Soffia's Bio
Hi there! My name is Soffia! Want to learn about me? Read below.
Breed: Husky / German Shepherd mix
Age: 9 Months
Gender: Female
Weight: 20 kg (44 lb)
Height: 50 cm
My siblings (Samuel and Sebastian) and I had a rude introduction to the world. We were found in a box by a trash bin at only one month old. My rescuer had found us and took us in. We were found to have parvovirus. They had us treated and now we have recovered! Given the first part of our life being scary, we are very grateful to have been rescued. However, we are ready to spread our wings! Recovered and well, we are excited to meet our new families. The shelter is getting a bit too cramped for us now.
Are you looking for a new addition to your family? Maybe that’s me! I am smart and funny! I’ll make you laugh and keep you on your toes. I like to cuddle and I’m more calm than my brothers. My rescuer says I have a medium energy level.
I would do best in a home that has time to exercise with me! I also love mental stimulation. If you meet those two needs, I think we’ll get along just fine. I get along with other dogs and I like people! When it comes to kids and cats, I haven’t met any yet! My rescuer notes they have not observed any prey drive.
I am house trained and leash trained! But I am the prime age to absorb more information! I would love to learn new tricks and skills!
Energy Level: Medium
I get along with:
Dogs: Yes
People: Yes
Kids: Unknown
Cats: Unknown
Prey drive: Not observed. My adopter needs to be willing to train me through these behaviours should they arise.
Fears: None observed. Please be patient in assisting me in my transition.
Training: I am house trained and leash trained! I would love to expand on my learning.
Health Notes: found with parvovirus at one month old. Has been treated and recovered. I am neutered and vaccinated.
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.
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.
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.
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] *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.
