Greetings folks, I am the impeccable Mr Hugglesworth and here is some info on me:
Breed: Terrier/Poodle mix
Age: close to 1.5 years
Gender: male
Weight: 7 kg (15-1/2 lbs)
Height: 20 cm
Highlights: friendly, loving, playful, smart, loyal
Yup, the name says it all, right? I'm a friendly, loving guy, ready to pop into your home and bring you joy.
Once I had an owner in China who owned a vegetable stand in an open market. He passed away suddenly. His family up and moved, leaving me by the empty stand. The other stall owners didn't want me in the market, so they yelled at me trying to scare me away and then threw rocks at me to chase me away. They even talked about catching me and beating me to death or sell me to the dog butcher. Sad and sickening, isn't it? I had nowhere to go though. I missed my owner and it was the only home I knew, so I was afraid to leave. I kept coming back, even though I was not welcome.
It was so discouraging, I was tired, frightened, hungry and so lonely. Then one day, my earth angel passed by the market, saw me being chased and took me home with her. Amazing miracle, wouldn't you say? I am so thankful to her. I show her all the time with hugs and kisses.
Evidently, I am considered a really smart guy, as I knew to follow my rescuer without a leash on only the 2nd day she saved me.
Yeah, I look a little funny in the picture and videos here. When my rescuer took me, I was soooooo dirty, she had to give me a total shave. It felt so good to get cleaned up though. My hair is slowly growing back, not long enough to be groomed yet, but my rescuer says I will look very handsome and cute once a proper grooming can be done.
I am very friendly with people, other dogs & cats at her home. She says I am good with her young daughter too, but currently no video proof with kids. Having a sad day? Mr Hugglesworth to the rescue. I'll bring you smiles aplenty.
She recently told me that I deserve the best life and she is sending me to a loving foster home in Canada, where I will never need to fear about being abandoned, will always be loved and cared for and will always go to sleep in a soft bed with a full tummy. Now THAT sounds like a wonderful fairy tale ending to me. Please adopt me!

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.
