Story
Hello, my name is IGGY and here is a little info about me:Breed: Terrier mixAge: 13 years oldGender: Male, neuteredWeight: 26 lbs (need to lose a few lbs)Energy level: Moderate/low
I’m a sweet little senior scruffy Terrier mix with a gentle soul and so much love left to give. I recently came into foster care after my person could no longer look after me, but I’ve been taking it all in stride. I’m a kind, quiet boy who just wants to be close to my humans, curl up in a cozy bed, and enjoy life at a slower, peaceful pace.
As I’ve gotten older, my vision is gone and my hearing isn't what it used to be. Because of that, I’m hoping to find a calm and patient home where I can feel safe and supported. Once I learn my surroundings, I do really well and still enjoy my short walks and familiar routines. I prefer homes with no to a few strairs only.
The nice people here are taking great care of me, and I’ll be getting a full dental soon, so my future family won’t have to worry about that. I don’t need much in life… just a quiet home, a warm spot to rest, and someone who understands that senior dogs like me are truly something special.
In return, I’ll give you my whole heart, steady companionship, and a gentle, loving presence. If you believe in giving a little old man like me the love and dignity I deserve in my golden years, I think we might be perfect for each other

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.

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. 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 the dog is shown to be good with children we will approve homes with children 8 years or older.
