My rescuer is trying to get me to Canada in December. Hoping I will have an adopter waiting by then, so I can come.
Howdy. My name is PASHA and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Australian Shepard/Canaan Dog mix
Age: 1-1/2 yrs
Gender: male
Weight: 12 kg
Height 42 cm
Country of origin: Turkey
Highlight(s): active, playful, friendly,
I am a very active little boy. Hoping you are an active family so we can have lots of fun adventures together.
Sadly, though I am young, my short life was spent chained up. Only recently the farmer that chains me started allowing my rescuer to walk me. The highlight of my day is afternoon walks with her. The farmer has agreed to relinquish me to her. Yeah. My life is on the way up.
I am very friendly and have a healthy appetite. While I am playful, I also enjoy going just cruising out for walks and learning all the new things there are out there. I can be fearful of people encountered when out on a walk, especially if fast, large movements are made. This should improve, once I know I will no longer be hurt. I was likely mistreated/beaten by my former owner.
Socializing is something I am learning to do with other dogs and how to walk on leash. I have been walking on the leash now for about one month. At the moment, I pull initially, but then settle down after about 15 minutes, likely because I am chained up all day snd excited for my walk. UPDATE: My resxuer says I am walking really well on the lead now. Smart and willing to learn boy am I.
I am finding out what it means to be a dog that is loved. Are you ready to love me? My cute face says please.
Energy Level: high
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: unknown
Kids: unknown
Fears: I cower easily if my leash is pulled or you make large movements. I will just need time and understanding.
Training:
Leash skills: Yes. Please be prepared to continue training.
House trained: Not yet, but once I have an approved adopter, a foster home will be found to work on this. Please help me learn where to go on my new home.
Health notes:
I will be neutered, vaccinated & microchipped prior to travelling to Canada.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
[MID-EAST] *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.
[TURKEY] Dogs from Turkey receive a 4D SNAP test to include Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.
