Hey big world. My name is RACCOON and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Husky
Age: 9 months
Gender: male
Weight: 40 lbs
Height: tbd
Highlight(s): playful, energetic, social
If you Peter Piper picked a pack of peppered puppies, how many puppies would Peter Piper have picked? Why, all of them of course. But there is just me, so that makes it easy for you.
My rescuer found me on the road in the Middle East. It was in the dark of the night and I was in the middle of the road. I could have gone under the wheel of a car at any moment. Thankfully, my rescuer suddenly saw me and swerved the car to avoid running me over. That was just a couple weeks ago.
I currently live with a small dog and 3 cats at the boarding house where I am staying. I love to hobnob with the cats. For a husky pup, I actually seem pretty gentle.
No bonzai bounce in this kid, but I can be like any puppy, mischievious and playful... like a raccoon. I kind of look like a raccoon too, hence my name. Playing in water is fun. https://youtu.be/g6pn3t3zOvI. Teething time: https://youtu.be/k16ka0tG71s, past it now though.
Being a social boy, I'd love a home with other fur brothers or sisters: https://youtu.be/fHqO7oa2V_k, even the 2 legged kind of siblings is fine by me. Heck, let's get everyone in on the fun. I know a good thing when I find it though and like to hoard all the attention to myself. Hopefully, we can do hiking and other outdoor adventures. Especially snow activities, I'm a sled dog, right? Energetically, bounding through the snow, pulling Santa's sleigh, oh wait, that's the reindeer. Ha.
I'd love a yard best, but if we manage enough action out and about, I should be ok without.
I can't travel into Canada until I am 4 months old, but that is soon, so by the time you complete your app, I'll be close to old enough.
Energy Level: moderate-high
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Kids: unknown, but quite likely, as I am just a wee pup yet
Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training: none
Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me.
House trained: Yes or No. Please help me learn! OR where to go in my new home.
Health notes:
I am too young yet to be spayed/neutered, but I am vaccinated and microchipped. Spay/neuter will be the responsibility of the adopter and is required for my adoption to be finalized.
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.
[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 receive 4D SNAP tests - which include: Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.
