Well, its not such easy question, you will not adopt a dog like buy carrots in the market...

We can find some cases of puppies for adoption, normally they have some kind of problem which took then out of breeding or shows, also you have cases of accidental litters which the breeder can sell the puppies at cost price, normally in both cases the breeder search for people who live near him for donate the puppies, its important for the breeder to see how the puppies develop, also important for him is the assurance that if something happen with the puppie or with the owner, he will be able to pick the puppy back to his home safely.
I cant imagine a breeder which agrees to sent an donated possible problematic puppie for someone he never saw in the life and live one sea away.
In this way easiest will be if you talk with the Mexican breeder Paso de Lobos.

You can meet also some adult dogs for adoption, there you have some different histories of why this dog is looking for a new home, sometimes the owner cannot have him anymore for personal problems, in this case the owner commonly still loves the dog and will search for the nearest possible new home for him, preferably with someone he knows well and trust.
Also you can meet some cases of what we can call "problem dogs", dogs which the old owners wasn't able to handle, had problems to live with him or didn't liked the behaviour of the breed, also in this list you can meet dogs which have really strong character and are very difficult to handle, traumatized animals or rescued of bad treatment, so, dogs which already have one history to tell and are searching for a very experienced owner, able to give him a good life and live with his particularities.
An responsible rescue, breeder or owner will never send a dog like that far away, where he will not be able to control how the new owner keep going with the new dog and help him to solve the possible problems which can appear, and if needed, rescue the same dog again.

Remembering that the breed by itself have a very difficult character, which need an experienced owner to handle.
