How do you do? My name is NILA and here is a little info about me:
Breed: German Shepard mix
Age: 2 years 3 months
Gender: female
Weight: 32 kg
Height: 65 cm
Highlight(s): curious, lovable, intelligent, active
My rescuer describes me as "very lovable, intelligent and very trainable." I'm a big bundle of love waiting for your open arms.
My rescuer found me in a sack when I was a puppy. Sadly this happens a lot in my Middle East country. Since I loved to eat from the very beginning, I quickly became friends.
While generally good with male dogs and small breeds https://youtu.be/djuikRvSm-w , I am not friendly with some female dogs my own size. For this reason, it is better to be adopted in a family that does not have another dog or does not have another female dog, because can be very jealous and want pets all to myself.
I have a good relationship with children. It is better if the children are older (8 yrs+), because I am very playful and run here and there, which could result in inadvertently bumping into a smaller child and knocking them down. Await videos with kid. Given my initial reaction to a cat, I could probably learn to live with one. https://youtu.be/dCJHzu7XR_E.
I love playing with a ball. Toys that can handle a tough chewer would be best.
My genetic predisposition is to keep watch and bark at strangers. Not aggression, just alerting. Being very loyal to my owner, if someone approaches and I feel the stranger is dangerous, I will bark at them. With time and proper training, I will learn to differentiate what is normal in my new environment and adhere to commands. If I don't see my owner for a while, I will run towards them, wag my tail and start whining and growling (just my way of talking.) It's really rather cute.
I need a harness for walks, as I hate neck collars and don't like anyone to hold my neck at all.
I really enjoy car rides, but don't like being tied in. You may need to hug me to get me in the car at first. Of course, being a foodie, you may be able to entice me pretty easy. I'd do best in a home with a yard, but you should ensure the fence or hedge heights & spacings are such I won't jump over or slide through, as I am also quite the curious girl.

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.
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.
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.
[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.
