A warm hello to you. I'm ELLERINA and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Canaan Dog/Saluki mix
Age: 1-1/2 years
Gender: female
Weight: 23 kg
Height: 45 cm
Highlights: friendly, playful, eager to learn
You will find here a very well socialized pupper. Pretty amazing given my start in life.
Nearly a year and a half ago, my rescuers were called by a family here in Israel, to take a mama and her puppies from their yard. They hated animals and didn’t want them around. So my rescuers took all us puppies, but couldn't catch my mama, as she ran away. Isn't that heartbreaking? They took us to their shelter, where we were given the treatment we needed.
Being a friendly girl (though a bit shy/anxious to start), I will happily join your family for fun & frolic. I'm playful at the right level, not too hyper, not too dull. So, if you are like Goldilocks, looking for just right... that's me.
While I can be independent, I am also faithful to my peeps.
When hearing loud voices, I can get startled. I get scared by high pitched sounds of cars. So hoping you can reassure me on walks with cars around. Having been in the war zone here, it is going to take some settling learning, I am no longer in danger.
I know how to walk with a leash and bonus score, am house trained too. See, just right. I am eager to please, eager to learn & given my confidence level, I should be easy to train. You'll find I am quite entertaining to watch. Especially since I can be curious about things. It will be amusing for you to watch me discover all the new things about life there in Canada.
I get along fine with other dogs. With cats, it's a mixed bag, so probably a home without a cat is best. I haven't had interactions with children. I'm a cuddly and affectionate girl too.
Energy Level: moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: No
Kids: unknown
Fears: Loud voices can startle me. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training:
Leash skills: yes. Please be prepared to train continue training.
House trained: yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes:
I have been spayed/neutered, 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.

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.
