  RECENT HISTORY: I have lived in an apartment in the city for the past 3.5 years. I have been a bit timid with visitors and dogs who I don't know but I am a friendly gal once I become acquainted with you. I am needing a new home because my humans now have a baby and I am not a dog that easily adjusts to such a young human in the home. My current humans want the very best for me as they love me dearly and know that a new home with another dog to whom I'm properly introduced (on a nice walk with lots of things to sniff) will be great for me. I will be a loving and loyal dog for any adults and older kids who share their heart with me.

  RESCUE STORY: My rescuer found me on the streets with the rest of the litter that I was a part of. Only half of us survived, and lucky for me I was one of them! I'm a very friendly dog, but I can be a bit shy around new people. Once I get to know you, I love attention! I'm easily trainable as I am food motivated and love treats. I love being around both humans and dogs, and I love to play and cuddle with my humans.

TRAINING: House trained, can walk well on leash

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 and should begin within a day or two of arrival. After your dog has settled in, check out 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.

  I have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, & micro-chipped.
