Story
Hello, Vancouver! My name is Shilar (aka Sunny, aka Shade) and here is a little info about me:Breed: Malamute / Husky mixAge: 3 years (born 08/13/21)Gender: MaleWeight: 62 lbsHeight tbdHighlights: Very sweet to everyone I meet, gentle, intelligent, cuddly, loyal
I am so excited to be here in Canada! I arrived this fall (2024) and have been having an amazing time living with my foster family: exploring parks, making other canine buddies, and discovering the pleasures of toys & cozy couches. My foster family says I am so very gentle, quiet, and adorable.
Shilar aka Sunny was found in one of the most dangerous areas in Lebanon, hiding under a car for protection. Local kids were throwing rocks at him, and residents would shoot at him to scare him away from houses. He depended on the kindness of strangers while living on the streets. He didn't have a home and his litter mates and mom were nowhere to be found.Rescuers took Shilar / Sunny to a foster home in Lebanon where he was kept safe from the dangers outside.An approachable guy, he gets along with every human and dog he meets. Interested in squirrels and birds; with very little prey drive.... he mostly stares up to see where they've gone in the trees and sky. He loves walks and running off leash. Cuddles on the couch are a new favourite of his, and will be your's too once you meet this guy! Really smart and eager to please, he'll gladly be willing to learn all that humans can teach him.Sunny would thrive in a home with a yard where he could run around and explore. He gets along well with other dogs big and small, but doesn't understand when they don't like him.... he just wants to be everyone's friend. Having "siblings" who are equally kinghearted would be wonderful-- he is great at sharing his food and toys! Alternatively, being an only dog would be just fine too, as long as he can still meet other dogs on walks or at the park to share his love!
Energy level: moderateI get along with:Dogs: YesCats: Unknown (shows no prey drive when he sees them during walks)Kids: Yes
Fears: Sometimes loud noises can spook himTraining: Knows how to sit, lay down, give a paw on command. Understands "leave it" or "drop it". Responds well to name "Sunny". Working on recall command. Please be prepared to continue training. Leash skills: Leashes are new to him since fall 2024 and he's learning manners. A front clip harness minimizes pulling. Sometimes gets "zoomies" on walks when excited and jumps around. Please be prepared to continue training.House trained: Yes. New environments can be stressful, please be prepared to monitor and continue training.
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.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.
