My name is NODDY and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Border Collie/hound mix
Age: 3 yrs
Gender: male
Weight: 46 lbs
Height: 20 inches
Highlight(s): affectionate, loyal, calm, funny, playful, loving, confident
Known as an Indie dog, I look very much like a NZ Huntaway sheepdog. Who knows if there is actually any of that in me, but neat anyway, don't you think? I am a loving boy, whose tail never stops wagging.
My rescuer found me in a dire situation. I was living on the streets and become a victim of human cruelty. A drunk man had chained me and I was being dragged and beaten up with a stick. https://youtube.com/shorts/81PYRImrcpc. I was bleeding from my mouth and had scratch wounds all over my body.
When my rescuer saw what was happening, she intervened immediately. Even though I was in bad shape, I still wagged my tail at her. She shifted me to a boarding home and there I have been living since. You see in my country of India, us mixed breeds are not treated well. I have not had even one lead for an adoption.
I am also a Distemper survivor. I had it at 8 month old, but am completely well now.
Given my penchant for affection, I am good with dogs of all sizes, as well as kids. Sorry, haven't had intro to cats yet. And just look at how excellent I am with the vet: https://youtube.com/shorts/P-uf4VaxC4I.
You'll find me playful, but also a big cuddle buddy. I'm calm, confident, & loyal. You'll see I have a funny, amusing side to me, as well. So, I should keep you amused. See how silly I am here scratching my back on the bricks: https://youtu.be/9HanyGs5RH0. Hoping we can have some adventures together, but also do some big time snuggling.
Yah, pink bows on a boy dog, I know... but a boy can be Noddy, Naughty, Not he, once in a while can't he? Hahaa. The rescuer thought I was cute in them though. I think a moderate to semi-moderate lifestyle of activity would suit me well. Always up for a sniffathon walk, but just as happy to hangout on the couch getting ear scratches. Mmmm, streeeetching out, just thinking about my future: https://youtube.com/shorts/P-uf4VaxC4I. I'm awaiting your call.
Aren't I wonderfully loyal? https://youtube.com/shorts/kaTob_NyRwc.

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.
