Hello, my name is Dennie (Benny) and here is a bit about me:
Breed: Maltese/Poodle mix
Age: 2 yrs
Gender: male
Weight: 13 lbs
Height: 9-1/2 inches
Highlight(s): cuddly, smart, patient, quiet, sweet, calm
You'll find I am a serene and sweet pupper. I am fluffy and soft and just love to cuddle up on a loving lap.
You see life was a tad rough for me and I was hurt by someone who was supposed to love me. He was a drug addict though. So neighbors saved me from him multiple times. Until finally at 7 months old, a neighbor who found me in really bad shape. In fact, with 2 broken bones and paralyzed. They dropped me off at the shelter. I was almost euthanized by the vet, but my rescuer looked into my eyes and saw life and hope. I’ve always had hope and felt I was meant for a better life, so I guess she got the message from my big brown eyes, that I was meant to live! https://youtube.com/shorts/Kr2IwLcW_xU?si=_SnfdVeuQLtTjo2S
Thank goodness my eyes can speak and are so expressive! My rescuer fought for my life and so did I. It took 3 months for recovery and I have plates in my leg. Not to worry, I can walk and run around fine playing with the other dogs.
You would not believe what a good boy I am. I am never aggressive and really only bark when I am scared of some big dog. I am quite happy now: https://youtu.be/6-BV7gcj_cY and just know the right new owner will adopt me soon.
I don’t mean to brag, but I am quite soft and fluffy and cute, and I have overheard them saying how smart, patient and quiet I am. I kind of hope I meet my match, someone who is almost like my soul mate and is also patient, calm and kind. Someone who talks kind to me, lets me cuddle in their lap, protects me from bigger dogs, understands my sense of adventure and my love for toys! I’m only 2 after all, so I am still into toys and I am pretty curious, since exploring is how I learn best!
I am eager to follow commands and learn new things. I just wish I had my house training under control. I am hoping I can get it right, but right now the vet is not certain if the damage to my spine is permanent or temporary and only time will tell. So I still have some #2 accidents. I was in a crate for a very long time and now I just want a loving lap and a fresh start with someone I can be my loving self with. I hope you are my match!
I'm in love with attention from kids too and showering my affections on them, as well: https://youtu.be/S0XuZYp3eTQ, https://youtu.be/m4g4KYjxUS0.

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.
