of fear. Although he was just a puppy, he was in bad shape; malnourished, filthy, and full of fleas. Nayeli managed to pick him up and took him to the vet where he was checked and tested for scary illnesses which fortunately came back negative. A very needed wash, vitamins and deworming started him on his health protocol, and then he was taken to the shelter for a fresh new start.
Duke is a mix of Labrador and Great Pyrenees; he is now 1.6 years old and weighs 30 kilos.
Duke is a gorgeous boy that loves humans of all ages. He gets along with all the dogs in the shelter and is social when meeting most new dogs on his walks outside. We don’t know if he gets along with cats but can be tested, if needed. He walks well on a leash and loves his daily outings. There is that one house with that one dog that does not like Duke, so he has begun to growl and bark back in response, but it’s definitely the exception to his interactions with other dogs. He is confident and is not food, toy or sleeping area possessive. Duke is a loving goofy boy that loves playing with kids and other dogs whenever he can. They have been working on his house training and getting him used to sleeping in a crate. We think his ideal home will be with an active family with or without kids or teenagers and maybe another dog so they can play together in the backyard.
The adoption fee for Duke is $550 and includes flight, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Duke to join your family, please submit an application on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].
Maximilian - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home

MAXIMILIAN IS LOOKING FOR A FUREVER HOME IN EITHER PUERTO VALLARTA OR DRIVING DISTANCE FROM THE CITY
Lydia saw this older dog wandering helpless on the street and she had to stop to try and find out if he had an owner. Unfortunately, people in the neighborhood had seen him there for quite a long time and nobody was taking care of him. It seemed obvious that he was either lost or had been abandoned, which sadly happens too often when a dog gets old and is no longer fun to have. The dog was filthy, full of ticks and fleas, malnourished and limping on his back left leg. She took him to the vet, who said the limping was due to an old injury that had healed; it would limit his mobility some, but he could have a normal life. He was tested for scary illnesses and happily, they all came back negative. He was prescribed vitamins, along with internal & external parasite treatment. Once he was healthy, he was vaccinated and neutered.
Maximilian is a mixed breed male; he is approximately 11.5 years old and weighs about 30 kilos.
Maximilian gets along well with people of all ages, but he does not like cats. He likes playing with female dogs in the shelter and can be selective with male dogs, not getting along with some of them. Loud noises do not bother him. In his mind, he is just a small dog, and he does not realize how heavy he is, so his play can be rough. He shares his toys and sleeping areas with other dogs without a problem. He is obedient and responds well to commands like “ven” (come), “vamos” (let’s go) and of course, “no”. Due to his low energy level, we think he would do good in a low to medium energy environment, ideally with adults and no kids.
Maximilian needs to live in a warm climate since the cold would affect his leg. The adoption fee for Maximilian is $300 and includes transportation, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. If you are ready for Maximilian to join your family (adoption or even long-term senior foster), please submit an application on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].

Rayas - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/published/rayas.jpg?1705363066)
This dog represents his name well; both because of his markings as well as the Mexican saying “otra raya mas al tigre” which translates as “another stripe in the tiger”. A very common story….. one more dog in the streets, wandering around by himself, looking for food and water around trash and dangerously crossing streets, disoriented. People don’t know how he got to the neighborhood, but he was not from there and they feared he would get hit by a car not being familiar with the streets, so they took him into their home and worked on a plan. They did what they could to get him healthy and to keep him safe. They reached out looking for help to find him a forever home and that is how Rayas became a MexPup. He has been through the full health protocol, is healthy and is now ready to find his forever home.
Rayas is a handsome mixed breed male; he is estimated to be between 1.5 to 2 years old and weighs approximately 25 kilos.
Rayas is a social dog that likes to meet people. He does well with humans of all sizes and with visitors. Rayas loves his daily walks and has no negative reaction when he sees other loose dogs on the street. However, he is protective of his food. Feeding him separately solves the issue. He shares toys and likes to play with other dogs, but when bedtime comes, he will growl if other dogs try to lay on his bed (reminds me of someone I know 😉). Rayas does well with medium and smaller sized dogs, but he is an alpha, so he doesn’t do well with some large dogs (if he feels threatened by them) and he isn’t a fan of cats. He isn’t bothered by loud noises and wants to please. Rayas has a lot of strength and would excel with an active and energetic family that takes him out on adventures. He loves running, exploring, digging holes, playing with toys and playing with other dogs. Rayas is ready for a home where he will be part of a family, so please share his album so they know that he is looking for them.
The adoption fee for Rayas is $550 and includes flight, neuter, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Rayas to join your family, please submit an application at mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].

![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/published/olive.jpg?1703198480)
A small puppy wandering around the neighborhood looking for water or food in the trash does not face a bright future and that is how this lovely puppy was seen by neighbors. They were concerned she would be run over by a car or end up in the wrong hands so they called Claudia, and she could not refuse to take her. Once she was safe in Claudia’s hands, she tried finding her owners but was unable to locate anyone, so she took the puppy to the vet to get tests done which amazingly all came back great so her health protocol started in hopes for a brilliant future.
Olive is a female terrier mix; she is about 9 months old and weighs approximately 15.200 kilos.
Olive loves all people, adult males, and females as well as children. She does well on a leash and loves going out on walks. Olive is kennel trained which is where she sleeps all night, and she is doing well with potty training but can have accidents. She is still in the puppy stage where she likes to chew toys and whatever she finds attractive, but she does listen to corrections. Olive will benefit from a home environment where she gets the time and attention needed to help her grow into the great dog she is. This happy, high-energy puppy would do well with an active family with or without children 9+ years old as she can get a bit clumsy when playing. She loves playing tug-a-war, ball, squishes and fetches as well.
The adoption fee for Olive is $550 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. She can be on a flight if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Olive to join your family, please submit an application on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].

Niña - In a PV foster and looking for a forever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/published/67a31613-7bb0-4fe3-979c-e161fd7d0cda.jpg?1693876439)
When living circumstances change and there are pets in the home, the easiest way to get rid of them is to just toss them out to the street, quit feeding them and not allow them to come inside the house. This was sadly the case with this dog, that suddenly became homeless and hopeless until Nayeli saw her roaming on the streets, full of ticks and fleas, with small wounds on her body, hungry and thirsty. Nayeli got the owners to officially surrender her to the shelter and she was immediately taken into care. Her first trip was to the vet’s office to get checked and tested, and fortunately, besides being weak, she was in good health.
Niña is a female mixed breed who looks like she may have some St Bernard in her from her coloring, which is about 3 years old and weighs approximately 25 kilos.
Niña is a more submissive girl, she gets along well with all humans as well as the other dogs in the shelter and dogs she meets on her walks, she can be tested with cats if necessary. She can be a little protective with her food bowl, however being that she lives with 60 other dogs this isn't uncommon and could very well go away in a home where she doesn't have as much chaos around her while she is eating. Feeding her separately until she gains more confidence with food is a very easy solution. She has no problem sharing toys or her favorite comfy spots with other dogs. When people come in the shelter, she wants to be the first one to greet and loves getting the attention first. She can be a little bossy with the others if she’s not the first in line, but she is also bigger than lots of them so can march her way through if she wants. Niña is quite friendly, but it can take a bit for her to fully gain confidence with people. This is often the case for a lot of rescued dogs, so a family who adopts her will just need to take things at her pace and they will be wonderfully surprised by how loving she is as she grows comfortable. She has no issues meeting new people and will very quickly melt in your lap when she realizes you want to be friends. She loves ear scratches, belly rubs and is a softy, that is ready to love her new family. She would do great in a home with a yard to run around and probably another dog to play with. She would be a wonderful companion for almost any type of home and would make a great family dog.
The adoption fee for Niña is $500 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. She can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. If you are ready for Niña to join your family, please submit an application on mexpup.com or, if you have any questions or need more information you can email [email protected].

Waffles - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/published/a-main-waffles.jpg?1682643555)
PEACE Animals Spay & Neuter clinics are a key to the work being done in the Puerto Vallarta area to end the suffering of animals. These mobile clinics are on the front lines each week going into the communities where help is needed. A while back, during a clinic in the outskirts of town, a dog wandered into the clinic and went straight into a crate. Animals are amazingly smart. This sweet girl was in trouble, needed help and found people that she hoped would do something for her. She was 100% correct. Maria, one of the volunteers at the clinic did all she could to find a foster home for her and at that very moment the pup had a foster and also became a MexPup. She had a bad case of mange (thankfully the non-contagious type) but she still had extremely swollen feet and cracks in the skin all over her body. She was alert and had clear eyes but was extremely weak. Waffles was taken to get vet care and due to the severity of her swollen feet and skin cracks all over her body she remained in the clinic. Once she was stabilized, she moved to the foster home where she started her recovery and new life.
Waffles is an American Staffordshire terrier female about 7.5 years old and currently weighs approximately 22 kilos.
Waffles has been in care for many years now. Sadly, time has continued to tick by, and she’s just been unlucky. When she was younger and finding her way, she was a handful and none of her applications were a good match. As the years passed, I think people saw her post and thought there must be a reason no one else wanted her and so they didn’t inquire or give us a chance to tell them more about her. We really hope that Waffles will finally get her chance. We know there is a great family out there for her somewhere.
Waffles is doing well. She is happy, healthy, and absolutely ready to find her family. In general, Waffles gets along with some dogs, but she would be best as the only animal in the home since she can be possessive of her belongings, including water and food. Being a stray is difficult and some dogs are still fearful of some of the dangers they faced on the streets; Waffles gets very stressed with loud noises, such as fireworks or thunder. We think she would do best with an experienced, confident owner; she is a great dog, but is an alpha so needs guidance & leadership. We are so happy that she has recovered and now, we are excited for her to find a family to call her own. Please share this post so that we can give this lovely girl the great life she deserves.
The adoption fee for Waffles is $450 and includes flight, spay, vaccines, and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. Please email [email protected] or submit an application on mexpup.com

Bimba - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/published/foster-bimba-2.jpg?1682032886)
Juanita saw this beautiful dog near her home late at night and she noticed the dog was scared and was trying to hide from two unknown men. Juanita called her and she came to her right away, when the men saw she was with somebody they left without saying a word so Juanita believed they had bad intentions. The pup had a collar on but no tag; Juanita figured the dog was trying to escape from a bad situation, so she decided to help her and took her in. Once she got the chance to check her, she was sure her new rescue had been neglected since she was underweight, her skin was in bad condition, missing hair in some spots, was filthy, had long nails and was full of fleas and ticks. She also looked like she had recently been lactating so she may have been used for illegal breeding. The next morning, Juanita reached out for help via Facebook groups which Carmen & Claudia saw. They stepped in taking her to the Vet where tests were run, and medications were given, and she was ready for a new start.
Bimba is a beautiful American Staffordshire Terrier mix about 4.5 years old. She weights approximately 28 kilos.
Bimba has greatly improved since her rescue, she is a confident girl now that enjoys her daily walks on a leash. She is playful and loves being off leash in safe spaces. She gets a little hyper when there are larger groups of dogs, but she does great with 1 or a maximum of 2 medium to large dogs. Bimba is not very fond of small dogs, especially louder ones, so she needs a home without any small dogs or cats. Bimba has medium energy and is super affectionate with her humans. She also enjoys being lazy at home in a large doggy bed. She loves squeaky toys, plush toys and loves laying in the sun whenever possible. She is not used to spending long periods of time in a crate. We think Bimba would enjoy and benefit from some basic obedience classes as to keep her active and learning.
Her ideal owners would be a family with teenagers or a couple with no kids (and no plans to have any). If the owners have had experience with similar medium to large breeds like her, Bimba would benefit from their leadership and guidance to become the best dog she can be.
The adoption fee for Bimba is $500 and includes flight, spay, vaccines and full vetting. She can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. Please email [email protected] or submit an application on mexpup.com

Heydi - In a PV foster & looking for a loving FURever home
![Picture](/uploads/7/4/5/6/7456287/main-heydi_orig.jpg)
Two helpless puppies were found on the street, our guess is that whoever had the momma, was indifferent to their suffering and just carelessly dumped her littler. When found, Heydi, on top of being malnourished, filthy and full of fleas, had a big cut on her face, probably because of a dog attack; Nayeli just could not help herself but take the puppies into care. Heydi was immediately taken to the Vet for a regular checkup as usual but most important, to have the wound taken care of. Tests were run, deworming was given, antibiotics were prescribed and off she went to a safe place to recover and start a new life.
Heydi is a highly desirable mutt (the best breed ever) mix with St Bernard about 6 months old. She weights approximately 18 kilos, and our guess is she will be large size when fully grown.
Fully recovered now and with a little scar on her face (but who cares, right?), Heydi is a beautiful and happy puppy, very social and active; she loves her foster siblings and people visiting the shelter. She has been around cats and rather than being aggressive, she was scared of them. During her daily walks, she loves exploring and discovering everything there is to see and sniff. She has lots of energy and when playing, she can be a bit rough not knowing how strong she can be so a family with little kids may not be her ideal home. Heydi is a sweet, tender, and affectionate girl that enjoys getting all the love and pets she can get.
The adoption fee for Heydi is $550 and includes flight, spay, vaccines and full vetting. He can be on a flight, if a foster or adoptive home is found. Please email [email protected] or submit an application on mexpup.com
