Ahoy there. My name is SALTY and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Golden Retriever/Lab/Shepard mix
Age: 6 yrs
Gender: female
Weight: 30 kg
Height: tbd
Highlight(s): likes to play ball, people friendly, bonded with Sweet
Nothing better than having both sweet and salty at the same time, is there? My sis and I are both looking for homes.
When I was puppy, my rescuer found me with my sisters. Our mother had an accident and died. One of my sisters came to Canada many years ago when she was a puppy, but me and Sweet (also posted) were taken care of by a good hearted acquaintance of our rescuer.
Sadly, after almost a year, that person died of cancer and we were put in a boarding house, because we could not integrate with all the many dogs in our rescuer's home already.
We've been together in boarding. The owner of the boarding house asked that we be moved to another place or pay a lot more. Our poor rescuer simply can't afford more. So we need a home asap, so we are not thrust into a crowded shelter with little food or out on the dangerous streets.
Me & my sis are good with people, including children and we love to play ball. I am fairly friendly with other dogs, though my sister, Sweet can tend to be a tad alpha with smaller or other female dogs (except with me), but she loves large male dogs. We're both very friendly and make friends fast. https://youtube.com/shorts/-dZEGlbvbco, https://youtube.com/shorts/NRgkukM6aBk
It is time for us to find a home of our own now. I'd like to stay together with my sister, but know that may not be possible. So, we could go to separate homes.
I'd love a yard, but as long as I get outings, it's good. Really hoping since we've been together so long, we can stay together.

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.
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.
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 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.
