Hello peeps, I am the tenacious TIMBIT and here's some information about me:
Breed: Spitz mix
Age: 3 years
Gender: Male
Weight: 9 kg
Height: 29 cm
Don't let my cute looks fool you, I am a courageous dog, who has survived some difficult conditions and lived to tell the tale.
Rescued from an abusive family, who neglected me and left me alone at home for long hours, they sometimes left me without food or bathroom breaks, let alone sniffing walks.
I am generally well behaved, quiet and super friendly with people. Running and being chased are some of my favourite activities! Door bells are however a different subject. My ears are senstive to the noise and I let them know my discontent. I am alert and will bark at stray cats and dogs, just to keep them in line. My ideal home would have no cats or large dogs.
Energy Level: Moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: Yes to small dogs. No to large dogs
Cats: No
Kids: Yes, I'm super friendly to the little humans
Fears: Cats, because of my exposure to the many stray cats here
Training: Limited, please be patient with me while I learn to adapt to my new home
Leash skills: Yes, I walk well on leash (check out my video!)
House trained: Yes.
Health notes: I have been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
My adoption fee is $850.00 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.
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.
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.
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.
*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.
