My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Jenni! A 1 year old Egyptian Baladi who made her way into the care of BSDRO after a journey spanning nearly 10 000 kilometres. Jenni was found in a garbage pile, beaten, and battered at the base of the Great Pyramids of Giza. She was saved by a kind human who couldn’t bare the thought of leaving her behind, and brought her safely home to Canada, where she eventually made it into our care.

Jenni is an extremely athletic dog who is looking for an equally athletic family or person to match her energy. Somebody who works from home would be a fantastic fit for Jenni, as she craves attention and stimulation, and loves to be around her people as much as possible.

Jenni loves to go go go! She is always ready for an adventure. She would do best in a home with a large, fenced in yard, where she is safe to run and play with her people, and a doggy friend who can match her energy would be a big bonus! At night time Jenni will cuddle up with her people on the couch or in bed, looking for as much love and pets as she can get her paws on.

The first couple of days in a new home Jenni will be anxious and need time to decompress. Somebody who understands that this is very temporary will be met about 1-2 days later with an extremely happy and loving dog who is excited to give hugs, kisses, and play. While Jenni had a history of being fearful of men, in her foster home Jenni has grown a loving attachment to her foster dad (and her temporary foster dad while her regular foster dad was on vacation!) and shows no fear of men after the first day or two. That being said, Jenni should have a female in the home to help boost her confidence.

Jenni is leash trained, crate trained, potty trained, and quickly picks up on new tricks, eager to please (and earn some yummy treats!). She has been fostered with multiple cats, dogs, and children and done wonderful with every person and every creature she’s met.

Baladi’s are a special breed of dog, and a potential adopter unfamiliar with the breed should research their traits and temperaments before applying to adopt. Baladi dogs must learn from a young age to fend for themselves, so they often first appear to be stand-offish, but this fades quickly. In our experience, they do best with another dog in the home, but are also known to play rough so another dog in the home should be able to handle this type of play. Because of their street-savviness, they are more often than not quite fearful and skeptical of new people, but once they trust you, you will not regret your decision to adopt a Baladi. They are highly intelligent, athletic, and extremely loyal dogs who learn quickly and make a great addition to a family environment.

Jenni is spayed, up to date on relevant vaccines, and microchipped.

More about this rescue

Baladi & Sled Dog Rescue of Ontario is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, providing veterinary care, and finding loving homes for dogs from the dog sledding industry. We also extend our reach locally by rescuing stray dogs and cats from Indigenous communities that we partner with.

Our rescue began saving street dogs and cats, AKA Baladis, in Egypt. Since the important on animals ban implemented in 2022, we are no longer allowed to bring animals into Canada from Egypt. Our efforts, however, expand globally, as we continue to help support the placement of Baladi's in Egyptian shelters.
