Hello. I'm RINALDO (Rio) and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Ibizian Hound/Canaan Dog mix (Wadi dog)
Age: 3 yrs
Gender: male
Weight: 33 lbs
Country of origin: Oman
Highlights: loves affection, shy, easily trainable, sensitive, vigilant, curious, calm
Imagine a gentle gentleman with a resilient spirit, that’s me!
While I might be a bit shy at first, my heart is full of curiosity, and I’m just waiting for the right person to show me that the world is a safe and loving place.
Life started on the streets of Oman, where my two sisters and I struggled to survive as tiny pups.
After being rescued at just two months old, it became clear my front legs weren't growing quite right.
Following two major surgeries (ulnar osteotomies) to repair my forelimbs, the road to recovery has been long, but my progress is amazing!
Currently, I’m healing in a wonderful foster home, and even with a temporary cast, nothing can slow down my spirit.
Watch my recovery progress! https://youtube.com/shorts/fypzHrGGREE.
Being a 'gentleman' describes me perfectly; I’m well-behaved indoors, ride exceptionally well in cars, and can be left alone without any issues.
While strangers might make me a bit nervous at first (you might hear a little 'growl-talk' while I find my courage), once trust is built, I am all about 'happy-joy-joy' affection!
Startling easily is still part of my nature, but with gentle reassurance and time, my confidence grows every day.
Learning new things is one of my specialties, so you'll find me to be a very quick student.
A patient, kind family in a quiet or rural location would be the dream match.
Having doggie siblings to adore is high on my wish list, as their company helps me feel secure.
While cats have been ignored in the past, and older, dog-savvy kids should be fine, my biggest requirement is a family willing to give me the time I need to adjust.
A yard to explore would be the absolute cherry on top!
I am completing my healing presently and should be ready to wing my way to you soon.
Energy Level: moderate
I get along with:
Dogs: yes
Cats: unknown, but lived with them before, so highly likely
Kids: unknown
Fears: none observed. Please be patient assisting me in my transition.
Training:
Leash skills: a little. Please be prepared to continue training.
House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home.
Health notes:
Currently recovering in a cast with plates in both legs from a radius and ulna valgus repair.
Posture and elbow alignment have greatly improved; a follow-up evaluation is recommended in the future.
I have been 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.
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.
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.
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.
[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 from Turkey receive a 4D SNAP test to 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.
