Hi there! My name is DARLA and here is some info about me:
Breed: Husky / Labrador Retriever
Age: 6 years
Gender: female
Weight: 60 pounds - 28 kg
Height: 26 inches - 65 cm
I am a very sweet and happy dog. I am gentle and just want to move through life in a smooth way. I get along well with people and also dogs, not sure about cats though.
Found roaming around in the hills outside of a major city, I was first seen by people who thought I was blind because of my unique eyecolor. My eyes are very light and sky blue. As most people who know huskies understand thus is pretty common. Once I arrived at the shelter they realized that I can see fine. I have been waiting at the shelter since.
What I really want is to not live the rest of my life in the shelter, but to have a family of my own. I would love to be someone's best companion, to hang out and share life together.
Energy level: moderate
Get along with:
Dogs, yes
Cats, unknown
Kids, unknown (awaiting video proof)
FEARS
So far, I am not fearful of anything. I will probably be scared when I get on the plane.
TRAINING:
Leash skills – none, work in progress...
House trained – no, please be prepared to help me learn!
I have been spayed/neutered, *vaccinated & micro-chipped.
My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD + 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.
[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.
