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.
Greetings. My name is Harley (Charlie) and below you'll find info about me:
Breed: Cavalier King Charles/Clumber Spaniel mix
Age: 10 yrs
Gender: Male
Weight: 44 lbs
Height: 18 inches
Country of origin: Rep of Georgia
Highlights: intelligent, alert, puppy-like, playful, pensive, obedient
I am an obedient pup with a keen intelligence.
In the Fall of 2023 when I was found, I was in the midst of debris in a garbage dump. I was the picture of despair. I had a severe skin infection, malnutrition, and a persistent cough that spoke volumes of my battles. Though my eyes were clouded by cataracts, they held a silent plea for a second chance. Back at the Refuge, I was listless and too weak to interact with anyone. However, once my skin infection began to clear up and I got going on medication and nutritious food (a far cry from the pebbles and garbage I was forced to eat to stay alive in the dump), my vision improved considerably.
They say I am lively & alert despite my age and I love to play with other dogs. I can be a little possessive over my toys. I even act puppy-like. One of my fav games is “Squeaky Toy Catch”. I also love any kind of food (I'm an adventurous eater.) Dog cookies or snacks at bedtime are also a highlight of life for me. Yes, I'm a bit overweight. I've been indulged, so trimming me up a bit will help a lot. I will whine like a puppy and give those puppy eyes when I want a treat. Heeheee, heads up. How can you resist?
While I have arthritis, a regime of glucosamine, chondroitin & MSM chewables, has improved my mobility.
I am pretty tolerant of other dogs, though I can be pensive and grumpy due to arthritis discomfort on rainy days or when being trimmed. Maybe some additional help from a vet could ease those days. My skin is sensitive and I still need treatment for occasional flare-ups (e.g. prednisolone, ivermectin, antihistamines.) It may be that I have allergies.
Being a geriatric gentleman, I do tend to sleep a lot. But, am happily active when awake. I prefer cool rooms, as I seem to overheat due to my thick coat. Maybe a groomer trimming will assist.
Hoping you can provide me a retirement home for my golden years. I still have a lot of love to give to you.

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.
