Story
My name is FLASH and here is a little info about me:Breed: Golden Retriever/Husky mixAge: 3 yrsGender: femaleWeight: 26 kgCountry of origin: Middle EastHighlight(s): Nurturing, gentle, intelligent
Wondering how I got my name? A strikingly unique characteristic of multi-colored eyes is why. Just have a look at my photo. Flashy, isn't it?Almost three years ago, on a hot summer afternoon, my rescuer was returning home from work when she noticed something white moving in the distance. As she got closer, she realized it was a little angel — a tiny puppy with two different-colored eyes.So they rescued a beautiful baby girl, me! The moment they saw me, they laid down on the ground and I started wagging my tail happily. They prepared some food for me and began searching for hmy mother. They asked the security guards nearby, and they told her the heartbreaking truth: my mother and sibling had died, and I was the only one who survived.They couldn’t just leave me alone, so decided to keep me safe within the area and take care of me. That was how my journey of survival began. I am now at a shelter where I am kept safe, unlike when I was on the street.I absolutely love eating and also I enjoy playing with puppies and other dogs. One of my cutest habits is that I love lying down — even when I eat my food. Silly, don't you think?Although I have never had puppies of my own and was spayed at one year old, the moment I see puppies, I naturally turn into a kind, gentle, and devoted mother figure. My nurturing instinct is truly special. I do well and am gentle with children too. Kitty catties are a no though. They are just too fun to chase.I have basic leash experience, though it is still limited, so further training wil be needed. I am very intelligent and understand commands such as “sit” and “come.” I am quite trainable.In summer where it is very hot here, I mostly lie down during the day and becomes more active at night, when I sometimes howl. In Autumn/Winter, I am active both day and night and enjoy moving around more due to the coolness.I await a safe, loving, and permanent home, where I can finally feel secure and loved forever.

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. You will NOT be asked to pay a passenger fee on top of the cargo fee.
[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 Leishmania, Heartworm, Ehrlichia, & Anaplasma, as well as Giardia, Parvo, Corona & Distemper.
