Hello, I'm GIARA (Gia) and here's a bit about me:
Breed: Golden Retriever/German Shepard (Daddy), Pointer/Terrier mix (Mama)
Age: 11 mo
Gender: Female
Weight: 17 Kg
Country of origin: Lebanon
Highlights: Loyal, Intelligent, Affectionate, Playful, Shy
Here I am, an affectionate girl, eagerly awaiting a family to cherish me, as I desire to bring joy & love to your household.
Sadly, my country is experiencing severe turmoil currently. My mama is Jackie, also posted. She found herself abandoned along with her 2 siblings in a remote area of Beirut. Their cries for help reached the ears of a compassionate passerby. She alerted rescuers of their plight. My mama was of course, pregnant with me and my 2 sisters, Piara and Tiara (also posted.) Since that day, we and my mama & aunts have been under our rescuers care.
My rescuers are moving all of us to Turkey for now, so we will be safe, until we are adopted.
So now, after receiving all the love and care we deserve, we are ready to embark on a new journey—to find our forever homes. I so look forward to that day.
You will find I am playful, although a bit shy to begin with. I am quite intelligent and a very loyal little girl. You wil be ever so much loved by me and I will give you my heart fully.
Energy Level: Moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: Yes. Vid on the way
Cats: unknown
Kids: Yes
Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training:
Leash skills: Some. Please be prepared to continue training.
House trained: No. Please help me learn!
Health notes: Minor eye infection in photos cleared up.
I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
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.
