Happy day. My name is Georgia and here is a bit of info about me:
Breed: German Shepard/Golden Retriever mix
Age: 3 yrs
Gender: female
Weight: 88 lbs
Height: tbd
Highlight(s): very friendly, cuddly, sweet
Just the sweetest gentle giant ever, I love to cuddle and surrender myself to the experience. That being said, I do find it a bit hard to share my family with another female who, like myself, loves human attention. I am much better sharing with a male dog who will be an easy-going play partner.
Roaming free as a neighborhood dog in my country of origin, I was cared for by the people there. Then a new non-dog friendly family moved in. They asked animal control in my Middle East country to remove me (which means kill me.) When my rescuer found out, she asked one of the nice neighbors to move me to a boarding facility to keep me safe until I find a home in Canada.
I am the loveliest, most friendly dog you'll ever find. Good with people, including those mini-people called children. I am also good with all male dogs but I can be bossy around female dogs who are smaller than me. Which is currently what is transpiring in my current home. Cats? Not a problem, they aren't of much interest to me.
I'd love a home with a yard best, but so long as we get out for adequate exercise and fun, I would probably be good without one.
Energy Level: moderate to moderate-high
I get along with:
Dogs: unknown. Rescuer states yes, await vids
Cats: yes
Kids: unknown. Rescuer states yes, but no video proof
Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training: not really
Leash skills: no. Please be prepared to train me.
House trained: Yes
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.
[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.
