Greetings fine peeps. My name is BASIL (Pepper) and here's some info about me:
Breed: Flat Coated Retriever
Age: 4 years
Gender: Female
Weight: 29-1/2 kg
Height: 61 cm
Loyalty and Intelligence are my hallmark traits, as you will see in a moment reading my story.
Under my rescuer's care, I was then adopted by a family. Sadly, my adopted family faced many legal problems with their neighbors for owning a dog inside their apartment, ss is typical here in Lebanon. In the end, they were faced with an ultimatum; change homes or return me back to the facility. So, I was returned and have been with them now since February 2022.
An interesting story about me (here's the amazing part I mentioned) is that I saved the family’s youngest son from being run over by a car! I was out on a walk with my adopted family when a car drifted by and almost hit the youngest member of my family. Luckily, I recognized the threat in time and was quick on my paws. I caught the boy by his shirt’s collar and dragged him aside, making me the family’s hero! To me, I was just doing the job a dog should be doing.
I'm a clever girl, who will happily show you my obedient side. Being an affectionate pupper, you'll find me by your side ready for love, giving and getting.
Since I am still a playful dog: https://youtu.be/7HKTEpiS_20, who gets along great with other dogs and who LOVES to swim, I sure hope we'll be able to include some trips to the river, lakes and/or beaches. A kiddie pool would be fun too. We can have such great adventures together... side by side, becoming bffs.
Energy Level: Moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: Yes
Cats: unknown
Kids: unknown (rescuer states yes, but no video proof)
Fears: None observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training: leash work & potty trained
Leash skills: yes. Please be prepared to continue training.
House skills: yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health Notes:
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.
