My name is TIMONA (Piper) and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Poodle/mini Schnauzer mix
Age: 2 yrs
Gender: female
Weight: 15 lbs
Height: 28 cm
Country of origin: China
Highlight(s): Friendly, quiet, loves walks, shy
Given my quiet disposition, you'll think you adopted a mouse. A big fluffy, puffball of a mouse.
At the beginning of 2024, my rescuer saw me and three doggie friends happily following a street cleaning lady, hoping to get a piece of food from her. The cleaning lady told my rescuer that the four of us were strays and she had no means of providing for us. She asked my rescuer if she would take the four of us and of course my rescuer did! She got us vet checked, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, groomed and took us to her shelter.
Life at the shelter wasn't good for me. Because I was small, I was often the target of bullying and was bitten by other dogs a few times which made me very apprehensive about the shelter and I tried to hide at corners. So, my rescuer took me to her apartment and I have been living there for more than half a year now. I go about my day there, but being shy, I stay in the corners most of the time. I don‘t “fight” with the other dogs for my rescuer’s attention when she gets home. But when it’s time to go out for a walk, I am the most excited. Walks are super special fun.
I am a friendly little fluff ball. I can live with other small dogs, but am rather skeptical of larger dogs, since I was attacked by them. I can live with adult cats, little kitties, I chase. Go figure. Though there is no video proof, my rescuer has a young daughter I get along with.
Whether you have another little dog, a cat or no other pets, I will do fine. I'd enjoy daily walks. Dog parks might not be my thing given my experiences though. I am looking for my forever home to enjoy life to the fullest! I'm in Vancouver in a loving foster home, please adopt me!
Energy Level: low-moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: yes (other small, no large)
Cats: yes (adult cats)
Kids: unknown. Rescuer says I am good with her young daughter, but no video proof
Fears: bigger dogs

My adoption fee is $850.00 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.
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.
