URGENT! Due to a new law enacted in my country, the rescuers can't retain the refuge, so dogs need homes before the end of the year. Please help.
Hello. I am NOONA (Luna) and the following is a bit about me:
Breed: Labrador Retriever mix
Age: 1 year
Gender: Female
Weight: 34 lbs (15.5 kg)
Height: 23 in (58 cm)
Country of origin: Republic of Georgia
Highlights: funny, sociable, intelligent, strong, fast learner
Strong and intelligent, just as a labbie should be. So you're ready for some fun and adventures, right?
My mother was pregnant when she was rescued from a breeder, so I was born here at the refuge. Which thankfully means, I haven't had to overcome trauma or abuse, as many of my other friends here. I am the smallest of my litter. My sister, Eieleen is also posted, as well as my bro Morrie, who just got approved to a home. Waiting for my turn. More siblings to post yet.
I can be a funny girl, hope you are up for laughs. I am also a sociable girl. While still young, you'll be happy to know I have about outgrown my "puppy destruction days".
At 6 months old, I broke my leg. A vet treated it, so it mended fine. At times though, I do favor it just a bit, but I have full use of it and am quite active. I think if I push too much is when it tires. Being an athlete, guess that comes with the territory. I enjoy fast interactive games and no surprise! playing in the water.
I haven't been around cats, but my rescuer thinks probably best not to try living with them. The squirrels and such around the shelter make us dogs nutty. I'm rather a cute petite mini-lab, having not grown bigger like many of my siblings. I have retained my puppy dog eyes to melt your heart too.
I am a fast learner, once I catch onto what you want. Choose me and we can have many happy days together.
Videos on the way.
Energy level: Moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: Yes
Cats: unsure, but probably not
Kids: unsure, but likely gets along well with kids
Fears: None observed. Please be patient with me during my transition.
Training:
Leash training: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training.
House trained: yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes: broken leg at 6 mo old (fully healed), on occasional might favor it.
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.
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.
