My name is JARVIS (Local) Coquitlam - yo!

My name is JARVIS (I answer to Jessie) and here is a little info about me:
Breed: Terrier / Maltese mix
Age: 4 years
Gender: Male
Weight: 10 kg / 22 lbs
Height: 12 in
Country of origin: Middle East (Now in Coquitlam, Canada)
Highlight(s): Quiet, sweet, sensitive, expert hugger!

A total sweetheart who settles seamlessly into any home!
Looking for a best friend who won't forget the carrots and cucumbers.

Found in a rough situation with serious dental and back issues, life started out quite difficult.
Since being rescued and brought to Canada, every day is a step toward feeling safer.

Having survived the pain and loss of many teeth, the focus is now entirely on the bright future ahead!

Gentle, affectionate, and well-behaved, settling into a home routine is a breeze.
Morning hugs are a specialty, just wait for that soft head to rest against your chest.

Expressive ears tell the whole story, sometimes up, sometimes down, and always adorable.
Quiet and devoted to pleasing, being a loyal companion is the ultimate goal.

A calm, steady environment like a condo or bungalow (with few stairs) would be the perfect match.
Thriving on patient, kind handling, an adult home or one with older, respectful kids is best.

Energy Level: low

I get along with: 
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Kids: Yes (older/calm)

Fears: Separation anxiety. Being alone is tough, but manageable for short periods.
Please be patient assisting me in my transition.

Training:
Leash skills: Yes.
House trained: Yes. Please help me learn where to go in my new home!

Health notes:
Previously treated for early-stage IVDD with corticosteroids and now fully healed. Active, happy, and doing great! 17 teeth were removed upon arrival, leading to much better health.

Diet: No chicken or chicken products. LOVE cucumbers and carrots!

My adoption fee is $750.00 CAD plus applicable taxes.

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.


• 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.


• [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.
