Hello, My name is Basmati and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Spitz/Terrier mix
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Male, neutered
Weight: 17 lbs
Height: 11 in
I was owned by a horrible man that was running a puppy mill in the Middle East. When I was rescued, I was in a tiny cage dirty and injured. I had an infected cut on my neck, maybe from a rope or chain around my neck... I try not to remember! My injury is fully healed now, but I'm missing some hair on my neck. The good News; it's all growing back! In fact you might not even notice it by the time I get to come there.
I didn't let my horrible past stop me from being a happy and loving boy. I greet people with a wagging tail, I'm a little shy, but I get comfortable with new people quickly after you give me a treat. I crave and enjoy love and attention from humans. I'm good with other dogs and I live with many of them in a foster home in Middle East.
Being a very submissive little guy, sometimes other dogs bully me, but I don't do anything back, not even a growl. I am a happy go lucky boy, with a moderate energy level.
After a walk or hike I like to cuddle and watch movies with humans. I'm almost fully house-trained and my coat is low maintenance, though sheds a little. I like to be loved for the rest of my life and have a home, please adopt me. I can arrive to Vancouver soon, if I have an adopter!
Energy Level: Moderate/low.
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: Unknown
Kids: unknown. Rescuer states yes, but no video proof
Prey drive: unknown/not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours, should they arise.
Fears: unknown/none observed.
Training: basic
Leash skills: Please be prepared to train me.
House trained: Please be prepared to help me in a new home.
My adoption fee is $850.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.
Due to the present confrontational Middle East environment where this dog resides, airlines are minimally operating. He/She may therefore be delayed in arriving to Canada. He/She will eventually be sent, but we have no specified timeframe at this moment. If you are willing to wait, we and this dog appreciate your patience.
Most passengers from the Middle East now require a fee to accompany a dog on a flight. Due to this, if a rescuer finds a flight with this requirement, we will contact you to see if you are willing to pay the passenger. You are under no obligation to do this. If not, another flight will need to be searched for, though there is no guarantee a free or lower cost one will be found. Though oft times a passenger is requesting higher amounts, the fee will not exceed $250. Our rescuers work extremely hard finding flights and spend tremendous amounts of money caring for and sending these dogs to safety. They simply haven't the extra money to cover this. Thank you for your understanding.
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.
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 the dog is shown to be good with children we will approve homes 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.
