Hi there. My name is Hazelbug (Findik) and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Golden Retriever/Lab
Age: 1.5 years
Gender: Female
Weight: 50 pounds
Height: 44 cm
Highlights: easy going, sweet, patient, friendly, social, well mannered
UPDATE: January, 2024. Hazelbug has worked through her timidness and is no longer shy. Soon a video of her running gleefully - to be posted...
With my delightful, endearing personality and social nature, I have won the hearts of everyone around me. I am now ready to embark on a new chapter cherishing a family of my own
Being one of the lucky ones, I never saw the difficulties on the streets of Turkey. I was born at one of the private shelters in Turkey.
I was so social during my puppyhood, but while I was growing up became shy and timid. I bonded to an elderly dog where I felt safe, but that dog was adopted and I became lonely. Even though I am shy, with some touching I start to smile at you. Whoever adopts me will win a jackpot, as I am an easy-going bean who is friendly with all humans, dogs & also cats are on my good list.
I'm a social butterfly, and my favourite pastime is showering humans with affection. Whether it's gentle tail wags, enthusiastic kisses, or soulful puppy eyes, I know just how to melt hearts: http://youtu.be/YTQbijtnQ_I. I thrives on human interaction, making me an ideal companion.
Not only is this girl people oriented, I'm also a socialite among my furry friends. I get along famously with both dogs and cats, showcasing my adaptability and easygoing nature. My playful antics and gentle demeanour make me a joy to have around, creating a harmonious atmosphere in my foster home.
With good manners and impeccable behaviour, I know basic commands. I am doing well on house training. While I do most everything outside, I prefer to use pee pads for peeing. So I'll need a bit more time to work through that. Given that I walk gently on the leash, it makes it more enjoyable to take me for a walk. I am happy with a few shorter walks per day, but could easily enjoy longer ones too.
It is not known how I am with kids, but from my sweet and easygoing character, they think I could live with kids, as long as they know how to interact with dogs. Cats you ask, no prob: https://youtu.be/rMdGazASy9s, https://youtu.be/ZErYz9udVj0.
My rescuers have never seen me barking, as I just take a back seat on my spot at home and wait for my human to take me for a walk or feed me. I can stay home alone, and never destroy your furniture. I'm such a good girl. I'm ready to love, if you're ready to receive it. It would be grand if you could get my tail wagging.
Whether it's a cozy evening on the couch or an outdoor adventure, I am eager to share my affection and bring joy to my forever family. I will effortlessly integrate into your life.
If you're seeking a social, loving, and adaptable companion, I might just be the perfect fit for you.

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.
