Good day. My name is BOJI (Gaara) and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Lab/Saluki mix (Baladi dog)
Age: 2-1/2 yrs
Gender: male
Weight: 55 lbs
Height: 24-1/2 inches
Highlight(s): sweet, loves food, easy personality
SUPERB UPDATE: I can walk again. I had my surgery and it is working, I am no longer paralyzed. Now, I just need to strengthen up. Please keep watch for updated videos of my progress. Are you my nurturing family to help me get back to full stature?
Check out my vids. See how happy I am. Here are a couple more: https://youtube.com/shorts/l6Wd8p3YqOE?feature=share,

More to come.
I am so sweet and just love life. My mission in life will be to love you up and make you smile.
One morning in Egypt, my rescuer, who feeds all us street dogs found me injured and unable to walk! So it's most likely I was hit by a car. This is quite common here, sadly. They don't even try to avoid us dogs. I was not depressed by this situation, as I wanted to live, so my rescuers didn't give up on my life. They consulted at number of vets here, but they didn't feel confident about doing surgery to help me walk again.
They finally checked with a specialist & they are verifying that he could possibly do a couple surgeries to fix me enough to rehab walking again, at least with one of my rear legs. I do have movement in it: https://youtube.com/shorts/IpjMJLi-yRs, https://youtube.com/shorts/cfcp80bTSQk. My x-rays are included. Hoping the first can occur soon. They are fund-raising. Hopefully by the time I reach Canada, I will be set to walk around. Maybe a Canada specialist will have even better ideas.
I love food, so should be easy to motivate for any training, like learning to use a wheelchair and walk with you on leash, for example. They say I have such a good heart and am a good natured pup.
It is rather boring for me here, as I am stuck in an apartment all day, as life is not kind to any dogs here, but even worse for a disabled dog. Hoping you are ready for me, so I can get to Canada and live a real life, as a dog should.
I get along well with others: https://youtube.com/shorts/hrQyd81lDLw and display no aggressive tendencies at all. Awaiting a video of me with other dogs. No idea how I'd be with cats or kids, never been around them. I'm pretty easy going though, so given proper intro, I could probably do well. Plus if the kitty is fast, I couldn't keep up. LOL.
I am aware of my bladder and bowels and will move away from my sleeping spot to go. So, maybe some pee pads for now will work.
If you are looking for a snuggle buddy and someone to share meaningful strolls with, I'm yer guy.

Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.
Information included in the profile is provided to us from the international rescuer or local fosters. LALDR does not have access to overseas dogs and cannot always verify the accuracy of their descriptions. Every dog is an individual and can act differently in different situations based on the person adopting them and the environment in which they live.
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.
While most dogs find escorting passengers flying directly to Vancouver, some will find flights through Toronto or Montreal. In that case, additional fees will apply to fly your dog to Vancouver by cargo. Unaccompanied cargo costs within Canada range from $350 - $550 depending on the size of the dog. LALDR will be as transparent as possible with you regarding these costs.
The age and breed of a dog is usually an educated guess, so we are not able to guarantee the accuracy of age or breed of our dogs.
Normally, we will not approve adoptions to homes with children under 12 years of age. However if a dog has been determined to be good with children we will approve applicants with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
