Hello, My name is DALTON and here is a little info about me:
Breed: dachshund/Terrier mix
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Male, neutered
Weight: 18 lbs
Height: 13 in
Dalton was found roaming the streets in Middle East and he ended up in a shelter. His breed and age are our best guess. When Dalton was rescued, he was underweight, dirty and very hungry. We don't know if he ever had any owners or not but he loves humans and their attention. We don't think he was ever abused because of his happy and friendly nature. He loves to give kisses and cuddles to his foster humans. He greets everyone with a wagging tail and craves and enjoys love and attention. He is great with other dogs but not good with cats. He is an active and playful boy, with moderate to high energy level. After a walk or play time he likes to cuddle and watch movies with his human. We want to make sure he is loved for the rest of his life. He is fully house trained but please be prepared to train him in a new home. He can fly soon to Vancouver if he has a home, please adopt him!
Energy Level: Moderate/High
I get along with:
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Yes (with video proof)
Prey drive: unknown/not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.
Fears: unknown/none observed.
Training: basic
Leash skills: Please be prepared to train me.
House trained: Yes but please be prepared to help me in a new home.
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.
Due to the present confrontational Middle East environment where this dog resides, airlines are minimally operating. He/She may therefore be delayed in arriving to Canada. He/She will eventually be sent, but we have no specified timeframe at this moment. If you are willing to wait, we and this dog appreciate your patience.
Most passengers from the Middle East now require a fee to accompany a dog on a flight. Due to this, if a rescuer finds a flight with this requirement, we will contact you to see if you are willing to pay the passenger. You are under no obligation to do this. If not, another flight will need to be searched for, though there is no guarantee a free or lower cost one will be found. Though oft times a passenger is requesting higher amounts, the fee will not exceed $250. Our rescuers work extremely hard finding flights and spend tremendous amounts of money caring for and sending these dogs to safety. They simply haven't the extra money to cover this. Thank you for your understanding.
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.

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 the dog is shown to be good with children we will approve homes with children 8 years or older. More information can be found on our website.
[MID EAST DOGS] *Vaccinations: Dogs from the Middle East are vaccinated for rabies, parvo, distemper, leptospirosis, adenovirus type 1 and para-influenza. Bordetella is not given, as that has not been a problem in the Middle East.
