Hi! My name is NONYA, and here is a bit about me:
Breed: Basenji/Canaan Dog mix
Age: 1 year
Gender: Female
Weight: 11 kg
Height: 40 cm
Highlight(s): Friendly, Sweet, Eager to please, Loving
You’d never know by my sweet and loving demeanor that I was abandoned at a clinic as a 1 week old puppy and lived the first 5 months of my life in a cage there.
Even though those first months are very important for a puppy’s socialization, somehow this confinement didn’t prevent me from being a sweet, cheerful girl. When my rescuer heard about my living conditions, she immediately took me away to live in her house with her. My rescuer was concerned at my small size and slow growth, worrying that perhaps I had a chromosome issue. Then the vet told us that I was absolutely riddled with worms, and they were stealing all of my nutrition. Rude! I feel so much better now that we’ve evicted those things.
Now I’m focused on making up for that early lack of socialization by soaking up lots of play time with my foster family, including dogs: https://youtu.be/nPAAdPwDdN8, cats: https://youtu.be/i0iUjDYxlKU, and every human I meet!: https://youtu.be/6wZsDgStGXI, https://youtu.be/EJxUqNOLJ0E.
My rescuer named me Nonya, which means “little spoiled girl”, because she says I deserve to be treated like a princess for all of my days. I wish I could tell her that I don’t need anything else, as long as I have a loving family who will make sure I never live in a cage again. I try to show her how much I appreciate everything she’s done for me by immediately doing anything she asks with affection and enthusiasm!
She’s made me feel so safe that I am happy to meet any new person (or pet!) who comes my way, and I never feel the need to bark in alarm. You can see from my pictures that I always have an adoring gaze and a big, happy smile on my face for everyone!
I’ve got all of the joy, curiosity, and enthusiasm of any young dog my age, and my rescuer says I’m so eager to please that I’d learn tricks and commands with ease. She thinks I’d fit well into practically any family, and that I’d thrive with other furry siblings (though I’m happy to be an only child as well!) Even though I’m still technically a puppy, I’m not one of those super energetic, hyper pups. I have about a 3/5 energy level, and I’m not a vocal girl.
I’d really love to find a family of my own who wants to take me on adventures and show me all of the wonderful things the world outside of a cage has to offer!
Energy Level: Moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: yes
Kids: unknown
Fears: unknown/none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.

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.
