Felicity

“Felicity" is currently in Guadalajara, Mexico in foster care with our organization, "The MexiMutt Project". We are listing this dog for adoption in Oregon now, so we can find him/her the perfect family BEFORE they arrive to Oregon..... We have not yet booked this dogs flight to Oregon but once we have an adopter lined up for this dog, then we will get him/her on the next flight to PDX for adoption. Please note: It can take 2-4 weeks to arrange for the dog to fly to Oregon due to the USDA customs import paperwork. PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS...... Our adoption program is exclusive and personal. Here is how it works… 1. Angela Adams – the founder and director of “The MexiMutt Project/Born Again Pit Bull Rescue” will call you and approve your adoption application for the dog, and she will chat more in depth with you about our adoption process. 2. We will purchase the flight to Oregon (this is already included in the adoption fee). Angela will communicate every detail with you! 3. Angela will text you weekly updates (photos/videos of your new MexiMutt dog while awaiting the flight to Portland). 4. Once the dog arrives in Portland, you will pick up the dog at PDX (the airport), pay the adoption fee, receive all vet/medical records, and take your new dog home! 5. We simply do not have enough time to respond to all the Petfinder email messages/inquires and phone calls we get about our dogs. We work full time jobs and we run this organization in our “free time”. We are all volunteers, including our director, Angela Adams. She does NOT get paid for her work and time dedicated to our organization.... Please, if you are interested in one of our dogs, FILL OUT AN ONLINE APPLICATION. (Read through this entire page and you will find the application link at the bottom). NAME: Felicity AGE: 2 years old WEIGHT: 30 lbs BREED: Terrier - Shepherd Mix (This is our best guess, we don’t know for sure, since he/she was a street dog.) DOGS: Yes! CATS: unsure KIDS: Yes, but please remember that kids need to know to be respectful of the dog’s space, bodies, and toys/food. HOUSEBROKEN: No, not 100% yet -- Please keep in mind that our dogs are rescued off the streets, they are NOT always 100% housebroken and will need time and patience to adjust. Even in a foster home in Mexico, the dogs are often living in an environment with no carpet or grass or living outside. In the house, it is usually tile flooring and outside it is dirt/concrete. Most of our dogs transition well and only need about 1-2 weeks to get on a potty schedule/routine. LEASH TRAINED: Working on it -- most dogs in Mexico have never walked on a leash before, he/she will need to be desensitized to leash walking and you will need to work on it slowly with them. ABOUT: The MexiMutt Project has formed a new partnership with a small shelter located in the rural village of Jocotepec, Mexico. Currently, there are 18 lovely dogs residing at the shelter, where they spend 24/7 outside in all elements. Our mission is to assist these dogs in finding loving forever homes. As space becomes available at our MexiMutt headquarters in Chapala, Mexico, some of these dogs will join us to help us gather more information about them. At the moment, our knowledge about them is limited, but we can tell you that they are friendly towards both humans and other dogs. However, we have yet to determine their compatibility with cats. Are you willing to provide one of these incredible dogs with an opportunity to embark on a beautiful new chapter in their lives? Will you step forward as their hero? If so, we encourage you to apply for adoption at www.BAPBR.org. Your decision could make all the difference in creating a brighter future for a deserving furry companion. Adoption fee is $650--- What does that cover? All vaccines (DHLPPi=Distemper, Hepatitis, Lepto, Parvo, Parainfluenza, Rabies and Bordetella-for kennel cough) Sterilization (spay/neuter surgery) Heartworm/Lyme/Ehrlichia/Anaplasma Blood Parasite Test Parvo/Giardia/Canine Coronavirus Test Distemper/Adenovirus Type-I/Influenza Test (if needed) CBC (Complete Blood Count) bloodwork results (printed and put in your adoption folder) Dental/Teeth Cleaning (if needed) Current on flea/tick/heartworm treatment with SimparicaTRIO (a pill that is good for 30 days) Deworming x3 (upon intake, 15 days later and again before flight to Oregon for reinforcement) Microchipped with prepaid lifetime registration for you to register your new dog Grooming/bath before transport to Oregon Flight Health Certificate USDA Import Permit Airplane ticket for the freedom flight from Guadalajara, Mexico to Portland, Oregon Collar, Leash and MexiMutt ID tag Adoption fees are payable via: Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, Zelle, or cash. Fill out an online adoption application here: www.BAPBR.org ============================================ Each dog we fly from Mexico to Oregon for adoption costs us a minimum of $550 USD (if they have no other medical issues), so any extra of the adoption fee goes BACK into our programs to help fund the spay/neuter surgeries for the street dogs and owned dogs in the poor rural villages in Mexico. We average about 55 sterilization surgeries a month for the dogs and pay about $50 USD each spay/neuter surgery. (It’s estimated that 70% of Mexico’s 18 million dogs live on the street, either born as strays or abandoned by their owners, the largest number of street dogs in Latin America.) Please know that we are a 100% volunteer ran organization, with no paid employees and we work full time jobs and have our own families to care for as well. Due to the large number of applications, we receive - we are not able to reply to everyone individually. If we think you are the right match for our dog, we will reach out to you. Please understand that we really love our dogs and are very invested in their success in life. We try very hard to place our dogs into homes that will make both the dog and their people happy. Thank you in advance for understanding. Most of our adoptable dogs are homeless/abandoned street dogs or owner surrenders in Mexico.

Your support has made all the difference for The MexiMutt Project in 2022. These are your donations at work in Guadalajara/Chapala Mexico (Lakeside area) in 2022…. The MexiMutt Project “Free Sterilization Services” for the street dogs and owned dogs in Mexico = 887 dogs + 71 cats sterilized ($31,665 USD spent). The MexiMutt Project “Full Bellies Fund” = 16,000+ lbs of food purchased to feed street & owned dogs ($7,210 USD spent) The MexiMutt Project “Flea Free Fund” = on average we treat 30+ dogs a month with a Simparica TRIO or NexGard pill – it’s about $11 USD per pill. ($3,380 USD spent). This helps the dogs that have mange and kills the fleas/ticks. The MexiMutt Project Adoptions (locally in Mexico and stateside thru BAPBR and our other rescue partners in the Northwest) = 100 dogs placed into loving forever homes! We couldn't do these things without your support. THANK YOU for believing in us and supporting us. By contributing a donation to The MexiMutt Project, you'll be part of making a difference to the dogs in need in 2023.
