Hello world!! My name is Zola and I am a sweet 1.5 year old mixed labrador/cane corso. Although I am 63 lbs, I am only about 21 inches high at my shoulder so I'm a compact gal. True to labrador and cane corso temperaments, I've displayed my loyal and playful traits. I love playing with other dogs and I just love humans. As I'm still quite young I might be a bit too active to be around very small children but I am always kind to all people. I am as comfortable on the couch having a cuddle as I am out in nature investigating the neighbourhood.
I must admit that I need a few more skills in leash walking as I can tend to pull but I don't lunge at other dogs. I simply want to play with them. As a lab, I just love water and going on walks so I'm ready to be your companion on nature hikes or whatever adventures you choose. I love car rides too so....when do we start our adventures?!
A few more points about me:
I am being rehomed because my human is forced to move into housing where she can't have a dog. She is so sad about this! I will likely do better in a home with a yard and/or near trails and parks where we can go walking. My bio says that it's not known how I respond to cats as I have never lived with them. Given my general personality, it's likely that I will be just fine as long as the introduction time is gradual and allows both the cat and me to do a bit of sniffing at a distance before we actually get close to each other. Chances are I will love to play with a cat as I'm a playful dog with both humans and other dogs.
I am spayed, immunized, and microchipped. My energy level is moderate-high.
My adoption fee is $750 plus taxes.
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/rehoming adopters. 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.
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.
