Hello sweet world. I'm Ashe and here is info about me:
Breed: Labrador / German Shepherd Mix
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Male
Weight: 56 lbs
Height 24 inches
Highlights:
You'll find me a curious pupper, who just likes to see what is going on. Should make training easier, as I want to know what you want from me.
Once loved, then dumped, I found myself abandoned by the only family I had ever known. Abandoned for not meeting the standards of being a purebred German Shepherd they thought I was. Isn't that ridiculous?
My journey led me to a busy highway here in Lebanon. Shops on the side of the highway saw me and feared for my safety and the safety of the cars getting into an accident. So my rescuers received an urgent call to come get me. They immediately came and rescued me, having to navigate the chaos of the highway to collect me.
With gentle hands and soothing words, they picked me up, holding me in their arms. Such a relief that was. As they took me away to safety, my heart was filled with gratitude for the second chance I'd been given.
In the days that followed, I found peace in their care. Despite the feelings of abandonment, I began to trust once more, my trust slowly restored with each passing day.
I am good with other dogs. Running and playing is a blast. It may be possible I have quite mild hip displaysia or a tad of arthritis, nothing real evident. It doesn't slow me down at all, as you can see in my videos. I play with other dogs well: https://youtube.com/shorts/b3-jv3AmsUU?si=2x5t-LEfzlf2NX14. I'm a friendly guy. Although I can be playful, I can also be calm. So chilling at home is fine by me too. Never had experience with kitty-kind, so unsure of living with one. Likewise, kids have not yet been in my repertoire, though my calmness likely would lend me to doing fine with them.
Energy Level: moderate.
I get along with:
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Unknown
Fears: being bullied by alpha male dogs. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training: Shelter life schedule - park time - meal time.
Leash skills: some. Please be prepared to continue training.
House trained: unknown, though likely. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes:
Possible very mild hip displaysia or arthritis
I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
My adoption fee is $750.00 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.
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.
