Hello All!! My name is Maxie and I am a handsome, 78lb, 1 year old guy with a distinguished heritage of both Labrador and Golden retriever DNA. Does it get any better than that, eh?! I am known for my calm demeanor and ability to get along with everyone I meet. I love playing with other dogs, with kids, and even sometimes with cats. I am able to put lots of energy into playing and yet I also can relax and be quite calm. Dog parks and beaches are the BEST - in case you were wondering!
I have some leash skills but those skills greatly expand if I am presented with delightful treats. I'll do anything for a tasty tidbit!
My story is that I was adopted by a wonderful woman with 2 young kids. She was told that I was born a few months after my mom got out of the yard and came back, with me on the way. I have to be rehomed because my adopter has important family matters to attend to. Despite her deep love for me, she has been caring enough to give me up for adoption so that I can get the care and attention I deserve.
I am immunized, microchipped, and neutered.
My adoption fee is $700 plus taxes.
Fears: None observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Highlights: Goofy, affectionate, curious and loves to snuggle.
Training: I know SIT, DOWN, STAY and GENTLE
Leash skills: I like to pull a little because I'm young, but I will get much better with your help.
House trained: yes
Health notes:
I have been vaccinated, spayed & microchipped.
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.
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.
