Take the Pet Home
This helps Loved At Last Dog Rescue with pet care costs.
Good day folks. I'm BOATSMAN and here is a bit of info about me:
Breed: Beagle/Whippet mix
Age: 11 yrs
Gender: Male
Weight: 25 kg (55 lbs)
Height: 56 cm (22 in)
Country of Origin:
Highlights: Bright, optimistic, affectionate, loyal, sometimes grumpy (aren't we all??), relaxed energy
I’m a wonderfully chill senior who promises to be your most devoted companion. I earned my name from the rescuers who saw my unique, rolling gait like a seaman on a ship! I am simply looking for a quiet home where I can finally relax, gaze into your eyes, and live out my days in peace.
Due to instability for rescue teams, I have an urgent need to reach a safe, forever home as soon as possible.
I was found by rescuers who came across me staggering through the mud near a local garbage dump (yes, you read that right... abandoned in a garbage dump!). They saved me from a tough life marked by old injuries, including limited movement in my hind legs. However, this old boy acts like he has no disabilities and loves to be your loyal best friend!
My rescuers brought me to their center and gave me medical treatment. After several weeks, joining the dog pack was successful, generally getting along well with the other dogs. The team suspects a rough past before being rescued, but quickly adapted! Looking for a peaceful home is the priority, meaning the best dog companions are mellow and/or female. Interacting fine with a lot of dogs, but because of history, can be reactive to younger male dogs or highly energetic youngsters—just prefer them to stay out of this chill zone. Ha
I’m an affectionate guy, but because of a tough past, warming up to men can take a little time. Responding best to women at first, when treated with kindness, gentleness, and respect for my space, quickly learning to trust men and becoming deeply loyal.
My only rules are simple: Don't compel me to do anything uncomfortable. I also don't care for harnesses; it is best not to use one.
Due to my mobility issues (especially managing stairs first thing in the morning), I sometimes have intermittent difficulty controlling my bowels/bladder. This is fully manageable! A dedicated morning schedule and a belly band/diaper can be easily implemented until I get outside. My rescuers also noted that certain medications or acupuncture often help manage this issue. In spite of this small challenge, my love and loyalty are unconditional!
Ready to move forward! All that’s needed now is a quiet, chill home where I can finally put feet up and relax, and learn what true trust feels like.
The greatest loves? Spending time with trusted humans and receiving gentle caresses! I promise to love you unconditionally every day, and I enjoy being near other dogs—even though I can't run and play, I’m happy cheering them on from the sidelines.
A final thought: a simple arthritis supplement would go a long way in keeping me comfortable in my retirement!

Energy level: low-medium
I get along with:
Dogs: yes. Most. (Can be reactive towards young male or hyper dogs)
Cats: unknown
Kids: unknown
FEARS: I'm a bit of a Ladies' Man, but any gentle man can quickly earn my unconditional trust!
TRAINING:
Leash training: no. Please be prepared to train me.
House trained: yes. Though intermittent difficulty with bowels and bladder, which sometimes happens in the house.
HEALTH NOTES:
I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
My adoption fee is $600.00 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.
[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.
[TURKEY] *Dogs receive 4D SNAP tests - which include: Heartworm, Ehrlichiosis, Leishmania and Anaplasmosis.

Take the Pet Home
As adopters of overseas dogs will be taking their dog home from the airport, they have a couple of weeks to decide if the dog is a fit.
