Hello everyone. My name is Kaila and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Jindo/German Shepherd Mix
Age: 2 years
Gender: Female
Weight: 44 lb
Height: 57 cm
Highlight(s): Good with other dogs, rarely barks
In February 2022, I found myself in a city pound as a stray, along with my Shepherd mom and two siblings. While they were lucky enough to find their forever homes, I was left behind, feeling a little lonely. But hey, that's all in the past now because I'm ready to find my own loving family!
I must admit, I can be a bit shy when I first meet new people. But if you approach me gently, I'll warm up to you quickly. I even enjoy being petted and lifted once I feel comfortable. Treats? Oh, I love them! I'll happily take them from your hands. However, if I'm feeling too nervous, I might pass on the treats for now. It's all about finding that balance, you know?
Guess what? I had the pleasure of meeting a two-year-old human boy once. He whined a lot, but you know what? I was super patient with him. I understand that little ones can be full of energy and noise, and I'm more than happy to be a calm and gentle companion for them.
When it comes to meeting new dogs, I have different approaches. Sometimes, I'm all about play and will actively approach them, ready for some fun. Other times, I prefer to just say a quick hello and then mind my own business. It really depends on my mood. Oh, and when I visit a dog park for the first time, I might feel a bit overwhelmed. In those moments, I'd love to find a cozy corner where I can feel safe and secure.
Now, let's talk about cats. I've encountered a few stray cats during our walks, and I must admit, they make me a little nervous. I prefer to keep my distance and just sniff them indirectly. I'm still learning to be more comfortable around them, but for now, I'll stick to walking with my handler and exploring the world together.
I have a moderate energy level - at a lower side.
At home, I'm a pretty calm and relaxed pup. I love to chill out and take naps. In fact, I've already found my favorite spot under the desk, and that's where I like to set up my comfort zone. When my handler puts me on a leash, I'm a good girl and follow her lead.
During walks, I can still be a bit tense and timid. You might notice that I tuck my tail most of the time. But don't worry, I'm learning to trust and feel more at ease. I walk well on a leash and won't pull you around. Now, car rides are a bit of a challenge for me. I tend to get carsick and vomit, but I'm getting better at it. Short drives are becoming easier for me, and I'm hopeful that with time, I'll overcome this little hurdle.
Oh, and did I mention that I'm pretty independent? I can jump into a car all by myself, and I'm totally okay with being brushed. Baths? No problem! I tolerate them well.
Now, let's talk about food. I have a healthy appetite, but I do get a bit uncomfortable when people get too close while I'm eating. It's just a little quirk of mine, but with some patience and understanding, I'm sure we can work through it together.
So, if you're looking for a sweet and gentle companion who's still learning to navigate the world, I'm your girl! I may have had a rough start, but I'm ready to find my forever home where I can feel safe, loved, and cherished. If you think we could be a perfect match, please reach out and let's start this beautiful journey together.
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Kids: yes
Fears: Unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training: Yes, Leash and crate trained
Leash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training.
House trained: Yes. Please be prepared to help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes: I have been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.
My adoption fee is $800.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada, if I am able to be accompanied by a flight volunteer directly to Vancouver.
Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.
Please Note: LALDR highly encourages adopters to research some local dog trainers before their dog arrives. Although a 1-on-1 trainer is often not needed, it is good to have someone in mind in case any problematic behaviours arise. Most bad behaviours can be modified if caught early enough, so make sure to nip undesirable behaviours in the bud before they become serious problems.
Basic training should be taken seriously, but should not begin until your dog is well settled in - at least a couple of weeks. After you feel your new dog is relaxed and comfortable in their new home, check out training courses in your local area. Even basic beginner courses like those taught at a local pet store can have a huge benefit in helping your dog learn to socialize and get used to being in public situations, all with the added benefit of strengthening their bond with you.

Take the Pet Home
As adopters of overseas dogs will be taking their dog home from the airport, they have a couple of weeks to decide if the dog is a fit.
