My name is OKIEDOKIE (Omid) and here is a little info about me:

Highlight(s):
Okiedokie, I'll tell ya straight up, I'm known for my attractive and kind nature.
My journey began at just 4 months old in the Middle East, when a tragic accident left two of my back legs and one front leg badly broken. Despite the painful course things took, I underwent rigorous surgeries and received extensive rehabilitation.
Thanks to my rescuers, I am now back on my paws and a whirlwind of fun.
Temperament you ask, okiedokie... I am energetic and playful. I get along well with dogs and have a special bond with my girlie friend, Barli. So, if you have interest in 2 pups, it'd be okiedokie by me if we went to a home together.
I haven't had exposure to kitties, but I have with kids: (vid insert on the way.) My training on leash and potty work is in progress. Kind of hard to work on here at the shelter, but I have some leash skills already.
I am just a happy go lucky boy, with a particular attraction to water. Hmmm, maybe I have some labbie in me. Please let me show you my loving & sweet side and you won't want any other candidate for a companion. See how relaxed I am even about food: https://youtube.com/shorts/XV3L94ix1dM?si=2WKT1nOZqdg4Abdf. Awaiting my forever family. Okiedokie, is that 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.
[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.
