Hellooooo, I'm NUGGET (Nila) and here is sone info about me:
Breed: Spitz mix
Age: 5 years
Gender: Female
Weight: 12 kg
Country of Origin: Middle East
Highlights: eager to please/learn/train, loyal, Cuddly, Confident, Funny, Mellow, Relaxed
I may be small, but I have a big heart—and a story to tell.
Not too long ago, I was in a scary place. I was being held by some kids who weren't very nice to me. They would kick and hurt me, and I didn’t know why. I was so scared and anxious, I just wanted to curl up and disappear.
But then, something amazing happened.
A kind lady saw what was happening and decided to help me. She came over and asked the kids if she could take me with her. They said I was their dog, and wouldn’t let me go unless she paid them. So, she did—just to save me. She gently picked me up and brought me to a safe place, where I could finally breathe again. I didn't know people like her existed.
It took me some time to feel safe, but now I know I’m loved. I love being around people, especially ones who are gentle and kind. I adore snuggling and being close; it makes me feel safe and happy.
I'm a mellow pupper with a funny streak. I've grown confident niw and love to make you laugh at my antics. I eagerly learn and love to make you happy. This should make training fun for both of us.
My heart is full of love, and I’m just waiting for a forever family who will love me back.
Could you be the one to give me that warm, loving home? I promise to be the best cuddle buddy you could ask for.

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.
