Hi there, my name is OLIE and I am all ready to go home with my forever humans. I am part poodle (which means that I likely don't shed. I am a young guy of about 2 and a half years old, I weigh about 19 lbs, and my height at the shoulder is 14 inches. Let me tell you a bit about my history.
I was dropped off at a terrible shelter by my human when they thought that I was not a cute puppy any more. The shelter was awful and I was miserable there. The caretaker used a pressure washer on everything, including us dogs! The food was moldy in the food tray and the water buckets had worms swimming in them. When the caretaker was drunk, he would even beat us dogs with a shovel. There were many dog fights and several of the dogs died in those battles. We were all so afraid there, especially those of us on the smaller side.
One of the really nice women who volunteered there to care for us took me with her to her shelter and after a brief wait there, I was lucky enough to be taken onto a flight to come to Canada.
My temperament is very easy going and I am a quiet dog as well. I love to meet humans, dogs, and even cats. My energy level is moderate and I even have some leash skills. I am very close to being house-trained as well. I have been around children and I am very comfortable with them too.
Don't I sound like the perfect dog? If you meet me, you'll see that I am a gentle soul with a playful and kind temperament who is seeking my new forever family. Maybe that's you?....
I am immunized, microchipped, and neutered.
My adoption fee is $850.00 CAD plus applicable taxes. This includes my transportation to Canada.
Disclaimer: It is important for all applicants to visit our website, http://www.lovedatlastdogrescue.ca/adopting/ and read about Loved at Last Dog Rescue.
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.
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.
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.
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.
