I can be on a flight in January, if I have an adopter lined up.
Hi hi hi. My name is GOBY (Toby) and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Golden Retriever mix
Age: 11 months 013124
Gender: male
Weight: 17 kg
Country of origin: Middle East
Highlight(s): friendly, playful, affectionate
You'll see I am a very friendly pup. I will wag my tail and give you kisses.
Discovered in a city, tied to a tree without water, food or shelter, a rescue shelter volunteer saved me. The locals, who had tied me up, didn't want the volunteer to free me, so she snuck back the next day and brought him to the shelter. Sheer cruelty these people try to inflict on us dogs here.
I'm still a young dog, so will get very excited and jump up on you. So, I'll need you to teach me proper manners. I have met children aged 11 on and am fine with them. I am really playful and love to chase other dogs and play ball. I love pets and attention, and am really just an affectionate boy. I did meet the one cat at the shelter and was interested in him, but in a more playful way. So likely with proper intro, I'd do fine with a kitty too. Well, hopefully a cat who likes to play anyway.
I do great on leash, no reactiveness. I am still a tad worried about cars and trucks, but I'm sure given time, I will learn I am safe with you. Probably some quieter areas away from traffic to walk in the beginning would be best.
While I would love a yard to run around and play in, if we could get out places for fun, that would work well too. I hear there is a thing there called dog parks, which sounds like all the rage. Hope I can experience the fun of that.
Hoping to be in your arms soon.
Energy Level: high
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: unknown
Kids: unknown
Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training:
Leash skills: yes. Please be prepared to continue training.
House trained: yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes:
I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
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.
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.
